Now the flashbacks are just... eh, Oliver and the Asian guy go somewhere, Oliver is timid now for some reason, and Waller gives them shit for not being tough enough. Over and over. this does feel like filler, i do believe maseo is a good character but there's too much focus on a non-relevant. ra-al ghul or however you spell it is very interesting but the build up to his identity and importance was very badly done. it was no where close to the same buildup that slade and deathstroke had. i don't read the comic because i do enjoy the show far too much to read ahead, but i can't forsee any huge impact of either arrow beating RA. | ||

Then suddenly Arrow ends up having a deathmatch with him. In fairness to the build up, Oliver got his ass whipped and for Ras to turn the duel down would show weakness. Its better to accept the duel, obliterate the challenger to show your strength then it is to say "no your not worth my time". I can't picture a world where Oliver defeats the League. Batman has never been able to do it. So I wonder how Oliver will shake them off. Also, saw the trailer for the next episode. Are those the police that are running with the vigilantes in the street? I couldn't really tell. The episode looks hella cool!!! | ||

Also Oliver's return was dealt with way too quickly, at least he didn't do any fighting or anything considering he could barely walk. He still recovered amazingly quickly considering he was impaled and thrown off a cliff, good thing there was some magic herbs around.... I hope they don't just leave it at that. | ||

This is what shall come to pass: The student will defeat the Master. But it wont be Merlin, he will die. It wont be Oliver. It will be Thea. | ||

I hope they don't kill off Merlin, he's one of the more interesting characters around. Also why was Diggle not in the field in those last few episodes? That was really annoying, his character doesn't seem properly used. | ||

Like Diggle has not been using a mask for 3 seasons. Anyone with animal level of intelligence would have figured out Oliver is Arrow by now only with that clue. | ||

It's hard to remember that Thea doesn't know Oliver is the Arrow, it's like eeeeveryone else in the town knows. | ||

I guess it could mean thea too. | ||

also i wouldn't expect great plot writing as we get deeper into the series. CW is great on portraying the emotional parts of it and inkling in relationship stuff, as far as plot progression goes it is generally the same for all their other shows which is to have 23 episode seasons. so you're going to have alot of space to fill in. season 1 and 2 were pretty much jam packed with action and pure plot content cause it was essentially an introduction of all the characters and then the transition to who is the current antagonist. but even in season 1 and 2 you had really corny villians to say the least. carrie cutter, copy cat archers, deadshot, and these drug lord villians. i was really surprised when the waller arch didn't transition to the triad chinese lady and more so skimped over it and introduced maseo i'm guessing the arrow needs more allys to find those guys apparently. | ||

too many of these nice-guy super heroes is really killing the show for me, it doesn't help that random super-villians are also just as corny and cliche like. i guess the script writers can't help it, it's either build up laurel by beating filler bad guys or risk the illogical path and have her become pro in 1 day. i am really dying for a good villian soon, cause this oliver doesn't die shit isn't going to work again. edit: finished episode. looks like arrow is on the right path in transitioning. i'm more interested now that thea and laurel are the primary focus of the next intensive training, and on none other than the island! slade is gonna love himself some thea that's for sure. | ||

Yeah that was a tad weird. Roy saw Thea with that dude who looked like Jay in earlier episodes and should have known that he was DJing for the club but suddenly he decides to suit up and go creeping behind her door and Merlyn also marches in fully geared up >_< | ||
