Could be that they're staying in a cabin and Oliver was the one hiking and he was just getting ready to go out on the trail with his lil' poles.

Yeah, she's Speedy. Speedy and Red Arrow are two different people. Could be he's just coming back as Roy for an ep or two.

The last one was very meh, as expected. All set up for the first episode of season three, with the added bonus of Diggle telling Oliver he wasn't going to get his family's company back, because he's "moved on." LMAO

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooOOOOOOOOooooOOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOOOO

The San Jose announcement has to do with this: http://heroesfanfest.com As an aside, that picture of Robbie Amell makes me cackle

Are these stories you guys are finding in the general O/F tab? I scroll through there all the time, and thankfully haven't clicked on any of this stuff.

Guess he didn't get the memo about those super practical mesh gloves!

His old suit is in police custody. Stealing it to wear (or wearing an old extra suit) after Roy faked his death to take the fall for being the Arrow makes no sense.

I don't like it either, but I'm guessing it's got something to do with Malcolm being in the League too? IIRC, he can beat Nyssa pretty handily too (and Oliver).

She does (per the interview EBR, SA, and WM did with IGN during CC)! <---so many acronyms

I really hope they do well by Mr. Terrific - Echo Kellum seems like a cool guy. He's on Twitter responding to every single person who congratulated him on the role, haha.

These are things that happened this season, not last season, which is what the award was presented for. And the fact that she was reluctant to seek help actually is a good representation of an addict's first steps to recovery. Several still-sober people in my family were court-ordered into rehab. I know very few people who happily attended their first AA meeting - it's always a struggle. And family members of addicts often do what they can to keep them from facing consequences throughout the course of their addictions. Those people are called enablers - that's what Quentin was doing. He was enabling her (until he stopped). Laurel is a person successfully dealing with addiction on the show, so in that respect, based on the intention of the award, it's deserved.

I agree. It's not a freaking Emmy. It's an awareness thing, good for her.

That was sarcasm, which didn't translate very well, haha.

And if it really isn't Connor Hawke, then putting it in the story was completely pointless.

Nice. Could be that the voters were trying to spread the wealth and get some attention for their cause by giving Elementary an award for their arc, and KC an award for her acting, who knows.

Yeah, I'm gonna need baby mama to stick around so the kid has somewhere to go when he/she's not around Oliver, which is hopefully all the time.

It's cute that they're trying to retroactively make sense of Malcolm's motives other than "plot."

The award isn't for how well the arc was written, it was for how well she played an addict. I haven't seen any of the other nominees, so maybe her portrayal was the best of the bunch (I mean, obviously whoever voted on these thought it was). It seems like a lot of the nominated episodes/arcs aired at some point in 2014.

When you wrote that Nurse Jackie should've won "that" award, I thought you were talking about Arrow's.

Nurse Jackie was in a different category and lost to a tie between two other shows.

Haha, me too. Although he needs to watch himself around that perfectly chiseled jawline is all I'm saying.

People are denigrating Felicity for crying all the time, when Barry did it too and no one's writing any articles about that. It doesn't matter if the tears were valid or not - they're both criers. The woman's getting criticized for it in the media, and the man isn't. That's why I brought it up.

Didn't Barry Allen cry in nearly every episode of The Flash this year? No one's commenting on that. Except for me, obviously, because SO. MUCH. CRYING.

I have a difficult time judging fairly, coming from a long line of addicts and alcoholics. Was it realistic? No, I don't think so. It was set up in a very paint-by-numbers/ connect-the-dots way of hitting rock bottom and rising back into sobriety kind of glossy TV way. No one wants to watch the ugliness of someone truly succumbing to addiction - not even on the depression porn that is Arrow. The only thing that I remember finding truly, almost stupidly inaccurate about it was the fact that Laurel was hanging out at Verdant when she was newly sober. The other parts of the storyline that I thought were stupid wouldn't have been a factor in determining whether the portrayal was accurate or not, like her blackmailing her way back into her job, and being the one civilian able to get a clean shot on the show (when she shot the evil cop who was working with Slade - can't remember his name). Nurse Jackie was, but it was not in the same category. There were several categories. The following shows were in Arrow/Katie's: Drama Multi-Episode Storyline – Substance Use: Arrow: Season 2 (CW) Episodes: “Blast Radius” / “Blind Spot” / “Tremors” / “Heir to the Demon” / “Time of Death” / “The Promise” / “Suicide Squad” / “Birds of Prey” / “Deathstroke” / “The Man Under the Hood” / “Seeing Red” / “City of Blood” / “Streets of Fire” / “Unthinkable” Dallas: Sue Ellen’s Relapse (TNT) Episodes: “Like Father, Like Son” / “Like a Bad Penny” / “Where There’s Smoke” Elementary – “No Lack of Void” / “End of Watch” (CBS) Graceland: Kelly Badillo (USA) Episodes: “Connects” / “Magic Number” / “The Ends” The Killing – “The Good Soldier” / Dream Baby Dream” (Netflix)
