Ep17. Arrow's worst episode. Really retarded. I feel ashamed for having watched it..
I was just going to write this. I just... WTF did I just watch? Was that a... a... Bee... Man? Made out of... Machine Bees? And he... fought them? Like... with his fists?
Holy crap. Someone really smoked the wrong kind of weed in the writing room
Basically set photos of Arrow show that the episode will feature the attendance of 2 burials; one of Sara's (flashback) and one of some other character. Laurel's actress is nowhere to be seen while all members of her family including the actress that plays her mom every 45 episodes was there, which would make sense if Laurel is the one inside the coffin. Also the parallel of the death of the 2 sisters makes sense or else why are they now flashing back to Sara..
Furthermore in the set of Legends of Tomorrow a picture with Laurel's grave has been taken. Of course Legends deals with alternate futures/pasts but the evidence keeps mounting.
Lastly the character is also set to appear on The Flash as their Earth-2 version
"In the parallel universe, Laurel takes on the moniker of Black Siren, who was a member of the Justice Society and the mother of Dinah Laurel Lance in the DC Comics canon."
so there's a chance they are killing the Earth-1 version to replace them with their Earth-2, possibly even moving them from Arrow to The Flash next season.
Alternatively it's just a one time appearance as consolation for the death of the character.

Either fakeout and they will reveal someone else actually died or it's happening for real. It can't be that something isn't happening with the character given all the evidence IMO..
Tonight we'll get to know.

you said tonight, and i thought 'surely not... theres other shows i watch that show up before arrow and they haven't shown up yet...'
and turns out that they, including flash, are on another break? WHY is flash on a fucking break again? AGAIN. even arrows going on another short break after this ep....
They have to take content that is barely enough for 6 months and stretch it to 8+.
Granted the previous seasons of Arrow and Flash were finishing in mid May but this time they will finish in late May so they have added another 2 weeks of breaks compared to previous years.

Regarding the "secret" before the death, I read interviews and the person is confirmed to be 1000000% dead: what they told Arrow guy will be revealed in the next season but it doesn't have anything to do with the death.. nor will the death be revealed as fake.. nor will they ever come back from it.
However the producers acknowledge through multiple Earths etc we might be seeing more of the character in future seasons.

"hi! im fine! have a look at this thing.. oooh so emotional, lets have a heartfelt conversation.. oh noes, im dead!"
that whole hospital scene was just so awkward, completely random and the death came out of nowhere... it reminded me of that equally shit 'death' in avengers, which was so obviously a trick... unless this is just an all new level of shitty writing on arrow, it has the stank of 'just a trick'... even though youre saying 'they swears for reals theyz dead'... from that episode, it just doesnt feel like it.
unless, as i said... woeful writing even by arrow standards.
It's just bad writing/directing/editing. The character is mega dead.

To be honest, as far as Arrow goes, I still found it to be one of the better episodes. It was pretty obvious how the hospital scene will go but it's not like such
Spoiler:
"got better, no, she's dead"
tricks were never used in any other show. Also, the silent scene with
Spoiler:
Lance
there at the end was a nice touch.
All in all, while the episode definitely could've been directed better, Arrow being Arrow, I'd rather watch episodes like this one more often, than see 4 badly choreographed fight scenes one after another following a stupid quasi-script. Or a bee man. God, I wish I could unsee that one.
"My name is Oliver Queen. After five years of the writers shipping me with Laurel, I was returned home with only one goal: to marry Felicity. But their old approach wasn't enough. They had to do something else. They had to take out.. Laurel!"

That was such an awkward shot!!! Not because they didn't shoot as I've read online - they didn't have a kill order after all, but the way the dudes are choreographed in the scene is ughhhhhh

LOL, at the event, the cops had orders to take him in, but not a single cop did anything. They all just stood there like morons while he made his awkward escape, even though he's an armed suspect and they have every right to shoot to wound.
Because of the budget cut, Oliver's skills are worse than ever, so they have to dumb down the opposition to below storm trooper level.
"I think Call of Duty resonates because it's believable and relatable," Sledgehammer Games cofounder Michael Condrey says.
Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty
1) "OMG they are going to destroy Canary's legacy, everyone is going to think she is a murderer".
2) Arrow guy appears and everyone hears him saying this is NOT the real Canary. Clearly-fake Canary also does not object so it's super clear that yes, she's not the real thing.
3) Now you expect that this plot point is over right? Nope, next thing you know Arrow team comments how everyone in that room now knows the Canary is a murderer.
Then what was the point of the writers staging the encounter in public with a crowd if they are going to treat the crowd as deaf???
And don't get me started on how the Flash's appearance is not at all in sync with what happens on his show. I'm not even sure if I should think of the scene as happening shortly before
Spoiler:
he lost his powers
or shortly after.. or not at all so that I don't get a headache.

"but that's impossible, the device works only with Laurel."
Said 3-4 times during the show aaaaaaaaaaaand.. eventually dropped and they never explained how she did it.

Ep 20. This episode was way better than the average episode of this season.
Directing, cinematography, twists (even if predictable).. New locations..
The best episode of the season for me. I'm not even sure how it happened, it's like the director was finally given a decent budget to work with to shoot in new sets and the writers got the balls to actually write something that isn't the same episode rehashed for its 20th time.
Here's hoping the season ends on a high note.

Yeah, I agree. I'd go as far as to say this was the best Arrow episode since... well, a long while. Which is actually irritating, because it gives me hope the show could bounce back to a decent quality level yet. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in...
