Samurai and Cowboy movies drew from each other, so I figured it was homage to that

well they worked because every arrow episode is split between two timelines - so in an episode where the characters are in a dream world, it's perfect to have the "Flashback" portions take place in the real world. It's really why this episode functions perfectly.

Honestly, this should have started last night, and should have used the first episode to help with pacing — but it's because they still are adamant that a crossover not trample consistent progression and focus of each episode.

Once they dragged Wes into being a traitor who would inform on Annalise, it HAD to be him or the series was over - now that he's dead, there's no case and the series can continue once whoever murdered him gets taken care of.

This is awesome. I'm assuming someone just messed with the original vocal track.

a filler supergirl episode styled after the Hangover might actually be really really fun

I'm struggling between this and Supergirl, becasue Arrow is once more delivering what Arrow is meant to, but Supergirl is taking over from Flash as the most comic book show on TV.

My thought is that this is the effect of being cast out of heaven - he was horribly burned and scarred by his fall, which we have seen happening to Amenediel's wings. Since God cast him out of heaven, Lucifer being burned and scarred makes a ton of sense.

It is indeed the velocity costume with a black and white flash logo slapped on.

I might be in the minority here (and I fully expect to be left with a low-rating after this), but this was a pretty uninspiring hour of television. Nothing here is fresh or original. The acting was solid (BDH did impress) but it's more just pandering to a negative world view that people have and those people praising…

to be fair, they're mostly riffs on Wonder Woman's invisible Jet.

Asking the real questions.

They do seem to be trying to push the canon - Ms Teschcmacher being a direct link.

"We're moving back to Gotham" is easily the most DC Comics line i've heard on TV to date. This show has majorly stepped its game up.

Not use — make. I know that she knows how to use the faces but when did she learn to make them? SHe didn't seem to take one as she left the house, so where did she get the face for tonight?

Storm's End was controlled by Renly I think.

I've started to wonder if that's going to happen.

I know she can use the faces, but where did she get the face? She walked straight out of the room, and she didn't learn how to make faces, she just saw them getting cut off. Is that all you need to do?

Deus ex Mormont is awesome. She rolls in, takes names, and gives no shit.

I'm more crying foul at her making faces, that seems like something she never learned, and she didn't grab a bunch leaving the house… Something about that whole scene struck me as just wrong.
