Charlotte Ross :drool::drool:

Fun and campy episode with Kinney coming back. Nice break from the dour Olicity breakup.

:lol: at Curtis just walking into the Arrow cave.

Love this episode.
The Bug-Eyed-Bandit has been a very good villain on FLASH and ARROW.
Emily Kinney does a good job.

Nice seeing Murmur again.

This episode felt like it was written by the Flash's writing staff. Maybe one too many Bee puns but it was a lot of fun. I also noticed it helped that Thea was out of costume for most of the action. The characters on this show have a habit of turning into grim avengers of justice when in costume.

First episode where I actually liked Laurel. Really seemed like they'll be pushing Ollie x Laurel though.

I felt that, too, -they may be opening the door there.

I wasn't particularly looking forward to the episode but I really enjoyed it overall. A few too many puns, but a lot of nice throw-away lines and a lighter, more relaxed tone (while still being serious) that I feel the series could use.

After last week's abortion, this was a swell return. Fun, campy a bit but enjoyable and entertaining.

I'd say I'm sick to death of "Olicity", but I never liked the two of them together in the first place. He's moping over her, and she's acting sanctimonious and c)unty. Kill this thing before it gets to the children. And Mucinex doesnt work

They're sure dragging out the Mr. Terrific storyline...

At least they have a tech replacement for Felicity. So it's pretty much a given now that Captain Lance is the one that gets it, right?

Arrow doesn't need another costumed hero at this point. Let's kill a few off first.

Doubt that's going to happen any time soon.

Curtis has his little flying metallic turds, so I imagine as soon as he perfects them we'll see him don a costume.

Indeed. I just started watching Daredevil on Netflix, and it makes Arrow seem bloated by comparison. Still, I thought this latest was a good episode - a lot more pop culture references and a bit of humor too. I just hope they don't overcorrect and lose the darkness entirely.

Isn't Mr. Terrific supposed to be one of the most intelligent people in the DCU? That would make him much smarter than Felicity, wouldn't it?

Mr. Terrific's ability is more akin to a superpower like Cisco's visions. He doesn't yet seem notably more intelligent than Palmer or Felicity (she certainly couldn't invent most of Palmer's stuff), but his ability to nearly instantly come up with gadgets goes beyond intelligence.

He's fond of calling himself the world's third smartest man in the comics. Most people have taken that as he's less intelligent than Lex Luthor and some other person that hasn't been named, possibly Batman or the Atom. That is a little overblown if you ask me, but DC had to sell him somehow.

FYI - for those into spoilers. The mystery death has apparently leaked.
