U had to make the googly eye pic the main one, hadn't U?
A lot of pretty pics there and Lance is back. I'm really intrigued on which note the episode will end and who the heck will play Damien. Wouldn't be surprised for a Ra's twin here!
OH THANK GOD they are smiling at each other. Please be happy by the end of the episode. I really needed those photos. They were such a breath of fresh air after the last two episodes. Barry to the rescue!! Love that smirk lol. The boy just chained several league members and people were doubting his ability to take them down. I can't wait to hear his entrance line haha Why is Felicity's bag this important? What's in it? Nyssa is working with the team. Nice! But is she bandaging Oliver's hand? It's just seems weird and wrong and ooc for both of them. It's his wifey's (that would be Felicity) job. UGH Malcolm is still working with them. They really did redeem him!! Is that scene at the loft a flashback from episode 3x12? Have they been planning all this time? And they never told anyone?!! Plz let me be wrong. Oliver fighting Ra's and they are at the same position as episode 9 when Ra's stabbed him but this time Oliver will turn the situation around and win. This should be awesome. Wait, Quentin is still alive? Who knew! Is he a "good guy" again or?
Oliver brought his new wife back with him from Nanda Parbat. How nice. So does this count as a honeymoon? Also, does the League of Assassins allow annulments? Sorry, I just think this situation is hilarious.
Mind? It was like drinking an ice water glass after walking in the desert for 22 episodes. They are so precious. Now if you'll excuse me I'll go stare at the photo some more.
Husband and wife having a moment. Husband and his true love is having a moment Other woman and her previous man is having a moment Other woman and old crush is having a moment
The most important OTP husband and father in law is having the bestest of moments.
Everyone is in the Palmer Technologies lair. Looks like Thea is going away with Malcolm. Oliver and Tatsu good bye. Quentin lance is not dead.
I can't wait for this episode it looks like it is going to be so good! I like the pics it looks like the team is working together again, I am sure there are still some hurt feelings but at least they are all together and I am liking the fact that Nyssa is sticking around and looks like helping out the team. I think she would be a good addition to team arrow, not there all the time but more like Sara was. Anyone else hoping Lance will be kicking his self and realizing that the city really does need the Arrow by the end of this episode?
I always had an issue with your disgusting sense of humour but it's a free world and you can say what you want with other people but when you talk to me you talk with respect. In fact this is the last time you'll ever talk to me.
I'm on the fence tbh... overall it was an okay setup for next week's episode, but I still have a lot of issues.
First of all I'm annoyed at Oliver trusting Malcolm over Dig and Felicity. All the betrayals and twists in Nanda Parbat were very soapy. The wedding is completely unnecessary and only serves to create tension between Oliver and Felicity, but that tension could've been easily amp'd by the fact that Oliver was keeping they imprisoned, so yeah, there's that. The big fight was okay. I like seeing Malcolm fighting and Diggle as a BAMF but I'm supposed to believe that Laurel can hold her own against not one but at least two member of the LoA at the same time? Felicity tablet stunt was priceless, though. Maseo and Tatsu were my favorites, I ugly cried when he died! I liked that they took some time to give closure to Thea and Roy's relationship and I don't think I've ever seen Colton looking more handsome than last night's episode, so that's definitely a win. I really wish Roy would've kept the suit, but considering that he's not coming back I can understand. Ray Palmer had some great scenes also. I'm definitely digging him.
Even if I knew they wouldn't dare kill four regulars and the protagonist of the spinoff, I was touched by the last scene. The feud between Dig and Oliver is killing me. I'm super worried about their friendship, those issues are not going away this season for sure. So basically that's what I thought. I think the inconsistencies are the same we've been talking about the whole season and everything is kind of underwhelming but I'm really excited about next week!
We are slowly but surely getting our Emerald Archer, Oliver Queen, back. Love that shot of him and Felicity smiling. It's been way too long since we've seen anyone look happy. Barry!!
If Oliver said "I can turn you," I imagine Nyssa's response would be along the lines of "No, you can't. Besides, turning people is my thing. Speaking of which, have you seen Laurel around?"
At first I liked it more, but then I realized Oliver's not that much of a douche. Plus really think Felicity doesn't deserve to be called just a sexual outlet.
Wait so do you mean he and Felicity won't play hide the salami or he and Nyssa, because it's safe to say he's not Nyssa's type. She prefers blondes in black leather.
Ray giving his company away was pretty obvious given his Atom character is appearing in the spinoff. I was waiting for them to announce the twist pretty much.
They made Felicity break up with Ray first before anything happened between them they would never make them do anything while Oliver is "married". That's right sit there and think about what you did.
Well it's a sham marriage that legally doesn't exist different circumstances, but sure. I made a few maybe tasteless jokes. Fine, but you're not my mom. Lol.
That's why I used "" but still it won't look good. I wasn't schooling you. You can say whatever you want just not to me because I hate that kind of joking, that's it.
Hopefully the last time we need to see Felicity cry on the show, I love Felicity but these past episodes were very hard with her character, I miss the bitch with Wifi.
I think if we take the Oliver/Felicity/Ray crap off the table, season 3 it would have been just as bad. Bad writing of plot, bad writing of characters, incoherences all over the place... too much grief, and anger, not enough funny moments.
There wasnt much relationship, it was an identity crisis for most of the characters and that ment drama. It was necessary so Oliver could take a step towards the Emerald Archer. It will be a closure after the first 3 seasons. And like Stephen said: "If you don't give a damn about Oliver's relationships then you don't care what he is fighting for."
Of course, Felicity is going to forgive Oliver right away. Ugh. I want her to be mad for awhile. And I really don't want her to sign the company back over the Oliver. If she does that I will be really P.O.ed.
I wouldn't say Oliver trusted Malcolm over Diggle and Felicity. I would say Oliver used Malcolm for a seriously dangerous mission to protect the ones he love including Diggle and Felicity. Malcolm had the knowledge to infiltrate Nanda Parbat and come and go from there like a smoke. Oliver was ready to put Malcolm's life at risk and not Diggle and Felicity's. I don't see why people don't get it.
