I apologize if I missed it if anyone posted a link earlier, but our own Knut (AKA David Schwartz) has a funny piece up: A Fox Studio Exec Meets With The Creative Team Of Sleepy Hollow, An Incomplete Transcript
So worth the read!
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
ita, they showed Palmer (Felicity's new boss) using a salmon ladder - not QUITE as impressive as Oliver, but good enough to leave her at a loss for words.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I watched the editing carefully and there aren't two sequential jumps. It's back and forth camera angles and sound effects, and him hanging more than anything else.

ah ... I guess I was noticing the lovely muscles and didn't pay attention to what he was doing with them.

I was happy to see one jump, personally. But that was not as satisfying as previous salmon ladders.

I love that Ollie's "something we both need" was dinner with friends.

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.
Yeah, I totally thought he and Roy were just going to suit up and punch some random crimimals. I was pleasantly surprised that they ended up at Diggle's.

I rewound to be sure, and yeah -- Brandon Routh has a lot of work to do to catch up with Stephen Amell.
Also, KATANA OH MY GOD.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I've been enjoying Brandon Routh as Ray Palmer a lot, but that whole couture dress and diamond necklace routine with Felicity made me give him a total side-eye. I also harrumphed at the fact that Felicity was successfully won over by this ridic 80's Harlequin romance tactic. The fact of the matter is, while the writers for this show have movingly portrayed fantastic family and team dynamics in the past, they can't write romance for shit. That whole love triangle was just wall-to-wall cliches.
I did go, "oh, PUPPY" at Oliver's "Ralph Wiggum's heart snaps in half" face after catching Ray and Felicity mid-kiss, 'cause I'm not made of stone, people. YOU HAVE NO ONE BUT YOURSELF TO BLAME, OLIVER. Poor idiot.
Was it just me or did that guy playing Captain Boomerang have, like, 10 times the presence of the dude they tapped for Ra's al Ghul? He had a fantastic voice, too. Apparently the actor has Lebanese heritage. Why couldn't they have cast him as Ra's for crying out loud, instead of a generic white dude with an Australian accent of all things?

Yeah, Felicity's about-face due to the dress and necklace felt very off. Especially because up to this point she had been rightly telling Palmer his behavior was creepy.
