well I think this time his job will be save if his superior learn about his illegal hacking to the mayor office becuase there would be some evidence of Blood knowing about Moira death
The Arrow people have mentioned him becoming the equivalent of 'Commissioner Gordon' on this show so I'm not sure a move to the private sector is in the cards.
I think maybe Quentin is just committed to fighting crime his own way because, like you said, Starling PD and the DA's office aren't really good at their jobs.
I'm a little surprised they haven't had ARGUS intervene... Considering they know who the Arrow is and they are happy to let him be free and help out on occasion, I would think it might benefit them to have an ally within the police force. If nothing else, it would have been a more interesting way to get Lance out of jail instead of relying on Laurel to threaten the DA (again).
As someone reminded me last week, Amanda Waller and Oliver aren't exactly besties and I don't think she's inclined to do Oliver's people any favors if she doesn't have to. In fact, I remember reading in an upcoming synopsis that Diggle and Waller will go head-to-head about something. So, I expect that relationship to get worse and not better.
But I got the impression from when Oliver told her Slade was alive they have a common enemy in Slade (and he scares he a lot more then Oliver probably ever could)
Yes, but we don't know why she considers Slade an enemy. Waller could end up being pretty damn shady herself. For all I know, she could have been the one on the phone with Fyers in season one.
Well it is television. I mean technically Oliver could have asserted he was under duress when he handed Isabel the keys to Queen Consolidated. Most of the time that sort of thing wouldn't really hold up to scrutiny. Also I'm sure Blood will do something stupid allowing a warrant to come about later and/or he'll die so it won't matter.
Without a doubt. I think she'll be a enemy in future. Also, I thought it was already confirmed it was her on the phone (or I've been reading the wrong people's comments, some people write their opinions like it's already fact)
I'd like to think I'd remember if Arrow revealed that Waller was the one calling Fyers but my memory does have a way of dropping the ball every once in a while so I suppose there's a slight chance it happened and I don't recall.
You're right, I don't trust Amanda Waller but she and Oliver seem to have an uneasy alliance at the moment, at least until they stop Slade... Even if she doesn't want to do any favors for Oliver, though, I would assume that as a US government agency, ARGUS's other agents (e.g. Lyla) would also have the authority to intervene with the police.
Why would the IT guy ask for warrant if it wasn't important. And then we will have Arrow and Laurel breaking into a building that is full with Slade's army to get some proof? Once again the evidence would have been acquired illegally and with the help of the vigilante. And i don't think any superior would appreciate an officer bugging and investigating a mayor. Just makes me think they gonna make blackmailing Laurels superpower.
Minor quibble, but it irks me a bit that Laurel calls him Slade. I don't know, it just sounds a bit overly familiar to me. Maybe call him Slade Wilson or Mr. Wilson like Moira and Thea have.
He was elected as mayor. Elections take time, and being made mayor, takes time after election. So unless they really are not following with time, I think we will have a quick move forward after the funeral.
We pretty much know why she does: he was a a killer for hire, killing innocents. While the Suicide Squad is very "black ops," we also know Waller's character: she wants government to protect people from super-powered criminals and heroes, thinking heroes are just as quick to turn to tyrant when left unopposed. Yet, she is more on the side of heroes than villains, and why in the "future" she eventually reconciles with Bruce Wayne and comes to respect him and his ways to feel the need for a Batman in the future.
I've thought that same thing -- that Quentin would become a PI -- since the ending of Season 1. I think it could be a good direction for his character and get him more involved in the ensemble cast. Now that it seems like Felicity is out of a job.... can she go work for Quentin has his assistant / secretary / undercover hacker in S3 til Oliver gets his finances straightened out? LOL. I'd like that. Heck, Diggle could work there too as security/bodyguard.
I doubt it's many months later - this is Starling City we're talking about, the place where doctors freely disclose medical information to people and where a cop who keeps getting caught working with a vigilante still has a job. Moira's funeral is in this same episode - so it can't be more than a week after she was killed. I can't remember where we are in the election cycle, so either they allowed the elections to be held with no one running against Blood or they had an emergency election, allowing Blood to be voted in. Nothing would surprise me - the city is run by morons.
Yes, and it's a joke how the DA rolled over for Laurel. The first time, okay, she threatened to expose that the DA's office put her life in danger with their trap for Helena. That would've been a disaster for Spencer. But the second time was absurd.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
Quentin's increasingly casual approach to law enforcement is almost as funny as how secure his job is after all the stuff he's pulled.
ReplyDeletei actually expected lance to be back to detective
ReplyDeletewell I expect him to be detective/sgt again if he take down Blood
ReplyDeletehe seem to be willing to risk his job again to take down Blood and I doubt the police would arrest him for uncovering the truth
ReplyDeleteI am beginning to expect him to end up exiting law enforcement and maybe end up as a "private detective" (or something like that).
ReplyDeleteWouldn't Internal Affairs investigate him due to his connection to vigilante?
ReplyDeletehe should be but Laurel made the charges go away so nothing will happen
ReplyDeleteShe made them go away that time, but if he keeps this up they will eventually come after him/his badge again
ReplyDeleteMaybe he's just given up, given the apparent incompetence of the Staling City PD and DA's office.
ReplyDeleteWho says Laurel wont be investigated also and then her little blackmail attempt comes to light also.
ReplyDeletewell I think this time his job will be save if his superior learn about his illegal hacking to the mayor office becuase there would be some evidence of Blood knowing about Moira death
ReplyDeleteThe Arrow people have mentioned him becoming the equivalent of 'Commissioner Gordon' on this show so I'm not sure a move to the private sector is in the cards.
ReplyDeleteI don't think they can use that as evidence if it was acquired without a warrant.
ReplyDeleteI think maybe Quentin is just committed to fighting crime his own way because, like you said, Starling PD and the DA's office aren't really good at their jobs.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he sees the SCPD and DA as corrupt and not doing enough to fight crime that has gotten worse and worse
ReplyDeleteI'm a little surprised they haven't had ARGUS intervene...

