Arrow Arrow Season 2 Episode 6 "Keep Your Enemies Closer" Discussion Thread

Poor Slade

Also, who or what is Hive?

[Mr. Dent]

Oh yeah Diggle Ollie really took a bullet "distracting" Glau

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Glau HAS to be Talia

I believe Isabella rochev is already an existing green arrow villain, the red queen or something like that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.I.V.E.

I wonder if they'll get brother blood involved like they did in the teen titans show.

 

[Mr. Dent]

^ Clearly tat's the plan. Ivo is probably a part of it too.

 

[Sub-Zero]

No but it's clear how they'll spin Hourman out of Arrow with this.

that was a joke that he's ivo, but i guess no one really gets joke here.
they are reimagining it to be like early edition, and since it's supposed to be on cw it probably will be a spin off.

 

[Human Torch]

Good episode.Digg gets a nice chance for the spotlight.The stuff with him and Deadshot was pretty cool.

Not sure I get that Digg & Lyla were married.I mean,it feels a hasty addition.Not something that was intended.

I was loathing seeing Roy get arrested again,but I guess it puts he and Lance on the same page now.Thankfully the Thea Break-Up Drama was short lived.

I agree with Felicity's reaction with Ollie & Isabella's hook up. I really don't see what contribution she makes to the series as yet.Hopefully something significant is done with the character soon.

I was a bit surprised Ollie was still naive enough to trust Sara.I could see it coming a mile away.But I guess,he didn't expect something like that from her.

I never like it when Ollie doesn't wear the costume much.So my score takes a one point bump down.
8/10

Next week,The Count.

Ok since Ivo mentioned a super soldier formula that increases the possibility that Blood was injecting a version of that in the Mayor. Does anyone remember if the Mayor lived or died when injected?

Apparently,he died.

 

[Orb]

sooooo yeeeeaaahh they just killed couple of guards with that bomb of theirs....what was about that "no killing rule"?

 

[Human Torch]

In fairness,the bomb was just supposed to blow up the store room as a distraction.No one forced the old fool to try the coat on.

He's taken a page out of the Chris Nolan batman book. Killing is wrong, but directly causing someone's death is a ok.

 

[regnak]

Apparently,he died.

Ok so maybe some live and some die, otherwise why would he try it? Or maybe there will be a new version. Since ep 8 is titled The Scientist maybe Ivo will show up in the present?

No, the Nolan rule is that intentionally and deliberately killing someone is wrong.

So, looking on that page, I noticed a few things:

-In the original incarnation of the H.I.V.E., Deathstroke (aka Slade Wilson) had some involvement with them.

-In the second incarnation, Lady Vic is a member. Lady Vic is also the primary antagonist of Nightwing, who has been confirmed to make an appearance later on in this series. This makes me wonder if she will make an appearance later on in the show.

-In an alternate timeline of Flashpoint, Ra's Al Ghul, who was mentioned by name a couple episodes earlier, was also a member.

 

[BlackMagicWolf]

You're forgetting one, but I'll let someone else call it out.

This episode was decent, but definitely the low point of the Season, but being that it was still good that's not a total bad thing.

Let's see how they do with the return of the Count next week.

"I'm Count Vertigo, and I approved this high!"

 

[Loki882]

I totally called Oliver sleeping with Isabel months ago, though it happened quicker than I expected. Oh Oliver, you're man****e ways would make Tony Stark and Matt Murdock proud.

 

[Ultra Nolanite]

Haha, I loved this episode. Even without hooding up the show maintains it's strengths. Amazing. And Summer Glau was very sexy in this one. Their little moment getting wasted in the hotel lobby was golden.

Was great to see Slade again and overall the flashbacks took an interesting turn once more.

What a show, what a show.

 

[Crossvale]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.I.V.E.

There is nothing on that page.

The only hive I know I read it in a fictional novel and stood for: The Higher Institute of Villainous Education.

 

[Saitou Hajime]

I hope that Slade won't get mixed signals from Shado's platonic empathy and lead to a face heel turn because of spurned affections.

More particle accelerator anvil droppings. We get it, it's dangerous.

Waller implying that she knows how Digg and Ollie spend their nights was reminiscent of the animated version shaking up Batman by calling him "rich boy".

I think Sarah's doing a triple agent act on the fly and turns on Ivo and his goons once they hit the island and she and Ollie regroup with Slade and Shado. I don't see Ollie as being so cordial towards Sarah in the present if she was solid with the ship guys, coerced or not.

 

[Ultra Nolanite]

Also, what a breath of fresh air the absence of Laurel and her baggage was this time.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Cynthia Addai-Robinson =

 

[Crossvale]

Oh I get it now, found this

H.I.V.E stands for Hierarchy of International Vengeance and Extermination, is a DC Comics supervillain organization.

 

[HighFivingMF]

This episode flowed so much better without Laurel in it...

 

[Still Wynning]

You're forgetting one, but I'll let someone else call it out.

Are you referring to Cheshire?

 

[Lencho01]

Anyone else like the race jokes they always throw out on this show?
