Season 8 Live Posting Thread

[Lantern7]

Anyone else wondering if Diggle blows chunks traveling between Earths?

[scarynikki12]

We listen to you William but we’re not in the show. 

[insomniadreams88]

Aww, I love William here. And Mia checking on her brother. 

[bettername2come]

Diggle is the greatest big brother! I love that he went to Cisco for help. I enjoy offscreen partnership between the shows.

[statsgirl]

"No one listens to the tech guy"  Felicity could have said that.

I like that Mia has a cut arm from falling on glass.

Pinot noir is not white, guys.

[scarynikki12]

JJ has arrived!

*raises hand*

Thinking the answer's no and he's like "why hasn't Cisco been doing this the last four years for me?!"

[quarks]

VERDANT IS BACK!!!!

It's like this show is TRYING to torture me by reminding me of the comparative set glory of seasons 1 and 2!

[Lantern7]

Dang, Mia is bleeding. That never happens.

[scarynikki12]

Just let him help you Oliver. 

[quarks]

Oh, come on, Diggle. You know Oliver doesn't read poetry. Quote Batman at him or something. 

[bettername2come]

"You always fall for this move!" Hee.

[apinknightmare]

I hate that Oliver's being dumb about partnership again. 

[Lantern7]

Guys. Just kiss already! 😜

[calliope1975]

And cue the 479th time Oliver learns to trust his friends and take their offered help. 

[apinknightmare]

Of course Rene's a henchman for a bad guy. Finally allowed to be his true self!

[scarynikki12]

Most of Earth 2 is the opposite of their Earth Prime counterparts yet Rene is still a dick. 

[calliope1975]

Oop. I spoke too soon. Guess Oliver's never going to learn that lesson. 

[KittenPokerCheater]

I wonder if this means the OG Diggle is going to be in all the episodes too.

Look. Just because it's taken Oliver eight seasons to learn anything....

I don’t think saying “I love you Cat” is going to go very far. A glare might work. 

[statsgirl]

I am all for Rene and Dinah being the Dark Archer's henchmen.

Tommy is a blast here.

And he can shoot a gun without suspension of disbelief with the hockey mask.

[quarks]

OK. Hanging wet shirt Oliver isn't quite salmon ladder Oliver but I will take it. 

[scarynikki12]

I saw this on Nikita! Ok, Oliver, pull on the chains until they break.

[statsgirl]

How does Tommy know that Oliver knows that Thea is Malcolm's daughter?

[scarynikki12]

Evil looks really really good on Tommy. [/shallow]

[quarks]

....pretty sure that particular Tommy/Oliver moment just sparked a high number of fanfics.

Peacoats, henleys, great hair and beard. This episode is a feast. 

And now he's wet! Ahhhh

They may have learned the truth before the Gambit. 

[insomniadreams88]

Every time Colin Donnell returns to Arrow, I'm reminded of how much I wish Tommy hadn't died in Season 1 because there was so much potential and imagine if we'd gotten CD on a weekly basis for more than one season? 

[apinknightmare]

Wow, they really cleaned up that bunker huh?

There's a joke to be made here.

[statsgirl]

William is the perfect Felicity.

But same scene, but without the homoerotic overtones that JB put in.

There already is a ton of Oliver/Tommy slash out there.

[insomniadreams88]

"Mom" "our parents" It's such a shame we didn't get more Oliver/Felicity/William family moments. Especially a shame we didn't get any Oliver/Felicity/William/Mia scenes. 

[scarynikki12]

Our babies make me happy. 

Hey Oliver watched Nikita too! 

[Lantern7]

Is that how Oliver escaped the first time?

[quarks]

"I believe that fate brought the four of us together for a reason!"

William, not sure I'm willing to call "network executives" "fate," but if it works for you, go for it. 

[calliope1975]

Oh yeah. I'll take this hotness replay. 

[statsgirl]

"Dinah and Rene, who if you haven't noticed are very bad people here"

I am so in it for the Oliver/Diggle bromance.

[KittenPokerCheater]

I intensely dislike the Mia/William Star City Spinoff-to-come scenes.  If I weren't watching live, I would be fast forwarding like there's no tomorrow.

[quarks]

I am not going to miss this section of that Vancouver highway.

And not just because Flash and Legends of Tomorrow also use this exact spot.

Just here? LOL

[calliope1975]

Oh Oliver, you are forever a big, dumb pine tree. 

[scarynikki12]

Siren was a terrorist and Tommy’s evil so I don’t think being alive is the only criteria for good things happening.

Yes. I don't know how he didn't break his back.

Oliver telling Chase "maybe I'm just ten steps ahead of you"  LOL  I love the way they're playing games with the earlier seasons.

[insomniadreams88]

Did Laurel ever say anything about E2 Thea? Maybe back at the end of S5 or first half of S6? Or am I misremembering? 

[quarks]

Laurel, this is one of the best episodes you've ever had. Why are you ruining it with wearing those heels?

[scarynikki12]

It is funny that Siren seems to still be a sidekick. She’s just a hero’s sidekick instead of a Big Bad’s. 

[calliope1975]

This Chase is weird to me. I liked E1 and hallucination Chase better.
