Magnificent

So, so don't agree with this other review above.

Difficult to write this, as I was unsure if I would like Arrow straight after Smallville but heck this is brilliant and this episode is atypical. Top notch.

Just cannot believe the script the situation the characters find themselves in - love it!

In addition, if this is soap well so be it and damn good as one. Writing as a Brit it certainly has nothing to do with soaps like Neighbours or Crossroads or give me any American soap, bugger all to do with anything like them.

The secrecy about identifies the relationships it's magnificent when they finally come clean - you cannot beat it for breaking the Polar ice.

I recently have got into this DC comics thing and I have to admit it I am hooked.

Also and very importantly, DC Comics have wiped the floor with the Marvel films. These EPIC TV dramas allow the viewer to get to know the characters and if you have had anything like a family in this lifetime, you know what I mean. Back off mean spirited me, me and me and computer games types this is not for you - especially if you think it is like a bloody soap because in a very, very little way it is.

It certainly is not all about the endless killing. The Arrow is right on there. We have enough of that in the real world.

Still going strong..... Warning: Spoilers
....as a prime time soap opera with violence.

One of the sillier aspects of this soap opera is Sara Lance, aka Canary. When she is in Canary mode she wears a skimpy little mask across her eyes, but does nothing with her rather distinguished full head of blonde hair. It's the same shade and style as when she is Sara without the mask. And yet no one recognizes her that the two are one in the same. Not even her sister Laurel notices that Canary is her sister Sara, not even when she is in such close proximity to her during the rescue at the hostage crisis. At least Ollie does make an attempt (rather lame imo) at disguising himself by wearing a hood when he is Arrow. Then again, no one notices that Ollie and Arrow have such remarkably similar facial hair!
