Yeah, it aired in Canada last night, but I think it was a one-time thing.

Bugger.

my PVR didn't pick it up despite being auto set to record Arrow though I think CTV are dicking around with it a bit - it on CTV or CTV2

Awesome!

I really liked the latest episode, I like how the flashbacks are being incorporated. I wonder how long it's going to take before his sister learns his secret too.

So in the tent the guy with the Deathstroke mask is called Bishop. Does this imply Checkmate and can that mean Barrowman is Maxwell Lord?

[Donald Draper]

I have assumed its Lord all along. Just because I can not think of any other DC villain it would be. Not even because of a Checkmate connection because I have know of him more from the old JLI days. But looking that up I am even more convinced.

[Guy Gardener]

What?

Not Deathstroke?

Were we fools to jump to conclusions or were the producers fools to not use Deathstroke?

Or is Bishop, or some other chesspiece going to turn out to be Slade Wilson?

Yes. American audiences didn't watch Arrow on Tuesday because they were too obsessed with the election results. It had nothing to do with the fact that it doesn't air until Wednesday there. Not at all.

Actually, it normally airs in Canada on Wednesdays as well, simulcast with the CW (plus or minus an hour depending on where you live). But since we luuuurve your politics so much, we let you guys report on that with your national channels, instead leaving us to show repeats of shows that would normally air that night. Someone subsequently had the idea of advancing Arrow one day, and probably caught some ratings increase as a result. The wife and I sure loved catching is a day early, as it allowed us to watch Lance et Compte live on Wednesday without unsmiling distraction from Oliver Queen.

I suspect Deathstroke will appear again. We did not see him die in the flashbacks. We know we will see more of those. When Oliver was found Deathstroke's mask with an arrow through the eye hole was shown.

It appears they are setting him up for more. I would hope he is still alive in the present for a full episode about him. I do think the show is using comic characters to lure fans but not using them very well. Hopefully Deathsroke will appear again. But they used the publicity pictures and trailer to make it seem he was a huge part of the episode. Similar with Deadshot. I was not impressed with him. Other than the eye piece, that could have been any generic assassin who was quickly killed off.

[SG-17]

Maybe I am having a brain fart, but I thought it was always Wednesday in the US?

Anyway, Deathstroke's mask looked weird honestly. Though I am glad he is there. I hope that Laurel becomes Black Canary soon as well.

[sojourner]

It is always on wednesdays in the US. Canada got it on tuesday this week.

[DeadmeatDiggory]

I don't know if this has been brought up yet. But with Diggle in the sidekick role, and with Ollie's sister as a possible would-be Speedy, could we see Diggle take on the Arsenal (grown-up Speedy's codename) role?

[Guy Gardener]

"Speedy" hasn't shown the slightest inclination that she could step up to the plate immediately as a street fighter or tech support... but if she suddenly got superpowers...

[JD]

Why would they give her powers when she doesn't have any in the comics? If anyone gets powers it pretty much has to be Laurel. As for no hint of a crime fighting future for Thea, I've been wondering if Oliver will decide to bring her into his crime fighting as a way to clean her up.

[sojourner]

I don't think he would put her in harm's way.

Anyone else notice the physics defying ice cubes? Oh, silly prop master...
