Do they have different writing teams for each episode, one that writes the main story (which is great) and one that gathers every teenage drama trope and does the sub plots? I mean my god the Thea story is awfully cliché and the mother story is so uninteresting I'd rather be watching paint dry.

I actually kind of liked the mother's trial story.

Unless it's with Diggs.

I really don't want her to hook up with Diggs, I like her and Ollie, one of the few romance side stories I actually care to see develop.

Also, I knew Laurel looked super familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it. I had no idea she was Ruby.

An IT girl's dream...

Felicity Smoak was working furiously on her computer trying to make sure all of Queen Consolidated networks were maintained when suddenly her phone rang. She put it on speaker phone so she could have her hands free to continue working.
“IT department, Felicity speaking.” She continued typing away.
“Ms. Smoak, I need your help upstairs.” It was Walter Steele, her boss.
“Sure thing boss…I mean, yes sir, right away.” She got up right away and headed up to the top floor.
She was in Mr. Steele’s office in less than two minutes. Walter was situated behind his desk looking at his Lenovo All in One with Windows 8. The computers were brand new so she was curious what the issue could be.
“Ah, Ms. Smaok I seem to have no internet access.” He looked at her and got up and offered her his chair.
“Oh there’s no need to sit this will only take a second.” She approached his desk and turned the computer towards her. She leaned over the desk to reach for the keyboard when she noticed Walter staring at her two Smoak Stacks. She didn’t say a word just continued to work, she thought maybe it was nothing. Felicity pressed some buttons and the internet was back and running.
“All fixed Mr. Steele.” She turned to leave.
Walter called after before she reached the door. “Ms. Smoak , I have another issue that needs some…handling.” He smiled at her as she turned around and walked back to his desk.
“Sure what can I help you with?” She was nervous as he walked over to her and stood behind her. He started stroking her hair.
“Moira hasn’t been home lately and a man has needs…” he said this as he placed his hands on her shoulder. He suddenly turned her around. “You know my nickname?” Walter said.
“No, can’t say I do,” she did not know where this was going.
“They call me Big Daddy Steele. You know why?” He smiled as he finished saying that.
“Is it due to your large stature?” Felicity said. It was true though, Walter was a tall man.
“No. It has nothing to do with stature, but with my girth. “ Walter said with a smile. “Let me show you.” He showed her his girth.
It made Felicity feel things. No longer was she scared. She wanted him. Walter kissed Felicity softly and then with a sudden force that was a surprise to the both of them.
“You’ve been a naughty IT girl haven’t you?” Walter said playfully.
“Yes, I must be punished for my mistakes.” She played along giggling. Walter suddenly picked her up and placed her on the table as they made love. Walter made Felicity feel things she never felt before. Walter took her Smoak Stacks in hand and looked into Felicity’s eyes and proclaimed his love for her.
“Walter, leave Moira.” Felicity whispered in his ear.

Ok so finally caught up.

To be honest I thought this episode was going to be a little boring, just the trial stuff, secret comes out, blah blah blah. I really should know better by now with this show.

So here's my points.

Nice to see the Dollmaker, good continuity there.

Was it just me or did anyone else notice that when the Count stabbed that first guy with Vertigo, he said OW a fraction too late?

Slade's face looking very Deathstroke, nice touch.

I think I was the only one who thought Roy taking those punches was kinda hot.

I really love the Count. Camper than Barrowman but in a good way.

The DA's trump card of Moira having an affair was pretty obvious and a bit of an anti-climax.

Laurel is looking even pointier each week.

Really glad Ollie killed a bad guy when someone he cares about was threatened - this is why he's better than Batman. Not happy it was the Count he had to kill though, gonna miss him :(

Those Olicity moments were just too sweet, the way he shot those 3 arrows into the Count shows he wasn't just killing him to protect her, he reeeeally wanted to kill him for even daring to threaten her, definitely shows Ollie's feelings for Felicity are strong. I don't care what anyone else says, I want some action happening between them soon.

Not guilty verdict was a surprise, knew something was up with that.

Slade getting the serum indicated, yay!

