I oddly like flashback Oliver's hair.  

Me too. A lot better than the buzzcut.

[Delphi]

 Heh.   Sign that your crazy.   Never change,  brah.

[kismet]

Here is my wish, we simply forget about the whole cold case murder framing and just have Anatoly & OQ scenes interspersed with FS/TQ/Dig scenes.

[calliope1975]

So Oliver is still dumb, and Thea is still smart. Back to status quo. Disappointing that Oliver never wises up.

[BkWurm1]

Lance is on fire this week.  "Hoss."  Hee.

[insomniadreams88]

I still think Rene should've waited until after they took care of Chase to get his daughter back. 

[statsgirl]

Anatoli continues to be awesome.  I hate that Oliver is fighting with him in the present.

[janeta]

Oh har har :)

[jay741982]

Quentin threw Hoss in WD's face lol

[Delphi]

I just tried to rewind my television ugh,  live viewing has its disadvantages. 

[KenyaJ]

"Hoss" doesn't sound nearly as obnoxious coming out of Quentin's mouth.

And a Delicity scene! I'll be damned.

[Morrigan2575]

Nothing "concrete" funny

[statsgirl]

Why is Felicity dressed like a middle-aged librarian?

[janeta]

--and now that one :)

[Lady Calypso]

I wish I cared more about the Rene's custody storyline. But he showed no interest in getting Zoe back earlier, he uses guns as his primary weapon, and he still doesn't look old enough to be a father of a ten year old kid (but that last one is more about my inability to guess ages based on appearances).

Thea is still more media-savvy than Oliver is.  Why isn't she mayor?

Females can't be leaders or mayors!*** Silly you :)

*** - disclaimer, I do not believe this at all (it's absolute bullshit) - but I totally believe that the Arrow Writers room & a group of the fandom would believe it.

[statsgirl]

Robert told Oliver that the building was named after him?  No wonder pre-island Oliver was an entitled douche.

I really wish QL wasn't always stuck with the weakest characters.

[calliope1975]

Oliver has said ad nauseum that Chase is 10 steps ahead. Whyyyyyyy does he not ever sit down and have a brainstorming session with his smarter counterparts on what that could mean?

[insomniadreams88]

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like there was no sense of urgency from Oliver or Diggle there. Just, "oh, concrete, being buried alive, okay." 

[MostlyC]

...so is that why the mask/arrow was put on the island?  Just beacuse...of nothing, really?  That's a pretty poor pay-off of something that was pretty featured in the pilot.

And yes, Anatoly is awesome.  I will miss the flashbacks if they go away, if only for him.

[BkWurm1]

So do you think the building came ready made with booby traps and quick trigger metal hatches to seal the stragglers back from lunch in a wave of cement or did Chase get his contractor license just for this bit of fun?

Perhaps they realize this is a filler plotline. I don't honestly have a sense of urgency so I'm cool with their chill.

[Lady Calypso]

Commercial break is over and...yeah, the concrete burial is more lackluster. Stephen Amell sounds more annoyed than anything.

Oliver just regained the possibility of having sex with Felicity again! No way he should be so blasé about being buried alive.

[insomniadreams88]

Is Rene not on the team anymore?

He's one of the best actors. He raises the weak characters.

I just remembered MG and Sarah T wrote this. I lowered my expectations by 1/2.

Oh lord, Oliver now believes he will survive this because it's not Chase's endgame?  How naive is he?

[BkWurm1]

Why didn't they use that last week to open the bunker? 

[calliope1975]

It's like, Chase sent us this body. It appears my father killed him. It looks like he was killed at this location. And instead of questioning all of this, it's like, my father's being framed, do do doooo, let's go investigate. I mourn the loss of Oliver's critical thinking skills. 

[kismet]

What's up with OQ's new mask? He looks like a reject from Man in the Iron Mask.

[Lady Calypso]

If I ignore Curtis, I could get behind OTA+Dinah and throw in Rory. That would be my ideal team.

One could only dream. He is probably doing serious admin work for the mayor, because he supposed to be good at that.

Sparks and methane don't mix well.

Because of gas lines or something, it would have gone kabooey! O rit would have been too easy.

This isn't a new trait though.   Moira can't be shady,  Thea can't be with Malcolm and a ninja,  Robert couldn't murder people!  Except that one time he shot that dude. 

[Lady Calypso]

Oh my god. I almost spit my hot tea out of my mouth at SA's reaction to Old Guy saying that he was given a thumb drive by Adrian Chase.

I hope that's a gif later so I can laugh at Oliver's narrowed eyes.

You are correct. Maybe I'm remembering fanfic. LOL. Thea got the brains of the Queen siblings.

Maybe we should set-up a graveyard for the important things the show lost. I would vote for a stone for OQ's critical thinking skills.

[statsgirl]

Oh, look Anatoli is anviling the people close to Oliver paying for his sins.

Oliver won't look at the thumb drive because Chase wants him to? How stupid is he?

[janeta]

Squash the drive with a brick!

 

and of course she,ll look at it...

Edited May 11, 2017 by janeta

[Lady Calypso]

Of course Thea's going to watch the footage, where it's revealed that Robert did kill that guy and that's why Chase wanted Oliver to watch it.

[Morrigan2575]

Thea's going to look

[kismet]

Look we get the wrestler back.

[Delphi]

 The Heroic Black Canary 4, capping folks in the knees and tossing them off ledges. 

[statsgirl]

Felicity don't interrupt him in the middle of a fight!

[Morrigan2575]

Not feeling pain doesn't = super human

[statsgirl]

Looks like an accident to me.  Robert looks scared.

[calliope1975]

If Chase was truly evil, that flash drive would just contain your average computer virus.

I could only see this.

[janeta]

He just happens to have a vat of concrete? The stuff doesn't stay liquid without agitation...
