Arrow S2E2: Identity Recap

Okay, time for some Arrow love. Y’all know I’m a hard-core Arrow fan, and episode 2 “Identity” was a lot of fun. Really loving how season 2 is hitting the ground running here. Some thoughts on Ep 2…

1. Small gripe here… the plot centers around the Chinese Triad (Led by smoking hot China White) hijacking FEMA trucks filled with medication meant for victims of the Glades. The characters say that there is no police presence in The Glades and no one gives a crap, so there aren’t any efforts made to protect the shipments. HOWEVER, FEMA is a FEDERAL AGENCY, and if FEMA workers were getting murderized this often (seriously, like 12 FEMA drivers died this episode), the FBI, National Guard, etc. would be escorting them everywhere. Not to mention the cops show up constantly after the murdering is over, so why not just have them escort the drugs since that seems to be where the Vigilante’s actions are centered around? (Relax, Matt. It’s the CW. Logic has no place there.)

2. I am officially on team #Olicity. The banter between these two after she was made his “executive assistant” was awesome. Those two actors have a really great chemistry, and I love their banter – especially Felicity’s bit about “spending the night,” lol. I really hope the Producers give us some Moonlighting chemistry here.

3. Diggle’s secret identity is the Black Diver. lol. Though, China White saw his face. I wonder if that will come back to haunt him?

4. Sebastian Blood is a total d*ck. Liked his intro.

5. Roy is now on Team Arrow, getting one step closer to becoming Red Arrow.

6. Bronze Tiger’s intro was kinda abrupt. I’d liked to have more set up for him. But his fights with Oliver were awesome.

7. Interesting development on the Island. My guess is it’s setting up Dr. Ivo, who will be the gateway to “superpowered” characters on the show.

8. That ending! Great cliffy!

9. Next week: Black Canary! Yay!
