"Oliver, don't be an idiot." "I'm gonna die soon. Why stop now?"

[quarks]

"I was raised by Felicity too, remember?"  Heh.

Oh god, another Oliver and Laurel team up...

She has a lot of emotional intelligence for someone who used to be a serial killer

[scarynikki12]

This speech may (stressing may) have worked from Laurel but falls flat coming from Siren. Should have sent her with Dig and left Lyla behind if you wanted insight into kids. 

[quarks]

"He has always been a hero first and a dad second." 

To be fair, Mia, the kid part only showed up in season three - AFTER the hero stuff!

[Primal Slayer]

Ah the usual "He put everyone before us" I wonder how this will end...

[apinknightmare]

Let it get infected!

[Primal Slayer]

Conner keeps getting more time with Diggle/Lyla than JJ ever will....yikes

[scarynikki12]

PUT YOUR HAIR UP DINAH! IT’S BLOCKING YOUR VIEW! 

[Lantern7]

See, Diggle's attitude is why I wouldn't want him shoehorned as a Green Lantern.  He's too good as a "normal" character. I mean, I'd settle for him not getting speed sickness.

[quarks]

YES THIS EPISODE HAS JUST BECOME OFFICIALLY AWESOME!!!!!

HELLO FYERS!

[Primal Slayer]

This is certainly a S2 flashback

[bettername2come]

Conner and Lyla talking was really sweet. He never mentions her. Nice to see he loves and respects her as much as Digg.

[apinknightmare]

Canary blast these fools, good lord

[scarynikki12]

So we’re on ghost island. 

[statsgirl]

The Monitor can dig up people buried and bombed for 13 years and make them alive again? Then why can't he build the weapon himself?

The ONE thing she's good for, and yet.

JJ's currently in third to a sister who no longer exists.

[quarks]

Not Laurel, you've been time traveling, multiverse traveling, and so on, and you're questioning ghosts? That's the most normal thing you've encountered in the past several episodes!

[scarynikki12]

Yao Fei!!!! Would love for Shado to join the fun too.

Guess she’s budget conscious. 

[insomniadreams88]

There are parts of the episode I'm liking so far, but overall, I'm really not impressed yet. And dear god, show, I had enough Oliver/Laurel scenes in the last episode. Wish we were getting quality Oliver/Diggle scenes instead. Please give me lots of Oliver/Mia/William scenes in the rest of the episode.

I wonder if this is what the series would have been like if TPTB hadn't deviated to Plan Felicity. I also wonder if it would have made it past S1 if so. 

[Lantern7]

I can't remember these people.

Saaaaaaaaaay . . . didn't Malcolm bite the big one when he stepped on a land mine in Lian Yu?

DO NOT PUT ANYTHING BETWEEN ME AND MY GREEN LANTERN HOPES!

Im pretty certain it would've made it past S1 regardless

[statsgirl]

"Only those who were with you form the beginning"  You mean Slade?

[quarks]

"Are you real?"

These people ARE aware that they are on a superhero show, right?

[scarynikki12]

I’ve missed Yao Fei and his bluntness. 

[KittenPokerCheater]

I really like this Laurel- I wish we'd had this Laurel from the start of the series.  /preps to dodge tomatoes.

And Yau-Fei!  I like this character so much.

[apinknightmare]

Whyyyyyyyyy is the Monitor wasting time having people give this random advice? Whatever you need done, do it yourself you goon

Not the right arm, it's his best arm!!!!

[calliope1975]

Roy! You deserve better than this. 

[quarks]

Dinah, it's comic book lore. Of COURSE he can do it!

[Trisha]

I love that everyone keeps loudly yelling for each other on an island they know also contains people trying to kill them. Way to be stealthy, team!

[bettername2come]

It took Digg way too long to think of getting a lever.

[scarynikki12]

I’m getting Grey’s Anatomy flashbacks but at least Roy isn’t about to get eaten by forest creatures. 

[statsgirl]

Wow, is the arm cutting ever telegraphed. My head hurts from the anvil.

[Lantern7]

Lopping off an archer's arm . . . a grand tradition since Dark Knight Returns.

[Primal Slayer]

Is Roy going to lose an arm...for realz...

Don't you talk about that plane crash

[insomniadreams88]

Maybe Laurel can scream his arm free. 

[quarks]

(Everybody remember when Berlanti said they weren't doing this? And yet, here we are!)

[scarynikki12]

Someone’s about to lose an arm! ::singsongs::

[Primal Slayer]

Of course Laurel could Scream it off but....to logical.

[statsgirl]

Don't just stand out in the open Oliver!  Not if Fyers is still around.

[quarks]

DISINFECT IT FIRST!

[Lantern7]

"YOU CUT OFF THE WRONG ARM!!!!!"

#CouldntResist

ETA: Snare trap looked great from an overhead angle.

I remember when they promised no super powers on Arrow.

[calliope1975]

I bet Roy wishes he was still fixing cars. 

[scarynikki12]

Why even have Siren if she’s not going to screech in a helpful way? We know they’ll still use the sound so it’s just lazy at this point. Roy could still have lost the arm.

I completely misread this as screaming the arm off and was like "How is that better?"
