Precision's important. It took me a moment to realize which of the cast you were talking about. Think of all the non-primates reading your text. D:

Quite a few millennial grew up playing PlayStations, and N64s. Those seem to almost be more immune to bad cgi.

I simply did not find it cathartic. It felt more like the same whining she was doing a few episodes back about Eddie. While it's actually justified this time, it's ironically an old plot-point now and thereby feels a bit rehashed. We just need her to stop holding the conflict ball and do something productive. …

Oh god yes. Played right, he could be a be a season big bad and lead into a Brother Eye arc for season… six?

It's that Dexter smile. It just slays.

That "Darth Ollie" joke couldn't have been coincidence. Amell's a dead ringer for Starkiller thanks to that buzz.

…maybe they just thought of it.

Don't conflate an arranged marriage with the subject of discussion here. Grooms choose their brides no more often than women in arranged marriages. They're frequently done for monetary or political reasons, after all.

Ironically, this "losing all sympathy" bit strikes me as an emotional knee-jerk reaction. Quenten's gonna have to live with the aftermath of his actions. That might be what causes the exact character growth you think he needs. When would that happen? Likely next season.

There were only three vaccines, right? Ollie, Katana, and Maseo take the vaccines. They fail. Kid dies. Ollie thinks he should have gone alone.

It's not dumb. It's called trust. I mean, sure, that trust can be misplaced in an untrustworthy individual, but it's not really dumb to have your trust betrayed. That's victim-blaming.

See, this would be a decent explanation, and it's a very valid one, but the main problem is that the writing doesn't express this. A mark of bad writing is sloppiness, and sloppiness often manifests as vagueness. As far as we know for certain, Iris cannot tell the difference.

Loose lips sink ships. Telling someone else's sensitive information to another without their permission is incredibly immature and selfish.

I think BTAS is actually why so many modern usages are "Raysh." Supposedly, "Raysh" is the pronunciation his creator used, but also, supposedly, he was trying to write the name entirely in Arabic, so it's unclear if the pronunciation would have been maintained. That's just heresay, though. I haven't seen any quotes…

Ulterior motives…

I wish the public identity thing happened earlier in the episode. Unmasking himself on television and turning himself over would have done wonders for public opinion, I imagine. It's also the type of move I could see comics Ollie pulling.

There are two "correct" pronunciations of "Ra's." One follows Hebrew pronunciation rules while the other follows Arabic. "al Ghul" is always pronounced using the Arabic rules, and DC seems to not care which pronunciation of "Ra's" is ultimately used.

I never noticed that. I was too distracted by how the cops seemingly drove to a roof.

Would set up most of the pieces for an Identity Crisis.

As I was watching this, I was wondering why it seemed so familiar. As it turns out, I had seen a Tiny Toons episode with nearly the exact same plot. Apparently it was titled "A Gremlin on the Wing."
