Since I'm on vacation - and thus, home when Arrow is starting, for once - I thought we'd mark the occasion with a live commentary before I start work on the latest Arrow Episode Guide entry.
Word of warning - this DOES have SPOILERS! So don't read this until you've seen the episode!
0:00 - Ok. Piano music. Wasn't expecting that.
0:01 - Ah. Classic Hero/Secret Identity inter-cut scene.

0:27 - When did this become an after-school special?
0:29 - And now... well, probably an explanation. Maybe.
0:31 - Amazing how far Quentin and Ollie have come as characters. This conversation never would have happened before.
0:33 - That can't be sanitary.
0:38 - I was wondering if we'd see Roy in this one.
0:42 - That was a damned effective action sequence.
0:48 - And here we go...
0:50 - Niiiiiiiice trade off!
0:53 - Another reference to that particle accelerator. Wonder if that's a
0:54 - Never trust a smiling politician.