ReplyDeleteThat'd be cool. I'm only concerned that it feels natural (and it's Arrow, so they have a good track record, Slade's evil motivation aside)
ReplyDeleteBut I got the impression from when Oliver told her Slade was alive they have a common enemy in Slade (and he scares he a lot more then Oliver probably ever could)
ReplyDeleteI hoping at the end of SF....he become official liasion with the arrow as the city will find accept Arrow as the only one who can stop Slade
ReplyDeleteI don't think the SCPD know anything about ARGUS
ReplyDeleteThey mean the other way around. That ARGUS would intervene in SCPD
ReplyDeleteYes, but we don't know why she considers Slade an enemy. Waller could end up being pretty damn shady herself. For all I know, she could have been the one on the phone with Fyers in season one.
ReplyDeleteNice twist. Hahahahahahah

ReplyDeleteNah, I just checked and you're right (doesn't happen often but I have to stop taking some comments as fact before checking)
ReplyDeleteWhy would the IT guy ask for warrant if it wasn't important. And then we will have Arrow and Laurel breaking into a building that is full with Slade's army to get some proof? Once again the evidence would have been acquired illegally and with the help of the vigilante. And i don't think any superior would appreciate an officer bugging and investigating a mayor. Just makes me think they gonna make blackmailing Laurels superpower.
ReplyDeleteIt's happened to me as well. I had a similar situation with Game of Thrones so I pay a lot less attention to that show's reader comments these days.
ReplyDeleteTime Stamps are not the best proof.
ReplyDeleteMinor quibble, but it irks me a bit that Laurel calls him Slade. I don't know, it just sounds a bit overly familiar to me. Maybe call him Slade Wilson or Mr. Wilson like Moira and Thea have.
ReplyDeleteOne thing... I think this is "many months later." So perhaps, by then, she has had the talk with Oliver, and she has got used to Slade..
ReplyDeleteFinally!!! Geez! And I liked that line, "You're kidding? I voted for him." Lmao
ReplyDeleteHe was elected as mayor. Elections take time, and being made mayor, takes time after election. So unless they really are not following with time, I think we will have a quick move forward after the funeral.

ReplyDeleteLove this show!
ReplyDeleteUnless we have the funeral, and then we are told, "months later"
ReplyDeleteYes, and it's a joke how the DA rolled over for Laurel. The first time, okay, she threatened to expose that the DA's office put her life in danger with their trap for Helena. That would've been a disaster for Spencer. But the second time was absurd.
ReplyDeleteTrue. I hope you're right-a time jump would make the most sense. I'm just too cynical when it comes to this show these days.
ReplyDeleteI understand that; I feel the quality of writing has gone down as AoS's has gone up -- very strange.
