I thought the answer to that was that Darhk was just scrambling the DNA so they couldn't be identified?

Hey, he had to go toe-to-toe with all kinds of rodents for food when he was living as a tot!

Oh, I wasn't questioning you! I was just commenting more on tv echo's post, wondering how what Lance is doing now could be considered a betrayal to Laurel, since he's allegedly working for Team Arrow at this point.

Diggle was there as Oliver's security guard. What I really don't get about Ray (spinoff aside) is if his company went down the tubes after he died, wouldn't that alone indicate that his life was worth something? The last we heard about the financial state of the company was early in S3 when stock prices were rebounding, but did his fixation on his suit level out or otherwise harm the company? Because seriously...makes no sense.

I agree but also understand keeping it a secret. She does incredibly dumb shit whenever she's given any kind of information 99.9% of the time.

I think Oliver, Felicity, and Diggle are the only ones who know.

How would Quentin working with DD be a betrayal at the point she finds out, though? He's already switched to being a mole for Team Arrow. Unless this is all some kind of a put-on and he's still working with Darhk, deliberately giving them misinformation to lure them to wherever Darhk wants them. But that *really* wouldn't make sense. She's going to get angry at him, and *I'm* going to get angry about that, haha.

Stuff like this in the episode drove me crazy: Why aren't you showing me the whole screen? If you're focusing on it, freaking show it - the camera did finally manage to pan *almost* the whole way down, but damn.

If they ever stop shooting for the moon I'll be truly upset.

Where is this betrayal talk coming from? I don't remember.

Yeah, I thought Oliver was doing a little projecting there, since he let his family believe he was dead long after he had any reason to.

That could be it, too.

Yeah, I hadn't thought of it that way. And now DD either knows or is gonna find out that he's dealing with the LoA, and how far of a leap is it to figure out she's MM's daughter?

I wonder if touching Damien or whatever only worked for quelling Thea's bloodlust because he's a mass murderer? Otherwise there's a huge plot hole because Sara and Thea could just hug each other all the damn time. Problem solved.

So, now that we know Vlad was Poppy's brother, is it possible that his is the other grave on the island, and that she and Oliver bond over the burial or something? Or is his corpse adrift at sea now? I honestly don't know what happened.

Could be! I just feel like they're trying to be sneaky but not completely out-of-the-blue, and between Felicity saying that Quentin was "dead wrong" in the premiere, Laurel mentioning the "almost dead police department," and what DD said to QL, I think they're laying out hints. I guess we'll find out in way too many episodes, haha.

I'm not talking about what he would consider worse, though. I'm talking about telegraphing Quentin's death to the audience, which that line was doing (IMO).

I love that he's just like, "Yes, I am a bad idea factory" with that smile.

Well...my point still stands. :P

The 4th ep was by far the worst for me, because that one d r a g g e d. This was a little faster-paced, thankfully, but it's not one I would watch again.

Guys. It's happening.

He did, and then he said something about killing or dying, which is at least the 3rd or 4th reference to Quentin being dead since the beginning of the season.

Yeah, bringing him there seemed like a really terrible idea.

I really hate that they didn't show Felicity telling Diggle about Oliver's plan to infiltrate HIVE.

Ray's little crisis doesn't make any sense to me. Why wouldn't he want to save his company? Was it going under before he died or something? Is that why he thinks his work is worthless? Bad idea jeans spokesperson Laurel counseling Diggle on bringing his brother back? A+ LOLS. Poppy, well...honestly, she's a terrible actress.
