EDM MEGASTAR STEVE AOKI OPENS OLIVER’S NEW NIGHTCLUB — With his nightclub set to open and a new romance brewing with McKenna (guest star Janina Gavankar), Oliver (Stephen Amell) is as happy as he’s been since returning to Starling City. But when Oliver’s ex, The Huntress (guest star Jessica De Gouw), suddenly returns to town, she threatens to destroy everything and everyone he cares about. Meanwhile, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) and her father (Paul Blackthorne) struggle with the return of Dinah Lance (guest star Alex Kingston) who claims she has proof Sara is still alive. Thea (Willa Holland) gets Roy Harper (guest star Colton Haynes) a job at Oliver’s club, but he’s not too inclined to stop his life of crime. Oliver and Tommy (Colin Donnell) are thrilled they were able to get Steve Aoki to play at the opening of their new nightclub, Verdant. David Ramsey and Susanna Thompson also star. Guy Bee directed the episode written by Jake Coburn & Lana Cho (117).

I have to suspend disbelief a lot when watching this show but they're going to have to try extremely hard to make me believe that Sara surviving is in any way plausible.
ReplyDeleteI don't see a problem with Sara being alive. If someone planted a bomb on the yacht from the outside, that same someone could've grabbed her as she fell and took her with him.
ReplyDeleteSo, Oliver and Tommy are okay now...? Tommy didn´t look all that pleased in the last episode.
ReplyDeleteI was actually thinking about Sara possibly being alive. Wonder if there's a chance it's true...
ReplyDeleteThere was no one to grab her. We saw her disappear into the water while the ship was capsizing. Besides, if there was someone there to retrieve her, the captain on-board would have noticed an entire ship following them around beforehand.
ReplyDeleteHe wouldn't have noticed them in the storm if they were on a small boat and arriving from China. We saw het fall but we didn't see her drown.
ReplyDeleteA small boat wouldn't have made it in the middle of the ocean during a storm like that.
ReplyDeleteA small boat did make it out of the middle of the ocean in the exact same storm - the boat Oliver and his father were on.
ReplyDeleteThat's not a boat it's a yacht and the captain would have noticed another yacht registering on the equipment at the helm.
ReplyDeleteWell, me, the moment I didn't see Sara drowning, I thought she might be alive... I mean, maybe she was dragged, and got some sort of lifesaver, and took days for a fishing boat to find her... That's possible, I think.
ReplyDeleteThe " harrowing, miraculous rescue" seems to be the easiest answer to this but there's one flaw. If she was rescued by your average run-of-the-mill fishing vessel all those years ago, how is it that she hasn't found a phone to call home in five years?
ReplyDeleteThey left the yacht in a life boat, and I am referring to the life boat.. maybe you should rewatch if you don't remember
ReplyDeleteI remember just fine. A life raft also isn't a boat. It also doesn't have an adequate means of propulsion. Are you trying to tell me that some as yet unknown party got into a life raft in the middle of a storm, found a drowning Sara, and made it back to whatever apparently undetectable vessel the raft originated from? That doesn't exactly scream plausible to me.
ReplyDeleteWhen we're talking about Merlyn's people, yes, that's what I believe. They probably got there on a bigger boat but stayed far enough away from sight and then got closer on a much smaller boat. There are military operations that are done this way in RL, so it's possible, and crazy enough for this show. And regarding the storm, I believe it started around the time was saw Oliver and Sara outside their room, as Sara seemed frightened by it at the time.
ReplyDeleteAnd sorry dude, but for me a life raft is a life boat. English is not my mother taunge and both are called boat in my language.
- Your English is great and I never would have suspected it as a second language if you didn't specifically mention it.
ReplyDelete- What possible reason would make Merlyn to go to such extraordinary lengths to send a crew into the middle of the ocean to rescue the daughter of a detective from a boat that he likely ordered destroyed in the first place? Maybe it would make sense to me if she were the daughter of the Mayor or the Chief of Police but there's no tangible benefit to going to all that trouble to abscond with the daughter of a cop.
Thanks :) I don't think he sent his men to save her, I think they could've accidentally bumped in to her as she fell and took her with them because of her looks or because they pitied her or something like that. I think she is likely to return evil if she is alive, or at least as fucked up as Oliver.
ReplyDelete"I think she is likely to return evil if she is alive, or at least as fucked up as Oliver."
ReplyDeleteNow this I agree with. If she is in fact alive, she's probably really messed up.
Verdant is a fancy word for saying something is green so very original name choice =P. Sounds like a good episode!
ReplyDeleteI don't see how Sara could be alive, but I am interested in how that storyline plays out.
ReplyDeleteShe lost her memory?
ReplyDeleteBit I am with you one this, I don't see how Sara could be alive. And even if she is, how come only now is her mother suspecting that she is alive.
