Is this another comic book adaptation?
Television Arrow | Ending on Season 8

Agreed. This season is a complete crap - only slightly better than season 3 because felicity isn't as moany. Killing off Thea will probably the final straw for me.
Must be so easy for the dialogue writers on this show. 50% of it consists of people blaming themselves for stuff, 25% is people disagreeing and saying that they are actually to blame and the other 25% is them agreeing to let it go and stop blaming themselves.
So true
The entire angle about Oliver feeling responsible has been done to death, move the feck on now.But serious, they need not kill of Thea (though I certainly believe that could happen more than it was ever going to be Felicity).
Saying that, it will probably be Oliver killing malcolm or something, Thea not talking to him cos of that and then ... brother vs sister issues... :/
Also they really need to get rid of the League of Assassin. More like League of Getting Killed easily. Maybe killing Malcolm can see a reshape of it and see the league actually become better.
Nyssa vs Katana was fun though. I did laugh when Nyssa was huffing and puffing saying "we could fight until one of us tires but nah its gonna be a draw" whilst they show Katana, just smirking like its no sweat haha
Good to see Roy get a better goodbye / sendoff than he got in s3. ALso always nice to see Shado
I think Katana may be challenging Rihanna for the worlds biggest forehead.
Yeah she actually looked like an alien with that fivehead
I'm actually enjoying this season. Not just more than Arrow S3, but also more than the current Flash season too. The weak point for me is still the flashbacks. They're slightly more interesting than the Hong Kong stuff from last season, but still dragging episodes down and killing the pacing for the current storylines.
If they insist on flashbacks, wish they would change it up and show it for other characters. Maybe one for Felicity (and her dad) etc.
Looks like the cheesiness levels have risen in that episode.Not sure yet which direction it's heading in and the return of the League of Assassins was unnecessary because they really don't bring anything to the table.
They are the worst. They are just there to die. When laurel who had no training took them out, why would anybody be scared of them?
Looks like the writers heard you guys, the League has been disbanded and Merlin is back to being a prick.
Oh, so it figures now who dies, it's either that kiddo or his mum. I can't understand why Nyssa would disband LoA and throw that chocolate ring into a brazier but oh well. I'm glad that Malcolm is the foe again and I was pretty sure during that episode that he'd contact Darhk sooner or later, the cnut. Things finally get interesting in that sense.
I do wonder though, why didn't they simply go to that order of Tatsu that guarded this elixir and just asked them for another or something? I mean, they pointed out that they've brew it because of Lazarus' pit so they must've had a recipe or something stored somewhere or shit.

Absolutely rubbish episode. Wtf was that ?
I enjoyed this week's episode actually. End of the league, Thea lives, minimal island flashbacks, a Merlyn heel turn (with John Barrowman hamming it up to 11), and no dragging out of Felicity's dad's storyline. The show is slowly fixing all the problems from Season 3.
Im so glad they didnt drag out the calculator bit and he pretty much revealed to Felicity who he was. Made for a nice break.
This is pretty much how I saw it and why I liked it. As a conclusion to something s3 looked to have promised but couldnt deliver (especially League of jobbers). At first I thought he was going to say "Thea" in a dick move, but naming an even younger kid, what a villain lol.
Now that its all out the way, they can move forward with Oli and team Arrow vs Dahrk with heel Malcolm.

John Barrowman is just great
I know Ollie is strong but he defeated Malcolm a little too easily. Malcolm seemed lie he forgot how to fight. Did he also have to chop off his hand? What a cnut
I didn't particularly like the episode but at least it really advanced the narrative.

