re: Arrow Season Long Thread 5/14 Pg. 54

It probably feels like its been on longer since its a network show with 23 episode seasons (w/very few pure filler episodes) in an era where so many of us are used to watching cable and premium cable shows that only get 10-16 episode seasons. It also helps that the tone has changed dramatically over the course of the series. All soap opera love triangle stuff and diary like narrations by Oliver this show used to be about are a distant memory.



Before we watched this episode I had just got done telling my GF about how Isabel Rochev is a crazy arse that wears Ollie's dead mom's wedding ring in the comics.

Then Moira all the sudden bonds with Ollie telling him she knows and my GF got all pissed and was like "Did you see a spoiler or something? Why the hell is she being nice and understanding like this? This is how she died in the comics isn't it?"

Then when it actually went down I was the shocked one while she was expecting it b/c I thought the odds of me mentioning Moira is dead in the comics and it actually happening that very day were so ridiculously low that there was no way it would happen.
