How about those last 15 minutes? I was unsure how I was feeling about this episode but those last few developments between Arrow and Huntress were exceptional. I know Helena is a bit of a sketchy vigilante in the comic books but the show has taken it to a whole new level.




EDM MEGASTAR STEVE AOKI OPENS OLIVER’S NEW NIGHTCLUB — With his nightclub set to open and a new romance brewing with McKenna (guest star Janina Gavankar), Oliver (Stephen Amell) is as happy as he’s been since returning to Starling City. But when Oliver’s ex, The Huntress (guest star Jessica De Gouw), suddenly returns to town, she threatens to destroy everything and everyone he cares about. Meanwhile, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) and her father (Paul Blackthorne) struggle with the return of Dinah Lance (guest star Alex Kingston) who claims she has proof Sara is still alive. Thea (Willa Holland) gets Roy Harper (guest star Colton Haynes) a job at Oliver’s club, but he’s not too inclined to stop his life of crime. Oliver and Tommy (Colin Donnell) are thrilled they were able to get Steve Aoki to play at the opening of their new nightclub, Verdant. David Ramsey and Susanna Thompson also star. Guy Bee directed the episode written by Jake Coburn & Lana Cho (117).

I agree with you 100%, there is just something about her that seems forced

@SaintCrow My problem with her is that she is a word that rhymes with itchy, and another word that rhymes with lazy

Enjoyed this episode. I enjoyed it way more than I thought i would. I will miss looking at McKenna Hall. Its one thing this show has packed down to a science, it is hiring eye candy for the female roles.

The actress for Huntress was way better this go round than her last 2 episodes. Glad she slithered that answer to Ollie being The Hood. She told them but they dont know she told them. Great writing especially when people saw the trailer a while back thinking she 100% sold him out.

Yea I was hoping he killed Huntress too.

HipsterAngelusNY - 3/20/2013, 7:11 PM
1. I really don't like the huntress
2. Felicity is pretty extremely hot (librarian hot)
3. Diggle had like 5 lines in total in last 3 episodes
4. Cool to see Roy Harper kick some ass & did anyone notice how they referenced the needle/drug thing
5. Not a fan of the missing sister story line, but I understand that they have to add some other plot to the story
6. Slade and Oliver have a buddy cop chemistry it's pretty cool

Also he was talking about having the blood of people she killed on his hand, What about the 30 innocent FBI agents that she killed i guess that doesn't count, lol.

gmoney0505
gmoney0505 - 3/20/2013, 8:33 PM
I dont want Felicity and Oliver to date. If Felicity needs to date anyone its Diggle. They had some great chemistry in the episode Oliver got shot in. They need to drop the sis in law thing for him cause that kinda needs to be off limits to go after your brother girl even if he is dead.

gmoney0505 - 3/20/2013, 9:18 PM
@darkmetal
I agree with you about the Sarah thing. Once someone is presumed dead on this show it needs to stick especially if they been gone for 5 years and was on a huge shipwreck like they were on the show. Makes it really unbelievable if she is still alive that she can somehow survive that kind of wreckage.

Just because Sarah's Mom think she is alive doesn't mean she is. Though I hope she doesn't turn up alive. I wouldn't mind if they find someone who they think is her or claims to be her but then they find out she is a con artist of some sort.

Great episode!

Diggle bringing the funny as always, also liked that he was still looking for Deadshot.

The Huntress was much improved this time around, she played the crazy villain role really well. Glad to see McKenna leaving, she was fine but I'd rather they use her screen time for more interesting characters or island scenes.

Roy Harper kicking some ass was awesome and the little character reference about him being afraid of needles was cool.

Not really feeling the whole sister still being alive plot, although I suppose they have to find something for Laurel to do...

The Huntress-gone-psycho development was well written, and well executed by Jessica De Gouw. I was actually afraid of her showing up behind my back and she pulled that move on Felicity. T-Mobile girl needs to come back somewhere around the season finale.
Best episode yet.

He should've killed the Huntress, and Roy Harper kicked ASS!!!!

Am I the only person that almost had the show ruined for him when Roy spun around on the pillar? That was terrible!

PeterParker1991 - 3/21/2013, 6:57 AM
Okay episode. Better than the one before the break that's for sure. The whole "Sara is alive" is complete BS. It was awesome seeing Roy getting some action. It was obvious he and Thea were going to eventually get together. One thing I don't want is for his development to be rushed. Tommy is an irritating whimp. Can't stand him. Oliver should've stayed with that hot detective chick. Too bad she's moving.

sbdc1939 - 3/21/2013, 7:21 AM
I would of liked to see her actual backstory instead of the patricide one they are showing plus she is one crazy chick. It sucks that the hot detective chick is leaving but atleat ollie got to hit once.

blackagar94 - 3/21/2013, 8:36 AM
Am I the only one who liked the Huntress ? She was hot, convincing, and kicked some ass. Olivers shouldn't reject her like that.
RedHood3113
RedHood3113 - 3/21/2013, 10:30 AM
i still think he should have killed her. I guess keeping her alive will keep the constant love triangle going.. especially when Ollie gets a new squeeze. I'm sure well see her pop up again, and when we do I really hope we see Ollie put an arrow between her eyes. totally gonna miss Mckenna tho, she was a nice addition for the time. really curious to see where Tommy and Oliver's relationship will go from here tho.

So far this was the worst episode of the series. The Huntress is a pain in the backside, but she isn't a homicidal maniac. Oh! and the acting was atrocious! Hopefully this was just a bump in the road and not what we can expect from this terrific series from here on out.

ndwwrestler2 - 3/21/2013, 11:20 AM
@Whovian She wasn't a homicidal maniac? Did you see when she killed all those FBI agents?
