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

Some loose ends from season 2:

(OBVIOUS) The fate of Detective Lance

(OBVIOUS) The "Island" becoming Stryker's Island

(OBVIOUS) Payback dealing with the League of Assassins and the Suicide Squad

(OBVIOUS) Oliver's child (Connor?)

(Not so obvious) H.I.V.E.?

(Not so obvious) Blüdhaven and the possibility of Dick Grayson

(Not so obvious) Harley?

Good recall. I had forgot all about H.I.V.E and the fact that they hired Deadshot to kill Diggle's brother.

Ok, after doing a Wikisearch of H.I.V.E, they MUST be a major player in, not just this show, but the Flash as well.

Here's why:

-One of H.I.V.E.'s first agents? Deathstroke
-In the New 52, H.I.V.E is responsible for turning Caitlin Snow into Killer Frost
-Waller could have Oliver running missions in Bialya in the season 3 flashbacks

If a character named Marcia Monroe is introduced, she's the Queen Bee.

I was actually kind of impressed with the Flash preview. He didn't look all that cheesy in the costume, which I was kind of worried about. But what I really liked was how they did his speed. I wondered how they would be able to do it and make it look good on tv. But I thought they did a great job with it (I even liked the electricity coming off of him while he was running).

Holly F'N shite! That was an outstanding episode! And one hell of a way to end the season and set it up for next! I am fricking stoked at the possibilities for this show!

Yep, I got it sitting on my DVR awaiting a rewatch when I get home this afternoon.

One thing I'm going to look closely at is whether or not they actually got an arrow into Isabel to cure her before Nyssa broke her neck. It looked like Nyssa stabbed her in the back with an arrow while she was fighting Sara, but it was hard to tell with all of the action going on.

the finale was fricking awesome. those fight scenes were crazy and so well done. i absolutely loved the intercuts between past and present slade/oliver fight.

nd her giving Laurel her jacket kind of symbolized Laurel being the future Black Canary down the road (hopefully a few seasons down the road). The only thing that I didn't buy was the fact that they made it sound like Sara would still have the freedom to come back and visit. I don't see the League giving her that kind of freedom. But then Det. Lance collapsing spitting up blood came out of nowhere. I wonder if he died. That would just be Oliver's luck to finally get in good with the police, and then have his biggest backer keel over.

so this part is my only gripe with the finale. det lance and laurel know about the league and how brutal they can be (not to mention stole his wife and her mother). yet they act like Sara is just going on a nice vacation? how is this okay to them!? that was a very big eyebrow raise.

i had no issues with the "passing of the torch" with the leather jacket. until det lance collapsed. if he dies, i think that really speeds up laurels journey to become BC. that will be the exact plot point they use to push her character.

my favorite story line has to be thea/malcolm. im very intrigued and anxious to see how that pans out. any guesses what character she could become now?

clearly she wont be the traditional speedy of Green Arrow. Merlyn never had a sidekick in the comics. but thanks.

also, Barrowman is confirmed to be a series regular in Season 3.
