"this one is shrapnel from a grenade." "huh, no grenades.a few bullets." "me, I'm mostly swords and spears." "yeah, I got this one from a sword."
you mean the one who died but didn't but died again but somehow is still in a spin-off next year?
if you want to amuse yourself, pay close attention to all the flashback sara scenes in S1, then try to find all the places they messed up reshooting them for S2
Well, since I watch The Flash, I know the new Canary is the sister of the old Canary. And since I recognize new Canary as ex-lover Laurel, it doesn't take much to figure out old drown sister is probably only mostly dead.
How is Oliver paying for the construction of that club? Does he have his own personal wealth separate from his family? I assume most of the family's personal wealth is their equity in Queen Consolidated. Which is why his mother had to use company funds (and not personal ones) to get the Queen's Gambit salvaged.
Or do they just allow Oliver to spend the company money however he likes?
I know Merlyn Group was built from scratch by Malcom, cuz he started middle-class
however, it's strongly implied, mostly in S2, that Oliver is somehow making use of the company's assets for a lot of his stuff, like where he gets all his equipment.
kinda like Batman uses Wayne Tech for all his toys, QC's "applied sciences division" is apparently staffed by mad geniuses who don't ask questions.
Screw the middle classes! I will never accept them! My father's other family were middle class. And we were kept out of sight, hidden from view at his funeral. - Eva Peron.
"I need a green carbon fiber arrow with a tape recorder on one end. and a green face mask. and a collapsible compound bow that can fire arrows with grappling hooks attached. the vigilante? of course not, why do you ask?"
apparently Robert Queen did found QC himself.
they must have called him founder at some point in the show but there's no source on the wikia
he apparently started a shipping company in The Glades and built that up into QC
side note: The Arrow/Flash wikia editors appear to be wholly unfamiliar with the distinction between a comma and a period.
I do remember reading G.I. Joe, and at some point Storm Shadow is killed by Cobra for betraying them. But then later he apparently put himself into some kind of Ninja healing sleep, and he came back.
In every star wars movie, there is this distinct yell. It is generally used once. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdbYsoEasio it sounds like this. Did George Lucas create the yell, or did someone else create it and use it before him.
huh. that's an odd one to be so low-rated... i know that effect has been used in movies for decades but I also never saw any of those movies before Star Wars
They order takeout. How they get the food into the cells without letting the metahuman out isn't shown. A deleted scene was recently released: (spoilers for S1E21, Grodd Lives)
...
Was watching Gotham last night, and my daughter was expressing her joy that Fish Mooney is finally dead. I explained to her the principle of "see a body or it didn't happen". Falling over the edge into water almost never equals death.
@Omegacron That's the the start of it. There's twins, clones, and parallel universe doubles. So many ways to bring people back from real, actual death.
somehow missed that ruth negga was cast for one of the leads in the preacher tv show. that'll cut down on her AoS time, if she still has any after this week.
Actually, the ironic twist at the end of last week's AoS was that Raina - whom everyone believed to be a traitor - was telling the truth, whereas Jiaying - whom appeared to be the good guy - turned out to be a manipulative liar.
Is Olivia Munn any relation to Caroline Munro? They look like they could be mother & daughter. And as a bonus, both are known for fantasy/sci-fi roles.
> Though it was initially announced that the comics would take place between episodes 1 and 2, chapter 8 clearly shows the prison beneath S.T.A.R. Labs, established in episode 3, and the epilogue shows Barry fighting Captain Cold. As there are no substantial narrative gaps in the comics, the "Freak Show" section can be assumed to take place between the events of "Things You Can't Outrun" and "Going Rogue ".
> Given the dialog between Barry and Felicity in "Smoak Signals", it can be assumed the section takes place after "Going Rogue". Finally, given the dialogue between Barry, Felicity and Oliver in "Blood Loss," the "King Shark" section must take place after the "Flash vs. Arrow" crossover event.
@Omegacron I think she intentionally revealed the stuff about Jaiying in that way to make sure she went ahead with it.
Also, it isn't exactly clear if Raina's ability to see the future in any way affects what happens. It could be she is looking at a read only view of the future, and no matter how she tries to change it, it will always come true.
it's possible. but as an example, she told Gordon that if Jiaying met with SHIELD, there would be war. Neither she nor Gordon told Jiaying that (that we know of), yet it happened exactly that way. Had Raini met with Gonzalez, it would have happened differently
supposedly we're going to see him transform in the finale. at least partially - something involving CGI
@JackBNimble the gotcha with Jiaying vs. Raina is going to depend on what Jiaying's end-game is. Raina may turn out to be the lesser evil, or she may not. I'm rooting for Jiaying... cuz I think she's kinda hot.
wow - there's a picture of the Jiaying actress with blonde hair on her Wikipedia page. She looks a LOT like Skye in that one. Good casting, indeed.
