Wow, Arrow hit the ground running, didn't it?
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Jesus Christ, Sara. I expected her to die in the S2 finale, but DAMN. A little melodramatic for her to land right in front of Laurel, though. And it had to be Malcolm Merlyn, right?
And Ollie is completely ass-stupid when it comes to relationshipping. Although I'd be pretty happy with a Felicity/Ray Palmer ship. I mean, we can all see it coming over the horizon, right?
And Ray Palmer? ADORBS.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Poor Cop Daddy.
In the boxing match scene, there was a shot where we could see the back of the robes some of the boxers were wearing, and it said "Wildcats," right? I swear it did. Which is AWESOME, even if it's just an Easter Egg and not the introduction of Ted Grant (Wildcat in the comics).

Haven is moving to Fridays at 7. And now I'm ducking out before seeing any Arrow spoilers.

I have discovered that if I have my TV in the exact center of my living room space at an 30ยบ angle to my couch and with my laptop desk in a precise space between the TV and where I'm sitting then I can get the CW and watch shows live.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
quester - that is awesome and makes me laugh.
Arrow - I don't even know. I feel like that is going to be all the Felicity relationship they give us. I knew nothing, NOTHING, about Sara. gut punch.

I read io9's morning spoilers every day, because I'm an unrepentant spoiler fiend, but they tend to not actually spoil HSQ moments like this (like when Slade killed Moira, io9 reported a couple of weeks before that the show was filming a funeral, but that was all -- they never said for who).
So for all my spoiler-mongering ways, I had NO IDEA this was going to happen. (And, I can't help myself, I did actually laugh at the fact that Sara's arrowed body landed right in front of Laurel. Oh, comic books.)
I feel like that is going to be all the Felicity relationship they give us.
I'm actually on board with Felicity and Ray Palmer (that's not spoilery; it was just pretty clear last night that there was sparkage). Plus the Flash promo for the season as a whole showed Barry and Felicity kissing, which I'm ALSO 100% behind. So -- you go, Felicity.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
When did Ollie get a bow that he can fold up and put in his pocket? (I'm willing to hand-wave all sorts of ridiculous stuff on this show, but Iron Man-esque magical folding bow bothered me for some reason.)
Also, I'm kind of amused that Felicity actually puts on her brightly-colored dresses she started wearing as Ollie's Admin to go to the Arrow Cave. (Last season I just assumed she didn't bother to change after work.)

Heh. We had a similar conversation about the Flash -- Tim said "There's no way there would still be cow manure on the tires after that long of a drive!" And I said "But you're okay with the rest of it? The lightning bolt-exploded particle accelerator super speed and super villains?"
