Boxing glove arrow moment was sweet. But I wasn't that big on the rest of this episode. Not that this show is ever subtle or anything, but boy howdy, the weight of the anvils was mighty in this one.
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I do love the fact that Roy hasn't met a bad guy he won't try parkour on.
And when Ollie lit the candle for the gay porn meditation and Roy said "this is weird," I said "Roy, you speak for all of us."

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.
I did a little fist pump and yelled in delight at the boxing glove arrow. That was absolutely perfect.
I actually liked Laurel in this episode (though it would be nice if 90% of Katie Cassidy's reaction shots weren't her staring with an expression that looks like a mix of disgust and surprise.) I think it's one of the rare times she stood up to Ollie when she was in the right.
So apparently whoever killed Sara threw the arrows using super strength?
Nice that Wildcat really is a former vigilante.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Haven't seen tonight, but some things are bugging. Where is sin/cyn ? Sara dead for a while now and no mention of her at all. If she's off the show, write 1 sentence to clear that, or did I miss something.
Laura's being all "my sister was murdered and no one knows". Just a few words writers "in my family". Lots of people know. Lots of your friends know. That just seemed lazy.
I loved Mom Smoak, so good. Wonder if we will get more.

I haven't seen tonight's either, but Sin (that's how IMDB spells it) has really been underused on this show. I wonder if she is going to end up being the one who killed Sara, not that I know what the motive would be.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I spent the episode thinking "Where have I seen her before" until I looked her up and she used to be "Eve" on DOOL back in the day. (80's)

Sorry, I had to skip and post in the middle of watching the episode, I was that excited. I don't know much about Green Arrow, but the boxing glove arrow looms large in that little bit.
I think Laurel is growing on me. That scene with "we used to date" on she was kinda great.
What's funny is that I watch The Flash and think "I might like this better than The Arrow" and then the next day or so I watch The Arrow and I'm all "I love this show!" Well played CW.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I definitely like Flash better, although I hate love triangles and forced estrangement because of secrets. Well, I love Supernatural, and it's the ne plus ultra of subtextual love triangles and manic lack of communication.
(Ep 200 was tumblr-perfect)

(It was indeed)
I think whether I prefer The Flash or The Arrow depends entirely on which I've seen most recently. They both have my number.
I do like that Barry is not telling whatshername only because Jesse L Martin made him promise. And that that is spectacularly failing at keeping-her-out-of-it. As far as secrets go.
