Not even looking forward to it tbh. Laurel won't make it out of the episode looking good sadly.

^Judging by your comments, you seem to not be a fan of this "the others cannot do anything well/right without Oliver around to hold their hands" notion that the show has been pushing. Am I right about that?

 

[Primal Slayer]

Of course I like my characters to be able to bail themselves out at times. But this storyline just could've been so much more powerful where they could've made Laurel be the one who saves Sara after DD or Malcolm force Sara back to life instead of having Laurel be the one to do it. I understand her motivation but I hate her being the one to bring Sara back and then needing Oliver to step in a save the situation with his connections.

 

[ThePreface]

I agree. Darhk Canary (see whut I did thur?) would've been a cool mini-arc and would've presented a decent challenge to TA for the first quarter of the season.

Would've explained why Lance is Darhk's insider. To keep him coerced (after Sarah got her memory back) Darhk could figure out that Laurel is the other Canary and would use that against Lance. Constantine's cameo would make more sense as he'd be the one to 'wake her soul up' with the help of Laurel. And Sarah and her ghosts kicking the [censored] out of TA for 5 episodes would've been hella entertaining.

 

[Nathan]

They just keep wasting good story lines. =/

Took a few tries before it really stuck but I just finished season 1. Great show. Is there a proper viewing order for this and Flash?

 

[gohei_]

Season 1 is the best if you ask me.
Start with The FLash once you've completed Arrow season 2 and alternate show each episode, starting with Flash s1e1 --> arrow s3e1 --> flash s1e2 and so forth. I think that's how the shows air on tv.

Watching Flash season 1 with Arrow season 2 won't match up since Barry first appears in Arrow season 2 episode 8.

Proper order would be Flash S1E1 --> Arrow S3E1 --> Flash S1E2 etc.

 

[gohei_]

Oh yeah, my bad.

That seems simple enough then. Sometimes this stuff is jumbled all to hell.

 

[Batsfan1]

Laurel gives diggle crap for keeping secrets, then sneaks off with Thea to digs up Sarah's corpes? Okay then.

She gave Diggle a talk about them keeping secrets from eachother, not from Oliver.

God bless you! God bless everyone in your life!

Except that people don't know about the whole "killing spree" thing. It's incredibly dumb that they don't, but that's what the show is pushing. To most of the GP, he's been falsely accused of being a murdering vigilante TWICE now, by the same obsessed cop no less.

lol I know. but they don't allow for any smart detectives other then Lance who goes after the wrong person at the wrong and worst times too often. and with how some of the crazyness has happen there you'd think federal agancy's would be more involved by now with the amount of normal cops star city has lost or with the mass murder's and cereal killing prior to that.

Darkh bringing Sara back makes very little sense, imo.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Laurel (Katie Cassidy) may have decided to bring her sister Sara (Caity Lotz) back from the dead on Arrow, but she can't bring back her sister's humanity.
As seen in Wednesday's episode, the Lazarus Pit has already begun to have serious effects on Thea (Willa Holland), who was only briefly dead before her resurrection. And since Sara has been dead for months, that means the Pit's influence on her will be far worse, something she will continue to deal with when she joins the spin-off Legends of Tomorrow in 2016.
Catch up on all this week's Mega Buzz
"Her story is really a simple one. It's her trying to regain her humanity, trying to find a human connection," Legends showrunner Phil Klemmer says. "It's kind of this paradox that she's selected for the team because she's this ruthless, cold-blooded assassin and what she really wants is to feel again. And these two things are at odds."

This is not going to make Laurel a popular character unless we find out Sara's soul was in hell or something.

Arrow's John Barrowman Previews Malcolm's 'Bizarre' Dilemma and a 'Jaw-Dropping' Nanda Parbat Twist

 

[Kar]

I REALLY think its creepy Laurel is dragging around a decayed corpse. Bad enough she's already wearing her dead sister's clothes.

It'd be cool to get an episode focusing on the psychological side of putting on a costume, maybe some mind-bending metahuman attacks?

 

[Primal Slayer]

I guess it's good she isn't wearing her sisters clothes.

 

[Kar]

I thought she was wearing Sara's jacket zipped up?

 

[Primal Slayer]

The jacket exists in a void. Sara gave Laurel the jacket when she left town then she shows up suddenly with it on again then she dies and we see both of them wearing it.

 

[Paradox1]

I guess Sara had more than one jacket.

 

[SpideyVille]

It doesn't bother me too much, again, because this is the same show that had 15 Arrow copy suits in an episode that were bought/made/used by the villian. But it just seems weird when they say Laurel is wearing Sara's jacket, or Thea is wearing Roy's when they're clearly not the same. In style yes, but not at all in design.

 

[Kar]

The jacket exists in a void. Sara gave Laurel the jacket when she left town then she shows up suddenly with it on again then she dies and we see both of them wearing it.

Ah you're right.
