Me thinks they shouldn't have.

Would have just been confusing for people. These are two separate universes/stories/versions of the characters here.

I hope Ubu is in the show and gets to yell "INFIDEL!"

I don't know it would have been awesome to see A-List badass 20 million a movie Liam Neeson on a CW show.

No one ever would have called that.

OMG YES

With WWE's penchant for assuming fans will get "confused", they likely won't invite him because whilst cross promoting Arrow, they'll think the fans will confuse him for The Hurricane. [/sarcasm]

Arrow is da bomb.

That's all I got right now.

I love it so much.

Like what they are doing with Olicity is exactly what they should do. Felicity has to get with a few dudes now, and Oliver has to be alone this season.

I really enjoyed the conversation on the date, and the way they interacted throughout the whole episode. The Hospital was bitter sweet.

Brandon Routh also displayed more charisma and personality in 5 mins he was on Arrow then he did throughout the 2.5 hours he was in Superman Returns. Good job Brandon Routh.

I agree with McLegend.

Pete Stormare's schedule must be killer these days. Going back and forth between Blacklist and Arrow.

Great season premier last night.

I hope some more is done with Sara... reveal some of what happened while she was gone, and why she was really back, etc...

Feel like she needs more of a "closure"

According to reports there will be.

Honestly, my reaction was about the same as "Inuyasha: Episode Infinity" parody about Kikyo and the cliff. They already have a track record of bringing people back as opposed to not, so let's see how legit this ends up staying.

I got a Starman #1 vibe from it, so I'm gonna say she is dead.... barring flashbacks and ghostly apparitions.

It does seem to obvious that Merlin did it so it's probably not Merlin.

However I'm going to say it's Merlin.

I don't know . I feel like the League is probably less than happy that she turned up in Starling...

Not if she was sent there to kill someone.

Hm. Valid.

What did everyone think about the New Count Vertigo?

He's getting pretty negative reviews mostly because if the similarities to the Scarecrowe, which I understand. I liked him though, because he does seem like he could be a legit threat to Arrow.

One of my on,y complaints about the show so far is they haven't done a great job of building up the villians of the week. They are mostly jobbers. Example being how they didn't do The Clock King any favors last year. Seems like the only one they wanted to be was Seth's Gabriel's Vertigo, but that probably didn't work out the way they wanted it to.

So I hope we see more of the new Count Vertigo in the future.

I agree with you. We're on our second Vertigo now and the first was one of like 2 that weren't the season ending baddies that had any sort of build to them, the other being Deadshot. Bronze Tiger has been used a handful of times and we know nothing about him (which I kind of like in his case, but the point remains).

I like the new Count, but I'm hoping the next version finally comes to the foreign royalty who really wants to kill his niece guy.

And Sara's totally dead; Word of God. I wonder how Nysa's gonna feel about this, and if there's a certain green bath that could help later on.

Would be a nice way to introduce Ra's, I suppose. But I am ok if she is dead/gone forever. Possibly from Laurel no longer being anorexic.

Excellent show. Best comic show on TV (other than the walking dead I guess.)

Season 3 opened strong. very happy.

That was an intense and well done episode.

Word. Powerful emotions.... I like how there is a constant sense of character growth and change in this series...

Season 1 was Oliver just straight up being a vigilante...
Season 2 he was trying to become a hero, and succeeded...

Now Season 3 it looks like he may start to doubt his career choices....


So who do we think killed Sara?

My money is on Katana. I bet Sara killed her husband or something.

I really liked how Oliver was throughout the whole show. Stephen Amell did a good acting job. His exchange with Felcity and his last scene with Diggle were excellent.

I don't know who killed her. I feel that it has to somehow tie back to Oliver, and he has to be a reason or the reason she was killed. Also hope it's someone we have already seen just to give us a chance to figure it out. I like a good mystery.

Not sure were they are going with the Hong Kong flashbacks yet. It was good to see Tommy.

Laurel's little interrogation was kinda shocking. Damn.

Vinnie Jones on board to play "Brick".

Just put him in his "Scales" makeup from The Cape.

I'm excited for Malcolm Merlyn tonight.

I love that guy.

Laurel should learn how to swing a bat before she uses it as a weapon.

Always, always, be sure to warn the guy you've jumped from behind with a monologue before you pop him.

Lol I loved Oliver's reaction to Laurel telling him she tried to exact revenge. It was just a look of pure exacerbation. He did not want to deal with it at all.

I enjoyed that scene.

Woo Ted Grant. Also +1 for reference to Tom Bronson.

Thea's badass. And still bratty. But badass.

Merlyn is going to kick some ass tonight.

Man that was awesome.
