Thanks. I'm a little stumped as to why he would listen to her fifty years down the line, but sure. How an why did she end up in NP?

Did they hop to more recent past during the episode? I don't imagine Nyssa was around in 1960.

The tic back in full force.

There's Thea, her roommate. Why is Malcolm in the LoA garb again with the matching minion?

I like this.

It was my wish for them to go with Laurel as the anti-heroine. I feel like it's something more accepted with men, but I think it could have been a) interesting, b) justified, and c) played to KC's strengths.

I'm having the same reaction. It effing weird. Like, if you want to acknowledge that part of her life, put Pretty Bird on there. This just endangers everyone around her.

It means she can come back. However, she's just not an interesting villain and I don't really want her to. Actually, I think he said that was the only book he read for his college classes.

Towards the end when he went to check if Felicity was okay after he restrained Brie. That's when the giant bee thing came up behing him. Did that thing get a name?

Hee at Laurel taking photos of shirtless Oliver.

Yep, it's a different one. Oliver also seems to have his eyes closed in this one."It's Felicity!" Where's that gif from when she was in danger last year? Here we are.

When and how did Curtis crack his glasses? All I know is that it wasn't when he first fainted. They were fine when he came too. But sometime later on in the episode I noticed that the right glass was cracked.

I have no idea how to embed a Tumblr video here, or even if it's possible, but this is very good. And short. http://beemichelle7.tumblr.com/post/141705358197/there-now-olicity-is-comic-book-canon

CR posted stills of improv moments on Facebook. I love that she came up with Donna using her phone's camera to reapply lip gloss.

I haven't noticed anything. But it sure seems everyone is convinced this is happening.

That's commitment. Or are they playing him?

There's one thing I liked about Brie - she was in it for herself. I predicted it would be for a family member with spinal problems and was very glad to have been proven wrong. I also really enjoyed Thea's quip about a sob story not being an excuse for killing people.

Malcolm is just becoming more and more pathetic by the day. It's sad, really. I used to be Ra's Al Ghul. He's coming off like a faded child "star". I was in a Mastercard commercial when I was 10, he said at 45. If you're going to brag about something, brag about levelling half the Glades or taking the Hood out of commision for a month or two. At least those are brag worthy. What kind of an idiot judge gives a computer expert prisoner, one who actually commited crime owing to her skill, computer access? And what the hell is wrong with Dig and Lyla letting Andy drive around unsupervised? And to grow that porn stache? Hopefully, I will be proven wrong and it will be revealed that Lyla had someone track him at all times.

I'm basically left with the same feeling as I was during the last episode - average. There were good parts that have already been mentioned - the training sequence, most of Curtis' scenes, pretty much all of Donna, Felicity and Thea actually working together and talking and, this is really important, about their interests, goals and motivations, that part I really appreciated - but in the end, I don't feel like I will remember this episode. I am disappointed that we get two back to back female villains, only for them to fall flat. My biggest complaint is that that asshole Dennis didn't at the very least get hurt. Damn it. I think he did recognize the Spartan suit, he just couldn't recall Dig's name. After Oliver and crazy Thea's fight at the beginning of the season, my favorite action sequence this year. Speaking of, why was Oliver swinging so wide at Reiter in the flashbacks? Was SA afraid of hurting the actor?

It really was. Like, did Brie forget the pair on her nose? EBR's post-episode PSA:

I found the clip with Brie and the board. Here it is if anyone else is looking for it. http://kalichica12.tumblr.com/post/141960755465/exclusive-arrow-brings-back-bug-eyed-bandit-in I hate that asshole board member since he first showed up in 402. I don't remember the actor being bad in the role, however. Wow, they're really gonna pile it on with the bee thing, aren't they? Was it this obnoxious on The Flash last year?
