Ooh!  Arrow comes with a warning this week.  

So this is going to be both a Wild Dog and a Tinah episode?

Maybe cause of the episode featuring a gun control debate?

[BkWurm1]

Ha!  "People vomit a little"  Thea on Susan.  

[kismet]

SO THERE, the new motto of Arrow.

[jay741982]

Ugh Oliver defending that biotch 

[Sunshine]

Oliver is getting serious about Susan.  I vomit.

[jay741982]

Oliver telling Thea why she Doesnt like Susan made me angry 

[kismet]

Has SA's voice always been this annoying??? ... Or is it a OQ thing he is trying to do?

Edited February 16, 2017 by kismet
spelling

[insomniadreams88]

Susan is not a good person. And please, getting serious with her? Really, Oliver? Can the show please stop trying to make Susan a good person and this "relationship" more than it is? 

[Sunshine]

Last thing Oliver said before the shooting began was that he isn't comfortable covering up the circumstances of the death of Detective Malone.

[LadyChaos]

Don't worry Thea, a lot of us threw up a little....

[apinknightmare]

Welp...they definitely aren't making Oliver look less dumb here. 

[Sunshine]

Chase was shot.

[calliope1975]

Am I supposed to be horrified by what I'm seeing? This seems like a regular Wednesday on Arrow.

[Morrigan2575]

This isn't as snarky as The Walking Thread Live feed ?

[LadyChaos]

Dude...if Chase 'dies....... 50/50 on which one is faking it Malone or Chase

[BkWurm1]

How is a lone gunman shooting up City Hall any worse than what happened last year?

[Thundercatmary]

snark snark snark ;)

[kismet]

Another DA down... shocker.

[janeta]

Oh, was that who he was sleeping with last week....? All these brunettes look alike....

[insomniadreams88]

They were really obvious showing that Felicity's using Pandora. I'm pretty sure they didn't need to zoom in on the flash drive as long as they did. Or probably at all. 

[Thundercatmary]

I really like the actor and character Chase, hoping he sticks around but I know that's not likely.

[JJ928]

I'm here for the snarky comments. lol

[BkWurm1]

You can tell they are trying to make this all SERIOUS but it really isn't much different than anything we see normally.  

"Alert all the emergency rooms"  aka that one hospital room.  

[calliope1975]

I mean, no one had to jump out a window so I consider that a win.

As someone who is behind on Arrow, it helped with the obvious zoom. But yeah, predictable as was Dig's line. Always can appreciate Arrow's predictability.

EBR showing off those gorgeous gams

[kismet]

I do notice a difference in the script. This it totally an afterschool special version of Arrow. We have guns, drugs, innocent causalities and roundtable convos of typical talking points.

[calliope1975]

I'm not moved by WD or family because I don't care about him. 

So far I've learned: guns are bad. Drugs are bad. Am I done?

[catrox14]

Well this is something...

[BkWurm1]

The pace is different.  So is the camera blocking.  

[catrox14]

I'm gonna be back later for the WC airing. Have fun y'all

Wild Dog's flashbacks are so much worse than I expected.  

[kismet]

I recognize Doris, has she been in a lot of Vancouver productions? Also Chase is married, I think that increases his chance of being killed off.

[catrox14]

I just realized how much Chase reminds me of Christian Bale in Batman.  Weird

The soundtrack is different too. A lot of silence and then ebbing music

[catrox14]

Oh this just got totally terrible.

[BkWurm1]

I really love Quentin's snark about adding members.    

[apinknightmare]

I love MG's shoehorning of assault rifle stats into the dialogue. 

[catrox14]

Drink every time someone says "Gun Violence"

[kismet]

Oh we got Race into the mix..., And we have hit the TRIFECTA of Afterschool Special or some PoliSci documentary assignment.

What is up with Oliver's Green Arrow voice. He sounds like a cartoon

Are you trying to kill us?

[insomniadreams88]

Oliver has a pretty full team right now ... and took no one with him? 

[LadyChaos]

YEAH....85% CHASE IS THE GUN TOTING VIGILANTE....THAT VOICE MOD WAS HORRIBLE

[BkWurm1]

When she showed the picture of the "absolute nobody"  I sincerely thought for a second it was a picture of Billy.  Bland meet more bland.  Or maybe I've blocked what he looked like from my memory.

LOL, not on purpose. And I'm not using guns to do it! Yeah me!
