Oh.My.God.

Seriously, could NOT believe last weeks episode!! I was like "No, not gonna happen. He won't. OH MY GOD!" I think I sat there with my mouth hanging open for like a minute. I was really kinda hoping that we might get him back as a good guy but now that's just gone.

Oliver is gonna go INSANE. I'm not looking forward to that spiral.

All I can think though is when Laurel and Thea find out what's going on it's going to get even more ugly.

Grace, I love her dad SO much. He started out just awful but they've done such a good job with his changes. I really want to see what happens when/if he finds out who Arrow is. But sorry, Laurel is still seriously bugging me. She's up, she's down, she's pouty, she's mad and so on. Right this minute she isn't at her most super annoying but I imagine as soon as anything changes she'll be right there again. Which sucks because again, I think she could be a super strong character.

I also can not believe how we're only what? Two years into the Island? And all this has happened? Holy cow, three more years left.

And, I really want Roy there as a good guy. Because I like him but I hate him flipping out every which way.
Yeah seriously! I just watched that episode today, and omg :( Totally going to wreck Oliver, that is going to just suck to watch.

Yes, Laurel's dad is totally becoming an awesome character! I love how he has progressed through the series.

Laurel is a bit better at the moment, but you're right Linds she is just all over the place and that is kind of annoying too. I can see potential in her but she has a ways to go.

Thea has been seriously bugging me, like you said Grace it's reasonable teen behavior but kind of irritating to watch!

You're totally right, it's crazy that the island storyline is only a few years in, total madness. I can't even begin to imagine what else will go down.

Totally agree about Roy, and really interested to see where that goes.

Only a few more episodes left in this season, booo...

That last part where he turned around when he commented on her courage? AUGH. I let out a breath of relief but NOPE. That scene was just so intense. So many emotions, especially given her conversation with Oliver earlier.
I know, I totally thought we were golden when he made the comment about her courage. Kind of a shocker there!

I guess on the bright side, this (and everything else) makes Slade a great villain! And also, didn't even think of the island timeline thing. Wow!! That's very true. Huh.

Can't wait for tonight's episode! Look forward to seeing what this all means for the rest of the characters. Oliver in particular, but I'm guessing there's also going to be a lot of guilt and pain on Thea's part.

I can't wait either, I hope I get to watch it tonight! Thea is totally going to have a hard time with too, I'm hoping she doesn't lay too much blame on Oliver (could see it happening, maybe).

I tried to get my sister to watch Arrow, she watched a couple episodes and said it wasn't terrible but maybe not good enough to keep watching. It took me a while to get hooked so I told her to keep going with it but I'm not sure if she has. I like having people to geek out to things with, so I'm glad for you guys ;)

Blacklist was a bit disappointing this week but curious to see where it is going. SHIELD has been awesome though. And I've been totally sucked into Orphan Black. One episode to go for season 1, and I have the next 2 recorded so I can catch up.

Watching Arrow in a couple minutes but I like this season so far!

Oh, and the other thing I'm watching right now is Grimm, I'm almost done with the first season and REALLY liking it!

Right?! RIGHT?! JUST TELL ME ALL THE SECRETS RIGHT NOW DAMMIT!

Also, I hate everything about the Tom thing. But holy surprises Batman.
YES! I want to know ALL things.

What do you guys think Red is to her? I mean, he said he would never lie to her so when he said he wasn't her father I believe him but he's really good at splitting hairs so I could see that to mean he didn't raise her but he's biologically her father. But, that seems way to obvious. I want to KNOW! I was thinking maybe he was the cause or something for the fire that killed her parents? The thing she has the burn from? But I don't know.

And seriously, Tom needs to LIVE a horrible life. I don't want him to die because that's too easy. What he did was just, ugh.

I've also really come to like...blond FBI guy that I can't remember his name. The one who has bad day after bad day and then his ex fiance turned girlfriend gets murdered. I didn't like him at first but really do now.

