Arrow Arrow Season 3 Episode 16 the offer

[antsman41]

Pretty solid, loved the Ra's stuff... Oliver being at odds was great even though nonsensical.

Not feeling Ra's being in the field though, that was meh and left a bad taste on the episode.

Thea is like peak hotness lately.

And suddenly, I heard a loud cry as every moderator in charge of fan fiction sites suddenly saw a huge surge in Laurel/Nyssa slash fan fictions. Well, I doubt it'd bother Laurel that Nyssa and Sara were lovers. Didn't stop her from getting back together with Oliver momentarily in Season 1.

There alway archives of our own

Now that you mention it, he did look familiar. Wow, it really makes me remember on how long it's been since then..to think that it's been 14 years since that episode came out.



Only in the CW-DC Television Universe can you have:

1. Green Arrow web slinging away in mid air, without a building in front of him.

2. Arsenal constantly doing ineffective back flips

3. The Flash not apprehending his normal speed villains before they get away from the scene, let alone stealing their cold/heat guns




Oliver should write a book about his philosophy when it comes to caring for the women that he loves in his life:

Chapter 1- How to tell a woman that you lover her

A. Passionately kiss her and tell her that you lover her with all of your heart, before also mentioning that your career will prevent you two in ever becoming a real couple.

B. Act moody around her whenever you see her with another guy, as though your girlfriend was cheating on you.....even though you basically told her to move on with her life.

Chapter 2- How to commit to a woman you're going out with

A. Cheat on her with any female relative that she may have around your age.

B. If she's still into you, impregnate another woman with your child. Though if you have second thoughts about this step, have your mommy take care of it for you.

Chapter 3- How to take care of your younger sister

A. Even though your sister is in tremendous emotional pain and agony, find a convoluted way to ensure that your sister is still stuck with being around the person that is responsible for that agony in the first place.

I knew someone would spot it besides me about Jeremy Creek.

Basically we have Barry and Iris cheating on Linda Park and Eddie Thawne while Oliver shoots up to the skies and swing like Batman and Spider-Man.

Both shows need to be careful about these things.

I wish iZombie would cross over with Arrow and Flash.

lol; when it comes to the relationships on both of these shows, it seems like the only couples that know how to be faithful to each other are "Ronnie and Caitlin", "Thea and Roy", and "Diggs and Lyla".

And don't forget, we have the Iron Man (and potentially later, Superman) rip-off in Atom...while Black Canary is more like "Kick-Ass".

The next thing you know, Vixen will be more like Wonder Woman and Roy will end up becoming something like Deadpool.

Since Brandon Routh played Superman in Superman Returns, his version of Atom is a good combination of Superman and Iron Man. I can see DC Comics using this version of Atom in their plans.

Speaking of Vixen, I'm waiting for that animated series to debut on CW Seed.

well the thing is thay made him let Oliver go too easily when he made the offer & let diggle with Malcolm in the room after Oliver said "and what if I refuse? " so he'll force oliver by having fakes of the arrow starting with him taking the lead messing up starling getting captain lance wild up . i

if he didn't want Oliver to refuse the he'd could said then you your friend Diggle wont leave Nanda Parbat alive or ever.

But he wants to trick Oliver so can't say it wasn't his chose . I guess

 

[Boy Scout]

Sometimes I wonder how Flash could be so good yet this show has failed to go back to that great Season 1 glory.

I'd rank this season of Arrow higher than TF.

I don't see Roy as much of a wise cracking guy. Since arrow likes to bring in batman stories Roy will be somebody like the red hood.

your right that is the real roy a wise cracker & the lady's man with women his age zone ( huntress & his wife Cheshire) a cross between ice man/spiderman & gambit personality wise.

Well, if by some chance Laurel ends up having a fling with Nyssa, then Black Canary (both versions) will become this show's Catwoman (who was recently revealed to be bi-sexual in the comics.lol)

 

[zenith16]

Well, if by some chance Laurel ends up having a fling with Nyssa, then Black Canary (both versions) will become this show's Catwoman (who was recently revealed to be bi-sexual in the comics.lol)

well it was ether that or the one that was a prostitute that worked for her that took over for her as cat woman while Selina was away for a bit.

Anyway nyssa was trained in the art of killing so her training won't be what she want's & Oliver will still be on their case.

