Arrow gave us a lot of things we wanted to see last week, and also a bunch of Laurel. And tonight it looks like we get to see what super-strong Roy can do. Here’s what happened last week, and what to expect tonight.
Last episode…
- Laurel finally got what was coming to her as she was arrested for her pill-head tendencies. The show also revealed she’d been stealing her father’s drugs, and gave Paul Blackthorne a great moment where he gets to essentially say to Laurel what the audience has been thinking for months.
- The show tried to make us worried about Roy and his rage-case tendencies. The problem being that the near-murder they took so seriously was, of, uh, a guy who’d been torturing and murdering prostitutes. So the whole “Oh, Roy, you could have killed someone” drama fell a bit flat.
- Brother Blood framed someone else for his crimes, so currently everybody thinks he’s a nice guy again.
- And on Flashback Island, Sara breaks ties with Ivo in about the dumbest way possible, but at least she’s twigged to the guy torturing people in cells on a boat maaaaaaay be a bit psycho.
- Also, we finally saw us some Deathstroke.
This episode sees the return of Bronze Tiger, and seems to have a few hints for the upcoming Suicide Squad episode, the return of Walter Steel, and the arrival of Nicholas Lea, aka Agent Krycek from The X-Files, as the oddly generically named “Mark Francis.” Here’s a trailer!
The shenanigans start tonight at 8pm EST. Come hang with us as we laugh at Laurel’s pain and root for Michael Jai White to kick some ass.
I GOT IT!!
Moira Queen looks like Lisa from Team America.
This episode was mostly set-up, but I think the next run is going to be great. You’ve got pissed-off Slade, the whole Roy plotline is tied up, Sara’s here to beat Laurel into shape, and there’s the Suicide Squad coming. All in all, I’m happy.
Slow episode, but the payoff will be worth it.
Good episode. Needed less Laurel and more Slade, but Bronze Tiger picked up the slack. I’ll be out of town next week so I won’t be here. Pour some liquor out for me & my homies.
We can’t get Raysh or Talia, so we get this Al Ghul that no one has ever heard of.
Who says that Ra’s won’t show up at some point in the series?
Well I guess we’re getting that campaign. Don’t get me wrong, I guess (I GUESS) they could play off people having sympathy for Moira due to her having been a pawn and having been acquitted, but still…
And by chair I meant electric chair.
Yeah I think she wouldn’t have been a slam dunk for the chair but office? No.
I’m betting Moira knows something’s up and is trying to lure Malcolm out of hiding.
Show certainly ending on a high note
Definitely.
Nothing sobers you up like a dead sister
From amazing to Laurel in under 5 seconds, but I guess having Sara makes it somewhat ok
Next episode opens, Sara’s pulling a Roid on Laurel. “Listen! To! Your! Dad! You! Dolt!”
Squad?
Squad!
I don’t think anyone would join if she mentioned the “suicide” part.
Up?
“Team Arrow” is awesome.
YESSSSSSSSSSSS
They should have a story line about how the real Waller was sending out an assistant to do field work and reveal that CCH Pounder is the real Amanda Waller.
Me too. But SUICIDE SQUAD!
Still disappointed in the choice of actress.
Damn I was wrong lol Suicide Squad not HIVE
“Singular qualifications?” Getting beaten up?
Are they really doing this?
Skeleton in the closet? She has a graveyard on her front lawn for everyone to see.
Kill Gill.
Good lord…
I think Moira is testing Steel, here.
You know, a missile launcher could be useful in sending signals and things of that nature?
So Thea had better never dump Roy or we’ve got a problem.
Thea, if you ever dump me I will seriously kill everyone.
Then I might St. Walker.
met not might, bah!
Felicity knows sports terms?! Bae…
Felicity is always adorable.
Indeed.
But Brion Markov was the scientist who built the machine and he’s dead…I guess the bomb is supposed to be Geo-Force?
Slade was supposed to be dead too.
Meanwhile Bronze Tiger is roasting on a open fire.
Bringing up Slade son I think it ends with HIVE
he’s just trying to justify the “bronze” in his name
Nah, they’re totally ending this episode with Amanda Waller.
Roy, Red Arrow. Roid Arrow. Now seems like Robin Arrow.
David Ramsey confirmed to me that Diggle gets to kick more ass this season.
but he isnt even the “green arrow” yet so hes just going to be “Arrow,too”?
I just feel bad for Diggle. Dude only gets to stand around looking at computer screens.
“Hey, wait a minute. You shot me!”
What, the arrow could not blow the thing open itself?
Probably sensitive electronics take explosions differently from solid steel.
Thats my favorite launching of an explosive arrow.
Little dab’ll do ya.
Dark knight music
Well now
WELL I HOPE BRONZE TIGER IS OUT COLD, OLLIE.
With Roy’s strength, Bronze Tiger would be lucky if his skull isn’t caved in
Where were those arrows before?
Do the creep Roy, and do the creep.
They still have 3 and a half years on the island. I wonder how much longer they are going to go before Slade gets his eye shot out.
I’m guessing at the end of the season and then he “washes away.”
He should have lost his eye from a BB gun.
I can’t wait for wait apple to quote walden in an effort to promote connectivity
Slade can appear in the past or in the present storyline, but never both.
It’s probably a logistical issue.
That has to hurt. No more insane pull-ups.
Heh, Markovia.
Well, Slade is evil.
And Terra was like 13-15 at the time which was beyond disturbing.
Does this mean we’ll get to see terra! And maybe some form of teen titans
You are correct!
And his sister was Terra who was banging Slade in the comics if I’m not mistaken.
It’s where the character Geo-Force is from, he’s the king.
I assume that has some comic significance?
What? People will get over that? WHAT AM I LISTENING TO?
Thea being a moron.
PEOPLE WILL GET OVER THAT!!!!!!
“…Because you think you destroyed the city.” WHICH SHE DID.
What did that guy take? Also do you think Ollie called Quentin or Sara?
Sara
Probably Sara, we’re coming up on sweeps.
So they just had a missile launcher sitting around.
It’s the missile launcher Fyers was gonna use on the airliner in S1. (I’m next-daying these posts now because the mobile commenting still doesn’t work)
It is the island from Revenge of the Nerds 2.
Oh shit, Sara showing up for Laurel?
yep
Wait, Thea is recently registered to vote, yet she can run a bar?
As long as she doesn’t drink, it might be legal.
My names laural and I don’t have a problem it’s everyone else’s fault
Classic addict.
Felicity needs to be allowed to deck Laurel.
agreed
That would almost save this episode.
I’m hiding my drinking problem, I’ll get drunk at the bar owned by a family a know.
In public. Where there are lots of cameras.
Wow, drinking at your ex-boyfriend’s bar. That’s not a cry for help.
Ugh
I’m smelling a theme here.
Momma Queen is going to get caught on tape saying 47% of the people will never vote for her because they were almost killed by an earthquake machine.
