Let’s Liveblog Wednesday’s Geeky TV: ‘Arrow’ Has A Meg Episode

As I’ve noted elsewhere, even though her character has improved substantially from the early days, Laurel is still the Meg of Arrow. So buckle up, because this time it’s not only a Laurel episode, it’s a Laurel episode with zombies!

Last episode, Laurel and Thea, the bad idea twins, decided to truck Sara’s corpse back to nearby Nanda Parbat and give it a dunk in the Lazarus Pit. I’ll remind you they did this after Thea quizzed her father about her raging bloodlust and he told her she was going to have to commit murder for the rest of her life. Anyway, shockingly, Sara came back wrong out of the pit, and Laurel, being a responsible adult, uh… locked her up in a basement somewhere, from the looks of things.

On the one hand, it’s great to have Sara back, because she was certainly one of the best things about the show in its second season. On the other, both Flash and Arrow are now busy hyping a midseason premiere in the form of Legends of Tomorrow. Also, the show hinted that Ray Palmer was running around inside Felicity’s phone and we need to see more of Ollie’s mayoral campaign, which had better be a major subplot of this episode.

We’ll start mocking Laurel’s poor decision-making skills tonight at 8 p.m. EST. Join us, won’t you?
