Maseo death was Japanese sacrifice like? right?

Maseo death was Japanese sacrifice like? right?

Sorta.

 

[SpideyVille]

Not really, he was totally going to kill her.

 

[Snow Queen]

The Iron Man fight was pretty solid, looking good for a TV show.

Urgh, can't stand any of this Oliver/Nyssa stuff. Can't say I expect the guy from the 1800s not to be homophobic and sexist and have some really messed up views but I just don't like that the writers made this a situation at all.

So, in summary: Nyssa and Katana Oliver/Nyssa stuff Everything else

 

[Arrowshieldfan]

I guess it parallels the flashback with Akio death that Maseo would die too.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Ray signing over his company was a bit over the top.

 

[vantheman77]

Now we know what Felicity will do in the fourth season if she survives the season finale.

 

[antsman41]

If Oliver only gets his company back through marriage to Felicity in the future, I will Hulk Smash.

Maybe she will renamed the company .

 

[Steyin]

I honestly think that this Katana costume looks better than the SS one.

 

[Silver Surfer]

"I can't believe he's gonna marry her"

B**** are you serious? You're trapped in a cell inside a death fortress, and are about to be killed and that's what you have to say?

I wish Malcolm had pimp slapped her and said "who gives a **** about that, we're about to die!!!"

Felicity needs to legit F off, every time she comes on screen I feel like punching the nearest wall.

 

[Arrowshieldfan]

what is Palmer reason for giving Felicity the company.....why her? she just a tech she can't run a company

Ollie and Nyssa: Man and wife!

Seriously,it's obvious the Omega wasn't in that vial.It's probably some sedative.

when there ain't no cure , there ain't no cure. And being stubborn won't help you or any one I hate it when people refuse to acknowledge there's isn't a cure stuff .

it's his kind it's understandable, but there's some stuff that can't be fixed which is why you should make sure some stuff shouldn't be allowed to happen like with diggle which I'll address below he needs to take precaution's now . it's really bothering me ow he's supposed to be the smart one. it's becoming hard to over look ( for me I like the guy but the writer take him down with that ) with the writers making him this way.

I'm glad they did the sensible thing and had the gang go "Who the heck is she?" Made little sense that they'd take the word of a total stranger. They really should've introduced her earlier this season.

I'm happy they addressed that. it's rare they address these thing's which I'll mention later with diggle below cause there's alot they need to address wit people he did excessive for to which would want payback want to know who he is to make sure he suffer cause they know his face . went over board did;t make sure to take prosecution more o him below

And Don't hear about carp like Argus he not doing what he should to protect his family cause he want's to be out in the field fighting showing the world who he is.

they're making seem stupid this way turning him in john sturt won't help a full ski mask dile wear oe if your gonna do that that really needs to be address now

Katana didn't disappoint. She looked great and Rila really gave a moving performance when it counted. I really wanted Maseo to redeem himself,but I wasn't really surprised at the outcome.

yeah well at least people won't complain about her motivation's is the same as everyone else for be coming katana even though she was suppose be avenging her husband death in this case she's the one that killed him cause he chose the worst path possible was stubborn.

Flashbacks were OK. You got a good sense of the desperation they were under.

yeah too but they didn't send the poor kid out of the city come to think of it I wonder how many kids died there that day be side the adult part's of the people there .

I was slightly disappointed with the Roy/Thea thing. I probably could've taken it had Roy kept the suit. I could at least take some comfort thinking Arsenal was still out there and could turn up in the show at any time. Now, he's just a poor slob on the run.

well he did have another costume besides red as arsenal

when both he night wing & him took on their names to move on past being side kick's / being called (Robin & Speedy ). but the writers here......

Ray was great as usual. His "little idea" for his suit...ho ho ho. Let's see it already! I guess these guys want to save it for the team up show? But,seriously get off the pot,guys. Let him shrink!

yeah Ray did very well but after last night's flash with Barry saying "we don't need Wells " all I can think about when Barry said that was wait til you have to pay the bill's for star labs to keep the place running that wells left you and cisco

with fake wells evil laughter

seriously I want Ray to head to star labs and run the business side of star labs now that well's is gone

it make sense & he has good chemistry with the cast Especially Cisco we won't have see cisco deal with the bills of that place or people doubting if he can run the place. it' won't make /stop cisco from being fun Ray need's to run star labs he fit's the place well and he's suppose to have a history with Ronnie/ fire storm any way as mentor too.

Nice to see Malcolm is as slimy as ever. Of all things this season,I've been disappointed in his turn as a "frenemy".

saw it coming. ad that word frenemy will never work for me. lol
.

I can understand Digg being upset with Ollie (particularly about leaving baby Sara alone,that's pretty unforgivable) but I hope they don't drag this out for long. They've been through too much together to separate now.

the thing is with the start of the episode where diggle was taking it all out on those street thugs ad he was mask-less yet again.

I' really hope there are consequence's for him I'm sorry they been doing this far too lo & it should have cost him. his mistake of showing his face to these criminal far too long

He's ticked oliver came to his home kid napped his wife & left his baby daughter with out any one to watch over her. yes this is understandable I would be too. but the problem that's not registering with him (and it really should ) is that all those people he repeated shows his face to that he sends to lock up or the hospital in this case with his excess use of force with tonight episode.