Laurel can fight 10 people at a time I don't have a problem with it. They were unable to show a natural progress in her case. It is what it is. I have accepted it. I have more problem with her reaction to Malcolm's presence. She reacts the same way when speaking about Malcolm and speaking about her friend Oliver. That bugs me so much.
The wedding, Diggle's anger, the final stupid cliffhanger everything was so melodramatic it annoyed me so much.
I am seriously annoyed at myself that I am excited for the finale. Why do I do this to myself again and again?
Not necessarily. He was so adorable with Akio and he didn't want Sara in the Arrow Cave because he was afraid she might get hurt. Sure he was super annoyed by Barry and Cisco's cheerfulness and silly nicknames but he never gave the death glare to a girl. He was sweet to Iris. He's a gentleman so you're safe don't worry. Call away lol
I do understand why Malcolm was fundamental to the plan, but I don't get why he felt the need to absolutely exclude Dig and Felicity from the knowledge. I think they ended up in a lot more trouble than if they knew what Oliver was doing. Yes, it was very melodramatic, somethings worked and somethings don't. I think we're excited for this season to be over along with Oliver's awful identity crisis.
He will be back for sure. But I actually want the name Queen back not because of Oliver but because this company is the Queen legacy. Robert Queen established it and it should carry his name.
She should. But after how happy she was about the name change in episode 7 I'm not sure how the writers will handle this. Anyway I was talking about myself. I want the name back for those reasons.
I think Oliver decided to exclude Diggle and Felicity because if his plan goes south everyone involved will be slaughtered by Ra's. And he wanted to protect Diggle and Felicity from that fate. Look at what Ra's did to Thea just because Oliver refused to join LoA. Why wouldn't he try to protect his loved ones? Him being mean to them was his insurance for making sure they were safe. Now Malcolm on the other hand is expendable.
So what do you think the season finale choice will be. I predict Oliver will just let go of the Arrow and Al Sahim persona and will embrace the Oliver Queen part of himself and ride away with Felicity. Diggle and Lyla are going to move away. Laurel is going with Nyssa for sure. Looks like Thea will be slumming with Malcolm one more hiatus (barf) from the packed bag or she might be travelling around the world.
Or do you think Oliver will come to accept the fact that he is both Arrow and Oliver Queen and he can be both together. Logically identity crisis should be resolved with Oliver accepting both parts but where do they have time to resolve the starling city Arrow situation?
I already like most of Felicity and Malcolm's snark at each other. While Diggle and Laurel gets angry, Felicity and Malcolm snark. Its funny. I want to see Malcolm's face when Barry rounds up all those assassins and tie them up together in seconds.
I'm sort of glad that she isn't angry at him because I'm tired of them being at odds. And I don't think Felicity will sign the company back to Oliver (at least I hope not)! I think she'll make it into Queen Inc just to restore the Queen legacy but will still be CEO.
I want to see everything for the first time during the episode. It's going to be so much fun. I saw a hysterical post on Tumblr Arrow: Season 3 ends Me: Thank you releasing me from my prison hahahaha
I hate it when you try to entice me. You and your witchy juju. No I stand firm. Oliver better be a lighter version (a less angsty at least) next season then I will call him Emerald Archer every week. No cool names for you Mr. this season because you emotionally manipulated me.
He suffered?!!! What about my suffering? I sat through two Queen skewer kababs, a horrible love triangle, ooc moments for every character. And more than everything else Oliver and Felicity cried so much this season and stabbed the knife through my heart again and again. So No. No cool names. *Be Strong. Don't look at that puppy eyes**You can do it*
Hey suggest me some cool happy shows like Flash or leverage. Or less angsty action thrillers will also do. I want to marathon one after Arrow season finale like a cleansing for my mind. No comedies though. Not a fan of comedies.
No one suffered more than Olicity shippers this season. They barbecued our hearts but we are still standing. To quote the wise miss Smoak "I realized that I am a lot tougher than I thought". But come on our boy suffered a lot and lost everything EVEN HIS OWN NAME. He frustrated us time and time again but the poor soul was lost and surrounded by impossible situations. Doesn't he deserve our support? He's our hero *sniff sniff*
I love iZombie. Liv, my man Ravi, Lowell, Det. Babino, Major, Peyton.. I love all of them. Initially I thought I would hate Major but he is really cool and they so easily made him a part of the main story line. I am sad it is a limited episode series.
I think it's the other way around. I think he will stop being a vigilante,Digg will abandon the team, laurel will go with Nyssa, etc. Something will happen in 4x01 that will gather everyone together again: maybe Digg went to look for hive and got kidnapped?
Olicity shippers suffered one way. Non Olicity shippers suffered another way. Middle people like me suffered in another frustrating way. So much suffering. They can only rise up from the ashes of season 3 right. Please say it so. If season 4 is like season 3 i will say bye bye.
Fine. I will call him Emerald Archer. Only because I adore him even after all his emotional drama. How beautiful is his smile in these photos?
Not yet but the next season is probably the last one. Right. It's awesome, one of my favourites. Both with a lot of heart and some great funny moments.
If he becomes more like the wise cracking comic book Oliver his and Felicity's dynamics will be so much fun to watch. Add Thea to the mix we will have lot of laughs. Digg will deadpan from the side. I hope Laurel is made more relaxed next season so that she can join in on the fun.
Hmm. Let me think. If you have not watched Leverage you need to get on it right now. Then there is The Librarians. Its a cheese fest. But lots of fun. There are only 8 episodes this season. But we have a season 2 in the works. Do you watch Scorpion on CBS. Now that is a really good show for a procedural. I disliked the pilot. But the rest was really great.
You missed a gem. Leverage has five protagonists. An alcoholic ex insurance agent who is approached by a businessman to pull off a heist from his competing company saying they first stole his blueprints and he needs Nate to steal it back. He also has some brilliant specialist thieves in retainer for Nate to work with. So they do the heist and pull it off. But the guy tries to kill them instead of paying them. So they con the other guy back give the stolen property back and make a lot of money in the process. Then the crooks want to work more with Nate but he is a good guy unlike them so they decide to do the jobs he take to protect people against big corporations by conning them and giving money and assets to their clients.
