    Other:
    My favorite scene was Detective Lance trying to talk some sense into Roy down in the morgue. In fact, it was my favorite Det. Lance scene in the series thus far. He, in his own surly way, tries to do something good for a troubled kid. It was really nice.

    I loved Laurel going for her shot gun. I was really worried the writers would forget she had a gun (again) and then she came out with the shotgun and I thought - cool! She got a bigger gun! -

    You're right. That was an awesome, and slightly uncomfortable, scene.

    From the ones here: Thea tells Roy that she will hunt for the vigilante with him. Apart from that, can i vote for Oliver checking Felicity's dyed hair? I couldn't stop laughing for a while lol

    You could definitely see some discomfort in Thea's face. Only Detective Lance would try to help someone by showing them a corpse and then sticking an arrow into it while they watch. XD

    The fight scene was awesome and one of the best in the show so far, so I had to choose it. The best lines in this episode were Oliver's "probably hit a tree" and Felicity's hair color secret.

    I'm in the minority here but I loved when Tommy broke up with Laurel. He's had an interesting character evolution. He's gone fron party boy to fallen prince to resentful friend. I think him breaking up with Laurel is a major turning point for him if he accepts his father's secret over Oliver's.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Compass_127 April 2013 at 20:21

    I didn't think it was ironic. Oliver was lurking outside and he couldn't hear Mr. Blank's gun because he used a silencer, but he could hear Laurel's gun.

  16. Compass_127 April 2013 at 20:32

    We saw him taking the suit before. He was going to watch out for her because he loves her. I don't know who ordered the hit on Diggle but I think we'll find out.

    This is actually one of my favorite scenes too. It made it in the poll until the very last round of cuts. I am actually liking Detective more and more these days. They are letting him be more funny and as long as it isn't just Laurel and him in a scene, he tends to be entertaining.

  21. Dahne27 April 2013 at 21:38

    I loved that Tommy broke up with Laurel and even more that he was the most sympathetic of the trio and still did it in a classier manner. Of course, I don't think either Laurel or Oliver are worthy of Tommy so that might be a factor. :-) I too think he is going to go to his father's side quickly.

    Mr. Blank definitely brought the action in this episode and I really appreciated that. Plus he's Gunn from Angel so that's a bonus.

  23. Bruce_F27 April 2013 at 21:41

    I appreciated the graphic display in front of Thea because it'll add a bit more depth to the scene when she inevitably finds out about her brother.

    Death by poker. That's classic. I also liked how they gave credit to the dead bodyguard and how Tommy thanked Oliver in guise of that bodyguard right after.

  26. Dahne27 April 2013 at 21:44

    Ha! I narrowed down from 30+. I find that both Arrow and Supernatural work best by giving people around 15 choices. Usually at least one person votes for each option and yet I still can never please everyone because there are always ones that just missed the final cut that people wanted to vote for. I like for everyone to be able to participate even if they are shy about commenting. Still I draw the line at 20 choices though.

  27. Dahne27 April 2013 at 21:45

    I thought that Thea/Roy scene was very touching too. Usually teen romance subplots annoy me to no end with their melodrama. Arrow is one of the few shows that has gotten it right so far. I'm rooting for those kids.

    I thought it was funny that Tommy went for the kid and Laurel went for the gun. Good training by Quentin there.

    At this point I am guessing that Diggle's brother's murder is somehow tie to Fyers but that might be wishful thinking. I'd hate to think we spend so much time on the island just to get Oliver off of it. Here's hoping Malcolm is tied to the island too.

    I can't wait until Oliver finds out she is hunting for the vigilante. We are bound to see a Hood and Thea scene sooner rather than later.

  32. chestal27 April 2013 at 21:52

    yes i'm surprised as well about them, when i saw this coming i thought oh joy teen drama/romance lol but now i'm really liking them! Thea gained some points some episodes ago and i think it's because of Roy... i haven't really thought much about it but i could barely stand her at first and now i like her so... it's a win for this show :)

  33. start_wearing_purple27 April 2013 at 21:54

    I actually see it as the complete opposite as you. I see Tommy right now as being a brat. I think Tommy is more angry that Oliver didn't tell him his secret rather than being angry at Oliver for being a different man. Also I think he broke up with Laurel because he realized Laurel was in love with the Hood and the second she found out Oliver is the Hood he's lose Laurel.


    In a sense, I see Tommy like a child who's breaking his toys to punish the people who gave them to him. He's angry, but not for the reasons he should be angry. Do you understand me or do I just sound crazy?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Compass_127 April 2013 at 22:00

    I can't wait till she finds out too. Will she be okay with it or will she respond similarly to Tommy? Because Thea turning against Oliver will hurt him more than Tommy did.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Bruce_F27 April 2013 at 22:00

    And it'll probably be the longest amount of time Oliver has spent in the same place with Thea in months.

    I generally enjoy Arrow very much but I'm disappointed that the show all but dropped the "reconnecting with my brother/sister" subplot. They had a blowout and made up in "Year's End" and they dealt with Thea's drug issue in "Vertigo" at the end of January and they've barely shared the same screen since.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Compass_127 April 2013 at 22:02

    I agree with you, I think Tommy is acting like a brat little kid too. What he had with Laurel was more real than her feelings for Oliver\Arrow right now and I thought he was wrong to break up with her, especially the way he did that.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Compass_127 April 2013 at 22:04

    It also helps that Willa can act well. I rooted for her in the few scenes she had this episode, and even the "you mean the world to me" sentence she gave to Roy didn't make me eyeroll because of the way she delivered it.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Compass_127 April 2013 at 22:06

    I think we'll see people from the island catching up on Oliver in Starling City. It doesn't have to be related to either Malcolm or Diggle's brother though. There's for example the Russian mob guy whose life Oliver saved during those five years that recommended him in Vertigo, so Oliver definitely isn't the only one that got away.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Dahne27 April 2013 at 22:07

    Unfortunately very true. I am a sucker for big brother-little sister stories, hence why i loved Everwood at first. Some of my favorite parts of Arrow are when Thea and Oliver are just chatting and acting like normal siblings. I hope they bring that back well before Thea learns about Ollie.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Dahne27 April 2013 at 22:19

    I understand you but I see it differently. Laurel has treated him pretty unfairly throughout their relationship. Always demanding that he be upfront and honest with her while hiding things from him all the time. Always demanding that he be there for her and yet brushing him off. It was a very unbalanced relationship in which it felt like Tommy was bending over backwards for whatever scraps she would give him.