Those thugs will do this to him as if they are both ticked enough & smart enough and it'll be far worse the next time around cause they weren't friend of his and they never Ever had any honor to start with. people usually want revenge over what he did to them. this needs to be addressed with Diggle .

seriously wear a mask Diggle but again this is the writers fault.

we always say he has the most sense of all the characters yet they make him do stuff like this

ad some try to over look it ( I can't ay more it's becoming harder & harder to do so) which makes me cringe & that should 't happen from where I'm standing when it comes to him if he's the sensible one keep him that way I hate seeing screw like this with such a cool character & the avoid to address this issue out of lazyess or some other lame plot reason.

Anyway,great episode. Looks like the finish will be a doozy. Arrow's been pretty good at ending their season's on a high note thus far!

well it was more enjoyable then others prior so I liked it. I still had issues. (when I address them it doesn't mean I do't like the show over all ) just wish the focuse was better from the writers. as I just said but it way better this time around

I know I, and others, bang on this drum every week.... but enough with Felicity. Now that they've thoroughly ruined her original likeable on-screen personality and quirks, she (& Olicity) just drags the show down. Too much so. And yet another 'fanservice ad' thrown up on screen with Tatsuo telling Felicity to keep fighting for Oliver (and their twue wuv!).

Even though her character has been very likeable this season, I gotta say tptb are kinda throwing Laurel under the bus again. The lone person currently on the cast list - aside from Thea - who's known Oliver the longest, is just about the most staunch supporter of the belief that 'Oliver' is gone and it was all a lie to lure them in to a trap. I mean, really!? The woman who was the one person to (try to) convince everyone else that Oliver wasn't dead and would be back, back at midseason - when he went to duel Ra's to protect Thea. And now this? Just, no.


Aside from all that, a real solid season's penultimate episode. (the 'cliffhanger' was pretty weak, but they had to go with something)

 

[zenith16]

what is Palmer reason for giving Felicity the company.....why her? she just a tech she can't run a company

it's cause he made her his with aid his blind love . it's messing with him and the writers don't care for what should make sense with this show.


As I said I want him over at flash cause the business side of star labs should be a major issue now that Wells has left it.

that's something that needs to be address cause Cisco won't be fun if he has to deal with the paying the bills for that place And Ray ad him have good chemistry. Cisco is the creative side so Caitlin . it just won't on well they ain't ready they have too much on their plate there as it is.

Ray must go to star labs

 

[DCMarv37]

what is Palmer reason for giving Felicity the company.....why her? she just a tech she can't run a company

I'm sure it will work out that he signs it over to her, and she'll sign it over to Oliver (while staying the VP, or whatever she is now).

If, as someone speculated above, giving Oliver the company back is done only through her marrying Oliver... I just don't even have the words to describe how far off the deep end I'd go if that's how it plays out on my TV.

 

[zenith16]

which Oliver won't do a thing ceo wise like he did the club. Sadly. he'll dump all on her.

 

[catch22]

There are almost too many cringe worthy moments on this show to persist watching it. I'm using the fast-forward button way too often.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I just don't need to hear anyone else prop up Olicity. I feel like they've had everyone and they mommas do it this season. Especially 2 episodes back2back by Ra's and Katana was just a bit much. We get it writers.

 

[Arrowshieldfan]

I don't where people get this idea Oliver wil marry Felicity to get the company back....it much easier to sign a transfer of ownership....but the board will have to approve all this though. It won't be that easy

 

[Primal Slayer]

Like how easy it was for Ray to sign over the company to Felicity?

Honestly, it just wouldn't make sense for Felicity to give the company to Oliver which is probably why a lot of people think it will get renamed Queen by marriage.

 

[zenith16]

I don't where people get this idea Oliver wil marry Felicity to get the company back....it much easier to sign a transfer of ownership....but the board will have to approve all this though. It won't be that easy

the issue isn't even if she hands it over back to him it's will he ever really run it? lol we all know it's a no there.
he have someone else do it. cause the writers won't be bothered to have him run the place if at all. like the club.

also the city's crime even though he's out side of the city Right now. he won't allow him self to do it. they don't have to be married, but with these writers.... most of others are tripping / worried cause of their obsession with pushing Oliscitys. it's what's overly pushed as it's all that matter eve i the cell felicity was worryed about him bei married while they're trapped . what the hell ....... priortys woman

 

[DCnightwing23]

The Katana and Maseo scene near the end was heartbreaking and just amazing. One of the best, if not the best scene of the season. Heck, maybe even the series. So well done, with the flashbacks in the episode leading up to it.

 

[Herolee10]

I think this episode really highlighted the theme of Season 3:

"Good Ideas, but with Bad executions"

I actually enjoyed this episode and the action sequences were stellar to watch.

Be that as it may, the show suffers from its own logic and established rules.

If Oliver was faking Ra's all of this time, then that means that he knowingly killed the guy that was believed to be Diggs at the start of last week's episode.

Regardless of whether he knew he was drugged or not into seeing someone else be personified as Diggs before him, he knowingly killed someone.

And I doubt he knew that Ra's would never allow him to kill his own daughter.

Also, like others have said, Katanna should have been introduced in the present days to Team Arrow a lot sooner.

If I were to put the botched executions and poor logic leading up to this episode, then I would say that this episode was great overall.

Katanna should have gone with him to Starling to help fight against Brick and she should be the one to train him to fight with a sword.... do you like the Palmer scene where he come out of nowhere and destroy the plane.....it funny how many time his suit has been damage now
