uh what truth?? Does he spill the beans about Oliver being the hood? If he does then he's really stupid lol Laurel admires the hood so might as well tell her run back into the arms of your awesome ex
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the flashback and more info about how Malcolm became the Dark Archer.
ReplyDeleteHoly hell. This is getting crazy.
ReplyDelete- Oliver is on the outs with Diggle as well as Tommy? That's not going to be good for Oliver's state of mind. Speaking of which...
- Felicity in the field!? That's insane. Oliver is going to get her killed. Well, almost. She's going to be a regular character after all. :)
- It's about damn time they found a lead on Walter's whereabouts.
- Tommy, you keep your damn mouth shut about Oliver! :P
Oooh I can't wait for Oliver and Felicity to work in the field together. I'm hoping she does well. Love them together and it'll be nice to see them "in action" instead of always behind a computer monitor. Sounds like an awesome episode! Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteSTUNS WITH WHAT TRUTH??/??????????
ReplyDeleteI read "mend fences with... Tommy and Diggle" and was thinking, aww Oliver and Diggle are at odds. But then I read Felicity in the field and I was thinking, yay!
ReplyDeleteI hate the thought of Oliver and Diggle being at odds, and I guess Deadshot got away again. Oliver needs Diggle and Diggle is one of my favorite characters in this show, so I hope Diggle puts their differences aside and joins then to stop the Undertaking from fulfilling their plans regarding the Glades. I don't want to see Diggle becoming a bid bad next season.. I'd rather him stay on the Arrow's team.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they finally found a lead on Walter. I guess the right computer arrived to Felicity's IT lab.
It won't be the truth about Oliver being the Hood imo.. not like two seconds after Guggenheim was interviewed saying the show will be 'more protective' of Oliver's identity moving forward http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/GraphicCity/news/?a=77341
ReplyDeleteI think Tommy will either tell Laurel she's still in love with Oliver (which would be kind of true since she has feeling for the Hood, she just doesn't know that he's Oliver) or tell her about his dad and his Dark Archer plans. It would make sense to have the flashback in an episode where Malcolm reveals his plans. I don't think he'll tell her about Oliver being Arrow though. That is a secret that I think for now he'll keep to himself.
ReplyDeleteApparently she dresses up again for her field operation. Whatever Oliver will ask her to do, I don't think he'll put her in too much danger.
ReplyDeleteThe Diggle fight will no doubt be about Oliver stopping Diggle from killing Deadshot (or failing to kill him, himself). I'm not looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I haven't liked any interaction between Ollie and Diggle since Diggle found out. It's a bunch of self-righteous moralizing back-and-forth. It's not fun, or well written, or even well acted. The stuff with Slade on the island has been way better for that over the last five or six episodes. I was hoping Felicity would add a sense of humor to the Arrowcave, but it hasn't worked to diffuse the boring bullshit they have Oliver and Diggle arguing about half the time.
Looking forward to Oliver and Felicity in the field.
Honestly, I don't think they're telling that story (Laurel having feelings for the hood) as much as they've dangerously brushed against that comic-book trope a few times. If anything they've had Cassidy play it as latent feelings for Oliver himself.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it will be relationship drama. This show has been good at avoiding it.
I think that episode will delve into the relationship drama. That episode returns to Oliver and Laurel's relationship before the yacht and if you saw the Wondercon sizzle reel, it contains a scene where it looks like there's a real passion between them. I thought it was Sara and not Laurel at first because I'm not used to Laurel showing much emotion. I hope KC can act well in that episode and make Oliver and Laurel's relationship seem more believable.
ReplyDeleteDeadshot has Diggle on his knees in the promotional pictures for episode 1.20. I'm guessing their fight will be about Oliver not having Diggle's back and running to help Laurel instead of be there to help him take out Deadshot.
ReplyDeleteI personally love Diggle and his and Oliver's interaction. I care more about their bromance than about Oliver and Slade's. I like Oliver and Slade's bromance too but not as much as Oliver and Diggle's.
There is no "bromance", and there hasn't been since December.
ReplyDeleteIt's just "you need to do this Oliver!", "sometimes you have to do this Diggle!" type of overt, empty moralizing that this show should be avoiding, considering one of the best things about the adaptation is it's moral grey-zone. The fact that Stephen Amell can't pull off those scenes isn't helping.
I gotta have to disagree. First, Stephen Amell has convinced me in his acting and I think he can pull off those scenes. Second, what you call inconsistency is in my opinion growth. Diggle and Oliver didn't start off as friends, but as they learn to know each other, they do start to care more about each other and it impacts their decisions and leads to those moments that could then be seen as inconsistencies.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Diggle is now as goal-focused with Deadshot as Oliver is with the list. He can no longer criticise Oliver as he did before because he too has changed.
damn i wonder what secret then, probably something to do with his father
ReplyDeleteMeh. That would definitely confuse her but I wouldn't say stun. I don't see why he'd hide taking a job with his father anyway.
ReplyDeleteIt'd make her wonder what's going on between him and Oliver and why he hasn't told her anything sooner.
ReplyDeleteOf course. That would be a normal reaction. She'd be concerned and she'd be curious.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing Diggle will get a chance to kill Deadshot for revenge and Oliver will somehow self-righteously stop him because it's wrong, blah blah, hence the two of them falling out. Yawn.
ReplyDeleteIt's about freaking time they remembered Walter. He's been gone since the end of episode 9 and most of the time, the characters are acting like nothing happened. Why isn't Moira, in particular, doing anything? She agreed to let Malcolm take him because he was digging into the conspiracy, but she's fine with them apparently holding her husband captive indefinitely? (And what HAVE they been doing with him all these months, anyway? Trying to give him a partial lobotomy to erase his memories of what he found?)
Malcolm promised to return Walter to her in six months after his plan for the Glades is accomplished when he took Walter. We did see Moira try to find info on Walter through Frank and failing, so now I guess what she's doibg is waiting for those 3 months to end.
ReplyDeleteThey last mentioned Walter 3 episodes ago btw.