@Keen follow-up question: what exactly does Star Labs to do make enough money to run a secret prison where they feed the prisoners their choice of take-out food every night?
I do have to say... when you end Arrow on a cliffhanger where you locked your entire team in a cell and threw in a deadly poison, and you walk away while Felicity screams "we trusted you"...
showing the preview for next week with all of them alive five seconds later kinda ruins it
> Felicity: "Oliver's psycho ex-girlfriend who's hell bent on murdering her father." > Sara: ex-girlfriend? > Oliver: *that's* what you took from that sentence?
also... is it any wonder no one in Starling City ever learns their lesson?
Week 1: "Laurel, you have a drug problem, you can't be a DA anymore." Week 2: "Laurel, you're being sanctioned by the bar for your drug problem, I can't hire you." Week 3: "Laurel... yeah we're all good, wanna come be a DA again?"
@Keen I'm not entirely clear on wether Star Labs is even operating anymore...
they have 3 employees, they don't appear to be running any experiments.
yet the building is operational and they apparently make stuff.
My kids watch Netflix & Hulu via the Playstation 3, if that helps. That's how we get it on the big TV in the living room. Myself, I just watch everything on my computer though.
I remember back in the VHS days, my aunt & uncle had cables throughout the wall and VCR/TV's hooked up in every room with a switchbox. You could be playing a movie on the VCR in one room, yet switch it on at any TV throughout the house.
Gordon sees everything as right vs. wrong. Penguin betrays everyone. Bruce worries a lot. Fish keeps dying and then coming back. Riddler likes jokes. There - you're caught up.
oh, and Barbara's a crazy, violent, psycho dyke. That's new.
so, I've noticed a disturbing trend in Arrow this season, whereby Oliver and/or Sara are standing around with Laurel and/or Det. Lance, after taking down the bad guy. And you hear all the police sirens in the background. And they all just stare at each other for like 30 seconds before one of the non-vigilantes say "go" or "get out of here".
like.. were you waiting for permission?
you just committed like a half a dozen felonies and the cops (who care) are on the way.. GO HOME
> "Marvel's Agent Carter" returns for a second season of adventure and intrigue, starring Hayley Atwell in the titular role of the unstoppable secret agent for the SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve). Dedicated to the fight against new atomic age threats in the wake of World War II, Peggy must now journey from New York City to Los Angeles for her most dangerous assignment yet.
> But even as she discovers new friends, a new home - and perhaps even a new love - she's about to find out that the bright lights of the post-war Hollywood mask a more sinister threat to everyone she is sworn to protect.

> "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." returns for a dynamic, action-packed third season, as Director Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) embarks on a deadly new secret mission to protect the world from new threats in the wake of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s wars with Hydra and a rogue faction of Inhumans.
> "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." stars Clark Gregg as Director Phil Coulson, Ming-Na Wen as Agent Melinda May, Brett Dalton as Grant Ward, Chloe Bennet as Agent Skye, Iain De Caestecker as Agent Leo Fitz, Elizabeth Henstridge as Agent Jemma Simmons, Nick Blood as Agent Lance Hunter and Adrianne Palicki as Agent Bobbi Morse.
I think Blood and Palicki aren't currently billed as stars (as of S2).
@Keen i meant all the ones we see on TV. as in, they are the rogue faction and the ones in the movie that will never appear on television are the normal ones?
@MichaelEdenfield Yes, but there are likely other splinter groups we haven't seen. The rogue faction we've seen this season is just one group of Inhumans. There are others out there, probably.
probably, but I wonder if they're going to be "The bad guys" on AoS for a while, then when the movie comes out, suddenly we start to see a bunch of good ones.
the Queen family / Queen Consolidated financial situation just got murkier.
when Rochev took over QC she diluted the stocks and suddenly the queens were broke. except they somehow could "save" their assets by moving them around.
which makes no sense; QC is incorporated, any personal assets of the executives are off-limits to the company. if the Queen house and money was held in private trusts it should be safe, and if it was all invested in QC stock then moving it around wouldn't do anything.
I'm particularly unclear why they appear to be about to lose their house?
I'm starting to think that the DC universe has a completely different and unexplained set of financial rules that just happen to use the same terms as ours.
