  1. I am right with you. I think I am feeling grumpy about the show and it is hurting my enjoyment of other writers' take on the characters.
  2. Going back to the Felicity code name. It would be awesome if they used Athena. Project Athena is the name of MIT's computing environment. So it would be perfect for her - but not sure how many of the writing staff know anything real about MIT.
  3. Yeah the words certainly say that and I expect that is what they are going for. I am more talking about the tone of SA's voice. When he plays flashback Oliver his voice is higher pitched. And that clip just brought me to "mom I got a girl pregnant" version of Oliver, based on just the sound of his voice.
  4. My concern from the trailer is the return of whiny and pre-island Oliver. Did anyone else think it sounded like pre-island Oliver when he says "the only things I brought back from the island are pain, suffering and darkness". I think I am in the dark!Oliver is better camp.
  5. I don't think DC would let them kill Shrieve. Wouldn't that kill any Creature Commandos movie, TV? I think maybe Diggle could die and they could use the LP. that would add more to the Diggle/ Oliver conflict for S4. I really can't think of a second named character after Ra's that I could see them killing. I can only guess the death does not stick.
  6. The marriage will only continue as long as there is someone/thing to enforce it. So MG isn't going to want to spoil if Ra's temains or if Oliver is evil. and earlier he didn't want to spoil if it was a love marriage or some plot contrived marriage. So I don't take much stock in him not knowing if it would continue into S4 *wink*. I do look forward to felicity teasing oliver about his first wife. Or I hope back from the dead Sara teasing Nyssa.
  7. I feel more confused, and like I missed some episodes than shocked, surprised. Not sure how I feel about the episode yet - I was rivited watching it, but I don't have an urge to rewatch and I am not sure I care how/if TA survives. It's kind of like when you are reading a fan fic and the characters are really OOC it just snaps you out of being interested in the story. So I guess I am thinking they went too far trying to shock. Sometimes we all want to see the predicable, fun, in character but with a small twist.
  8. I think that's where Malcolm's statement about them being bad actors comes in. Seems like Malcolm and Oliver had a plan, they didn't clue in TA because they were worried they could not sell it. Then TA doesn't believe Malcolm and Tatsu needs to convince them.
  9. I think the clip is a good one to show. It doesn't tell us a lot more than we already suspected. We had subtle clues Oliver was faking and now there is a lot of excitement that those clues were real and not mistakes. I don't like that Maseo gave the A/O to Ra's but Maseo, Oliver, Tatsu, ARGUS and Triad are the only groups we know have knowledge of the A/O and Maseo is the only one associated with the League so it makes sense that Maseo brought it - I am guessing he did it hoping he could save Akio. Based on the flashbacks Maseo is key to the story so either Maseo brought it to Ra's or he found out Ra's had it and decided he needed to stop him from using it and asked Oliver for help. Maseo's actions so far have been evil except to help Oliver in a few cases. So though I would rather Maseo and Oliver were working together it seems more that Maseo is mostly Ra's lackey rather than faking that.
  10. I have been trying to think of the craziest suprise twists I can think of. So far 1. Sara is alive, faked her death and is working with maseo. Maseo found out Ra's had the alpha and omega and sent Sara to tell oliver. 2. Ras unleashes the alpha and omega on starling and oliver contacts Barry to reverse time to fix it 3. Nyssa and Malcolm have been working together and planned this to force Oliver to help them so they could take over the league
  11. Thanks for the suggestions. Sounds like there are a few options.
  12. I need a suggestion of something to bing watch to distract me from looking for spoilers and clues constantly on Arrow. Will Outlander make me grumpy and frustrated? I haven't had much luck getting into Daredevil - it's ok but I am on episode 3 and I am not fealing it yet. Does it get better? Agents of Shield? I watched the first 5 or so but got bored. I heard it got better at the end of last season but I need some confirmation that it is worth my effort and when I should jump in, can I skip any? My last obsession before this was Nikita, and long ago Alias, farscape, Babylon 5 etc.
  13. I wonder who Malcom's "contacts" are. Is he working with Maseo? Or maybe he and Oliver are working together - fake brainwashing and give TA only the information they need to put the plan into action. Seems like Malcom tells TA about the wedding or the bio weapon next week. It would help my speculation to know which... I think the most drama for next season would be if Oliver is faking it. The hinted falling out between Oliver and Diggle seems forced if brainwashed Oliver is the only one that betrays Diggle. If he was brainwashed, Oliver would spend season 4 like thea, and Roy feeling guilty for something he had no control over but his friends would be saying "not your fault - get over it." But if it was Oliver in control then they would have a genuine disagreement on if the ends justify the means, if the team should have been let in on the plan, if Oliver was too arrogant that he could control the situation without it blowing up etc. the wedding is also less disgusting to me if it is used to make Oliver and Nyssa able to be allies and allow them to scheme and plot without arising suspicion -ideally he would let her in on the plan before the wedding but at least if there is a plan I feel better. I am not hoping for the most drama solution, but seems like that is what MG wants. And they love JB (as do I sure but don't like Malcom) so it feels like they need to do something to earn his place on the show as a continuing character / hero / antihero - which they have not done. I also need a solution that doesn't result in mopey Oliver - I would like him to own what he did and not have been just manipulated.

    S03.E21: Al Sah-him

    Was it never possible for Nyssa to become the next Ra's? What hometown would she have destroyed? My only hope now is that she destroys Nanda Parbat and ends the whole mess.
  15. Is it some secret that the Ra's has to destroy his home to acsend? Otherwise I am really mad at Malcom and Nyssa and Maseo for not mentioning that the threat Ra's was making to destroy everything Oliver cared about is part of what Oliver is forced to do. Seems like a hard thing to keep secret. "Agree to destroy everything or I will destroy it" is a somewhat stupid threat. I am surprised though that the speculation of what should happen in these 3 episodes is so spot on. I guess not as WTF as MG wanted it to be?