A robin hood style story with great characters. You will end up laughing so much. And the cons are so creative. The cast is just these 5 guys with some recurring characters once in a while. A talented bunch of actors. Its the best show out there for binge watching. Lot of heart and family feelings there.
It came on TNT. Maybe that's why you missed it. You will adore all the characters. There is no recurring villain in the show. Only major antagonist they have is the character played by Mark Sheppard who is more of a frenemy. He is so funny in this show. I have never loved an ensemble cast as much as I have Leverage.
You check out the pilot and let me know what you think?
Hopefully S4 will be better..my favorite season so far is still S2..it was amazing in pretty much every episode. S3 had so much ups and downs and too much drama, like almost a soap opera..so hopefully S4 will be much as S2 in this aspect..they can do a lot better
Technically, she's not until/unless they actually do something while he's married. After the finale, maybe - well, probably - but for now Felicity is Oliver's ... well, nothing, romantically speaking, actually.
Technically, you are more right than I. I was basing my statement on the eventuality of Oliver and Felicity doing stuff while "married" to Nyssa but that's just speculation for now.
I know, right? I want to see them try to get a divorce - just sitting in front of some government official, and Oliver's all "Look, we didn't sign anything, and I don't think the officiant was certified with any kind of official government or organization, but there was a ceremony and now Felicity says she won't be the other woman so I need you to give me divorce papers, okay?" and Nyssa is standing in the corner of the office, occasionally adding, "I would rather die than stay married to the pretender" and the official has to keep explaining those aren't the only two options.
There are going to be jokes from someone about this, right? Come on, Oliver's great plan involved marrying his dead ex-girlfriend's gay girlfriend who tried to kill him during the ceremony. Someone's got to do some mocking. I really want to see how Nyssa and Oliver's faces when they get teased about this. I bet they're even better than the ones they made when Ra's told them his plan. And those were good faces.
Unless there's some sort of divorce procedure they go through by the end of the episode, then yeah, you're probably be right this time next week. I find this whole thing really funny, but it is a bit of a bummer that after all this, Felicity will technically be his mistress before she's his girlfriend. But also funny. I really can't wait to see how this plays out, this whole weird plot line is so amusing.
Ha! Exactly. The two most serious people on the show got thrown into this ridiculous situation, and if the team doesn't give them crap for it, they're just not doing their jobs. And if the writers don't see the comedic opportunities here, they aren't doing their jobs.
Think getting a divorce will be more difficult because he got married under a different name - Al Sah-him instead of Oliver Queen? I mean, one time I wrote my middle name on one form and not on another form and it took almost three weeks to sort it out. Oh, the nightmare of paperwork that is awaiting him.
I have my doubts that a League of Assassins wedding is legally binding anyway. But yeah. This plot has fallen face first into ridiculous territory so I'm doing okay just finding the humor in it all.
My hope is that the insanity of all this won't be lost on Oliver and Nyssa (the two most uptight people on the show) and get them to loosen up a bit. Let them crack a joke or two at themselves.
Yup. That would be good; they are both very sticks stuck up the you-know-where, and it would be nice for them to be able to laugh about this. Although I'd take it as just being a good way for their friends to poke at them when they get too annoyingly intense. You know, in a "Yeah, well, you ran away and got married in Nanda Parbat, so shut up" kind of way. I just want to see Oliver about to lecture somebody about something, and they go, "Well, all our plans can't be as good as marrying our ex-girlfriend's ex-girlfriend, right, hubby?" and he just runs out of steam. He's always had the "You don't know what I went through on the island" card; now everyone else has the "Your plan was so bad you married someone who hates you and now you can't get out of it" card. Discussions about Felicity's relationship with Ray are going to end with, "Well, at least we didn't get married"; when he lectures Laurel about trusting Nyssa, she'll say "Whatever, you're the one that married her"; when he wants to lecture Diggle about balancing home life and Team Arrow, Diggle will reply, "Oh, I forgot how much you know about marriage. How's the wife, by the way?"; and when he yells at Thea about making a reckless decision, she can remind him "I'm not the one who ran away and got married in some kind of cult ceremony, dude." That works for me.
Yeah ... I don't know how we were meant to see this as anything but funny. If it had happened earlier in the season, there might be something, but the LoA arc is done next episode. If they do capitalize off this and use it for jokes in the coming season, then yay. I'm good with this having happened. Otherwise ... did they really think this was going to land dramatically? Really? Or did they write themselves into a corner and not now how else to save Nyssa? Or change their minds at the last minute about killing Nyssa and not know how to save her?
Whatever. I'm amused and Nyssa's alive, so it's all good.
See, I can't see Malcolm being that awe-struck even with a metahuman. Just something about him doesn't seem like the type that would be surprised in any way. I mean...he was taught under a guy who's immortal through a hot tub.
I think Nyssa is going to kill Ra's, being promoted to the Demon. Then after dealing with the virus in SC Oliver is gonna hang up the hood. The rest of them I have no idea, but your theories make sense. The SC Arrow situation is going to be solved next season or via comic books since usually we pick up 5 months after the finale. That's all I'm gonna theorize because I'm terrible at it!
I personally think this season should have ended with Oliver being happy being both Arrow and Oliver Queen. That would have been the best conclusion to the identity crisis. So now what next time when he is forced to put on the Arrow suit he will have the crisis again? It is all so dumb.
I hope not! Maybe he'll miss being the Arrow or will see how much he's needed. That would be nice too. I just can't take him brooding for another season. Let the guy chill for awhile. I wonder how they will deal with the police being all over the Arrow. That won't go away just because Roy "died". If another Arrow start jumping rooftops things will get messy again. Quentin will probably have a part on this and we'll stop hating him.
They should have solved the who killed Sara drama within 2 episodes and let Oliver join LoA by mid season finale. Then we would have gotten more time to explore the league and even solved the SC situation this season itself. This is why I hate when network shows wait for sweeps to tell good stories.
The pacing this season was all over the place. Arrow would benefit so much from a 13 episodes order. Back to back. We had the same problem last season with filler episodes between the winter break and Slade Wilson actually showing up. They could've at least used this time to develop Laurel's abilities, to let Ray Palmer interact with other characters than just Felicity, maybe even furthering they relationship... But there's that.
so true!! right now i'm loving The flash way more than Arrow. The Flash is doing so good..it's a mix of things: fun, serious stuff, action, romance..we all know Oliver is a tormented hero, but they are going too far with the darkness tone on the show.
