I noticed this, and it drove me crazy. How do you make this shot, pan to the phone, and not go HEY SOMETHINGS WRONG HERE.
because the people making the episode are worried about more technical things like what the actors are doing and whether or not the shot is angled right. it's easy to miss the forest for the trees at that point. Supernatural (I think it was the first ghostfacers episode) had a fricking sound man with a boom mic standing fully in the shot. totally blew my mind that it got through editing, but it happens.

Is there any significance to Laurel's little finger having black nail polish?
Could have been a reference to Harley Quinn. Also noticed she is wearing a red jacket and in next weeks teaser it shows her about to shoot Ollie's bow, possible Red Arrow reference? I know Roy is Speedy/Red Arrow/Arsenal, but it could hint Laurel taking up the Black Canary mantle actually happens (I hope not, Katie Cassidy does not look like she would be able to pull off the choreography)

Was a good setup episode, they had to be careful not to overshadow the finale.

I'm really really torn on the BC issue, I like Sara as Canary but also understand the evolution of Laurel to become Canary. I don't have an issue with Laurel since I think the writers made her semi-unlikeable, she's been looking healthier lately too. Bleh hard to see which way it's going to go. I also don't think they will de-power Slade I'd imagine they would use the anidote on Roy.

Spot on how I feel I love Sara and cause of the whole sara backstory on the island we know how she got all her training from the flashbacks, plus I feel she is more natural at the fight scenes don't know if Katie Cassidy could pull off BC but this show is 1 the best on TV not to mention its from the CW so I trust the writers and directors should they go with Laurel over Sara just don't want sara killed off even if they go that route she could drop in from time time, and certain episodes help.

I guess I'm in the minority since I'm not much of a fan of Sara at all. She's got a rockin' body, for sure (particularly her ass), but the constant sour expression on her face really annoys me. She's not a terrible actress or anything, and I'm not sure that Laurel is doing any better in this show (I thought she was fine in Supernatural and Harper's Island), but I won't miss her when she's gone at all. If killing her spurs the storyline into even more awesomeness in future seasons, I'm all for it.

Oh, and as already mentioned, Ravager's outfit was terrible. That mask/helmet looked like she should have been called Light-Bulb Head as opposed to Ravager. This is what you get when you mate a Conehead with Megamind. Why put all of her hair inside the helmet? Dumbest costume ever.

lol, it did look like a light bulb, maybe the costume designer got her head size wrong or something. in one of those videos i link i think the guy charlie said, that katie lotz (sara) is already on board for season 3 so she isnt going anywhere.

I'm much more forgiving on the Ravager costume, it looked ok not great but could be much worse. I sure do hope Sara stays on the show, if they do go the route of Laurel as BC, I hope they make it a season long arc and write Sara out without having to kill her.

I also didn't realize that there are two more episodes! Glad to see that Nyssa is back for the finale along with Malcolm.

Even if Sara dies, she'll still most likely be featured heavily in the flash backs.

Xenomorph looking ravager mask was lame, i dunno what the fuck the costume designers were thinking. Still the best show on TV. I don't really feel one way or the other about the BC situation as long as some stupid love triangle thing doesn't get any real screen/plot time, that shit is what made the beginning of season 1 so slow and meh. I feel one of the great things about the show is it not being about adolescent sex/romance entanglement emo-shit. Let teenage girls watch the vampire diaries for that crap. Diggle has a chick he's fixed on that is rarely seen, Felicity has a nerd romance with guy on another show that will only be seen in crossovers, and Oliver's romantic thing with Sara has been pretty much a 5 seconds per show footnote the whole season. The worst thing they could do is turn Arrow into 90210 next season. Just keep doing what you're doing now, sustainthis shit right here!

Xenomorph looking ravager mask was lame, it was more then lame for show that hits everything out of the park she almost looked retarded wearing that mask, if I was Diggle would have fell down on the floor laughing at her mask.

Besides, we all know that Sara isn't Black Canary, Laurel is. Now that she knows that Oli is Arrow, and he knows she knows, there won't be anything holding him back from training her in season 3 to replace Sara. Well, he'll obviously be against it at first, but she won't accept him not training her. She's going to be the Roy of season 3.
Sara or Nyssa will train Laurel. Hopefully both, and naked.

i cant believe they are pulling all the stops on a non season finale episode, and these are all practical stunts. holy shit, geeking out so hard.

edit
that was so beautiful. cant believe this is a tv show. movies arent even this awesome. next week looks like its going to top this one, which is insane considering this was one of the best episodes of tv i have ever seen.
