Mexal Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I'm hoping that the step dad(can't remember his name) doesn't end up a casuality. I have liked that actor ever since he was in the Resident Evil movie.Walter has been written off for the time being as he is doing Strictly Come Dancing in the UK. That's why he went to Melbourne.

Fiddler Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Walter has been written off for the time being as he is doing Strictly Come Dancing in the UK. That's why he went to Melbourne.Well, hopefully he will be back and not just killed "off camera".I dont' know what it was about his character in Resident Evil, but since then I have really liked him.

Bastard of Boston Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Intriguing how they're turning Walter into a sympathetic character. I assumed, given his new role in Ollie's life, that he'd play the predictable type of stepfather, corrupting Ollie's mother. It appears she's the corrupt parent...though, it's apparently due to her being in some type of complicated predicament with shadier people than her. Good stuff.

Black Wolf Smith Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 This show isn't just a good CW show, its great TV. I almost wish it were on HBO so the take it to the next level with L/V/N. Again I can't believe how much I love it. The way the use the flashbacks to help both the main plot, and the overall story is great. Its not like that NBC Revon lution show, whose flashbacks scenes almost invalided each other( or like the make it as the go, with no plan what so ever) Another very good ep. Clearly shows the step-father isn't with the bad guys, it is just the mother. As predicted, Dig infact take the spot light off of Oliver. In fact that was Olivers plan, and he had set it up that way. It also allowed Oliver a chance to work on the relationships he has with the other major characters in his life. He got to tell both Lances that he blames himself for the other daughters death. He and Digs defined how they will work together. He and Laurel got close, but it won't work. His mother, seemed to care about him. His sister, knows somethings up. Great TV.

MisterOJ Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I thought this week's episode was good.One minor gripe though: When "The Hood" shows up elsewhere while Ollie is under house arrest, why do they all automatically jump to the conclusion of, "OH! It can't be you then!" Why does no one say, "Hold on a second, you know he could be working with a group and not alone, right?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't prove he's working with someone else and so the cops can't hold him when he has a clear alibi. If they had more evidence other than just a video and coincidences then maybe they could jump to that conclusion but it's not logical without.

Prince Rhaegar Targaryen Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, too. The original case wasn't exactly strong to begin with - that was my only problem with this episode, too much drama by the family and Laurel, the case really wasn't that strong, or did I miss something important? He even was only arrested because Det. Lance was on a private vendetta without consulting any judges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastard of Boston Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Yeah, I also didn't like how eager Laurel was to have Ollie accept a plea bargain. Wasn't she defending him because she was positive he wasn't a killer? In that moment, she seemed more like someone who took the job as a job and not someone who clearly has personal attachment to Ollie's innocence/guilt. And, really, that was the only reason she agreed to represent him.Also, what were they promising him? A brief stay in a mental institution? I might not be remembering it correctly, but that seems a little lax when someone is being tried for murder. Then again, I'm not an expert on law. I like this show a lot, but there are still moments that make me cringe a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungGriff the Conqueror Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Wasn't sure whether to spoiler it...next episode... Spoiler Next episode will be featuring 'The Royal Flush Gang' and the Huntress (I think?) from the comics instead of the usual person of interest from the list. Haven't read the comics but looking at wikipedia they sound awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrddin Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 I didn't notice but when he took off his shirt for Laurel, did he have the Russian tattoo?Yes. The flower symbol over his heart.As for people wondering how he had a new (poorly inked) tattoo, well I know if I'm stuck on a deserted island, I'd get bored enough to try anything.Let's sharpen this lil bamboo shoot. Ok, now let's take this berry juice. Now let's tap this painfully into my skin a few hundred times. Prison Island Ink, baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Reek Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Another good episode. So glad that they finally got rid of the narration!!Liked how they mixed it up so it was a different scenario than something from the book. Royal Flush Gang was great too.I wonder if Diggles will ever get a suit?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