And finally holy fucking shit at that ending. Malcolm coming back from the dead wasn't too much of a surprise, ever since Ra's was mentioned I was sort of expecting it, I'm totally on the Lazarus Pit idea. But Thea being his daughter?? That I was not expecting. Did Moira know all along? Is that what she was worried would come out? Cause the affair thing was kinda lame.

So no ep next week, am I right? Damn. No patience.

What kind of hoodoo did they teach Malcom Merlyn in Nanda Parbat? Faking your own death? Awesome!!!:O

Lazarus Pit probably had nothing to do with it, he said he was trained in places where he learned "special skills", or something like that.

I thought the Thea/Malcom relation was obvious as soon as the Moira/Malcom affair was mentioned. But one thing I love about this show is that they didn't drag it out, they confirmed it before the episode ended which wasn't even 5 minutes later.

I assumed he did the same thing Ollie did, where he simulated death then woke up later or something.

Now that the Arrow-Flash back door pilot is it's very own real Flash pilot, I'm kinda disappointed that the Flash isn't going to be on Arrow. Oliver better guest star, I wanted the Arrow to be like "Geez your fast!!"

I think they are setting up the lazarus pit, remember Ollie swore that he watched Sarah die, if not the first time, the supposed "second time" for sure. Malcolm's "death is an illusion" and us also watching him die points more towards that as well. We have two people both connected to the League of Assassins that were thought to be 100% dead magically coming back and I think that's blatant foreshadowing of the Lazarus pit. We'll see though.

I hope they go there. My original theory about the island this season was that it housed a Lazarus Pit, but I am questioning that now. But that doesn't mean that I dont think they wont throw the Lazarus Pit at us at some point. Too many things pointing to it.

He will definitely still say something like that. No point having Barry Allen without speed jokes

Now just imagine this scene, but with Felicity instead of Hawkgirl.

Considering that they are
setting them up for a romantic interest
a more personal variation on that joke would be even funnier, especially after a fall-out between the two.

Ollie: Well that was quick
Felicity: Fastest Man Alive... **glances back at flash**
Flash: **Winks & Brushes Knuckles on chest**
Felicity: ...In the bedroom and in the streets
Ollie: ^o^
Diggle: **giggles**

WHO THE FUCK was that at 39sec mark?
TOMMY!!! Hallucination? Memory?
:O

Dec 11th episode is called "Three Ghosts"...

IMO, I think that scene
"Get up Oliver"
will be the scene when Oli will wear his mask for the first time.

Well I've finally caught up with this show, from start to present, and it's great stuff. Everything I'd want from a network superhero show (and such a gigantic leap in acting/plotting/writing/structure over Smallville it would make your head spin).

But a question, they are surely setting up an actual Oliver/Felicity romance this season so far? Because if they aren't, and if they're trying to do a one-sided or platonic deal, they're failing miserably.

And I know Laurel is meant to be the one true love blah blah, and she's the Green Arrow's canon love interest, but hell, he's not the Green Arrow yet, so there's no reason he can't have a relationship before that one. This is a problem Smallville ran into and pretty much destroyed the show (obviously this is not as major in Arrow, just a point of contention), where they wouldn't deviate from Clark Kent's canon love interests for even a second (Lana I-am-the-John-Cena-of-the-DC-Universe Lang and Lois Lane), even though it was incredibly forced and unbelievable that he wouldn't, and it made no sense given how they wrote it.

I would hope Arrow doesn't fall into the same trap, because good god do Oliver and Laurel have nothing going on there.

I genuinely want Wozzly to write an episode for this show, and for the actors to film it. I will do direction and cinematography for free if CW allows this.

I think it would be amazing, but, I imagine it would make the actors extremely uncomfortable.

Honestly I'd settle for a low budget porn parody, they wouldn't even have to come up with a clever name for it, "Arrow" works fine.

I'd be so down for this too. I call director! And cinematographer!

Wait, what porn stars would play who? Wozzly must write it.

Tread lightly.

I watch this episode several days later and all I find here is spoiler tags! Is this all about the Flash, or is it the returned Malcolm Merlyn?
