I was thinking during the episode are we gonna get another Borg drone for mayor of Star City?

I liked 7 of 9 showing up.. Bu what is up with speedy? Glad she is recognizing she is getting out of control. And i was shocked that Laurel after SEEING this, is wanting Sara brought back via the pits.

We'll we knew Sara comes back in the Legends of Tomorrow VIA the lazarurus pit, but yeah kinda weird that Laurel would expose her sister to that after seeing what its doing to thea, maybe she thinks theres a cure for her, and the same thing can be done to Sara

Well Thea still seems fine other than some anger management issues. Laurel probably thinks its worth it to get Sara back.

Its not like Sara didn't have anger management issues before, I guess lol

I know their name dropping is usually pretty heavy handed in the Arrowverse, but I somehow didn't realize they were introducing the Anarky character until I saw the symbol on the ambulance. He didn't really look like he was going to be a noteworthy character at all, maybe because almost everything about him seemed unremarkable up until he suddenly was able to go toe to toe with Oliver.

Obscure Batman/DC villains are pretty standard for recurring villains on Arrow, but he was reimainged as a pretty big deal in the tragically short lived "Beware the Batman." He was the rough equivalent of the Joker in that show.

Which makes me wonder.. How is it we seem to get more and more foes who can stand toe to toe with him>??

[LtColCarter]

Seems like a solid episode. It was good to see Jeri Ryan again!

[LtColCarter]

I just wonder how Oliver will weather being a

Spoiler:

candidate for mayor

[garhkal]

So if he does get the mayoralship, does that mean no more running around with the bow and hood?

I think the implication is that he is rusty and general unwillingness to kill.

Oliver is responsible for those two dead paramedics. He should have let Anarky burn to death.

[Infinite-Possibilities]

Don't try to overthink the morality on this show. Last season he broke his vow to never kill against by taking out all those League of Assassins guys in an attempt to save a mass murderer who killed three of his own loved ones.

Also it's a superhero story. They always had to sidestep the inconvenient issue that vigilante justice is not an acceptable career choice.

That's a good question. I'm wondering the same thing? Or will he become Mayor Green Arrow?

[jelgate]

Why not do both?

Batman did it
