I feel privileged!

(Back to Sara for a moment, though, I really hoped when Nyssa was adamant about seeing her body that meant we'd see her wake up later in a Lazarus Pit. Sadly, I don't think it is to be.)

I fear the stubborn "no-one on this show is going to have powers" approach the Arrow writers are employing is going to harm the show before long if they aren't careful. It was fine in a post-Flash world, but now that the two are sharing the same universe I don't see the point of beating around issues like the Lazarus Pit if they're going to use characters like Ra's.

Actually, Laurel is not the problem. It is her actress that is. I wish they could just have her get beaten up so badly that she has to have reconstructive surgery and they recast her.

So I just started Volume 4 of the N52 Flash and yeah, I am so glad I did not buy these. There have been some really great moments, such as the conversations between the Rogues during the Gorilla Invasion, but I really do not like this version of Grodd and I hate the design of Reverse Flash. I really hope he only looks like that because he is inside the Speed Force, and that is not what he looks like for real. If so, I already hate him. The Trickster issue started out good, but then it got really stupid and confusing with Marissa for some reason being frozen and that she was given powers, but then she is dead in the next issue, making her utterly pointless. Ugh, the writing in this sucks. At least Barry is Barry and I will admit, I like his N52 costume. It is a little too busy, but if you get rid of the lines, the only different it has with his original costume is in the boots.

I agree. I don't mind the show as it is, but seeing as how Flash introduced the whole "explosion caused powers" storyline, they kind of have to do it since they are neighboring cities in this version. They have shown that they're not afraid to give someone powers (The Mirakuru), but they need to give them actual powers. Not some drug.

Also, Boxing Glove Arrow ftw.

Black Canary is without a doubt my favourite character in the entire DC Universe, but Laurel is a bloody awful character and the idea of her taking up the mantle just fills me with dread. And even if I were behind it, its WAY too soon for her to be in a half-way decent fighter. Ted Grant may be good, but I doubt he's that good. If she's only going to be going after rapists/drug dealers/thugs whatever for the rest of the season then sure, but she's going to be nowhere near the level of any other fighter that appears on the show.

I miss Sara

Grant is that good. He's Wildcat for cryin out loud. If you want to learn boxing, you go see him. I say give it time. A lot of people didn't even want to try Arrow before word of mouth spread and now it's a hit.

Okay, first off I've been watching Arrow since day 1 so your last comment doesn't really apply. I've given it plenty of time and to have Laurel become Canary in half a season is RUSHING.

And secondly no. A few months training from a boxer would not put you on level pegging with people who've been trained by military experts or assassins for years. Arguably Roy has gotten as good as he is too quickly, but he's been at the fighting game A LOT quicker than Laurel. If Laurel is shown anywhere near the level of the current vigilantes when she becomes Canary, then the show is rushing stuff to terrible effect.

And to be honest, the "he's Wildcat for crying out loud" doesn't apply all that much either. This isn't the aged man who spent years training Batman and Black Canary in the comics. This is a relatively young guy who just had a stab at the vigilante game once. I'm sure he's a good teacher, but you're putting him on a pedestal this show just hasn't given him.