I love this episode, for the fact that Malcolm Merlyn gets to be an evil dude once again.
Could the grave belong to Samantha or William?
Hoping it's Felicity's mum. Perhaps Curtis?
lol at Oli calling Curtis.... "terrific" :P
I wish they would stop with the flasbacks, or if needed just dedicate it to other characters cos the Flashback thing is going nowhere and seems like its only there cos ...
So I might have forgotten, but does Dahrk know that Oli is Arrow? If not, I assume Malcolm would have told him, but I dont remember the latter happening on screen (and if it doesnt happen on screen, well)

I still don't know where this is going. I was a bit disappointed in this once again, especially due to this weeks Flash being great.
I really liked he show before - hope they can fix it before it's too late

Arrow has been hit and miss for a long time now. The Flash is so much better in every way, unless you like your series to be a bit darker, which has made this only more apparent.
I feel like I mainly watch Arrow to be up to date when it crosses over with The Flash, and for the odd Easter Egg (would have used 'Oracle', but it was taken) and Felelicty..
However, all that aside, it isn't the worst show and sometimes gets me interested. I believe it will get better as the season progresses. Vixen will be in the next episode or two, which should add a bit more of a supernatural feel to the show. Then, we'll see another crossover with Flash and the final battle with Darhk for a great climax to the season.
As for the grave:

As for the grave:
Diggle or Felicity's mum are my two front runners. Would be sad to see Diggle go, but he's making the most sense right now.
I must have missed it but when did they start calling Diggle as Spartan?
They decided to give everyone codenames a few episodes ago. Felicity is Overwatch, Oliver Green Arrow, Thea Speedy etc.
Zoom and DD are great villains. The difference is DD isn't in arrow as much as zoom is in flash
Have I missed something? Has Vixen ever been on the show before? She knows Ollie, Laurel and even talks about Barry so she knows he's the Flash, what the feck?
And why haven't they killed Darhk, simple as? Powerless cnut, you just know he'll find new bling to get his powers back. Felicity is a whiney bitch, shame she started walking again.

Vixen is a web series(animated, I think) they had on the CW website. I guess this was in continuation of that.
Ah, cheers mate, makes sense, thought I must've missed some episode or something.
The entire Oliver being sorry, carrying the weight of the world, feeling guilty... Ffs just stop with boring shit, this is the same stuff from Season 1 in almost every single episode.
That line about Constantine
Oh look, she is able to walk, just in time to walk out on Oli. Get it? Oh feck off Felicity with your constant whining. Stop being a bitch and expecting you can change somebody despite knowing him for 3+ seasons. Ugh.
Anyway, Vixen was great. I havent watched the animated webisodes yet, but I assume with some of the lines, I probably dont need to (the line about them doing something a year ago, was that just after he was killed by R'aas or after he married Nyssa?)
They need to either spend more time on the flashbacks to flesh it out, or just do away with them. The 2 seconds there, and then going back is done to death. Bleh.
Also how does Darhk not know Oli and Green Arrow are the same person? Hes been up close to both of them within hours. Also strange how Malcolm hasnt told him.
Well, as i said, Vixen (except how bad it looked seeing her spirit animal race through Darhk) was awesome.

So you destroy Dahrks source of power, and make him normal, then just leave him there after being such a major villain, and all that hes done so far, thats a major plot dumb dumb
Was going to whinge about Felicity again after watching it, decided not to as I realise I do a bit too much.. it's got to a point where her face annoys me (I used to find her decent on season 1) and every time she talks it annoys me. Are they seriously going to make her walk again after all that? If she stays on next season and they announce that there will not be crossovers with the flash... i'll probably stop watching this.
Agreed on everything else - although Vixen does seem strong on a show where people just shoot arrows. That said.. Damian Darhk should really have killed everyone by now which all his powers. It makes him look like an idiot that he still doesn't know Oliver and Arrow are the same person.
Felicity explained to her mother in the last episode that sometimes if people lie to you for greater good then its okay and sorta convinced her mother to not breakup with that police officer.
And then breaks up with Oliver for the same reason. This show

Same thing they do with Savage on the other show. Either make the main villain so untouchable it'll only the season' finale to bring him or just kill him off. It serves no one to see these plot blunders. Felicity can seriously feck off.
Exactly, legends of tomorrow is terrible I think, theyve killed savage twice and its only episode 5, the plot is all over the place and theyre showing too much too soon, you`re supposed to gradually build up the villain and story. Legends of tomorrow is all over the place
Back to arrow, this season is my least favourite by far, too much whining, dumb romance, personal crap, its not why people watch superhero movies or series
