Make Diggle Green Lantern and you've got yourself a Justice League!!

What if Diggle's real full name was John Diggle Stewart? Will Lyla go by the name Harbinger?

If the Justice League or Justice Society is to be formed in the TV universe, I can see Felicity Smoak, Diggle, Cisqo Ramon, Caitlin Smoak, and Harrison Wells as the League support staff.

I didn't notice Laurel figuring out Barry's I.D. She had like one line the whole show and I don't remember what it was.

Oliver told Laurel & dad that Barry was from Central City. Then she talked 2 Oliver privately & said how she heard that the Arrow was in Central City the previous week. She clearly put two & two together with Barry

Unless Cisco Ramon (the creative one) get's chosen first

Didn't seem that clear to me. Sounds like people jumping to conclusions.But,whatever the case,Laurel's going to be BC,so it's only a matter of time til she was privy to the secret.


I thought Barry coming back to the lair maskless in front of lyla was pretty funny.

"They are married I thought he told her"

"I keep secrets for a living"

(something like that)

Was funny

This episode was AMAZING!!!!!! I LOVED this crossover! Here's my review if you want to check it out, I tried to spell out everything that was amazing from it in there. Don't want to bore you here with it.

Hopefully her and Merlyn's plot pick back up again soon.

EP Marc Guggenheim saying, “There’s a lot of Thea and Felicity coming in the back half of the season. They’ll be sharing quite a bit of screen time in 2015, and it’s very interesting.”

First off,the usual weakness in a team-up (as evidenced by the Flash side of the two parter) is the villain being just a means to an end.But Captain Boomerang really brought it.I don't know that he had more screentime than Prism,but he made a bigger impression.

Yeah, I didn't get the impression the Rainbow Raider (his actual real name) was the "villain" of Tuesday's episode. In my view, it was Flash's anger. He was just a plot device to set up the fight between them. That was the fight that mattered. This is illustrated with the fact that, once it was resolved, they quickly captured Bivalo without even bothering to show how.

The flashbacks were nothing special (as usual) but they tied into the story proper better than they have most of this season.I don't like this implication that Waller was responsible for Ollie being ruthless.I prefer to think he learned a "kill or be killed" mentality on the island,not that he was taught to torture/assassinate by Waller.

I'm OK with that. To me, the hellish island isn't just an island, it's a whole range of experiences. It's been clear for a long time that he wasn't on the island the whole time. He didn't become the way he did hunting for boar. Having someone experienced and ruthless like Waller makes a lot of sense to push him farther along his path.

It's always jumping to a conclusion until it is finally confirmed, but seemed to me she thinks he is the Flash.

 

[kguillou]

I will say one thing, eventhough as a whole I'm really digging season 3, these China flashbacks REALLY need to start going somewhere interesting because they seem pretty irrelevant so far. I find myself less interested with each passing episode. Even before Slade Wilson became a factor on the island, those flashbacks were always compelling and had a cool mystery to it. The China flashbacks...I dunno...where are they going with all this?

 

[The Caped Knight]

Captain Boomerang is a Flash villain, not Arrow's so I hope he is seen in Central City in future episodes. heck he better be apart of the Rogues (Captain Cold, Mirror Master, heat wave, Weather Wizard, Trickster, etc&#8230

The good thing about Boomerang is that he's equally important to Suicide Squad and the Rogues. So he'll be able to bounce between both shows. But hell yes to all the characters you mentioned there teaming up.

couldn't Flash simply have taken all the bombs to one safe place and cut all 5 wires at the same time (or just let them explode out in the open) easier than running back and forth from the cave and to each spot?

 

[Sterling Archer]

Glad the new jacket finally got rid of the pockets. There are only a few subtle changes, but's it's nice to see some evolution.

Na, it was better and cooler the way they did it. Plus it was stated that he couldn't remove the bombs from their positions.

Arrow once again proving to be the superior show.

Just because this week's episode of Arrow was, admittedly, superior to this week's The Flash episode, it doesn't mean the overall quality of the former is greater than the latter.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

i love FLASH really i do, but i totally dig that this is the more somber" serious" of the shows! i think they totally compliment each other! the scene of the bomb going off and Ollie getting blame with the blood oh his hands cause he lacked conviction was some deep ass ^&!i alsi love Waller's "i thought that you would like another " stab" at it!"
oh and freaking bring everybody to cut the bomb at the same was some ingenious cool clever ass crap!both shows are rocking man

I really liked this one, like the season is finally really feeling good (haven't been loving it). Hopefully the Ra's encounter next week keeps building on this.

The flashbacks were nothing special (as usual) but they tied into the story proper better than they have most of this season.I don't like this implication that Waller was responsible for Ollie being ruthless.I prefer to think he learned a "kill or be killed" mentality on the island,not that he was taught to torture/assassinate by Waller.

I dunno, I think it would be fair to say that he did learn a "kill or be killed" mentality on the island. Like Waller and the bomber (probably the bomber *looks suspiciously at Waller*) said, Ollie was already a killer, but torture is a whole other thing. He's learning something darker, something you don't just do unless you're psychotic.

NB. As much as I like the concept of the flashbacks, I'm not in love with the execution.

 

[antsman41]

Damn, that was awesome.

Flash was more fun, better action... but Arrow brought more heart, and growth for this friendship and team.

Can't ask for better representations of superheroes in television or films.

Loved the interactions, world building, and overall excitement this one-two series punch we've got going.

Anyone else notice that Barry's stature has gotten stronger since last season and his pilot?

My favorite parts of this week was the Arrow/Flash fight last night and the Ollie/Barry heart to heart in the Arrowcave tonight.
