Arrow - Season 3

I'm thinking that Roy has to have killed Sarah, possibly under some kind of mind control by Ra's or something. There's no way he could have dreamt about the exact dialogue that took place on the roof unless he was there. If it wasn't him, then it's a ridiculous and blatant oversight by the writers.
It's just a way to reuse the footage and to throw the viewers a red herring.

Yeah, it's a suspension of disbelief thing - same reason when anybody on a TV show has a flashback you see it from 'our' perspective rather than theirs. TV shorthand.
 
Ok double geek out moment at the end. Atom and the Boomerang. A terrific end to an ok episode. Well actually the dinner was a nice ending as well. Now who is our mysterious DJ I wonder?
 
So...howbout that reveal. No plans for Ray to become the Atom, huh? You lying liars.

They said it was unlikely we would see him have shrinking powers. I still believe that is true. Beyond keeping the show more grounded, its that particular power. Its going to be very VERY, hard to make shrinking effective and not ridiculous looking on a tv budget.
 
It'll probably cost more to do that suit of armor on a tv budget than it will to do shrinking effects. That was an Iron Man movie level of armor they showed us.
 
They need to stop writing Roy/Arsenal to look so weak. Also the whole Diggle/Felicity convo about her personal life was weird. I don't buy how Qupid in 6 months was trained enough to fight Ollie. Also the flashback guy helping Ollie, I don't buy his excuse for his disappearance...

I don't like the cocky DJ, who the hell just kisses someone like that apart from creeps.

for a minute i thought he was calling roy 'arsenio'.

and the creepy dj just looked like he'd smell bad.
 
I liked the endingof the episode. Captain Boomerang looks cool, and I hope we get to see Palmer actually be The Atom.

She was on SWAT already. And probably a violent headcase in her private life too.
 
I am sure we will see Atom do his shrinky dink thing and vanish then Ollie will get the company back leaving the Atom free to migrate to The Flash where he would fit in better. Although I really like Ray Palmer on this show.
 
Is it me or is Routh trying to channel Tom Cruise in his performance? And Stephen Amell on the salmon ladder?

Fun episode. Forgettable villain, but the flashback story was more fun anyway. Agreed that Roy should really stick out more. For a sidekick partner with a slick outfit, he's having trouble finding his place on the show. Unlike Diggle, whose role may be absent at times, but when he's there you know exactly what for.

I enjoyed this one. Cupid was a fun villain. I'm assuming from the end that her next appearance will probably be as part of the Suicide Squad.
The Ray/Felicity stuff was fun. I wonder if the stuff with the suit at the ends means they're going to go full on shrinking Atom, or if they have something else up their sleeves.
Yeah, I'm not quite sure what the make of the DJ. He seemed like they wanted him to kind of a charming ass, but he came across as more of just an ass to me.
The end with Captain Boomerang was cool. I wonder if setting up the next episode's villain in the last scene is going to be a regular thing now. We got it in two episodes in a row.
 
I'm the opposite of you JD. This month I've seen two mad women on TV and I have to say Missy on Doctor Who was way more interesting and convincing than Cupid on Arrow.