 

[Snow Queen]

Well, if by some chance Laurel ends up having a fling with Nyssa, then Black Canary (both versions) will become this show's Catwoman (who was recently revealed to be bi-sexual in the comics.lol)

Well, Black Canary was supposed to be bi in the comics. There was going to be a line about her being [some percentage] heterosexual I think directed at Talia, funny enough. However, apparently there was a printing error and it came out "hetero to the bone." How exactly that works, I can't tell you...

 

[zenith16]

the only thing I'm worried is what Nyssa did to the woman that had an affair with Oliver's dad that she killed the day of Slades siege he told not to kill.

she killed her brushed it off . yeah she was helping slade. he'll have issues with Laurel training with her since Nyssa has that habbit. Laurel wants to be a better fighter Nyssa was trained be a killer. Two different things. They're idea of justice isn't the same at all. & old habits die hard

[Spider-Ock]

Sometimes I wonder how Flash could be so good yet this show has failed to go back to that great Season 1 glory.

The Flash has more plot contrivances than any show I have seen on TV. I think Season 1 and its overarching plot line is great so far, but the villain of the week eps are just plain mediocre. If it hadnt been for Wells, "Out of Time" would have been the worst episode in the show's entire run till now for me. Failure to conveniently capture main villain of episode in the precinct? Check. Letting your foster father go to hunt down said villain alone? Check. Still have no basis for your feelings for Iris? Check. More romantic drama? Check. More stupidity like the lack of a SWAT team to capture main villain? Check.

But, on topic: This one was pretty decent. Good opportunity for Amell to deliver an emotional turn as Ollie; Ra's was badass; the ongoing plot looks promising. Bad: jeez, just kill of Malcolm and be done with it. And less oilicity drama is always a good thing.

Herolee you always seem to complain or dislike things non stop when it comes to this show. Curious but why're you still watching it?

Believe it or not, the things that I complain about are the only things that I don't like about these shows. Aside from those things, I actually really enjoy them...well, I love the Flash right now more than I do Arrow.

With Arrow, they did a great job (for the most part) in bringing us two great/awesome seasons. It's because of those two well made seasons that I got so hooked onto the show and its characters.

And it's because of the mistakes that this season has made that really makes things so frustrating since I've seen that the show can bee/has been better before.

With the Flash, the only thing that I feel like is dragging it down is the Iris factor. Aside from that, everything on that show is freaking superb.

Interesting

Theres been a few Nyssa/Laurel fics written already. I expect more will be written in the next few weeks.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Good episode with some great scenes for Ollie, loved him being worked by Ra's and his scenes with Felicity when he returned as well as with Digg, it's the most clarity Ollie has had in some time.

I like them pairing Nyssa with Laurel, I think there is a genuine side to it but Nyssa may also be looking to get on the inside with Team Arrow so she can catch Ollie with his guard down.

The villain of the week had a gimmick that would be interesting to see further explored but his motives were simple and provided 2 good action sequences. Mostly though he was useful in Ollie's arc and Lance's continued journey into bitter self pity.

Poor Thea. I definitely think Malcolm has to go by the end of the season.

Not sure what to make of the Shado scene.

The end scene with Ra's impersonating The Arrow to begin his plan to turn everything he predicted into a reality for Ollie was fantastic and sets the season run-in up enticingly.

 

[SV Fan]

Herolee you always seem to complain or dislike things non stop when it comes to this show. Curious but why're you still watching it?

Just my 2 cents.........It's much easier and funner talking about things I hate then things I like, so if I comment on a episode chances are I will point out the negative more then the positive. lol

 

[Drz]

If they're not allowing Ras' to judge Malcolm, why aren't they giving Malcolm to Star City police? Tsk Tsk!

 

[Sterling Archer]

It seems to me Ollie didn't really have any reason to change his mind about taking Ra's offer. It seems like he was set on taking it but then he changed his mind at the end of the episode because it was the end of the episode.

Also personally dressing up as Arrow just to murder some criminals seems a bit unnecessary for a guy with hundreds of assassins at his command.

 

[jerkhero]

Nyssa wanting to talk and going to dinner was so darn cute lol. :heart:

 

[Slade W]

Nyssa wanting to talk and going to dinner was so darn cute lol. :heart:

It seemed a bit out of character for Nyssa IMO but I don't mind tbh. She didn't strike me as someone who would show much vulnerability. Then again, maybe she is being manipulative and is using Laurel.
