SUICIDE SQUAD!

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

Please let this be leading to Team Arrow and the Suicide Squad vs Deathstroke, Brother Blood and their army.

Whilst that episode wasn't quite as strong as the last view, thats simply a drop from 'unbelievably awesome', down to 'goddamn this is good!'.

I love that theres so many stories happening in the show at the moment. It almost feels like early Spiderman stories, where theres a villain of the week but thats surrounded by various ongoing storyarcs thats drop in and out as need be. I would like more Diggle centred episodes, because those are always good, but this season is head and shoulders above pretty much any live action superhero stuff out there, including the Marvel films. Hell, if they keep up this momentum its going to be at least comparable to B:TAS.

Amells really grown into the character, finding the right balance between Queen and Arrow. Moreover, he's managed to do something spectacular in finding a realistic voice, not only for both characters, but for all the different stages of Queen's life. Island Queen, Current Queen and Arrow Queen all look, sound and act completely differently and it comes across and entirely legitimate.

As I said though, the series only issue is theres almost too much going on. Laurel's decline in booze and drug abuse seems almost glossed over. And rewatching the first series, I don't feel its been giving the proper attention that character demanded. However, it seems they've made the choice to split the comic's Roy Harper's issues across both characters, which is building the sense of responsibility Queen has which Slade and Blood can exploit.

Its actually really stunning television. A complex and layered narrative, combining numerous threads but seemingly building towards one end. Its a show telling a fascinating story and doing it brilliantly.

I never in a million years would have though a TV show could include both excellent writing and a ton of comic book callouts like Arrow does.

Such a good show, and I am pumped to see where this Suicide Squad plotline is going. It could lead to an awesome crossover between Arrow and The Flash, too.

This show just keeps getting better and better , the ending of this week episode was f* awesome

[Harry The Arrow was Wrong!]

Holy shit, that trailer! Can't wait for tonight.

[knightrider01]

All I am going to say is...what an amazing episode. Also that was Harley in the promo wasn't it.

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

Awesome episode tonight. This show better get an Emmy nomination for stunt work.

That being said, the preview for The Suicide Squad episode aired tonight showed a major Batman character. Harley f***ing Quinn was in that preview. It has to be her, a blond female, with her hair like that, in a Suicide Squad episode, that's got to be Harley.

Harley??Damnit,I need to see this 2nd season.Binge watched the 1st season on Netflix and really enjoyed it...but the amount of characters I'm seeing show up this season is torture.I hate watching shit online,so I'm waiting for Netflix/bluray..sucks.

[Some Guy]

I'm really stunned at how good this show is turning out to be. And I don't get how they can pull off the fight scenes they do with such a tiny budget, while Agents of Shield looks like crap on a major network financed by a major movie studio.

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

HARLEY QUINN! We actually got Harley!

Great episode.

[knightrider01]

I know this has been asked alot but...what the hell happened on that Island?

[Harry The Arrow was Wrong!]

I hope we get more of Harley in future episodes and hopefully the actress can pull off her accent. Tara Strong voiced Harley last night. It was great to finally have another Diggle episode after him just being in the background for most of the season.

[Legion]

Harley popping up was fun, but I have to say that the Harley voice....it doesnt really suit live action.

And Amanda Waller is awful.

Really, she's an awful actress.

[Brood Lone Wolf Funker]

Honestly I have never seen an episode so I decided to borrow the first season from the library, and I am very very impressed

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

Really weak episode this week. It would've been better calling it something other than Birds of Prey, calling that implied it to be something that it was not.

[knightrider01]

I don't think I will ever understand how this thread gets no love yet AoS gets near 30 pages. Seriously after tonight this show is getting crazy.

[Harry The Arrow was Wrong!]

Holy shit, what an episode. Great to see Summer Glau back on the show and Manu Bennett is just killing it as Slade. It's so annoying that it's taking another 1 week break, especially after that ending.

[wakko]

Where the hell did Roy go? To get Flash? BBQ in Gotham?

But yeah awesome episode.
