    You have no idea how awesome it was that they had the steering wheel on the right when they were in the car in Hong Kong.

    Sooooooooo many movies/tv shows screw up that detail it is one of my biggest pet peeves.

    @king_kenobi62: Diggle said something along the lines of "the department sent her to Saint Walkers for evaluation" or something like that.

    I enjoy how Roy said "She shouldn't have beat me"

    I was thinking "WELL OBVIOUSLY, WHATS WRONG WITH YOU MAN"

    I've never been a fan of Cupid the comic character, but it played out much better on television than I had envisioned. I thought I would hate this episode, but I ended up liking it a great deal. It had some small problems like Ollie not seeing her through the window, Roy getting taken out so easily, and Roy not recognizing her in the club, but the episode was still solid. Cupid may not be a popular or legitimately threatening villain (even with her SWAT training) to Green Arrow, but it worked great for a villain of the week episode. I thought Amy Gumenick did a lot with the character even though Cupid is essentially just a stalker. And yes, Amy Gumenick is beautiful as well. The writers made the smart decision of exploring all the main characters romantic feelings (except for Laurel and Ted because there wasn't enough time) in an episode staring a crazy chick named Cupid. The only thing better would been if this had played in February. They put their own spin on how love is crazy no matter who you are. My favorite part was when Ollie dislocated his thumb (I need to learn how to do that) to save Cupid from the train, after which she says "I knew you really loved me". All in all a really good one-off episode. 7/10

    PS The Flashback scenes are getting better but still not to the level they've been in the past 2 seasons.

    I laughed at the "Diggle killed Sara" remark, lol. The relationship drama was indeed way too heavy handed in this ep. Somehow I feel the new DJ is connected to Merlyn, as well.

    It's getting closer and closer the moment, the episode when Oliver and Roy realize they're meant to be together and finally share a passionate kiss!!!

    Felicity and Ray should totally stick together. They're a cute couple.

    I actually really liked this episode. I thought Cupid worked since she was so crazy/creepy. It was probably one of my favorite episodes of the season, but it looks like I might be in the minority on that.

    I personally felt that this episode deserved 4 stars.

    I wasn't expecting much coming into it but I was wrong.

    Everything about the DJ was stupid. Stunningly arrogant. She hires him without knowing anything about him. He fixes everything by playing one song. Apparently no one else is even a half-decent DJ in Starling City so she has to go with the first guy, and then with him. So amazingly annoying.

    It's annoying that both Thea and Laurel are becoming fighters. Neither one should be. But if we had to have one, it would definitely be Thea. At least she has a better haircut now.

    And Roy eventually needs to get some kind of break in some part of his life!

    When Ray was doing pullups, I swear he mentioned Richard Grayson in regard to technique or something. Did anybody else catch that egg?

    Season 3 has not been great has it...

    I'm hoping when they reveal the big bad if the season after the Flash vs Arrow crossover, Arrow picks it's pacing back up

    Also, anyone else feel that this was just a filler type episode...

    Nothing major happened apart from Captain Boomerang and the Ray and Felicity kiss and that's about it

    Ah arrow has me in all types of turmoil. It's good one week and then dips. However I'm really liking the ray palmer character. Brandon routh is amazing and it really annoys me that he wasn't given another turn at being superman.

    @ostyo: I distinctly remember one of the producers saying last year that Batman wouldn't show up. Fun fact: in the Golden Age, before he was really given his own personality, Ollie was just Batman in a Robin Hood suit.

    And I accidentally the post you replied to.

    Dang. Cupid was annoying, Roy was annoying, Ollie was annoying, and Diggle was annoying. Felicity and Ray should just have their own show. I'd watch that.

    A redhead who likes gardening and wants to jump the heroes bones. Why does that sound familiar?

    I don't think she did any gardening

    the fact that it took place at Sherwood Florist was a fan service

    that was Dinah's flower shop in The Longbow Hunters

    I can sort of see that. The comic version was pretty much a discount Harley.

    @amazingwebhead: I guess so, but apart from sort of mentioning it, she didn't have any other connection to flowers

    and didn't really do anything with them or have an obsession with them like Ivy at all, just a side hobby used to make that reference

    if she always had a rose or something with her, then you've got a better connection

    Is it just me or has this show slowly become "Everyone Loves Oliver"? Felicity, Helena, Laurel, Sara...it's getting a little wacky.

    Well, I'd have liked more of her. Minus the stalker part, you could have replaced her with anyone else & it wouldnt have impacted the episode. But they went with the typical BS female route with her, she is just as bad as any other criminal, but he puts her in the squad to try & help & redeem her. Is that what he did with Komodo? Cause I recall him going to the regular police. They should just retcon Huntress out & say that was Cupid the entire time.

    In addition, doesnt Katana have a daughter as well? O wait, you can kill her husband & son, but we cant kill a 5year old girl.

    The best part was Atom, I just hope the suit looks good. Slade & his sladelings looked like crap, Deathshot isnt that good looking a villain, since it seems to be a technosuit of armor, I have no hopes for it looking good.

    & this episode continued the trend of female costumes being horrible as well. It just seems if they cant be strippers bouncing around in their underwear, then they cant really be anything.
