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.
Mal: Does she understand that? River: She understands. She doesn't comprehend.

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?"

You know what character I REALLY missed in this episode?
The salmon ladder.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Arrow: It was a good episode, and yet I am not okay with nearly anything that happened in it, except for the cute baby being born. I just don't like Brandon Routh for some reason and this episode was no exception. And I am not not not okay with Sara being killed off that way. I was so relieved when she didn't die last season.

And was it clear what Sara was doing back in town? I mean, League of Assassins ... who was she supposed to kill?

Plot device, ready for her fridging.
(Yep, kind of bitter about that shit. It really needs to stop.)

Yeah, I was waiting for the dramatic reveal of who she was sent to kill and then suddenly: meaningless death.
If it wasn't Merlyn (and I have no idea why he'd want Sara dead) it appears there's another rogue LoA member on the loose.
Apparently Ra's needs to work on his benefits package.