    I agree that he broke up with Laurel before she could break up with him. I see it more though in the fact that Laurel always chooses Oliver over Tommy as it is right now. They both looked like they were sneaking around before they talked and hugged in the hallway. I found it very weird how they both checked around pretty obviously to see if anyone could see them. It made me uncomfortable and I can only imagine what it felt like to Tommy.


    As for Oliver, I think Tommy is more confused than anything by Oliver. He knows his former party boy best friend but he can't align him with the cold-blooded killer that Oliver sometimes is. Also I get the feeling that Oliver and Tommy did not have many secrets from each other before the island so it has to rankle more that this new Oliver is a total mystery to him. It's the same juxtaposition everyone else in Oliver's life is facing. To be honest, Oliver snapping at everyone all the time and being a hypocrite and a jerk doesn't help either. Add to that, the girl Tommy's been bending over backwards to please has been keeping secrets from him about meeting with both the Hood and Oliver and I think Oliver is lucky Tommy hasn't punched him yet. I would have the second he acted like Tommy might have brought drugs into the club. Talk about pot and kettle.

    Being with Roy has caused Thea to stop acting like a spoiled rich kid basically to prove that she isn't to him. That was my biggest problem with Thea's character in earlier episodes. One episode she would seem mature and wise. The next she'd be doing her bad girl celebrity impression. By focusing the relationship both characters have had a chance to grow into something better and I am all for their relationship if it continues.

    You read my mind bout Malcolm being tied to the island but i don't think Malcolm anticipated the Ship crashing almost close to the island..Which beg's the question whoever made sure the ship go down did they purposely wanted Oliver to find it??

    ReplyDelete
  43. Compass_127 April 2013 at 22:27

    I don't think Oliver is being a hypocrite and a jerk, I think he has PTSD and has major trust issues due to his island experience and due to his dad blowing his brain out right in front of him. Everything that Tommy has went through after finding Oliver was a killer, Oliver went through too after seeing his dad killing their bodygaurd, but unlike Tommy, he could't confront his dad and remained with his anger.
    I also see Tommy and Laurel's relationship differently. I think she was there for him more than he was there for her.

  44. Boris Breynin27 April 2013 at 22:31

    Oh ya now i remember lol What if Malcolm ordered the hit on his brother because he must of found out what Malcolm was doing but in your mind why would he need to hire dead shot when he could of killed him as dark archer but lets remember the flashback we gonna see is mostly like when tommy and oliver are is still a kid and before he went away to train Nanda Parbat which he claims he left to when tommy was 7 yrs old.

    I agree Oliver has PST. However you seem to discount that he can be suffering from trauma AND still act like a jerk and a hypocrite. We can understand why he is lashing out but that doesn't make him come off any better in his relationships with others. He's a douche to almost everyone even if we can sympathize with him.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Dahne27 April 2013 at 23:03

    I also find it interesting that Oliver made his way to the island if they are connected There is no way they could have known he would get there. To be honest, I am not sure Oliver was even supposed to be on the boat when it was sabotaged. It seems more likely that he was surprise collateral damage.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Dahne27 April 2013 at 23:06

    I think the writers didn't know what to do with her character which is why she was written wildly different almost every episode. However by turning to the Roy subplot, they gave her a reason to want to appear differently to him than the way he originally saw her. He thought she was a spoiled brat. She was determined to show him she was not. That's a good way to stabilize your writing base in regards to a character so everyone's on the same page.

  52. Compass_127 April 2013 at 23:23

    Agreed but at the same time I don't think he's doing it on purpose and thus I do sympathize with him

  53. Kathleen Kervin27 April 2013 at 23:52

    Just popping in to say that I agree with you about Tommy and about Oliver both. Tommy has a massive inferiority complex (brought on by both his mother and father abandoning him?) and he always acts like he's bracing himself for the next blow to come. He left Laurel because he thought he would always be second best with her and he couldn't live with that.

    Oliver, even though I understand the trauma of The Island, acts like a jerk much of the time. (In this episode he did it by abandoning Diggle when Diggle needed him so he could do his hero act for Laurel.) He was a jerk before he landed on the island and he remains a jerk sometimes for his friends still. He was a jerk to Tommy when Tommy paid off the inspector to keep Oliver's secret but he thought Tommy was dealing drugs instead. When Felicity was undercover in The Dodger, it was Diggle who was more afraid she was going to get hurt.

    If Laurel really does care about Tommy, she'll contact him Unfortunately, I think Tommy is right and she's still hung up on Oliver/the Vigilante. Tommy was just a place-holder to her.

    I want more Oliver\Thea scenes and want the show to spend more time on their relationship too. The last time we saw Oliver and her together was in Salvation when he found out about her dating Roy, and at least in that time he wasn't against her boyfriend. There is going to be a scene of Oliver finding out that Thea and Roy are trying to find the Hood in episode 1.22, but I'd rather see Oliver spending some quality time with Thea alone without Roy too.
