I'm just waiting for an old man in tennis shoes to start randomly appearing in visions to Oliver.

Me too; it makes me smile.

Let's also bring the band Fall Out Boy in as well to "hint" at the comic book origins in a oddly convoluted way.

What really puts me off this kid in particular is just pronounced his American accent is. . .

Sadly, this is all true: when they said they'd "run out of story on the island" for the flashbacks, I didn't think they'd have this much of a problem when they had THE ENTIRE WORLD to create a plotline in. . .

This comment has made up for all the annoying niggles that I had with this episode of Arrow: thank you.

God yes: watching her at the moment is just exhausting.

I was expecting that scene to highlight how the pit was stopping working for him, given that they'd just revealed that information: seemed a bit of an odd choice, to be honest.

This. This. THIS.

Let's note something else about this scene, too; no unnecessary flips at all! Insane!

I think I heard he's in a different show now, and that's why he got his ass kicked so hard by Brick? Don't quote me on that though. . .

Good bloody point! What happened to that whole "Maseo Ras is going to kill you for helping me" plotline? They just dropped it!

Also a male escort.

I would love that, to be fair.

I can't be the only one who's completely unconvinced by the ability of Ray to anchor his own show, can I? As much as I like Brandon Routh, Ray as a character is really not that interesting: tragic backstory tick, but otherwise it's "rich white boy privilege allows me to almost blow up an entire building trying to…

I agree with all of the above: I'm not really sure what they're going for, I cannot for the life of me see how Cold and Heatwave fit into it as main characters, and the Caity Lotz thing is REALLY confusing: if she's playing Sara again, the reasoning for not having her back in Arrow rather than on this show is going to…

Does anybody else think that the writers mistakenly thought that Shado randomly turning up was going to blow our minds, at all? I can't have been the only one to be a bit "meh" about it?

Your comment sums up my feelings about this season much more succinctly than I could; thank you!

Haha, nice!

It really was, wasn't it? God damn I Nyssa.
