A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Ehh. Too much Laurel. I mean, she's grown on me a bit and when she initially showed up at the Arrow Cave, I gave her a little cheer. But then she said stuff like "I know who you are deep in my bones" (or your bones, whatever, I guess they'd know, having boned a lot) and it just made me scoff. They keep saying how Laurel and Oliver know each other so well, etc., without really *showing* any of that on screen. Their scenes generally felt limp.
Some good Team Arrow stuff though. I loved getting a bit more of Felicity's backstory (Vegas cocktail waitress! Huh) and loved Digg and Felicity refusing to give up on Oliver despite his defeatist attitude. But yeah, this one felt like treading water a bit.
Too much Laurel.
Yup. I have no use for her.
I am finally caught up to Arrow. My brief reactions:
I like S1 better than S2, but the last few eps of S2 have had great energy. I feel like S2 pacing was a bit slow the first half of the season or so. And they seem to be re-writing history some.
I am pretty disturbed with the actress who plays Laurel and what was done to her character in S2. She doesn't look right - and I suppose that goes with her storyline of alcoholism, but she has looked like a red hot wreck all season. I was rooting for her last season, now I kind of want her to die.
"Hi, I'll be your interrogator."
Felicity is the BEST. I also loved her crying at Moira's wake *and* trash-talking the hell out of her at the same time. And having total geekgasms over ARGUS's tech!
So, it never occurred to me that Slade's "one more" that had to die referred to Oliver -- I just took it for granted it would be someone Oliver loved, not Oliver himself. I guess for obvious meta reasons since Oliver can't die? But also I feel like in-show, Slade had someone else in mind. I automatically assumed he meant Sara, but maybe not?

I think he has someone else in mind, too. And I suspect that it's going to be Sara or Laurel (or, at an extreme outside possibility, Felicity), because I think he wants to kill someone Ollie loves romantically, because that's "equal" in his mind to Shado dying.

Me, too. I kept telling Oliver he was being a little dense thinking it's him all episode. And I was thinking Sara also, both to parallel his losing Shado and because she was the one Oliver chose to live.
It has to be Sara. I never thought it would be Oliver.
However, Slade did say he was going to run an arrow through Oliver's eye, so maybe Oliver thinks that means that's how he will die.
Ack, how was that the end of the episode! Bastards, with their time limits and schedule.
