Arrow: I finally realized who Dig's brother is! its Clark from Bones!
Thank you! I knew I knew him from somewhere!

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

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.
Arrow:
Ray's excuse for not wanting to take his company back is as lousy as Henry Allen's excuse for leaving town. I realize it's so he can transition to Legends of Tomorrow, but it still comes across as lame.
I'm really worried for Lance. Methinks Darhk's smile when Green Arrow crashed his recruiting party is because he intentionally left that note to setup Lance.
Interesting that the Lazarus Pit is defense against Darhk's life-sucking mojo. (I mean, we know he used to be in the League of Assassins and left after stealing their secrets, so it definitely makes that his magics would interact with theirs in some way.)

Yeah, that note might as well have had a giant "P.S. This is a trap" written on it.

Yup. We kept yelling "It's a TRAP!", a la Admiral Akbar.

It almost looked like it hurt him (not much, but a little).

I was underwhelmed by this ep of arrow. The writing felt weaker than the last 2 eps. It makes me sad because I want Diggle to have more stuff and this ep was touted as a Diggle ep and it felt meh. I need to start tracking the writers because I think I am developing clear favorites.

It wasn't a *bad* episode, but it just felt like they were treading water, waiting to kick off Legends of Tomorrow.

It did. He briefly got bloody-eyed and veiny.
I really didn't like the handheld shots for some of the fight scenes. It gave it a very documentary feel that is at odds with the tone of the show. It also made it very obvious the characters weren't actually hitting their opponents at points.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Oh, my God, Neal McDonough. At the end, when Oliver is giving his speech, there is no reaction from Damien, except for a tiny little nostril flair. So awesome.

The ep was directed by the stunt coordinator. His first time directing. I too thought the handheld camera work in the fight between the rail cars was odd. I almost never notice stunt doubles unless I look for them. Things moving fast I just don't notice it.

He is just killing it as Damien Darhk. I don't think even Malcolm Merlyn is as gleefully evil as Darhk is.
