I can't wait to see Diggle and Felicity dragging Oliver back to Starling Coty. Wish he hasn't left but alas..
ReplyDeleteSounds go. Wonder if Oliver will reveal more info to Felicity & Dig about his time on the island when they find him. Exicted to see Summer Glau back on tv.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Laurel just now trying to bring in The Hood? She spent all of last season mooning over him, I hope the writing gives a credible reason for her shift in attitude.
ReplyDeleteAlso, make Celina Jade a regular.
I presume the reason will be Tommy's death. (I still can't believe he's dead, though)
ReplyDeleteI bet you she's going to blame The Hood for Tommy's death, even though it was her own dumbass' fault.
ReplyDelete"Why is Laurel just now trying to bring in The Hood?"
ReplyDeleteThe Hood disappeared after the Merlyn disaster. I think the vigilante they're trying to bring in is Roy, who is "trying to fill the void left by the Arrow’s absence."
Diggle and Felicity going to Lian Yu will be something cool to see.
ReplyDeleteIn the trailer she specifically mentions wanting to catch "the other archer" (meaning not Merlyn). Roy is small potatoes, so I don't think anybody knows or cares about him except Detective (er, Officer) Lance.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it'll make sense when the episode airs but it doesn't make much sense now. How would they go about catching, arresting, and convicting someone who has disappeared completely (and left the country) for five months?
ReplyDeleteThey might just be assuming he's laying low for a while since The Glades went kaput.
ReplyDeleteAre they still trying to make Laurel into Rachel Dawes? Do they really think people want that? Just believably slowly transform her into the JLU Black Canary.
ReplyDeleteWoah! Dig and Felicity going to the island?
ReplyDeleteI love the entire show. butttt at this moment, the only thing I'm excited for is having Roy trying to defend the city in Oliver's absence!
