Oh yeah. Were this season 3 Felicity, she'd have stayed with him, probably humped the next hot guy she came across, whined about Oliver 24/7 to anyone who would pay attention and acted incredibly emo, as opposed to only walking out on him. She pulled a dick move when she broke up with Oliver even after William's mum explained everything, but meh, I can kinda see why.
The whole walking out bit was stupid.

And I don't dislike Laurel, and wasn't my intention to compare her and Felicity. I just don't pay proper attention to her developments anymore because I found her character very boring after season 2. Only really remember her becoming Black Canary and training with Wildcat. srug


Huh, I kinda forgot about the thing Felicity had with Palmer during S3 and then screwed him over in the end. Doesn't make what she did to Ollie in this episode any better, though.

Ah. Yeah, I'll admit she didn't have that much development after Wildcat, but her and even Thea have surprisingly become more likable, slowly but surely.

And yeah, with how much further we still have to go in the season, it seemed obvious to me that Darhk was only down for the moment but not out.

Wish your images here and the Flash thread didn't stretch the screen, but they're comedic gold, especially these ones that show just how much a two-faced b*tch she really is. 👆

edit: Yay, new page, so no more screen stretch.

Unfortunately, it's probably just William in the grave... That's what my gut tells me, anyway.

They cut Malcolm a lot of slack. I'm surprised Oliver didn't go after Malcolm after finding out what he did.

After S3, the slack Merlyn gets isn't surprising by this point honestly, no matter what acts of offense he might make... All because he's "family".

Remember when Darhk teleported? Did the writers forget he had that ability?

Also remember when Darhk snapped the guy's neck through the TV? But when he fights Oliver n friends, he just holds them in place?

I actually don't think Darhk really wanted to kill them. I almost wonder if this isn't as big a set back for him as it seems. When Vixen steals the source of his power his response is "so that happened" and then he acts like he just doesn't care and goes and has a very public fight outside and seems to be toying with them.

You might want to call that PIS, but he was really nonchalant about the source of apparently all his power being taken. I'm wondering if he has more then one totem stashed away.

Also unfortunately we all know the second Felicity changes his mind Oliver will turn into a simp and say "okay".

Oh it definitely doesn't, but it kind of is the lesser of two evils. And if anything, at least her reaction puts an end (or is it a hiatus?) to the trainwreck of a ship that is Olicity.

Can agree on Thea, but yeah, I can't really speak on Laurel. I did like her friendship with Nyssa though. Wasn't given a lot of focus though.

10 e-bucks says the Darhk they captured is not the real Darhk. vin

It is possible, it is just weird for him to suddenly get this sloppy. Especially since he should of just teleported after Vixen before she got that far away. She was moving quick, but not Flash speeds.

Though Felicity was the bitchiest in this episode I guess Laurel does still annoy me. It really does seem like she has a very unhealthy hangup on Oliver. Remember she had no problem sleeping with Oliver at the end of the first season either while she was with Tommy or immediately following their break up. Which at the time knew he had cheated on her with her sister. I could see being upset if Oliver had known when he was with Laurel that he had gotten someone pregnant and she'd had his love child then okay

Also people are acting like it doesn't take two to tango. When the girl Oliver knocked up says "I should of told you" to Laurel and then she goes "No Oliver should of". Well yes he should of, but this girl was also your friend and knew this guy was your boyfriend so you really can't play the whole "Oliver was the only person who should of said something". That is like saying Sarah shouldn't of been the one to say something because hey she wasn't the one dating Laurel.

Suddenly? Darhk is a card-carrying supervillain. The man has always behaved like a gleeful psychopath while playing all the villain tropes to the hilt. He's pretty dang sloppy and loves to showboat.

Guys its been confirmed. That was Earth 2 Darhk. The real one is still out there.

Well up until recently Darhk has had no real reason to be careful. For all of Arrow Teams's running around they have been a minor inconvenience at best. So now we have Vixen, Constantine, and Katana sitting as reserve heroes or something?

There is being sloppy and then there is "my source of power just got taken, meh".

I am speculating a bit here but, based on the little shown in the promo for the next episode, Malcolm's actions were a play to try and take over Darhk's spot at HIVE. In the promo it shows Merlyn visiting Darhk in what looks like a cell, with Malcolm telling Damien that HIVE will be proceeding with their plans, but not with Darhk at the helm.

At times it has seemed like HIVE almost has a board of directors instead of just one person in charge. So I'd be curious as to if Darhk was truly in charge of it all. They certainly say he created it.

hey, Neph, great job stretching the shit out of the last page. scrolling back and forth to read is a pure delight.

Holy crap, I almost enjoyed the last episode with Vixen. In fact, I did enjoy it - up until the last few minutes where they reverted back to the endless drama and self-pity that now seems compulsory for every episode and every character.

One of the reasons I enjoy Neal McDonough so much is that he actually seems to be having fun while playing his character. Instead of sitting in a corner and sobbing every time he gets defeated he comes back bigger and badder than ever. Will be interesting to see what happens now.

Every time I see Thea doing something stupid I think well, at least she can't do anything more stupid than that. Then she walks into her home, finds Merlyn there, knows that he is the one who offered up Ollie's son to Darkh and just stands there telling him what a bad daddy he is.

This is the kind of crap that makes me wonder what kind of emo drugs the writers of the show are on.

Well, he did choose wanting to maintain leadership of the League over saving his daughter's life from fatal lazarus sickness, so the bad daddy speech was kinda warranted. I agree though that her reaction to him in the room was too restrained in that scene, considering everything. Could've at least knocked him on his now crippled ass or kicked him out of the house or something.

If only Cupid had managed to at least shoot Felicity. 🙁

I wonder what the deal is with Darhk's ring.

And on an unrelated note, I find it quite funny that there is a Merlyn origin-esque comic going now, called Arrow: The Dark Archer. I can't imagine reading a whole series with that unlikable jack*** as the lead.

Felicity is now consistently a loathsome character.

Eh, I liked Merlyn, up until a certain recent point at least. I guess the comic is a sort of tie-in for the series like the one they had for Roy awhile back that took place between season 2 and 3, showing his development a bit more beyond what the show gave. Not sure what the comic you mentioned could show for Merlyn's origin that we don't already know, but may consider checking it out.

Meh, I'm sure Merlyn's gonna somehow climb up the ranks of H.I.V.E. as he did with the League, one way or another.

I also liked him to begin with. I thought he made a great villain in season 1. Despite being a bad guy, he had elements about him that were enjoyable. But he is just a total d***head nowadays. And yeah, based on promo pieces for the rest of the season, it looks like Merlyn is gunning to take over Darhk's position.

As to the comic, it appears to be set in between seasons again, right after he becomes Ra's but, from what I have heard, also delves more into his past, and the 2 odd decades of his life in between his wife's death and Ollie coming back to Star City.