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.
Do it Oliver-Kill this SoB!
ReplyDeleteThey didn't die!!! SHOCKER!
ReplyDeleteU had to make the googly eye pic the main one, hadn't U?
ReplyDeleteA lot of pretty pics there and Lance is back. I'm really intrigued on which note the episode will end and who the heck will play Damien. Wouldn't be surprised for a Ra's twin here!
Googly eye pic-Just the description i was going for.Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteThey honestly have no chill.
ReplyDeleteThe way they are pulling it off is just so adorable. I assume they are working on that every day.
ReplyDeleteWow, Quentin is back. That's about time!
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of half-smiles going on here.
ReplyDeleteSo Barry/The Flash saves Felicity, Diggle, Laurel, and Malcom !!!!
ReplyDeleteBarry is always Handsome :)
ReplyDeleteOH THANK GOD they are smiling at each other. Please be happy by the end of the episode. I really needed those photos. They were such a breath of fresh air after the last two episodes.
ReplyDeleteBarry to the rescue!! Love that smirk lol. The boy just chained several league members and people were doubting his ability to take them down. I can't wait to hear his entrance line haha
Why is Felicity's bag this important? What's in it?
Nyssa is working with the team. Nice! But is she bandaging Oliver's hand? It's just seems weird and wrong and ooc for both of them. It's his wifey's (that would be Felicity) job.
UGH Malcolm is still working with them. They really did redeem him!!
Is that scene at the loft a flashback from episode 3x12? Have they been planning all this time? And they never told anyone?!! Plz let me be wrong.
Oliver fighting Ra's and they are at the same position as episode 9 when Ra's stabbed him but this time Oliver will turn the situation around and win. This should be awesome.
Wait, Quentin is still alive? Who knew! Is he a "good guy" again or?
That's a lot of pictures for the finale. I am assuming Damian Darhk won't be introduced until next season. Now where are the other promos???
ReplyDeleteOliver brought his new wife back with him from Nanda Parbat. How nice. So does this count as a honeymoon? Also, does the League of Assassins allow annulments? Sorry, I just think this situation is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteand Ray
ReplyDeleteWho?
ReplyDeleteMalcolm standing at a Palmer tech computer....this can't end well for the financing departement :P
ReplyDeleteOr he's just admiring his own reflection in the screen.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that the Olicity googly eyes photo was the main photo was all kinds of awesome. It made me grin so widely.
ReplyDeleteBarry creeping there though xD
ReplyDeleteHow Ray ?
ReplyDeleteHe is locked up too. He'll help once Barry breaks them out of the virus infused prison.
Good to see you thEre Quentin.
ReplyDeleteIn "normal" clothes yes. But in the suit he looks like he escaped from hunger( Serbian saying). I fear a stronger wind would take him to Oz.
ReplyDeleteRay signed over his company to Felicity in the last episode right ?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure U don't mind. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThey look sweet.
Yeah. Her first act as CEO should be changing the company name back!
ReplyDeleteMind? It was like drinking an ice water glass after walking in the desert for 22 episodes. They are so precious. Now if you'll excuse me I'll go stare at the photo some more.
ReplyDeleteCannot wait to watch this episode. I did hear that Oliver and Felicity leave the city together.
ReplyDeleteHusband and wife having a moment.
ReplyDeleteHusband and his true love is having a moment
Other woman and her previous man is having a moment
Other woman and old crush is having a moment
The most important OTP husband and father in law is having the bestest of moments.
Everyone is in the Palmer Technologies lair. Looks like Thea is going away with Malcolm. Oliver and Tatsu good bye. Quentin lance is not dead.
I can't wait for this episode it looks like it is going to be so good! I like the pics it looks like the team is working together again, I am sure there are still some hurt feelings but at least they are all together and I am liking the fact that Nyssa is sticking around and looks like helping out the team. I think she would be a good addition to team arrow, not there all the time but more like Sara was. Anyone else hoping Lance will be kicking his self and realizing that the city really does need the Arrow by the end of this episode?
ReplyDeleteUnless Ray signed it over to Oliver.
ReplyDeleteWill you love ( okay like ) him if he does this Koky ?
So sweet <3
ReplyDeleteHmmmm interesting question. I would hate him less but like no, mainly because I hate the way he bought the company.
ReplyDeleteIt was definetely to Felicity. I read the first page.
ReplyDeletelol
ReplyDeleteHe's leaving soon and he signed over the company to Felicity. Maybe time to move past all the hate?
ReplyDeleteNope. My reasons for hating him still stand.
ReplyDeleteHey Julie... How did you like ep 22? Were you annoyed like me? Or did you enjoy the episode?
ReplyDelete"Oh, don't I look fabulous"
ReplyDelete"You're a sociopath and a liar...but I'd totally bang you"
no, you mentioned Felicity, Dig, Laurel and Malcolm and forgot to mention Ray
ReplyDeletethe guy your subconcious so desperately wants to bang ;P
ReplyDeleteKoky you didn't think Ray taking down that plane wasn't awesome ?
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't make a difference really.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought it was until he got hit by that rocket and didn't even get a scratch.
ReplyDeleteI always had an issue with your disgusting sense of humour but it's a free world and you can say what you want with other people but when you talk to me you talk with respect. In fact this is the last time you'll ever talk to me.
ReplyDeleteNope not at all.
ReplyDeleteI'm on the fence tbh... overall it was an okay setup for next week's episode, but I still have a lot of issues.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I'm annoyed at Oliver trusting Malcolm over Dig and Felicity. All the betrayals and twists in Nanda Parbat were very soapy.

The big fight was okay. I like seeing Malcolm fighting and Diggle as a BAMF but I'm supposed to believe that Laurel can hold her own against not one but at least two member of the LoA at the same time? Felicity tablet stunt was priceless, though.
