Yay! I really liked last night's episode. I actually have some faith in the CW sticking with shows. They certainly did with Nikita.
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

omg, even fairly spoiled Arrow is killing me. I know it is bad because I am watching in real time. People, I am watching commercials.

I remain boggled at how fast air travel is between Starling City and Nanda Parbat. It's like NYC and DC, or something.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Yeah, they might as well be teleporting.
As for the show, I have no idea what the fuck is going on at this point. Soooo, did Oliver actually see Diggle's face in the opening scene in the last ep? Because he totally murderized that guy. Or was he faking then and said, "ah well, a random league dude, whaddaya gonna do?" He was also totally gonna kill Nyssa!
Also, I can't believe he trusted Malcolm, OF COURSE he was gonna stab you in the back! Unless his betrayal was also a fake-out.
Uh, I'm assuming the gas released from that vial is some kind of a sedative obviously. Man, his friends are gonna kick his ass SO MUCH after all this is over. Diggle's pissed enough that I'm actually afraid he is gonna say "fuck you all" then just LEAVE at the end of the season.

Hey. New board.
iZombie was intense this episode. Definitely upping the realness.

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 really don't see how two weeks of training with Nyssa (or whatever it was) could get Laurel to the point where she can take on a horde of League Assassins. But, hey, superhero logic.
Also, Team Arrow needs to get on the phone with Cisco and get him to rig up some radio earpieces that also counteract the Canary Cry. I was expecting Diggle to get shot when he reached into his pocket for those earplugs.

In situations like that, couldn't they have one of the vigilantes use their brain and bring knockout gas and a mask to screen it rather than suddenly developing Bruce Lee-level fighting skills?

So here are some things bugging me:
- I want Lyla POV from 3x21 to 3x22
- I want scenes we are missing from 3x19 - 3x21 whenever Oliver worked out plan with Malcolm
- why why why could we not get a line with Nyssa objecting to wedding because he is a man. Why did her sexuality have to remain unvoiced?
- I need a timeline of episodes btw arrow and flash it has been off for a while.
- on topic of the two shows - how did the time reversal only affect CC?
- why no canary cry in NP?

Because knockout gas would be boring, Matt.
On the time reversal, I imagine it only affected Central City because the changes Barry made didn't really have any cascade effects outside of town (or at least, not noticeable ones). I imagine that the reversed day just repeated itself with little-to-no changes in the rest of the world.
No clue why Laurel didn't hit the assassins with a Canary Cry. My handwave would be she didn't want to risk damaging Felicity's hacking gear.
One note, I thought the Katana costume was pretty well done.
