ARROW
“Blast Radius” – (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) (TV-14, LV) (HDTV)
ARROW HUNTS DOWN SHRAPNEL — Oliver must tackle a new threat to the city when bombs start to go off in Starling City. Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) discovers the person setting them off is Mark Sheffner (guest star Sean Maher), a man who goes by the nickname Shrapnel. Arrow discovers Shrapnel’s next target is Sebastian Blood’s (guest star Kevin Alejandro) “Unity Rally” and tries to talk the alderman out of hosting it, but he refuses. Arrow sets off to stop the bombing, but Shrapnel tricks him and traps him in a bomb-laced antique store where he is unable to move without setting off the device. While Felicity helps Oliver, Diggle (David Ramsey) races to the plaza to find the bomb before it goes off. Meanwhile, Roy (Colton Haynes) continues to hide his new strength from Thea (Willa Holland) but, after she witnesses his super strength in action at the rally, she demands answers. Laurel’s (Katie Cassidy) suspicions about Sebastian grow stronger once she learns that he grew up with Cyrus Gold, the man who killed Lance’s (Paul Blackthorne) partner. After Donner (guest Star Dylan Bruce) refuses to help her investigate, she turns to Arrow (Stephen Amell) for help. Rob Hardy directed the episode written by Jake Coburn & Keto Shimizu (#210).

I always enjoy it when Felicity needs to use her intelligence in order to save Oliver.
ReplyDeleteok, i kinda just skimmed it. Didn't read the whole thing...I need to keep my will power. haha i figured It's Christmas eve, so i'll just peek at my present. haha
ReplyDeletethis is pretty long press relese!!! Glad things are heating up on so many fronts.
ReplyDeleteOr you could just pretend that you're in Finland: we open our presents on the 24th. :)
ReplyDeleteDamn you CW, why reveal so much from the plot? Can't we find out about Sharpel tricking Arrow when we see the actual episode? Do we have to find out it will happen from this press release? Oy.
ReplyDeleteSo is Laurel being dropped right in the middle of the story without any development at all? Ehh... I guess they're giving her something to do even if it's out of nowhere?
ReplyDeleteThe episode sounds cool. I wish they wouldn't spoil so much though.
You are the only other finnish person I've spotted at spoilerTV :D Luulin, että olin ainoa!
ReplyDeleteLmao! That was cute. Thank you. But I'm good. : )
ReplyDeleteExcellent! I want to see how Oliver escapes death and what Roy does with all his strength. Arrow never disappoints me! Felicity saving Oliver's life,That's a moment I wouldn't want to miss!
ReplyDeleteKinda like she and Blood suddenly being BFF's who go Christmas-shopping together in the latest episode... I wasn't even sure they knew each other before that.
ReplyDelete*High five*! Olen mie muutaman muun suomalaisen täältä spotannu, mutta aika vähäistä taitaa meidän siniristilippulaisten edustus kuitenki olla. ^^ (Sorry for the Finnish, folks!)
ReplyDeleteStill better than putting Laurel on the Moira trial dispite the obvious conflict just to give her something to do.
ReplyDeleteThey're developing her OFF SCREEN and expecting us to fill in the blanks and catch up. Every episode they change their idea of what Laurel is supposed to do and it only makes her character worse. I don't even know why and when she started dating Blood in the first place, only that she's suddenly doing Christmas shopping with him as if they're super close and now her "suspicion of him grows stronger"? WHAT suspicion???
ReplyDeleteLaurel on the trial was the stupidest thing ever. I still don't understand her logic that being in the trial would help.
ReplyDeleteWell if they werent too busy cooking up moments to just get Felicity in any scene and contrive Oliver/Felicity fluffy scenes maybe they would have had the brains to write something that make sense for Laurel, heck for many of their secondary characters for that matter including Felicity herself. Dont you think so.
ReplyDeleteFinally someone else who isn't blindly following the Oliver Felicity relationship
ReplyDeleteThey stated in the episode we met Blood that they knew each other
ReplyDeleteNah, I don't think so. There's been enough opportunities to write for Laurel and they chose not to, but hey keep blaming Felicity and Olicity since it seems to be the only argument you people can come up with :).
ReplyDeleteso LAurel decide to ask Arrow for help even after she tried to get him arrested by the police.....must be desperate........like her father who ask arrow unoffically for help?
ReplyDeleteAccording to someone who watched the episode, this is a mistake in the press release and she actually turns to Oliver for help, not to Arrow
ReplyDeletehttp://ihearttvsnark.tumblr.com/post/71014883523/voubledision-replied-to-your-post-just-read-the
Sounds like it will be action packed, can't wait! :D
ReplyDeleteSays the person with a Felicity avatar lol
ReplyDeleteOr it could be she is an attorney
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't up to her, but i agree the writers could have done better with that scenario
ReplyDeleteBecause we are not blinded like the Olicity cult clearly is
ReplyDeleteWatch the next episode and find out Laurel hater
ReplyDeleteLaurel, still communicating in any way with Sebastian Blood!... left facepalm... right facepalm...
ReplyDeleteSounds like another action packed episode. Felicity helps Oliver. Diggle on action Go Team Arrow.
ReplyDeleteAt last a glimmer of hope on the Laurel front. At least they are showing her intelligent enough to suspect Blood. I like this story line. Kind of ties every single character except Moira and Malcolm into one event. I sincerely hope Katie Cassidy and Laurel rocks this story line because I badly want to like her (which I just cant right now).
Please CW don't spoil us this much.
So the villain is played by Sean Maher, another genre show alum - Firefly/Serenity's Dr. Simon Tam. He should get a scene with Isabel, a reunion for the Tam siblings. :D
ReplyDeleteOh, must've missed/forgotten that. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAn attorney who would never realistically be allowed to be second chair in a trial involving her ex's mother, let alone try the case herself. This is an example of how little effort the writers ate putting into Laurel's character. There are tons of potential storylines the writers could give her, yet they always resort to the lamest, and in this case least believable ones.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to Blood, if they wanted to do the character justice they should have spent a little time setting up the relationship. Instead it just randomly appears. They don't bother to write Laurel properly.
YES I APPROVE OF THIS :D
ReplyDeleteAnd we saw them together before, though not romantically. He was there as she was working on Moira's trial with her and Kate Spencer, and she talked to him about the way he treated Oliver back in Identity when Oliver had to stop China White and miss his own party.
ReplyDeleteI stand corrected about these two knowing each other, then - the writers did set that up in advance. I still feel the romance sort of popped up out of nowhere, though. When they were shopping, and especially when he showed up at the hospital to check up on Quentin and hugged her, there seemed to be a certain level of familiarity, which I found odd because I wasn't aware they were close.
ReplyDeleteThank-you! I was about to come and say the same thing. The Christmas shopping came out of nowhere. The last time they had a conversation, he was praising crucifixion and publicly tarnishing Oliver, to which she was appalled....then suddenly, episodes later, she is Christmas shopping with him. Not only that, but defending him against Roy and co and seeing nothing amiss. Now she suddenly has suspicions that are growing stronger. Ugh. It is nothing to do with being a hater or a cult follower of Laurel, but the writing for her character has been abysmal. On the other hand, the writing for Felicity has been a million times better. The writers didn't intentionally mean to do it, but therefore inadvertently made her character seem stronger and more dynamic as a result, thus more popular, which necessitated making her more than a guest-star and writing her more central and relevant to the main-arcs. I think anybody not in on Oliver's secret or not working with him regularly as a part of Team Arrow is going to ultimately suffer.
