Arrow Arrow Season 2 Episode 5 "League Of Assassins" Discussion Thread

[DrRocket]

Wow, that's awesome and way to go ollie!

 

[Loki882]

So death stroke is the ultimate assassin? Haven't read comic books in a while so in not sure.

Lady Shiva is almost always depicted as being the greatest ASSASSIN in the DC Universe, with Cheshire being second. Deathstroke is considered to be the greatest MERCENARY in the DCU, with a couple of characters vying for second place. DC likes to differentiate between assassin and mercenary.

 

[DrRocket]

I just remembered, wasnt the episode originally titled the demons head? If so maybe ras does make an appearance.

 

[DarkKnight FTW]

I've always seen Shiva classified as one of the world's greatest martial artists and trainer of Talia al Ghul but never as its greatest assassin, even though she's a high ranking member of LoA. I've never seen Cheshire ranked #2. Shiva's more believable because whenever there's talk about assassins its the usual suspects (Slade, Lawton, Shiva, Cain, etc.). Doesn't mean she isn't great though.

I hope we see something like this in Arrow if Oliver and Sarah team up to fight Slade.

 

[Human Torch]

Should we discount the two people who voted before the show even aired?

Maybe they work on the show!Amell,is that you?!?

From Stephen Amell's facebook:

Spoiler

29 hour warning!

 

[DrRocket]

^ was just about to post that, my hype is reaching nuclear levels.

 

[halo4able]

Check out the preview clip

Its awesome

 

[Mars452]

Am a bit upset that

Spoiler

Sara gets knocked out of the fight however briefly. At least she saves herself instead of some ******** Ollie rescuing her. I don't want any of that Judd Winick ******** here.

I mean, who is supposed to be the elite assassin here?

Well, if that person is supposed to be a top member within the League, then it wouldn't be surprising that he's got an edge on Sarah, especially if he's had years of training as opposed to Sarah who's probably had no more than 4 or 3 years worth under her belt.

 

[Ultra Nolanite]

haha, I didn't even notice Sara lying there until the Assassin kicked her in the head.

 

[Coconut1214]

From the advanced reviews I've read they said

Spoiler

Sara gets creative with her use of weapons. I bet it is from that scene.

Don't forget that...

Spoiler

According to the blurbs, she's supposed to be at the Queen mansion recovering from wounds.

 

[Charlatan]

[Loki882]

Yes Mr. Kreisberg, Oliver did defeat Malcolm. However, he only JUST managed to do that by stabbing himself in the chest with an arrow after Malcolm had outfought him YET AGAIN. The League having a more Middle Eastern bent makes me think that we might get a more comic book-like Ra's if/when he shows up.

 

[Human Torch]

This week has felt like three months.

It's pretty much the sign of a great show when you can feel that way about it.

 

[DrRocket]

Yeah, it's my favourite show and this week was themoingest I've had in ages, kept looking for any news related all week.... I think I'm addicted

 

[halo4able]

How long till the show starts cuz I live in the uk

 

[mkilban2]

Very 'meh' episode. All it did was make me want to see the next one. I feel like the story didn't really progress at all both in real time and especially on the island. Cool to see Sara's past a bit but I was just left wanting more haha. Until next week!

 

[Loki882]

Quentin accomplished a very impressive feat this week, good for him. Once again, they just cut to the chase instead of dragging things out like other shows do. Excellent episode.
