Arrow - Season 3

Very cool. Grew up on the Turtles and liked Casey Jones as Character. I will see the sequel for Amell even though I have yet to see the first movie.

On the Atom's powers. One of the producers was very specific in a recent interview that we will see him able to do more on his upcoming episode of the Flash than we have seen on Arrow. Not just because they want Arrow to be more grounded either. The Flash has a much big effects budget. Makes sense. Arrow does mostly stunt work.

I haven't seen the first movie, but the reviews have made me not want to. It's apparently very dumb and Michael Bay-ish (though I think Bay is only the producer rather than the director).

If you want to see a TMNT adaptation with an Arrow cast member in it, I recommend the current animated series, which is really smart and well-made and features Kelly Hu (Chin Na Wei/China White) as Karai. Clancy Brown (Gen. Eiling on The Flash) also has a recurring role as Rahzar.
 
^ Eh, these days, you watch the "Honest Trailer" and the "Everything Wrong With..." plus a "Half in the Bag" or video review or two and you've pretty much got the experience of seeing a bad movie without actually having to watch it. :p

I trust Amell's TMNT stuff won't interfere with his Arrow commitments. I guess when one has already built up abs, one might as well make as much from them as possible!


Anyhow, here's some funny from the AV Club:

These Arrow and Flash eps. really feel like sweeps months eps. with so much happening in them. And Shado having a twin sister is an old trope, but maybe she'll be back. However it was nice that Lance referenced both Barry Allen and Ray Palmer in this ep.
 
Quentin getting pissed at Oliver/Arrow is total b.s. He just went Rambo on him without just cause, other than the fact that Laurel and Ollie kept Sara's death a secret from him. Boo-hoo-hoo. Surely, he doesn't really believe Ollie killed the mayor. I get ill when these supporting characters make really bad decisions. :lol:

I wonder how Roy posing as the Arrow to vindicate Oliver is going to work out. Quentin already knows the truth, but then most people don't. Ollie walks a free man but is still left to face Ra's al Ghul.
 
That was just every level of awesomeness possible (if thats even a word) :wtf::eek::drool:

Next week's Flash seems to jump ahead of this episode or screw with the timeline so I wonder how that will affect Arrow?
 
This episode made no sense. Lance already knew that Felicity, Laurel, and Roy worked with the Arrow, and there was a line about warrants being issued for the Arrow's accomplices -- yet Felicity was off in her own separate subplot in the hospital, and the cops just ignored Roy when they burst into Verdant. Granted that Lance wouldn't want to expose Laurel, but he could've easily arrested Felicity and Roy in their civilian identities and tried to get to the Arrow through them. Plus he did send his men to chase after Black Canary along with the others, so if he was trying to protect Laurel's secret, he was being damned inconsistent about it.

Also, Laurel made the same mistake with Quentin that Oliver made with Ray last week: Telling him vague generalizations about the Arrow being framed, but not bothering to back it up with specifics.
 
Despite his rationalizations to Laurel, Lance doesn't care about the warrants issued for Felicity, Roy, etc. He is pissed off at Arrow for personal reasons and using his position to express himself. Laurel called him on it correctly. Lance denied it, but that doesn't make Laurel wrong.

My point is, if he wanted to find the Arrow, the sensible thing to do was to get to him through his known accomplices. Pick up Felicity at the hospital, interrogate her, try to get her to reveal where the Arrow was hiding. That's basic police work.

Besides, he was the one who personally issued the warrants for the arrest of the accomplices. Why would he have done that if he didn't care? Like I said, his own actions here were self-contradictory.


Meanwhile, five years ago: It's the old "identical twin sibling the dead character never mentioned" trick. Pretty corny, that. On top of which, what are the odds that Oliver would just happen to run into her?


In other news, we get the first hint that Ray's nanotechnology is capable of shrinking things. No doubt that will come into play later.
 
I wish Lance had said he long ago figured out Oliver was the Arrow. But he ignored it because he had grown to trust him.

This season Oliver's flashbacks have been completely pointless. Its hard for me to even remember what is going on at this point. Other than giving him a history with Waller and Maeso the actual plot seems to be leading nowhere.
 
Did we just see Felicity give Ray his shrinking powers?

It would see so. Otherwise what was the point of that plot development. Something happens in Ray and Felicity's appearance on The Flash. Its hard to figure though when that occurs in relation to Arrow.

In episode count Arrow is a week ahead of the Flash. Tricksters was episode 17 but this was episode 18 of Arrow. Ray and Felicity appear to be in both episodes 18 of the Flash and 19 of Arrow which both air the same week.

But Lance was right about Ollie though, Ollie is a liar, a killer and he's willingly broken the law. For all the Batman parallels Ollie isn't Bruce Wayne and Lance isn't Gordon, Ollie has continually used Lance for his own ends.
 
One aside from the all gushing about how the this week's ep was, but the writer must have been a Doctor Who fan (or had John Barrowman's input) given Felicity's line about Ray known the plots from all 34 seasons of Doctor Who (given most people talk about seaons starting from the return in 2005).
