"Second Chances" – Arrow S05E11 Review By Gislef Feb. 2, 107 http://www.tv.com/shows/arrow/community/post/second-chances-arrow-s05e11-review-1486017815/

They haven't yet given enough Tina/Dinah back story to justify the EPs saying that she's the fighting equal of Oliver. The show has already established that cop training and military training does not equal League of Assassins training.

One media reviewer snarked that the reason Rory was stuck back in the lair was because his superhero persona (unlike Rene or Curtis) required special effects, and they needed to use their sfx budget for the metahumans.

"I'm the justice that you can't run from!"... Arrow Season 5 Episode 11 Review: “Second Chances” Chris King+ February 1, 2017 http://www.tvovermind.com/the-cw/arrow/arrow-season-5-episode-11-review-second-chances

I have to say, I'm really tired of Arrow episodes hitting us over the head with the episode title. How many times was the term "second chances" used in this episode? I'm not sure I care about Oliver any more. He keeps saying stupid things and doing stupid things. I also found it creepy the way Oliver rejected all these qualified female candidates until he found almost a clone of Laurel. And the Laurel I remember from watching 4 seasons of Arrow wouldn't have been "proud" of Oliver and Tina/Dinah at the end - she would've been screaming that Tina/Dinah stole her life! My favorite part of this episode was Felicity meeting with the DarkWeb hacktivist, Kojo Sledgehammer, with Rory as backup - and Kojo turning out to be a Felicity clone (must be a theme) and fangirl, though she looked like a younger Root (from Person of Interest). We also learn that Felicity's former hacktivist name was Ghost Fox Goddess. The actress who played Kojo, Kacey Rohl (25-year-old Canadian), had a cute twitter exchange with EBR... Regarding the term "bashert" (used twice in this episode)... Oliver: "She's a meta with the same power as Earth-2 Laurel?" Rory: "If that isn't bashert, I don't know what is." Oliver: "What?" Rory: "'Bashert' means fate, destiny." . . . Oliver: "She can focus the sound better than Black Siren, and she is more skilled at hand-to-hand. This is almost like - what was that word that you used?" Rory: "Bashert." https://www.torchweb.org/torah_detail.php?id=129 ???!!!

A.V. Club has been loving S5 so far - and 511 is no exception to their tongue bath... Arrow gave itself a second chance, and it’s making the most of it By Alasdair Wilkins Feb 2, 2017 1:45 AM http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/arrow-gave-itself-second-chance-and-its-making-mos-249555

I'm getting whiplash... Laurel (before the mask) - She sucks! Laurel becomes Black Canary - She's awesome! Laurel dies - She is THE Black Canary. Laurel is replaced by Tina/Dinah as Black Canary - Meh, she wasn't all that.

You're reading a novel and come across this Thomas Jefferson quote - "Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you." - And you think of Arrow.

“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” Star Pens Song For “The Flash” / “Supergirl” Musical Jan. 31, 2017 Jarett Wieselman https://www.buzzfeed.com/jarettwieselman/rachel-bloom-wrote-a-song-for-the-flash-supergirl-musical-ep?utm_term=.rpdXorOoV#.kqbvEK9E6

From the CBR sneak peek video (in Spoilers thread)... So Talia trained Yao Fei and recognized his hood! Was his hood really that distinctive? But Lexa Doig looks good as Talia.

Just caught up on this thread... TPTB want social media buzz. By introducing Dinah Drake, they're getting social media buzz. If some fans start shipping Tina/Dinah with Oliver, they'll get social media buzz. If they re-ignite the BC vs. Olicity feud, they'll get social media buzz. Regardless of the ridiculousness of the entire set-up, the ABF* crowd is going to support Tina/Dinah becoming a regular cast member and Oliver's love interest (Dinahver?), and they will want her to become the female lead on the show. (* Anyone But Felicity) By the way, Craig has already jumped on the Tina/Dinah bandwagon... ‘Arrow': Why a New Black Canary Is a Good Thing BY CRAIG BYRNE Feb. 1, 2017 http://collider.com/arrow-new-black-canary-katie-cassidy/ In light of that reddit spoiler, SA's recent tweet now has double meaning (to fans, not to SA) - and JH responded to it... I'm here for the Felicity/Diggle storyline. But this season is looking more and more like my last for Arrow.

I think the ratings for tomorrow's Arrow will go up. There's no Lethal Weapon and no Blindspot airing this week. Arrow's time slot competition tomorrow night is Hunted (CBS), The Goldbergs (ABC), Law and Order: SVU (NBC), and Showtime at the Apollo (Fox). Plus, I think people will be curious about this new female vigilante with the canary cry.
