What’s up, Gasmii?!?  Here we go with another episode of Arrow!  I for one hope that there is more excuses than ever for some shirtlessness.  Cross your fingers.

Last week on Arrow, Oliver fought a bitch in a wig and crossed another name off his revenge list, Whaurel was rather extraneous, and back on the island, a guy in a hoodie shot Oliver with an arrow.

We start with a voiceover from Oliver about how no one can know that he’s come back to the city to bring justice.  And Oliver is shirtless, doing weird exercises in the first few seconds.  Someone is listen to us, you guys.

Le sigh.

It looks like his target this week will be James Holder, whose company does shit like putting defective smoke alarms in low income housing.  We cut to Holder as he chills poolside on a rooftop at night.  Arrow  decides to shit on his evening and shoots the beer bottle Holder has in his hand.  Arrow starts lecturing him, and we see that an unknown person is watching this interaction through a scope and a weird Kano from Mortal Kombat style eyepiece.

Kano can only get very specific roles, so good for him!

Arrow is about to threaten Holder into some sort of justice when the assassin shoots Holder in the heart!  Arrow fires off a couple shots, then ducks behind a wall as the cyborg guy returns fire.  One of the bullets grazed Arrow’s arm, and then we’re back at hq.

Oliver took a correspondence class with Parsons design school while he was on the island, so he decides to sew himself up.  This is also another great excuse for shirtless Ollie.

“I suppose a topstitch will do.”

He crosses Holder off his list, so I guess he needs to find someone else to harass this week or go after the assassin.  He’s wobbly and his vision is blurry, so he realizes the bullet was poisoned.  He quickly goes to his naughty trunk and chokes down a bezoar. 

He also studied with Hogwarts via owl when he was on the island.

We flash back to the island where Oliver wakes up in a cave with the arrow still jutting out of his chest.  The hoodie guy walks in, and Oliver asks who he is and why he shot him.  Hoodie says in Chinese that it was to protect him.  He has Oliver eat some herbs and drink something, then pulls the arrow out.  Gross. 

Not the kind of shaft Oliver wants to be penetrated by, amiright?

Back at hq, some alarm goes off, and Oliver heads home to find police present.  Thea and her friends got wasted and broke into a store, and I’m already sick of her attention-starved behavior.  Diggle lost Oliver when he went to the bathroom last night, and Diggle says he’ll just have to watch him pee from now on.

    At this point, all the island needs is a polar bear.

    I’m still liking this show despite all the flaws. I hope the reveal to Diggle means that they won’t be using the voiceovers any more, because they are terrible. I also liked that they lost the “case of the weeK” story with Laurel, because she is completely unconvincing as a lawyer. Like, Katie Holmes in Batman levels of bad.

    Also, the corporate “auction” was the most f*ing hilarious thing ever. You don’t buy companies at a black-tie family event. The business world does not actually use Sotheby’s when a company goes bankrupt.

    @timgunssister I totally felt the Power Rangers vibe when he fought China White last week. But I think he has his moments! Maybe it was just her suckitude. I loved Laurel’s kidney punches, etc., I practically cheered. That eyepiece made me groan. It was so unnecessary and cheapened the show.

    @s-k-s “Katie Homles in Batman levels of bad” LOL. Unfortunately I caught a commercial that showed Diggle immediately attacking Oliver, so hopefully he gets that out of his system quickly. I agree that the voiceovers are useless.

    See you guys next week!

    I’m enjoying the show so far, but the female characters are rather unlikable. And yeah, I don’t buy Laurel as a lawyer either.

    Thank God for the shirtless workout montages.

    Maybe it’s all that eye candy distracting me from all those pesky little details that don’t make sense, …. But yowza, me like this show!

    Whaurel (and Katie Cassidy) suck major ass. I liked Felicity and her short exchange with Ollie/Arrow much more. They actually had some chemistry.