Maseo and Tatsu were my favorites, I ugly cried when he died! I liked that they took some time to give closure to Thea and Roy's relationship and I don't think I've ever seen Colton looking more handsome than last night's episode, so that's definitely a win. I really wish Roy would've kept the suit, but considering that he's not coming back I can understand. Ray Palmer had some great scenes also. I'm definitely digging him.
Even if I knew they wouldn't dare kill four regulars and the protagonist of the spinoff, I was touched by the last scene. The feud between Dig and Oliver is killing me. I'm super worried about their friendship, those issues are not going away this season for sure.
So basically that's what I thought. I think the inconsistencies are the same we've been talking about the whole season and everything is kind of underwhelming but I'm really excited about next week!
Barry: "So....need my help?"
ReplyDeleteI just want some kind of banter between him and Malcolm.
Man a wife, a mistress and a illegitimate child, Oliver is about ready to run for Senate.
ReplyDeleteMalcolm's reaction to a Speedster would be cool.
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone doubt Barry, he's Barry f*cking Allen.
ReplyDeleteA little trollish today, aren't we Mac?
ReplyDeleteOllie's like "I can turn you." and Nyssa just wants him dead until they can get a divorce, lmao.
ReplyDeleteOr change it to Queen Inc like that Flash easter egg, or more like New 52 and make it Q Core.
ReplyDeleteNo it must become Queen Industries.
ReplyDeleteThat's disgusting? I apologize if this was what took it too far but...well...ummm...sorry?
ReplyDelete(don't watch Game of Thrones then)
a bit, i was feeling the itch
ReplyDeleteWe are slowly but surely getting our Emerald Archer, Oliver Queen, back. Love that shot of him and Felicity smiling. It's been way too long since we've seen anyone look happy. Barry!!
ReplyDeleteThe point is it should be Queen.
ReplyDeleteQueen anything but Queen.
ReplyDeleteI think that would make Oliver an honorary Kennedy.
ReplyDeleteTake that word back.
ReplyDeleteSunsets and Porsche's.......
ReplyDeleteSo what happens now does Ollie and Nysa have to go to a divorce lawyer? It sounded official in last nights episode.
ReplyDeleteThat too,
ReplyDeletethey'll stay married of course
ReplyDeleteNo. I find it too much fun making jokes about political ethics and to do so he must have those three at least.
ReplyDeleteIf Oliver said "I can turn you," I imagine Nyssa's response would be along the lines of "No, you can't. Besides, turning people is my thing. Speaking of which, have you seen Laurel around?"
ReplyDeleteEmerald Archer (two thumbs up), you are on fire lol
ReplyDeleteDon't you ever call Felicity that word again. Take it back!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying really hard not to get too excited about some of the pics.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Koky! You as well :)
ReplyDeleteYou will fail miserably. Just like me lol
ReplyDeleteGirlfriend? Oh you saw my mistress one didn't one. Yeah I changed that.
ReplyDeleteYou know I am proud that I started this movement lol
ReplyDeleteYep. Totally. lol
ReplyDeleteYeah, didn't see the change. Cool.
ReplyDeleteAt first I liked it more, but then I realized Oliver's not that much of a douche. Plus really think Felicity doesn't deserve to be called just a sexual outlet.
ReplyDeleteEmbrace the happiness. We have been suffering all season, we earned this, even if it's temporary. We needed a pick me up after last night.
ReplyDeleteSo no Merlyn- Palmer Tech Global?
ReplyDeleteExactly and nothing happened between them (and nothing will) while he's "married".
ReplyDelete*death glare*
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering what will happen with their marriage, too.
ReplyDeleteWait so do you mean he and Felicity won't play hide the salami or he and Nyssa, because it's safe to say he's not Nyssa's type. She prefers blondes in black leather.
ReplyDeleteReally? You too? After my last comment to Mac?
ReplyDeleteLol. What about if I threw a Smoak in there. Jk jk.
ReplyDeleteYou really want to make it more effective put Laurel's name in there too.
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say but, ain't I a stinker?
ReplyDeleteGot it. Merlyn Palmer Lance Thawne Global Technologies.
ReplyDeleteNo comment.
ReplyDeleteTaking on the league, please he could take Oliver down if he wanted too.
ReplyDeleteYep, definitely. But at the same time, I'm trying not to get my hope up too much
ReplyDeleteI found it funny the league of assasin must have kept all their guns, weapons store somewhere and the team just happen to retrieve them.....
ReplyDeleteI stopped hoping all together a while ago. I just take what little pieces of happiness they throw my way.
ReplyDeleteYou're in a time out.
ReplyDeleteIt's not like Oliver couldn't beat him. Every superhero could beat another.
ReplyDeleteOh well now I gotta give credit where credit is due ;)
ReplyDeleteRay giving his company away was pretty obvious given his Atom character is appearing in the spinoff. I was waiting for them to announce the twist pretty much.
ReplyDeleteYeah that's true but that's not the reason for the time out. You know I don't like that kind of joking.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair I was only kind of joking. But fine I'll sit in the corner.
ReplyDeleteThey made Felicity break up with Ray first before anything happened between them they would never make them do anything while Oliver is "married". That's right sit there and think about what you did.
ReplyDeleteIt would piss off non Olicity fan if this happen. I dn' think they are going to risk losing fan support and ratings......
ReplyDeleteWell it's a sham marriage that legally doesn't exist different circumstances, but sure. I made a few maybe tasteless jokes. Fine, but you're not my mom. Lol.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I used "" but still it won't look good. I wasn't schooling you. You can say whatever you want just not to me because I hate that kind of joking, that's it.
ReplyDeletewhy would it piss them off. Let them have a vacation. Jesus its hiatus time.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the last time we need to see Felicity cry on the show, I love Felicity but these past episodes were very hard with her character, I miss the bitch with Wifi.
ReplyDeleteI think you should have kept it because it's technically correct.
ReplyDeletebecause some has said it has made season 3 worse......too much relationship and not enough on the plot/league/Ra's
ReplyDeleteso MG had said in that EW article it will wrapped not season 3 but 1 and 2 as well? So birth of green arrow?
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm hoping for!
ReplyDeleteWhy would it piss people off? He loves her!
ReplyDeleteTrue, but for PR purposes.
