To be honest, considering she's dabbled in it a bit before, I was expecting her to show up on Arrow in a small episodic role for a while. Then Cody Rhodes came on and I guess SA would rather give his friends and acquaintances an entrance into the show than his wife. Everybody looks like they're only learning how to interact with others in the minute of that video that I watched. Her hair looks really pretty, though.

One would imagine steering that cargo ship off course and towards Yemen. But I agree that original cast members, with the exception of Michael and Linc, should have been put to more use overall.

Plus, it's still a weird line because it's not like Michael was away. He was right there and Michael. He'd have noticed before Sara did that she was starting to show.

Mission to find the best gifset from the pisode accomplished. Source But seriously, is this sped up? I didn't notice it was this intense in the episode.

I think I would really have liked having the glasses in that scene, although I imagine they were left out because of practical issues, like working out with them and where do they toss them when they get going.

LOL

HVFF London photo ops.

So that scene where Chase cements Oliver and Dig actually takes place in 521, not 522 as I thought. It makes more sense with the GA suit coming back into play then, although I still expected it to happen in the finale. I guess the thread that's supposed carry through the finale is now Oliver discovering who he is. Also, apparently WD and Dinah will be the point people on Sampson.

Okay, thanks. Didn't really look like her to me, but there's no reason to bring back the original actress if that's all they are using the character for.

This is episode 5 in a 9-episode-long season. I just feel like they're dragging their feet most of the time. Ja is both insane and extremely useful. Poor Sid, I feared for him since the first episode. Did anyone pay attention to the people at the barbecue in the flashback? Was there someone recognizable? Who was the woman Sara was talking to supposed to be? Also, I didn't get Sara's comment about having to tell Michael. I'm pretty sure she had told him about the pregnancy by this point.

423 happened a bit over 12 months ago. 501 was 7 months ago. 11 is closer to 7 than to 12? These people's inability to do basic maths will never not be funny. Now that somebody pointed it out, I hear honey after that last, I got you, as well. ?

Thanks for the whole quote. I couldn't make out the tap dancing part when I watched the episode.

I'm drawing a blank here. What and at which point in 523 did he say?

Is that what she said? I thought flamingos were involved.

I really hope you're wrong. Plus, there's supposedly a week in show time before the next episode, so Curtis should be able to handle it by then. I know the kid is in trouble there at the end, but we know Samantha's response time isn't the best from the last time he got kidnapped.

Thanks for explaining, I'll pay closer attention on rewatch to see if it reads the same way to me.

@Happy Harpy, how does Lyla seem different to you? I found that comment interesting. She honestly seems consistent to me, except for maybe giving Dig that file that was not necessary for him to see.

The pictures aren't the best quality, but the point is pretty clear.

No, it's the same kid, but he does seem to have grown and matured a lot since we last saw him. I'm sure it is because I was paying attention since I wasn't against him being recast with another kid who can act this time around. The only thing I can say about him is that he is actually an excellent casting looks wise for Oliver and Samantha's child IMO. Maybe if we only got to see him in still photos it would work better.

Personally, I enjoyed the hell out of being serviced. So thank you, show.

I'm weak and watched the episode again already, but I just enjoyed it so much the first time around. I didn't notice the episode title being repeated ad nauseum as this show is want to do, but there are three references to number 11 that I spotted. It's the number of arrows Oliver shot at the door, the number of times Felicity told him "I told you so", and how many months ago the flashbacks took place. Which was sometime in June presumably, so possibly not even a full month since Felicity and Oliver were left standing alone in the bunker last year. It really took little time for them to slip is what I'm saying. :D Then there was Oliver and Felicity's well being and safety obviously being the first things on his mind. Are you ok?, were the first words to come out of his mouth after the initial explosion, then the second one, and finally when he came to after blacking out. And he mentioned not having enough bandwidth to train new recruits when Felicity brought the idea up. This episode is seriously the epitome of Oliver's enchantment with Felicity, it hit everything. His concern and respect for her, the way he takes in what she's saying, how she brightens up his world. I also spotted other instances of Curtis being likeable. His Oliver impression, and You enjoy that in the flashbacks. To my mind Felicity is the you, and Oliver the that in that sentence. Plus, his attempt at ooohing when Oliver wanted to see Felicity after the surgery, but even more Dig's reaction to it. Man, I've been doing this shipping thing for years. You really need to develop more chill about it. A few small things. What did Felicity try to do when Oliver told her her idea with the bike engine was smart? I'd also like to know who's in charge of getting office supplies for the bunker. They're slacking off if that's all the duct tape they have.

Two empty bottles of wine. I'd say plenty of fun.
