Arrow: The Green Arrow TV show

The mother needs to get kicked down a flight of stairs and shot. She coaxes the Chinese man into helping her out and then set him up the moment their plan went pear shaped. Disgusting.

Nah, I can remember him and Diggle eye balling her when she glammed up.

If she hadn’t, Merlyn would’ve ran a train through the entire Queen family which means Walter, Thea and Ollie are dead (unless Ollie blows his cover and even then Merlyn thrashed him once already).

In reality, her crime is joining that damn organization in the first place.

I think Ollie can thrash Merlyn back. If anything Merlyn pretty much caught Ollie off guard and Ollie wasn’t expecting someone to be just as good as he is.

I wonder where Merlyn got his training and if the writers have the balls to follow the League of Assassins angle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanda_Parbat).

While it’s possible…it also involves blowing his cover as well.

How does it involve blowing his cover? They can fight with their hoods on…

If this series lasts 3+, I wonder how long they’ll do the island flashbacks. Anybody else getting tired of them? I just want to see when/where he gets his training. The rest of the island story line I don’t care about. Who really cares about that missile launcher?

I remember that too. But I think it’s more of an innocent surprise rather than him being attracted to her. Felicity and Ollie love interest is probably in the back of the writer’s mind, but you know he’ll probably sleep with a lot of other girls before that. It’ll be a minor arc, not a big love interest to threaten Ollie+Laurel.

Because like I said, Merlyn would be coming after their entire family almost immediately after killing Moira. Ollie probably wouldn’t even have a chance to go hood up and come back and save Thea’s ass. He’d just bumrush the home and take names. And if Ollie isn’t able to kill Merlyn then Merlyn would get out likely knowing Ollie’s identity as the Vigilante and all hell would break loose.

As for the Island, Slade is already confirmed as a Series Regular for Season 2 so unless he decides to make an appearance in the present day we’re going to be seeing plenty of the island stuff next season. And it’s pretty obvious that a good amount of his CQC training comes from Slade. His Archery likely comes from Yao Fei so they’ll probably save his ass by the end of this season.

did i fast forward or sumtin…when the hell did he even get caught?

Mid-argument with Thea.

Well, I mean he moves pretty much exactly like Ollie does so there’s some sort of link. Not sure if it was on the island or revolves around the League and Nanda Parbat.

The flashbacks have the best scenes in the entire series…Slade is def the most badass character in the game…I’d even watch if they just had an episode that just focused on the island and what hijinks slade, oliver, yaofei go through.

lmfao if your tired of flashbacks with ninja fighting and pre-crazy slade…you need to quit life.

Since it’s flashbacks, we know Ollie doesn’t get off the island no matter what. Even if there’s a fueled jet with the keys in the ignition and an autopilot button heading towards Starling City. To me, it’s not even a “how is he going to get out of it this time!?” type of feeling because Slade or Yaofei is saving his ass left and right.

lol yeah, I keep waiting for him to actually learn how to do shit. All that time spent on the island and the first few years he is pretty much in charge of the radio, until he opens his mouth.

This episode was so bleh.

I’m pretty sure they’re still in Year 1.

I’ll be honest, if it weren’t for Slade I wouldn’t care about the island. I don’t care where Ollie got his skills.

lol no one cares about year 1 ollie. we wanna see evil ryu armbar people and australian wade be an asshole.

Like I said, don’t really care about the island. Just have Slade show up as Deathstroke, make some passable comment about how he escaped. The end, get back to the real shit.

i prefer to see more of slade kicking ollies ass. these niggas basically made ollie into a shonen anime character. training arc was reduced to 2 episodes.

The training arc isn’t over, Ollie still isn’t skilled at all other than with a pistol whip.

but it seems hes gettin off the island soon. its kinda weird, like did he get stuck on the other side of the island lost style? even though hes been tortured i dont think that makes up for all his scarring.

i have this weird suspicion its gonna be sumtin stupid like slade and him have a final fight to get the fuck off the island and suddenly he bankais in the battle lol.
