re: Arrow: Season 3 Thread

Am I wrong in thinking that Ray is a good guy? I googled ATOM and it said he was a superhero.

Yeah, I would be absolutely shocked if he turns out to be a bad guy. I think he ends up becoming the superhero Atom by then end of his storyline.

Yeah I know. Esquire was asking if he was wrong in thinking that Ray was a good guy, so I figured I'd go out on that limb.

Two more Easter Eggs:

Sherwood Florist: That was Dinah Lance's flower shop during the Bronze Age.

Mr. Gardner: Ray gets the dwarf star matter that allows him to become the Atom from Mr. Gardner. The Atom was created by writer Gardner Fox.

do you think they work together as characters? i just dont see the same chemistry that other fans clamor on about. personally, im really enjoying her with ray.

---

The chemistry is there, but they are very going out of the way to try and turn it off. They are forcing them apart fairly abruptly it seems. In a manner which is not realistic imo.

Probably because it was never designed to be in the show but they wanted to throw the fans a bone. Now they have to pull them back apart fairly quickly. I can see Felicity either not being on the team very soon, or Ray finds out and joins in. Oh and hires Oliver....

Oh and by the by. In the first 2 seasons they always had Oliver in social settings. Showing his dual responsibilit Ord and him showing that face to others. He does nothing now. If a man as famous as Oliver Queen is doing what he is doing, with no "day job" or outside social scene, someone will figure him out soon. Oh and Diggle needs a permanent mask. Cupid saw him with Arrow, if she sees him spend a lot of time with Oliver.... 2+2=4.

i think hes okay since the Queen family got drudged through the mud and he lost his company. no one really cares about a "has been."

i felt the same way. if anyone sees diggle in the field and sees him with Oliver, its extremely obvious whats going on.

what does Thea think that about all these people going in and out of the basement of the club?

---

she knows oliver is the arrow. Oliver doesnt know that she knows. that i know she knows.

I watched an interview with Amell last night where he said the shows completely understands peoples concerns with Laurel becoming Canary. He said she will NOT be the same canary as Sarah. they understand that takes a large amount of training and time.

---

I think in the same interview Amell said that he might not actually show up in the present day for a couple of episodes. Said he had like 9 days off in a row and that was the longest he had gone without filming anything since the show started.

It might be interesting if Oliver does disappear for a couple of episodes after the midseason finale. Seeing how Team Arrow plus maybe Ray handle Danny “Brick” Brickwell (who appears in episodes 10, 11, and 12) trying to take over the city.

Though that does mean that Laurel and Roy would have to shoulder more of the story in the present day and neither have proven they can do that yet.

So you think Thea knows Oliver is the Arrow? You would think that Malcolm would've told her, but they are sure making it appear the she doesn't know yet.

According to the producers Thea does NOT know Oliver's secret identity.

I’ll tell you, because I don’t think it’s a spoiler: Thea does not know that Oliver is the Arrow. We sort of played that trick with Moira — the idea that ever since the end of Season 1, Moira knew that Oliver was the Arrow — and to have Thea be in possession of that knowledge and not be telling Oliver would be repeating ourselves a bit, which we try hard to avoid doing. That said, the reason Malcolm doesn’t tell Thea Oliver’s secret is because that is Oliver’s secret to tell. The thing about Malcolm is we’ve always tried to write him as “the word’s most principled bad guy.” He has a very distinct code of honor. Even when he destroyed the city at the end of Season 1, he considered it to be for very noble, altruistic purposes. He was “burning the village to save it.” So where Malcolm is concerned, he doesn’t act like your typical villain. He believes that he’s doing the right thing by Thea, and he also believes that Oliver is like a son to him. Being like a son to him, he’s not going to spoiler Oliver’s secret