ReplyDeleteI think if we take the Oliver/Felicity/Ray crap off the table, season 3 it would have been just as bad. Bad writing of plot, bad writing of characters, incoherences all over the place... too much grief, and anger, not enough funny moments.
ReplyDeleteIt was a really really bad season.
There wasnt much relationship, it was an identity crisis for most of the characters and that ment drama. It was necessary so Oliver could take a step towards the Emerald Archer. It will be a closure after the first 3 seasons. And like Stephen said: "If you don't give a damn about Oliver's relationships then you don't care what he is fighting for."
ReplyDelete"Thanks... I't totally bang Oliver"
ReplyDeleteFair enough. It's not worth the hassle anyway.
ReplyDeleteWhere is Tatsu? why isnt she escaping with them? Im afraid :(
ReplyDeleteshe probably there but not return to Starling with them
ReplyDeleteLove you, Barry :) Actually now, I must admit, I'm more into "The Flash" than "The Arrow" :)
ReplyDeleteMore Olicity... ? Sorry, never understodd that couple.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that every body feels it easy to call Oliver Emrald Archer. I am scared of Oliver's broody reaction to it.
ReplyDeleteI want Malcolm to be super surprised like Diggle.
ReplyDeleteOf course, Felicity is going to forgive Oliver right away. Ugh. I want her to be mad for awhile. And I really don't want her to sign the company back over the Oliver. If she does that I will be really P.O.ed.
ReplyDeleteOh come on you know that underneath all that brooding lies a huge teddy bear lol
ReplyDeleteThank you thank you *bows*
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't say Oliver trusted Malcolm over Diggle and Felicity. I would say Oliver used Malcolm for a seriously dangerous mission to protect the ones he love including Diggle and Felicity. Malcolm had the knowledge to infiltrate Nanda Parbat and come and go from there like a smoke. Oliver was ready to put Malcolm's life at risk and not Diggle and Felicity's. I don't see why people don't get it.
ReplyDeleteLaurel can fight 10 people at a time I don't have a problem with it. They were unable to show a natural progress in her case. It is what it is. I have accepted it. I have more problem with her reaction to Malcolm's presence. She reacts the same way when speaking about Malcolm and speaking about her friend Oliver. That bugs me so much.
The wedding, Diggle's anger, the final stupid cliffhanger everything was so melodramatic it annoyed me so much.
I am seriously annoyed at myself that I am excited for the finale. Why do I do this to myself again and again?
Please only if I was Felicity or Thea. He will surely punch me in the face for calling him that.
ReplyDeleteYou excited for a happy ending Koky? THis damn photos and 1 min promo has made me excited again. I hate this emotional manipulation by Arrow.
Wouldn't it be so much more awesome if Malcolm just said "You can run fast; cute.", lol.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it make some sense to not associate the word 'Queen' if Felicity stays in that position and not give it to Ollie, though?
ReplyDeleteNot necessarily. He was so adorable with Akio and he didn't want Sara in the Arrow Cave because he was afraid she might get hurt. Sure he was super annoyed by Barry and Cisco's cheerfulness and silly nicknames but he never gave the death glare to a girl. He was sweet to Iris. He's a gentleman so you're safe don't worry. Call away lol
ReplyDeleteI didn't see the promo but the photos got me so excited. I BELIEVE! lol
ReplyDeleteI do understand why Malcolm was fundamental to the plan, but I don't get why he felt the need to absolutely exclude Dig and Felicity from the knowledge. I think they ended up in a lot more trouble than if they knew what Oliver was doing.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was very melodramatic, somethings worked and somethings don't.
I think we're excited for this season to be over along with Oliver's awful identity crisis.
He will be back for sure. But I actually want the name Queen back not because of Oliver but because this company is the Queen legacy. Robert Queen established it and it should carry his name.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should try doing that.
ReplyDeleteWould Felicity care that much though?
ReplyDeleteShe should. But after how happy she was about the name change in episode 7 I'm not sure how the writers will handle this. Anyway I was talking about myself. I want the name back for those reasons.
ReplyDeleteI think Oliver decided to exclude Diggle and Felicity because if his plan goes south everyone involved will be slaughtered by Ra's. And he wanted to protect Diggle and Felicity from that fate. Look at what Ra's did to Thea just because Oliver refused to join LoA. Why wouldn't he try to protect his loved ones? Him being mean to them was his insurance for making sure they were safe. Now Malcolm on the other hand is expendable.
ReplyDeleteSo what do you think the season finale choice will be. I predict Oliver will just let go of the Arrow and Al Sahim persona and will embrace the Oliver Queen part of himself and ride away with Felicity. Diggle and Lyla are going to move away. Laurel is going with Nyssa for sure. Looks like Thea will be slumming with Malcolm one more hiatus (barf) from the packed bag or she might be travelling around the world.
Or do you think Oliver will come to accept the fact that he is both Arrow and Oliver Queen and he can be both together. Logically identity crisis should be resolved with Oliver accepting both parts but where do they have time to resolve the starling city Arrow situation?
Promo is not that much spoilery. I bow down to your resolve.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should try once and see. Nah. I will wait for him to be less broody pants next season to call him that.
ReplyDeleteI already like most of Felicity and Malcolm's snark at each other. While Diggle and Laurel gets angry, Felicity and Malcolm snark. Its funny. I want to see Malcolm's face when Barry rounds up all those assassins and tie them up together in seconds.
ReplyDeleteI'm sort of glad that she isn't angry at him because I'm tired of them being at odds. And I don't think Felicity will sign the company back to Oliver (at least I hope not)! I think she'll make it into Queen Inc just to restore the Queen legacy but will still be CEO.
ReplyDeleteSuit yourself you're missing all the fun though lol
ReplyDeleteI want to see everything for the first time during the episode. It's going to be so much fun.
ReplyDeleteI saw a hysterical post on Tumblr
Arrow: Season 3 ends
Me: Thank you releasing me from my prison
hahahaha
Honestly I don't think Oliver would want the company back from Felicity this soon.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when you try to entice me. You and your witchy juju. No I stand firm. Oliver better be a lighter version (a less angsty at least) next season then I will call him Emerald Archer every week. No cool names for you Mr. this season because you emotionally manipulated me.
