Arrow - Season 3

[Guy Gardener]

They dropped the ball.

Bullet proof means super powers.

Superpowers means the particle accelerator in Starling City.

Although the wiki says, that Brick was on the list and mentioned in two episodes during season one.

A connection to Malcolm before the pilot does possibly mean access to Ras al Gul's arsenal of hocus pocus.

Over in Marvelland, the Captain America of (the) Vietman (War), had sheets of hard plastic (body armour) surgically placed under his skin, which is not something that would work well in the real world unless the recipient was also on heroin.

So glad Ollies wound moved a foot further down.

I have been so disappointed with the fallout of Ollie's so called demise, they seem to be playing it like he was never dead, which is ridiculous. The guy somehow survived being stabbed, falling down quite some way, in the freezing cold for what 3 days? and he was saved by a women in a hutt with no major surgery. The only way to spin it is with a supernatural angle and they seem to be ignoring it like we are all stupid

Arrow is probably my 2nd favourite program on the television at the moment but this needs addressing by the writers.

Last week (our time), Ollie was (possibly) brought to the hut on the first day. Maybe only hours after he died. Considering Ras' men are only just now looking for his corpse this week, it's still possibly only a few hours since Oliver got his ass kicked. Everything we are seeing about his ressurection and recovery is a flash back, unless I missed it (I could have very easily) and some bugger said you've been unconscious for 3 days, which would still put them 2 days behind the present in Starling City.

Yeah, it is a little underwhelming that his recovery has been so simple.
I really enjoyed the episode. I like the fact that they actually have Laurel screwing up, and getting her ass kicked. I did enjoy seeing her going out on missions with the rest of the team. It should be really cool once she's got the skills to match the others.
Brick has been a great villain.
I'm curious what's going to become of Tatsu once Ollie leaves. I'm wondering if he might talk her into coming back to Starling City with him.
I did not see the twist at the end coming. So I wonder if this means we're going to get a big Ra's/Malolm fight later this season?
I've also been wondering every since we saw Thea being trained by her father, if she might end up joining Team Arrow sometime soon.

Ray Palmer's Million dollar Helicopter has bullet holes in it.

As a child watching Magnum PI, I remember remarking to myself "Why does TC's helicopter always get got in the same place, every week, how fricking odd?" It wasn't until I was reviewing my oldest memoires decades later that I told my dim witted 4 year old self "You dumb fuck, It's the same fucking bullets! Don't you ####ing know what stock footage is? You embarrass me you ####ing child!"

So TC was able to spot weld away 6 bullet holes a week for nine years and that wihirley bird, no harm, no foul was still air worthy?

Ray on the other hand is going to have some serious questions for Felicity if their is even one bullet whole in his huey.

"Felicity, are you a capebunny?"

For the love of god will someone please tell that poor man that his daughter is dead? This is becoming really stupid even for this show.

As for the rest of the episode, I think I'm losing interest in this show. Arrow has always been a poorly written yet entertaining show, but this season it seems that the stupid is outweighing the entertaining. I hope it picks up soon.

 

[JD]

Yeah, as much as I love Arrow, I do have to agree about not telling Lance about Sarah. It's one thing to not tell him, but to actually have Laurel pretending to be Sarah just takes it up to a whole other level of annoying.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

I think it's tough to say either way there. He obviously kept asking. Assuming they're right and finding out the truth would be bad for his heart (I tend to echo the skepticism there, though), having Sara tell him she's OK might stop him from asking too much. Once again, that's if you accept the premise.

I think all she promised was not to crash it.

There is a guy in sweden debunking all this TV/movie archery and showing how it'S really done.
Can someone give that man a green hood already?

This guy's been around a while now--he should have been contracted to choreograph the archery scenes.

Det.Lance is NO Joe West. Lance also doesn't know Oliver is Arrow.

Joe wouldn't have figured it out a long time ago. Lance is like the Lois Lane of the 30s-50's

 

[JD]

Didn't Lance say something last season about not caring who he was anymore? Or was someone in a different show?

 

[Guy Gardener]

Yeah he did say that just as Laurel was about to tell him Oliver's secret. The Archetype is way more important than the man. Finding out about the man will devalue the archetype. Remember when Rorschach was unmasked? You thought it was going to be a version of Billionaire Bruce Wayne, but it just turned out to be a penniless bipolar ugly pug nosed SOB you'd seen through out the entire book hoisting insane placards protesting the end of the world whether it was raining or shining.

The story that there's an arrow about to go though you arm as soon as you do something wrong is more effective than looking up on Twitter where Oliver Queen is tonight, which is similar enough to the "it's too big speech" from The Dark Knight Returns. It's not a mental case in a body sock, it's everything that is every going to happen to make sure that the sun comes up tomorrow.

Does he shrink!?

Does he ####ing shrink?

 

[Mark_Nguyen]

Dwarf star alloy was mentioned.

But this is Arrow. So no, he won't shrink.

Unless something weird happens when Ray and Felicity pop by Central City in a few weeks for an upcoming crossover. If he finishes his arc on Arrow and then gets amazing shrink powers on The Flash on his way out, he's perfectly set up for his own show next year.

INCONCEIVABLE!

Kind of like how Barry doesn't have his superspeed when he shows up on Arrow?

Its a big DC TV universe now. Arrow is no longer "no super powers allowed". Unless the people in charge have announced that he won't shrink (and I haven't heard anything about that), I'd say he has at least a 50/50 chance of being a shrinking hero, even if he is on Arrow.

why did he steal NFL Superpro's costume?

Best guess.

He doesn't shrink.

However, in the season ender, Ray is going to be in a position where he thinks that he's about to save the day, and maybe he does, but there's an explosion (Archer in Zero Hour!) which causes his technology to go haywire, so he accidentally shrinks to 1/4 inch in stature which puts him in a completely screwed state of position. End credits. Wait 5 months to find out what the #### that means.

The first four week's of season 4 will have 1/4 inch tall, maybe smaller, Atom making his way through a land of giants, fighting ants and beetles, trying to capture someone's attention or get back to normal size. Once Ray is back to normal size, his Girlfriend Felicity has finished grieving and moved on, but not necessarily with Oliver. He needs to figure out how to shrink and grow on purpose, and increase his fist blasters output by %1000, so that he can kill/stun a man while still only being 1/4 of an inch tall.

But that much is obvious.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

My thoughts are something along those lines. He'll shrink, but probably accidentally at first due to the Dwarf Star Allow.
