I love the look of this, feels a bit like a team Die Hard.

It looks good, but it doesn't look as exciting to me as last episodes did (then again, I am a big fan of the LOA). Hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised.

 

[Arrowshieldfan]

Well there is a mayor debate in this episode. I wonder how long that will last? Before some HIVE attack

This looks like one of those stand alone comics, an all out action ep I think, yes it's connected to HIVE but the concept seems very self contained. I'm interested to see who is on the Demolition Team.

so i manage to find the two assasins both from the comics

Jackhammer - former oil rig worker from Houston. He carried a larger, more powerful version of a jackhammer capable of untold destruction. He is not to be confused with a similarly named character (real name Jackson Hammersmith) who employed an armor suit with two hydraulically charged hammer pistons against Superman while he had been weakened by Lord Satanus and Syren for a time.
Rosie - leader of the Demolition Team. A former, no-nonsense bar owner in New Orleans, she brandished a rapid-fire hot rivet gun.

In terms of fight scene, if they are longer and more one on one fight, I think it would be better? Given James Bamford is directing, it should be longer fight sequence

 

[Jedi Arrow]

Huh, this seems almost like an "anti-Team Arrow" crew. Could end up being really cool; I'm looking forward to this episode.

 

[rashad]

James Bamford is directing this episode.

 

[Hunter Rider]

[BlueLanternKal]

James Bamford is directing this episode.

He should direct every episode.

Spoiler

So in one of the sneak peeks Darhk in Star City kills an associate that is in Spain while looking at him though a screen.

Hope they have an explanation of why he hasn't done that to Oliver or why he needed guys to shoot up the limo

 

[rashad]

Already!!! Great open.

 

[O'Haire]

Ugh. Please kill Felicity's mom. She's unbearable.

 

[Mike Murdock]

Pretty decent stuntwork/vfx with Speedy right there.

 

[rashad]

This demolition group of HIVE is awesome. I kinda wished they got introduced earlier in the season to really give Team Arrow some fits.

 

[JC00]

That little *****y

"What did you do"

"Because you're a man"

Is a good example of why some of the fanbase has turned on Felicity. She wasn't saying that stuff in S1 and S2.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

No offense to EBR, but I can't stand the Felicity character. I keep hoping the lady from the Demolition Team would fill her face full of nails.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

That was a nice verbal jab from Oliver to Ruvé.

 

[Mike Murdock]

I'm surprised Dahrk's wife didn't reveal on television about Ollie's son.

Curtis really is Mr. Terrific. That was nice.

 

[rashad]

Oh ****!

 

[SpideyVille]

Overall another solid episode directed by Bamford.

I also didn't like the line from Felicity, about Quentin being a man. Had the roles been reversed, we'd have the feminist calling for the show to be boycotted.

On the plus side though, Oliver (or rather Amell) is very capable of being a bit more "comedic" than we've seen, and this episode was a good reminder. Oliver keeping secrets with jokes is the best Oliver and I really hope we see more of that as he is in the public eye again.

One thing I will say, and I've noticed this more and more as I've watched TV shows and have become more critical .... I hate how much of seasons these days are filled with filler episodes. Tonight did not feel like one, but I've been seeing a lot of episodes on both Arrow and the Flash where nothing really happens and little hints to bigger story arcs are dropped, but in the 44 minutes of the episode, only 2 mins really matter and it's usually the last two. Tonight was different, each act has some good moments that build up to a larger arc, but I'm tired of getting one good episode like this after 4-5 episodes where the villain is away and the heroes need a distraction to stop them from fighting them.

 

[regnak]

And that is what Oliver gets for not killing Merlyn.

 

[Arrowshieldfan]

This is the first episode since the MS premiere that deal with HIVE 100%

 

[bes628]

Just mediocre. A lot of pacing problems, they don't let anything breathe...there is no tension or build up.

And the handheld cam during the fight scenes takes away from it imo.

idk anymore man.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Once again, it was an ok episode, kind of forgettable. They seemed to take the easy way out throughout majority of it though. I was BEYOND disappointed that we didn't see the debate and Oliver just sooo easily won it, so boring.

The only really good things that stood out to me were the Laurel/Quentin, Quentin/Donna, and Oliver/Thea scenes. Other then that it did very little to wow me. Sucks we didn't get that Laurel/Donna getting to know each other scene and Laurel being absent from majority of the episode.