ReplyDeleteAll the suffering he's been through and he doesn't even get to have a cool nickname? He's not the Arrow anymore. Why do you hate him? *puppy dog eyes*
ReplyDeleteLOL Damn it. We are all Maseo's. I surely felt like him by the end of last episode.
ReplyDeleteI think I aged years during this season.
ReplyDeleteHe suffered?!!! What about my suffering? I sat through two Queen skewer kababs, a horrible love triangle, ooc moments for every character. And more than everything else Oliver and Felicity cried so much this season and stabbed the knife through my heart again and again. So No. No cool names.
ReplyDelete*Be Strong. Don't look at that puppy eyes**You can do it*
Hey suggest me some cool happy shows like Flash or leverage. Or less angsty action thrillers will also do. I want to marathon one after Arrow season finale like a cleansing for my mind. No comedies though. Not a fan of comedies.
ReplyDeleteNo one suffered more than Olicity shippers this season. They barbecued our hearts but we are still standing. To quote the wise miss Smoak "I realized that I am a lot tougher than I thought". But come on our boy suffered a lot and lost everything EVEN HIS OWN NAME. He frustrated us time and time again but the poor soul was lost and surrounded by impossible situations. Doesn't he deserve our support? He's our hero *sniff sniff*
ReplyDeleteYou watch iZombie?
ReplyDeleteI love iZombie. Liv, my man Ravi, Lowell, Det. Babino, Major, Peyton.. I love all of them. Initially I thought I would hate Major but he is really cool and they so easily made him a part of the main story line. I am sad it is a limited episode series.
ReplyDeleteI think it's the other way around. I think he will stop being a vigilante,Digg will abandon the team, laurel will go with Nyssa, etc.
ReplyDeleteSomething will happen in 4x01 that will gather everyone together again: maybe Digg went to look for hive and got kidnapped?
Yeah same. Ok let me think. Wait what about Haven? Do you watch it?
ReplyDeleteOlicity shippers suffered one way. Non Olicity shippers suffered another way. Middle people like me suffered in another frustrating way. So much suffering. They can only rise up from the ashes of season 3 right. Please say it so. If season 4 is like season 3 i will say bye bye.
ReplyDeleteFine. I will call him Emerald Archer. Only because I adore him even after all his emotional drama. How beautiful is his smile in these photos?
Is it already finished? It was on Syfy right? Is it good? Supernatural or Sci fi?
ReplyDeleteI'm very hopeful for season 4. Stephen said that Oliver will be smiling more. He'll be more like the comic version of GA.
ReplyDeleteYAAAY *claps like a child* It's soo adorable. Did you see the dimpled smile in 3x20? How can you stay mad at him. It's our Oliver :D :D
Not yet but the next season is probably the last one. Right. It's awesome, one of my favourites. Both with a lot of heart and some great funny moments.
ReplyDeleteI will try it out this hellatus.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Let me know what you think. You suggest something for me. Nothing too dramatic or too dark.
ReplyDeleteIf he becomes more like the wise cracking comic book Oliver his and Felicity's dynamics will be so much fun to watch. Add Thea to the mix we will have lot of laughs. Digg will deadpan from the side. I hope Laurel is made more relaxed next season so that she can join in on the fun.
ReplyDeleteWe are still talking about Arrow here. It will be "lighter" not turn into sitcom lol
ReplyDeleteHmm. Let me think. If you have not watched Leverage you need to get on it right now. Then there is The Librarians. Its a cheese fest. But lots of fun. There are only 8 episodes this season. But we have a season 2 in the works.
ReplyDeleteDo you watch Scorpion on CBS. Now that is a really good show for a procedural. I disliked the pilot. But the rest was really great.
Give me a brief summary of Leverage.
ReplyDeleteBut they will go back to enjoying their missions right?
ReplyDeleteThat's the dream.
ReplyDeleteYou missed a gem. Leverage has five protagonists. An alcoholic ex insurance agent who is approached by a businessman to pull off a heist from his competing company saying they first stole his blueprints and he needs Nate to steal it back. He also has some brilliant specialist thieves in retainer for Nate to work with. So they do the heist and pull it off. But the guy tries to kill them instead of paying them. So they con the other guy back give the stolen property back and make a lot of money in the process.
ReplyDeleteThen the crooks want to work more with Nate but he is a good guy unlike them so they decide to do the jobs he take to protect people against big corporations by conning them and giving money and assets to their clients.
A robin hood style story with great characters. You will end up laughing so much. And the cons are so creative. The cast is just these 5 guys with some recurring characters once in a while. A talented bunch of actors. Its the best show out there for binge watching. Lot of heart and family feelings there.
How did I miss this show? I love those con shows. I'm sold.
ReplyDeleteIt came on TNT. Maybe that's why you missed it. You will adore all the characters. There is no recurring villain in the show. Only major antagonist they have is the character played by Mark Sheppard who is more of a frenemy. He is so funny in this show. I have never loved an ensemble cast as much as I have Leverage.
ReplyDeleteYou check out the pilot and let me know what you think?
Just read its description on imdb, really excited. Sure thing. Off to look it up.....
ReplyDeleteMe too.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I was wondering. Either that or make a new one, a combination of some sort maybe.

LOL Nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you ma'am *tips hat*
ReplyDeleteHopefully S4 will be better..my favorite season so far is still S2..it was amazing in pretty much every episode. S3 had so much ups and downs and too much drama, like almost a soap opera..so hopefully S4 will be much as S2 in this aspect..they can do a lot better
ReplyDeleteTechnically, she's not until/unless they actually do something while he's married. After the finale, maybe - well, probably - but for now Felicity is Oliver's ... well, nothing, romantically speaking, actually.
ReplyDeletelol i really love this place.
ReplyDeleteTechnically, you are more right than I. I was basing my statement on the eventuality of Oliver and Felicity doing stuff while "married" to Nyssa but that's just speculation for now.
ReplyDeleteI know, right? I want to see them try to get a divorce - just sitting in front of some government official, and Oliver's all "Look, we didn't sign anything, and I don't think the officiant was certified with any kind of official government or organization, but there was a ceremony and now Felicity says she won't be the other woman so I need you to give me divorce papers, okay?" and Nyssa is standing in the corner of the office, occasionally adding, "I would rather die than stay married to the pretender" and the official has to keep explaining those aren't the only two options.