Thea has been seriously bugging me, like you said Grace it's reasonable teen behavior but kind of irritating to watch!
Yeah, the thing with Thea is I totally get where she's coming from. You know, finding out a mass murder is really your father and apparently everyone but you knew about it on top of Roy going nuts and leaving her and everything being so shady doesn't make her actions unreasonable. But, it makes them SO annoying to the viewer.

And the thing is, I had come to really kinda like her a lot so I'm sad about all this.

You know though who needs more air time and who I really really like? Sin. I think she's just completely awesome and needs to be brought in to the fold.

I guess on the bright side, this (and everything else) makes Slade a great villain! And also, didn't even think of the island timeline thing. Wow!! That's very true. Huh.

I really hope that Thea doesn't somehow make this Ollie's fault though. I don't want to deal with more of that. Angst is fine, but her turning on her brother would make me so angry.

And yeah, Slade is just BAD.

I can't wait either, I hope I get to watch it tonight! Thea is totally going to have a hard time with too, I'm hoping she doesn't lay too much blame on Oliver (could see it happening, maybe).
Yes exactly! I wonder how it's going to be explained though, why he would do that, how he knew him on the "deserted" island.

Which, by the way, speaking of the Island. So, did they all get off at different times? I mean, all these people from the Island are out around but it was a huge deal with Oliver got off and came home. I mean, we have the Russian(s), Slade, Sarah, Oliver.

Grimm is great!

I'm confused about Blacklist - did Red admit he was her father with the music box or not?

Ok so I finally watched the last episode of Arrow. Thoughts?

There was definitely some blaming going on from Thea...I totally understand that she has been through an insane amount of terrible things, but it still upsetting to hear her lay blame on Oliver (even though I was kind of expecting it).

Interesting to have Laurel right in there, in the know. Not really sure how I feel about it since it seems like maybe we'll be seeing a whole lot more of her now, and she's still just not my favourite...

Enough of you guys keep saying good things about Arrow that I'm going to have to watch season one on Netflix now.
You should! I would give it quite a few episodes before passing judgement...it did take me a while to get hooked. There's definitely still some cheesiness that I could do without, but the story is really good.

New episode of Orphan Black today! So hooked on that show it's not even funny.

And Game of Thrones tomorrow!!!

Mostly just can't wait for next week's episode. I want to know what's going to happen!!!

And yeah, I was rolling my eyes at Thea at the beginning, but I am glad that she and Oliver parted on a good note. I also really like her stepfather and wish he'd make more appearances. He's a good dude. Wonder what's going to happen to Thea, though.

As far as Laurel goes, agree with you on not really wanting more screen time for her. She was sort of out of place, like the writers put her there just to give her that screen time. Wasn't working for me. I think part of the reason why I was warming up to her was because I WASN'T seeing her as frequently LOL I felt that she was in the way.

On that note, my roommate is on Season 2 Episode 14 and every time she finishes up an episode (since this season), she's vented to me about how much she hates Laurel :p

I really dont watch much TV now so many of these shows I have only heard of. My friends are all super into them but meh, just havent made the time for some reason. I have a hard time getting into things on tv...tend to get distracted by the internet or a book while I am trying to watch things for some reason unless I am really into it.

Most current now show I am into is Orange is the New Black...I really really enjoyed the first season and am impatiently waiting for the next.

Oldies...yes, loved Gilmore Girls, Scrubs, and yep, I am old, Roseanne is still one of my tops.

And then there is Carnivale...still pissed they never finished it. I NEED to know what happened!

I love Cosmos too!

Need to find some time today to watch last night's Orphan's Black. I watched the first season this week and had recorded the first two of this one, so finally caught up. Really love that show, even though it was really bizarre at first.

I think my main issue with Laurel in Arrow is her face. She's just too weird looking. But curious to see how this season will end too (guessing on a horrible cliffhanger).

Yeah ugh, definitely wanting to know how it's all going to play out. I totally agree that Laurel's part felt a bit forced, out of place for sure. I think you're right, I was probably also liking her better because she wasn't around as much! Also now she's in the know, I feel like it's inevitable that her and Oliver will get closer/get together and blaaah, I'm so not keen on that.

I've been thinking of trying out Vikings, I've heard a few good things about it, so might give it a shot.
