And he was an ordained minister.

Well, the season premiere proved that no matter how badass Darkh is and how effective his arrow/bullet blocking powers are, he isn't immune from being taken by surprise by an attack he doesn't see coming. Dig got him.

And bug Team Arrow to pay for his cigarettes.

When Dig finds out he really needs to stop, call and intervention, and ask "What the **** guys? Does no one listen to me? Ever?"

That was the dumbest moment for me. How do you not know that?

He's definitely going to come back in the comics robes outfit. He's not going to be the politically driven character from the comics, but they're making him the Joker. Wild but effective fighting style, slasher smile, former mob muscle turned loose canon (hey Mask of the Phantasm Joker!), and disfigured guy who kills…

I like Darkh for just how intense he is. Like, fast-talking, has a plan, is constantly on the move to get it done sort of thing. Not much hiding, just straight forward agenda driven. He's mystical but walks around in business suits and employs the high-tech HIVE (which is a nice combo). He adapts and uses the newest…

Yeah. What's up with that? She was part of a criminal conspiracy that did destroy part of the city. She admitted as much. Then ran for mayor and was somehow a major contender. Huuuuuh?

Darkh at least has a platform and a solid resume. Oliver does not.

I know he's running unopposed, but still:
-Formerly an ***hole playboy.
-Sole professional experience: Owning a nightclub that he lost control over, and running a company he lost ownership of.
-Mother was part of a criminal conspiracy that destroyed parts of the city.
-Was arrested on suspicion of being the serial killer…

That was the name? Huh. I couldn't figure out where the first name ended and the last began when they said it.

So they basically made Anarky into the show's version of The Joker (who is possibly Anarky's dad in the comics). Loses the nuance, but okay I guess. I assume he'll come back in full robed regalia. I also liked his wildman fighting style (some truth in television; junkies and people who fight with no abandon can…

Deep cover, double-blind. DEEEEP cover.

Right? They justified it somewhat (de-radiating it, plus something weird happening at the same time) and it worked.

Yeah. Saw an interview with Sears where he said they're going more of a big brother approach to Jay and Barry rather than another father figure. It's going to be nice.

Ah, okay. Never read it, just a summary of what happened, so I thought they'd said the "I dos" before Barry started snapping necks.

I mean, I know this was more when they were improperly fused before they worked it out, but wasn't the whole deal that if Ronnie or Stein died, the other died? Since Stein's still alive, I think Ronnie's alive, just on Earth 2. Something happened to him that caused Stein to collapse at the end of the episode.

"Hey Ronnie!"

No, I thinking of The Rival, the Reverse Flash that Jay had (you know, Thawne actually being Professor Zoom, reverse flash kind of being a general term for all evil speedsters), who ended up as energy and possessed Max Mercury. Isn't Black Flash death? I'm thinking of the Rival. This guy: https://upload.wikimedia.or…

To be fair, that's less than Oliver's body count in any season one episode. And these guys are killers, not the innocent hired security guards working an honest job for shady customers that Oliver took out.
