I really want it to be Laurel, but that's probably not going to have the same impact on the audience as someone that they actually like (on average, I realise some people do like Laurel).

Felicity talking smack about it while not realising Oliver could hear every word is close to being a season Felicity highlight for me. Loved it.

Totally agree. Oliver getting beaten up a couple of times so far this season isn't unusual compared to previous seasons. And so far he's really only been beaten by people with mystical/magical powers or that cop that got lucky.

Or Laurel? The writing teams made the right choice by leaving the weakest characters from each show out.

I'd be all for that except that it would likely end with a kid being added to the Arrow cast and that sounds awful.

Definitely "Settle For Me". Probably followed by "Sexy Getting Ready Song" or "Feelin' Kinda Naughty".

Better the Northern Hemisphere themed carols and songs than the Australianised efforts. They're the worst. Except for Six White Boomers. That one can stay.

Just how edited does stuff get for tv in the US? I'm in Australia where basically anything goes after 8.30pm and its always bemused me when things I'd consider pretty harmless get bleeped or blurred in the various late shows (as an example).

I reckon Oliver would totally go a fur hat. A nice modest dark brown one, perhaps, not something crazy.

What is the Arrow comment section for, if not overthinking things?

She just needs us all to be patient with her!

I'm glad they didn't use it as an opportunity for Felicity to get all cut up at Oliver at yet another stupid decision.

That fight sequence at the end switching back and forth between the two fights is arguably one of the best things Arrow has every done. For me it was the highpoint in a fantastic season.

Legends of Tomorrow better be really damn good after all the time Flash and Arrow have had to spend setting it up.

He doesn't decide how they're filmed though, does he? That's what I meant.

Who knows. On one hand, it's kind of good to have our expectations subverted, as we all assumed Year Four = Russia, but on the other hand I really just want to see Oliver and Anatoly drinking vodka and wearing fur hats.

Possibly. I think Digg was just more willing to believe the story about Andy doing shady stuff because he was angry about the family abandonment.

Well he and Oliver were able to have that chat last season in the middle of a busy square in Starling without anyone noticing it was Malcolm Merlyn, high profile billionaire businessman and terrorist mastermind.

Forgot about that. But yes, still the Russian to learn and the tattoo to get. Hopefully the flashbacks for the second half of the season take place in Russia, or the Bratva get involved on the island.

Was it that, or was it that Digg couldn't understand how Andy could abandon his family and his anger stems from there?
