Maybe a part of Mick was holding back Zombie Mick from going all the way.

Hard to believe it's the same universe as early Arrow. I caught a bit of a season 1 episode a few days ago and it was jarring how tonally different it was back then compared to now.

Good point. Was that mentioned in the episode and I missed it? I did like classic horror film vibe with the Stein/Roy subplot - speaking of tonally different from anything in the show or the Arrowverse in general.

Rory is Gold. He has The Best lines. I hate that Routh is still being written as, and acting as, corny/goofy" "Superman Returns Superman" aka... "The Ghost of Superman 1977". Routh could be such a Bad Ass hero. He was the CEO of a company...he should be in more of a leadership role. He has the looks, the height, the cool voice. etc. Missed Opportunity...

I think I recall one of the producers saying that Ray is essentially a modern version of Dudley Do Right.

Dim witted guy who tries to do the right thing, but sometimes fails miserably.

Yeah, that sucks. Horrible bargain basement Iron Man suit and making him a goof just sucks ass.

That pretty much stinks and I wish they would go another route with him. There's lots of people who can act as comic relief, we don't need Ray bumbling around like that.

As for this episode I thought it was alright. Seems like they had an idea for CW zombies but weren't sure what to do with it. I thought Jefferson's subplot was alright but felt a little too serious for something about zombies. Loved Stein's reaction to zombie Mick and seeing Ray and Mick team up for a bit might be fun. Really surprised how much I'm liking Vixen also. She's definitely a good replacement for Hawkgirl.

Yeah the Vixen actress seems to have more acting experience. Plus, she is not the perpetual damsel in distress that the Hawkgirl was.

Vixen has been better than Hawkgirl.

That, and they're afraid of making him a Tony Stark clone.
