I DON'T KNOW WTF IS GOING ON WITH THIS SHOW

But I love it.

[Brady Brown]

Also, BARRY ALLEN IS ABOUT TO GET UP IN THIS SH*T

[Jack Malone]

This show actually manages to, as fans would say "hit me right in the feels." Seriously, so many times I've either teared up, got a lump in my throat, or was just like asdfghjkl; *dead*. This week it was definitely the Oliver/Felicity stuff, and how Felicity felt guilt over his actions to save her and he was all like "it wasn't a choice." ffs get married you douchebags. Thank you.

Just caught up with the last two episodes. Now THAT is how you do a mid-season finale! Actually thought I was watching a full-fledged season finale. Arrow is doing an awesome job this season, and I can't wait to see how the new Flash show is going to turn out. Definitely one of my favorite shows right now.

AND SLADE IS ALIVE AND SH*T JUST GOT REAL

[Jamison]

The last two episodes were amazing! Barry Allen was awesome. Knowing he wouldn't be sticking around, I was going through the episodes saying "Nooo, can we keep him!??" HAHA! But then I remembered that he should be getting his own show, so I calmed down a bit after that. Arrow has seriously stepped up its game from season one. It's on a completely new level of awesome now.

[Brady Brown]

So, Huntress is set to return sometime this season and the episode is apparently called "Birds of Prey" and I'm freaking out.

Dude, I am so ready. I honestly do like this version of Huntress, and wish she had little arcs that kept her around longer. I'm also glad that the episode in question is #17, and there were rumors of Sara dying around episodes 12-13. Which is impossible now because she will be in "Birds of Prey". So yay! Although, I wonder what will eventually happen to transition from her being "Canary" to Laurel being the "Black Canary".

I'm pretty much guessing they're going to kill Sara off, then have Laurel realize that she can do good by doing something other than being a lawyer. I feel like she'll be inspired by her sister, but I would honestly love for both of them to stay around. And hopefully we'll be getting a "canary cry" soooooooon!

BLOODY HELL YES^^

One another website I visit frequently, the poster commented that he feels like Laurel is being phased out... and it got me thinking... what if 'Laurel' is just ANOTHER HENRY JAMES OLSEN?!?!?! What if, all this time, spent with 'Laurel', and everyone thinking she's based on 'Dinah Lance', that she's actually a red herring and 'Sara' is the TRUE 'Dinah Lance'?!?!

I think there are quite a few fans at the moment who are expecting the Henry James Olsen twist for Laurel, and its not without its merit because I was actually discussing this the other day with some other fans who were really worried that was going to happen.  But the reason its not the case is because she was introduced in the pilot as "Dinah Laurel Lance", and Katie Cassidy recently confirmed that the Black Canary route is the direction for her character.  I really love Sara, and I don't want her to die, but I do think this finale will involve her including the league of assassins in the fight against Slade, and thus making herself in debt with the league and having to return with them before the season is over.  It makes room for her to come back whenever the writers want, plus, I think she became quite a fan-favourite among the fans so they don't exactly want to kill her off.  But Laurel is definitely going to be Black Canary, and I think something is gonna happen in the finale because KC seems way too excited, moreso than usual, about what is going to take place in these last three episodes c:

[Jamison]

I just love this show. I wasn't that big a fan of the first season. Couldn't get through it, and ended up having to read about it on wikipedia before season 2 started. But I must say, the writers have really stepped up their game this season. It's been quite a thrilling ride, and it's finally a show I'm excited about tuning into every week. Seemed to go by pretty quickly as well, but maybe that's just me.

My favorite characters have got to be Felicity, Sara and Laurel. These three women are just fantastic, and I really hope we don't lose any of them. I've got a feeling Sara won't be sticking around for season 3, but hopefully the writers send her character off without killing her, if that's what they indeed plan on doing. Is next week the finale? I'm not even sure, but I know the season's almost over, and I'm pretty pumped!

[Jack Malone]

Oh god, can we actually get that Sara petition going?  I love her character so much.  I honestly think with her what's going to happen is that she's gone to rally up the League of Assassins to help Oliver and the team in the fight against Slade Wilson, but in order to have them risk their lives in doing so she's put herself back in their debt.  I doubt they'd just rock up for someone who was never meant to leave the league in the first place.  So either Sara will die at the end of this season, or her debt with the league will remove her from the show for a while but allow for guest spots whenever the writers find the right story for her.  She is totally dying on the island this season, though.  If I remember correctly, Oliver did say that he thought she had died on the island, which is why he never mentioned the fact that she survived the boat accident.  Also, my question is, her entire run as "The Canary" is meant to relate to Laurel's journey in some way, and if they are getting rid of Sara's involvement in the show, in the capacity that she's in it now, how are they going to tie those two in with one another, especially in just two episodes?

MY THOUGHTS ON THE ARROW S2 FINALE:

SPOILER: Click to show

- WTF.
- But forreal, that was amazing.
- I'm so happy they didn't kill off Sara, but still mad she left.
- Speaking of that, I loved how Sara gave Laurel her jacket; it just seemed so symbolic of Laurel eventually taking up the Canary role. Am I the only one who thought that? Oh... okay...
- THEA QUEEN, IF YOU DO NOT COME BACK AS SPEEDY I'MMA BE PISSED.
- Why was Isabel even there...
- NYSSA AND FELICITY ARE BAMFS.
- Laurel was awesome as well, especially when she punched that Deathstroke wannabe.
- Did I mention I loved this episode?
- That Oliver/Slade fight sequence was ON POINT.
- Olicity 5ever
- Diggle actually had something to do, AND NOW HE HAS A KID WHAT?
- I wanna see more Amanda Waller because she interests me.
- I don't even know what that ending was but I'm so intrigued and I love it.
- SEASON 3 AND THE FLASH CAN YOU HURRY?

[Jack Malone]

But guys, Katie Cassidy dyed her hair blonde, and is getting ripped at the gym. I sense we're finally getting The Black Canary next season *dies*

[Jamison]

So, Arrow's back.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}I'm still not over the death of Sara Lance. Caity Lotz is supposed to be in a few episodes this season. They'll probably be flashbacks, but I'm glad we'll get to see her again. Here's hoping they throw her in the Lazarus pit before the season's over though.

[Brady Brown]

SPOILER: Click to show

I agree with Chris. I'm still not over Sara Lance's death. I knew it was inevitable, but I didn't expect it to happen as soon as it did. My only hope is that she'll be placed in the Lazarus pit.

ON A MUCH HAPPIER NOTE, this season has been awesome so far. I liked the Olicity stuff they gave us, Laurel is on the road to being Black Canary and I can't wait, but what I'm most excited for is THEA QUEEN.

I know I'm the minority with Thea being my favorite character (I relate to her so much, but that's an entirely different conversation). But watching her become such a strong young woman is something i absolutely cannot wait to see. I'm so happy she's going to be a focus of the next episode, and I'm so excited to see the journey she had with Malcolm for the last five months.

BASICALLY, ARROW IS HEARTBREAKING AND AMAZING.

[Jack Malone]

I am 200% ready for Laurel to become Black Canary and for Thea to kick the shit out of Oliver Queen. BOOYAH!