ReplyDeleteThere are going to be jokes from someone about this, right? Come on, Oliver's great plan involved marrying his dead ex-girlfriend's gay girlfriend who tried to kill him during the ceremony. Someone's got to do some mocking. I really want to see how Nyssa and Oliver's faces when they get teased about this. I bet they're even better than the ones they made when Ra's told them his plan. And those were good faces.
Unless there's some sort of divorce procedure they go through by the end of the episode, then yeah, you're probably be right this time next week. I find this whole thing really funny, but it is a bit of a bummer that after all this, Felicity will technically be his mistress before she's his girlfriend. But also funny. I really can't wait to see how this plays out, this whole weird plot line is so amusing.
ReplyDeleteOh, god. There had better be jokes. Lots of jokes. I want at least one "I'll have to ask my wife first" joke.
ReplyDeleteHa! Exactly. The two most serious people on the show got thrown into this ridiculous situation, and if the team doesn't give them crap for it, they're just not doing their jobs. And if the writers don't see the comedic opportunities here, they aren't doing their jobs.
ReplyDeleteThink getting a divorce will be more difficult because he got married under a different name - Al Sah-him instead of Oliver Queen? I mean, one time I wrote my middle name on one form and not on another form and it took almost three weeks to sort it out. Oh, the nightmare of paperwork that is awaiting him.
I have my doubts that a League of Assassins wedding is legally binding anyway. But yeah. This plot has fallen face first into ridiculous territory so I'm doing okay just finding the humor in it all.
ReplyDeleteMy hope is that the insanity of all this won't be lost on Oliver and Nyssa (the two most uptight people on the show) and get them to loosen up a bit. Let them crack a joke or two at themselves.
ReplyDeleteYup. That would be good; they are both very sticks stuck up the you-know-where, and it would be nice for them to be able to laugh about this. Although I'd take it as just being a good way for their friends to poke at them when they get too annoyingly intense. You know, in a "Yeah, well, you ran away and got married in Nanda Parbat, so shut up" kind of way. I just want to see Oliver about to lecture somebody about something, and they go, "Well, all our plans can't be as good as marrying our ex-girlfriend's ex-girlfriend, right, hubby?" and he just runs out of steam. He's always had the "You don't know what I went through on the island" card; now everyone else has the "Your plan was so bad you married someone who hates you and now you can't get out of it" card. Discussions about Felicity's relationship with Ray are going to end with, "Well, at least we didn't get married"; when he lectures Laurel about trusting Nyssa, she'll say "Whatever, you're the one that married her"; when he wants to lecture Diggle about balancing home life and Team Arrow, Diggle will reply, "Oh, I forgot how much you know about marriage. How's the wife, by the way?"; and when he yells at Thea about making a reckless decision, she can remind him "I'm not the one who ran away and got married in some kind of cult ceremony, dude." That works for me.
ReplyDeleteYeah ... I don't know how we were meant to see this as anything but funny. If it had happened earlier in the season, there might be something, but the LoA arc is done next episode. If they do capitalize off this and use it for jokes in the coming season, then yay. I'm good with this having happened. Otherwise ... did they really think this was going to land dramatically? Really? Or did they write themselves into a corner and not now how else to save Nyssa? Or change their minds at the last minute about killing Nyssa and not know how to save her?
ReplyDeleteWhatever. I'm amused and Nyssa's alive, so it's all good.
I wonder how those chained Assassin guards will explain the Flash to the boss. LOL
ReplyDeleteSee, I can't see Malcolm being that awe-struck even with a metahuman. Just something about him doesn't seem like the type that would be surprised in any way. I mean...he was taught under a guy who's immortal through a hot tub.
ReplyDeleteShe'll turn it into Felicity Corp, lol.
ReplyDeleteExactly.
ReplyDeletebtw, i want Oliver be the CEO, like the Green Arrow comics.
+ Stephen said that Oliver's training will be a part of S4.
ReplyDeleteS4 sounds good. :D "Green Arrow" i love this name. ^_^
I think Nyssa is going to kill Ra's, being promoted to the Demon. Then after dealing with the virus in SC Oliver is gonna hang up the hood. The rest of them I have no idea, but your theories make sense.
ReplyDeleteThe SC Arrow situation is going to be solved next season or via comic books since usually we pick up 5 months after the finale.
That's all I'm gonna theorize because I'm terrible at it!
I personally think this season should have ended with Oliver being happy being both Arrow and Oliver Queen. That would have been the best conclusion to the identity crisis. So now what next time when he is forced to put on the Arrow suit he will have the crisis again? It is all so dumb.
ReplyDeleteTrue. He might even look down upon Barry. The Jerk!!
ReplyDeleteWe are all hoping for the same. Arrow fandom is the one where even after repeated mistakes we always hope for better things to happen.
ReplyDeleteI hope not! Maybe he'll miss being the Arrow or will see how much he's needed. That would be nice too. I just can't take him brooding for another season. Let the guy chill for awhile.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how they will deal with the police being all over the Arrow. That won't go away just because Roy "died". If another Arrow start jumping rooftops things will get messy again. Quentin will probably have a part on this and we'll stop hating him.
They should have solved the who killed Sara drama within 2 episodes and let Oliver join LoA by mid season finale. Then we would have gotten more time to explore the league and even solved the SC situation this season itself. This is why I hate when network shows wait for sweeps to tell good stories.
ReplyDeleteThe pacing this season was all over the place. Arrow would benefit so much from a 13 episodes order. Back to back. We had the same problem last season with filler episodes between the winter break and Slade Wilson actually showing up. They could've at least used this time to develop Laurel's abilities, to let Ray Palmer interact with other characters than just Felicity, maybe even furthering they relationship... But there's that.
ReplyDeleteso true!! right now i'm loving The flash way more than Arrow. The Flash is doing so good..it's a mix of things: fun, serious stuff, action, romance..we all know Oliver is a tormented hero, but they are going too far with the darkness tone on the show.
ReplyDelete
