I'm a week behind so I've only just watched this.
All I will say is "oh for FUCK sake, not again."

question, i know they use non-lethal bullets but when oliver shoots people with arrows, doesnt that kill them?

u/ThesaurusBrown Nov 05 '17
The arrows are aimed to miss major arteries and organs. When they hit they plug up the wound so people won't bleed out. That's the fan theory anyway.

God this show is just.....there
I don't care about olivers bastard kid he didnt claim for like 2 seasons
I don't care about druggle, i mean why is it ok for oliver to use the i have a kid excuse to quit being arrow when druggle also has a kid?
I don't care about the "sassy" black fbi agent trope
I damn sure don't care about the 50th attempt at olicity
I just wish they'd give deathstroke his own show or something because he's the only interesting character on this show
Legends of tomorrow kicks this shows ass because it doesn't take itself seriously at all, it knows its bullshit
Wheras this show doesn't know if it wants to be a soap opera, a csi/superhero hybrid or comedy hour
And on a side note, diggle has the weirdest physique ever
He looks fat and all dad bod in clothes but is jacked

Druggle.. lmfao!!
He looks somewhat between fat and fit. Just like Batman from the dark Knight returns. Not an inverted "V" shaped body but more like bricks.
The actor is also getting old now. He is 44/45.

This was a great episode. I used to hate seeing Oliver and Felicity together, but this episode changed that. Great work. The car scene was pretty cool.

Wilddog coming to see Oliver was awesome. The finger point at Williams door was hilarious

Why do I get the feeling the anti-vigilante bill will be a sort of mini civil war type thing

This show is fucking terrible when neither Oliver or the big bad is the main focus.
Really wish they'd just put him back in the suit, forget about the dumbass "Oliver is the GA" plot for the 5th time, and get to the main villain.
The car scene was pretty awesome though.
Edit: also, does no one notice that the Green Arrow is black now?? He was on TV fighting Damien Darhk and was clearly a white guy behind the mask. Now he's clearly a black guy. Am i missing something here??

Maybe in the DC universe, they don't see skin color man.

I think they’re severely overestimating how much people care about Oliver and Felicity’s relationship

I'll get downvoted but I care. It's better than season 4 because it's benefiting William.

Aww man... this shit again..
ETA - (above in reference to obvious Olicity starting up again)
You all know that crossbow couldn't possibly work like that. The arrow has to load, and since it's much larger than a standard crossbow bolt, that needs an arrow feeding chain/conveyor which would be large and would need to be exterior to the rest of the housing (unless you make it all bigger). The arrow would need to be loaded in such a way as to draw the bow part, so the loading action would be something you would see - (I picture the arrow being pushed forwards, then back as it is slotted, drawing back the bow in the process). And even then, you couldn't shoot arrows as quick as this thing does..
