I was shocked at how sexy that kiss ended up being. All due to the great use of his body by Jim Parsons. Well played show.

Ooh, good choice. Or Faran Tahir or Oded Fehr.

Thank you for reminding me that my disdain for Laurel is legitimate.

Heh. Ruby 3.0?

Actually I've been pretty easy on Laurel lately. I don't care what she does in the show as long she never becomes BC. There is no way they can sell that to me.

I'm not following. Walter has been a recurring cast member and Diggle is a main cast member. I'm not understanding how either character is a token character.

I thought it was a bit of an homage to Marge Gunderson out of the gate.

Where are you getting that Sara fucking Ollie makes a good relationship?

I'm going to have to rewatch the episode because I thought the entire reason for her doing this was because Ra's wanted Sara back in the League or dead.

The mission which was dictated by Ra's a Ghul. I think she was attempting to use the relationship to get Sara to come back on her own, but then she ended up with her feelings for Sara being why she decided to let her live and set her free from the League.

But she didn't do it ONLY for that reason. She did it because Ra's a Ghul wanted Sara back. I don't know why that's being lost here. Nyssa is the only reason Sara is free now.

He established himself as a partner/advisor to Oliver last season. It's not token.

His role has been reduced this season for sure, but it's not a token minority character.

Hey, Walter's back and he was never a token minority. And neither was Diggle. They are both fully formed characters.

Since Thea is Ollie's half-sister, I'm all in for Liam McIntyre to show up as Ollie's long lost half-brother from Robert's side.

5 years of nearly daily training and survival isn't all that miraculous.

I'm looking for some absolution

They've already done that by showing Sara in a sports bra top. It's network TV, you're never going to see boobs. Also, why shouldn't Moira be topless? She might have a great body to go along with that beautiful face.

Paul Blackthorne was not miscast at all. He's playing the grizzled, put upon cop with aplomb. He's great even with his goofy accent.

I don't know where else to post this but it's a preview on Amell's facebook page for the next episode. It's pretty frakking awesome. And I am now obsessed with figuring out who's voice is in the voice over. AHHH! February 26 is too far away!
