Tagganaro Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 What annoys me a bit is how forgiving everyone is of Oliver going around killing people. It's a little too convenient to write off every murdered henchman as a definitive bad guy.I wouldn't quite go so far. They kind of brought it up during Diggle's story about Afghanistan and Felicity's responses. Everyone of those criminal henchmen probably makes some sort of decision/choice to get them to where they are. That's contrasted heavily with Dig's story about the warlord. I think Dig sort of appreciates the clear battle lines here. Good vs. Evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Wolf Smith Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 What a great episode, 40 minutes on the island and stuff is beginning to really make sense, too. I loved it. I'll wait with posting details/spoilers untill some more people get to see it...I pretty much agree. I almost wish they would just do a full ep about the Island from time to time, and stop doing it as a back story ever week.Hell Yes.Loved this ep. Very little of the front story, gets into a lot of the backstories. Answered a few questions, but brings in more.Speaking of which, did I see that right. Oli got the same shoulder tat, as The China man's daughter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Wolf Smith Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Still waiting to watch... the CW site seems to be unable to show this episode for me... the other episodes play, but this one freezes after the initial commercial.Had the same problem. I did not see it til about 3:00 am est today. I guess they got it fixed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oli got the same shoulder tat, as The China man's daughter?Not to be spoilish or anything, I just wanted to point out the China man's daughter is a character from the comics as far as I know. That suggests we will see a lot more of her. Then again the show has changed things up a lot as well from the comics, so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best one in a while. Glad to see Crixus Slade is going to stick around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again the show has changed things up a lot as well from the comics, so who knows.He specically called her, "Shado", who is a major Green Arrow player from the Mike Grell classic "Longbow Hunters" (Spoilers in the Link to the Story). They messed with her a little later on after Grell, but she's a significant part of the mythos. So we'll see where it goes...Heh, Myr... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Wolf Smith Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Yea, Green Arrow wasn't one of my fav, and I am really old so what this is based off was well below my radar. I reallly do like it. I think they have 1 maybe 2 filler ep's. They have changed things up on us a couple times( which I love, hate when I know everything that is going to happen on a show).

WillWork4NinjaPowers Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I wonder how they are going to do the Deathstroke stuff. So far, the wrong dude has lost an eye, right? Is there a Deathstroke that follows this storyline? I can't think of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tagganaro Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 yeah, maybe this is just me but I'm sort of beginning to get a Norman Bates vibe from Crixus and the Deathstroke mask. It's like they're 2 separate identities. There was a moment when he was just looking at the mask like he was afraid of it. It sort of fits with crazy schizophrenic Deathstroke from some of the comics lol but I don't know.Who are you talking about that lost an eye? Deadshot, when Ollie shot him through the eye? I think even in the comics he had like an electronic eye so that makes sense. But yeah you're right that Deathstroke also has an eye to lose :cool4: . I'm guessing Ollie will be somewhat responsible which turns him against him. Thanks for link Jaxom and Myrddin. Perhaps you know more about Deadshot v. Deathstroke and whether their stories match up at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of one.The whole "two Deathstrokes" is an interesting twist...not sure I like it...I'm expecting that we'll see Deathstroke (the proper one) show up as part of the big cliffhnager at the end of the season...you know, if there's a cliffhanger...Thanks for link Jaxom and Myrddin. Perhaps you know more about Deadshot v. Deathstroke and whether their stories match up at all.Two totally seperate characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexal Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I don't usually find blondes that attractive, but, yeah, here too.Also, in case anyone missed it, she was upgraded to a series regular in season 2 which I think is good. She brings some much needed humor to the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kungtotte Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 That's good news. Diggle and Ollie are both a bit too serious for their own good, and sometimes the show slips too much into "Serious Men Looking Serious While Talking About Serious Business"-territory.

Kobayashi Maru Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Felicity was my favorite from the beginning so this is only for the best. :)Plus I think she'll be "the moral one". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
