Arrow Season 4

[Super Firebug]

Actual, current news headline: "Hollywood hospital hit by ransomware attack; hackers demand $3.6M".

My first thought: "This sounds like a job for Felicity Smoak." She'd free up the hospital computer without breaking a sweat, and turn the ransomware on the hackers, because they have it coming.

I don't watch shows where they murder children.

So that leaves out Game of Thrones, Walking dead, Legends of Tomorrow, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Daredevil, Gotham, Powers, Doctor Who, Torchwood...

Come to think of it pretty much every genre show that isn't specifically aimed at children has featured a bad guy killing children and sometimes good guys killing children.  And every cop show,  And every soap opera, and western, etc.

So what you're basically saying is you only watch comedies, reality tv, and game shows.

Those murder children too, just slowly.

[Tenzhi]

But at least they never kill children in comic books...  right?

[CG]

So that leaves out Game of Thrones

Nope.  That show is for sociopaths.

Walking dead

Nope.  Don't like zombies.

Legends of Tomorrow

The premise of that show is to save a kid who was killed.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

When did they kill a kid on Agents of SHIELD?  Keep in mind I haven't watched this season at all.

Daredevil

Which kid did they kill in Daredevil?

Gotham

Stopped watching Gotham when Fish started scooping out her own eyeballs.

Powers

Are you kidding?  That show was terrible.  I barely made it through the first episode.

Doctor Who

Nope.  I never had an emotional attachment to it from before it was revived so I didn't jump on the bandwagon when it came back.

Torchwood

Nope.  Never watched the new Dr. Who, so I didn't really care about Capt. Jack & co.

Come to think of it pretty much every genre show that isn't specifically aimed at children has featured a bad guy killing children and sometimes good guys killing children.  And every cop show,  And every soap opera, and western, etc.

So what you're basically saying is you only watch comedies, reality tv, and game shows.

There are plenty of genre shows that don't kill kids.  There's also a difference between shows where kids die as a matter of other events and where kids are specifically targeted for assassination.  The latter doesn't happen all that often and is what I find objectionable. 

[Super Firebug]

Since they've started to address it in this episode (currently being aired), I wanted to get this mystery-grave guess in before the betting window closes on it.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Another possible occupant is Donna, Felicity's mother. Darhk finds out that Lance was working with Green Arrow, and punishes Lance by going after his girlfriend, Donna. That would be another reason for Felicity's being so obviously upset in the car, in addition to the possibility that William, her future stepson, could be in the grave.

Spoiler for Hidden:

And I don't see how murdering a child will lighten the mood.

To think that I was suggesting that that was how they were lightening the show's mood is insulting.

[eabrace]

On a related note, how in the world did this escape my notice up to this point?

I guess I have some homework to do before next week's episode.

[Mandu]

SHIELD.  The episode where you find out what really happened when May earned her Cavalry nickname.

Spoiler for Hidden:

May murdered the child Inhuman.

Daredevil. Black Sky episode.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Stick murders the kid.

[Tenzhi]

"Curtis, you're Terrific."

Well, that's what I read... might want to pick your phrasing a little more careful in the future.
Ya know, so you don't get insulted by what others take from your posts.

[Tenzhi]

Seems like he clearly stated that killing off the comic relief would run counter to lightening the mood. 

[Nos482]

...and then stating that it could possibly be William in the mystery grave.
So that's why I left a snarky remark.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Also, I've got 10 bucks that say Felicity will be able to walk again thanks to some super science or possibly magic.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Shameless self-quote and it looks like super science it is.

[Tenzhi]

So you were deliberately misunderstanding for the sake of snark, then, and it had nothing to do with the actual clarity of the statement.

[Vee]

Spoiler for Hidden:

Maybe the grave was William's mother?

I'm thinking Darkhe won't kill him, he'll take him as an apprentice and William will become Klarion. The best revenge is a silly haircut.

[Tenzhi]

Maybe the grave is for Curtis, who has a twin brother named Michael...

[Nos482]

a bit of both

I like that idea.  He's a great character.

I think Oliver needs to lay off the double meanings when he talks to Ruve.  Telegraph much?

[saipaman]

Only if he wants to keep his identity secret!
