“I think you broke my implant!”

Ace snaps the shaft and charges for arrow.  They grapple, and the security guard starts to come to.  Hope you had a good nap, girl!  Arrow trips up Ace, and the guard comes out with a shot gun.  Arrow tells him he’s got this.

Be cool, bitch, Arrow does this kind of thing all the time.

King comes running out, but Arrow handily disarms him.  Ace gets up and it’s clear he’s not going to drop his weapon.  So the guard is going shoot, but King dives in front of him, taking the shot gun blast.  Arrow knocks out Ace, and tells the guard to call for help for King, who is bleeding to death. 

The guard leaves, and Ollie pulls his hood down since it’s obvious this motherfucker is going to die anyway. 

“You should have used that card.  I would have given you a family discount.”

Derek says that it wasn’t his son’s fault, that he turned him into this.

CAVE OF WONDERS

Ollie pulls the trigger, but it doesn’t work, and he understands that this isn’t really happening.  Ghost Daddy tells him that Ollie would have thrown away his father’s sacrifice had this been real.  Ollie whines that he isn’t strong.  I just can’t wait to see him really start to turn into the badass that he is in the present.  GD yells at Ollie to right his wrongs, apologizes for lying to Ollie, and tells him that he loves him.

PRESENT

The cops arrive, and Arrow hauls ass out of there.  Derek is dead.  Sadsies.

At the charity event, Tommy is drowning his sorrows, watching Whaurel throw herself at Carter.  Thea comes up to him and is a drunk ass mess.  She’s sloppy and flirty, and it is not a cute look.

“I can *HICCUP* fit my whole fist in my mouth.”

Tommy freaks out and says that she’s like a sister to him.  Thea slurs about being rejected by everyone in her life, and he escorts her outside to vom.  Whaurel comes to check on them, and he plays it off on bad crab cakes.  He makes a snide remark about Mr. Oz Jr. in there, and Whaurel makes sure Tommy knows the guy is a douche.  She only danced with him because he wrote a big check.

“I’m a whore.  That’s what I do.”

She reassures him that there’s still a chance at getting all up inside her.  Tommy and Thea take off to pour her into bed.  The chemistry between Tommy and Whaurel is actually kind of cute, and I find myself routing for him.  Which makes me all the sadder when I think about the comics and how Tommy Merlyn is Green Arrow’s nemesis.  I really don’t want Tommy to go all Lex Luther.

    I am watching to show still, simply for the shirtless Oliver parts. They need to have more of those, lots more. I really dislike Oliver’s hair, both his ‘present’ hair and the wicked bad wig they put him in for the island parts. Is it wrong to say that Oliver is hot when he has on the Green Arrow make-up?

    I think they are going to have Whaurel & Tommy develop more and get a little serious. Then she is going to dump him for Oliver. That will set up the whole Tommy becoming evil and hating Oliver story-line. I have never read the comics so that is purely my guess.

    How old is Thea? She was acting like a teenager, but for her to actually like Tommy, I am guessing 18, just finishing high school. I don’t know. All these 20-something actress playing teenagers makes it hard to guess age.

    I am still loving the show, although some of my opinions on the characters have changed. I like Tommy a lot, and don’t want him to be an enemy of Oliver, but if it expands his role, it could be good! I love a good villain.

    What I don’t get is what is so great about Laurel…seriously, she’s a bit high and mighty for my liking. Why do all these guys fawn over her like she’s the greatest thing since sliced bread? Not sure it’s believable that both Oliver AND Tommy would want to give up their playboy ways for someone like her. I mean, at the very least they’d have an awful in-law to deal with!

    Thea actually intrigues me…with so many references to “Speedy” which is supposedly her comic book alter ego, maybe we’ll be seeing her in superhero form sooner than expected? And I’m starting to like Moira, even though she might turn out to be a huge bitch. I like characters with a lot of depth and motivations.

    Don’t like Dead Dad at all. Well, okay, I didn’t like Oliver’s hallucination of him. I’m pretty sure it isn’t Oliver’s problem if you fucked over the entire city, you don’t have to be such a royal prick about it, figment of Oliver’s imagination!

    Does him throwing some of the papers in the fire mean his list of who to take revenge on is incomplete?

    I like this show. I’m watching for the Green Arrow parts though.

    I’m thinking Tommy’s going to become an enemy because Oliver’s going to go after his father.

    I don’t understand how Thea thought Tommy was talking about her. Nothing he said or did implied that it was her. And she knew that him and Laurel had a thing before.

    @Andrea I was thinking the same thing. As soon as I saw him throwing pages in the fire, I figured out what was going to happen. It bothered me the whole episode.

    @carol I can still only see Thea as young Katilin Cooper on the OC, so my age range might be skewed.

    @andrea I’m poorly versed in DC, and I’m pleased to learn about the reference to Speedy! That could add some much needed depth to her character. Even if it is some ways down the line. And yes, Laurel does need a boost in likability and an injection of personality.

    @sagittariuskim I love your idea about Tommy/Oliver. That would be the only way to make a believable rift. I’m just hoping it’s not over Laurel.

    I’ve willingly suspended my disbelief and really enjoy \Arrow,\ but I’m bothered by his apparent mad computers skillz. As a dyed-in-the-wool dilettante he would hardly have been a computer geek before the fateful cruise, and it doesn’t look as though there’s any electricity on the island.

    But one look at these workout scenes and I realize it doesn’t matter after all. I’ll definitely keep watching.

    No more Arrow recaps? I read them faithfully, but due to the current changes at work and how this site has become ad-central I don’t comment.
