TV commentary:

Arrow- Birds of Prey! Heh, I know clevemire says Olicity is all in the shippers' heads and we're reading too much into things, but seriously, at the very least, he feels something deep for Felicity given the whole breaking the no-killing rule only for her. Like when Laurel was captured by that one serial killer and the guy was trying to fill her up with plastic, he couldn't bring himself to kill the guy, even though she was about to die. (Same for I think Thea the episode before, she was in mortal danger, and he held back.) Then this ep, he was telling Sara to not kill under any circumstances, even when she was all, "What if it comes down to her or my sister?" But when Count Vertigo was about to inject Felicity with Vertigo (which wasn't even going to be lethal, after all, they were able to cure Diggle later), he turned the guy into a pin cushion and dropped him out a window! Its like, she was in less danger than these other chyx, and he still instinctively killed for her, because it wasn't even a choice. Although I suppose its kinda twisted to use "he only kills for her" as proof for his feelings.

But yeah, it is slightly ridiculous now that Laurel doesn't realize her sister and Ollie are the vigilantes. Like the Arrow shows up when Ollie returns, and then the Canary shows up, and all of a sudden Sara is back. And then the Arrow and Canary seem together, just like Ollie and her sister! Actually, I don't know who's a bigger idiot, her, or her father. Because her father does know Sara is Canary. And he's worked with her and Diggle and Felicity and maybe even Roy doing Arrow stuff. And its like, "Gee, here are all these people who are very close to Ollie, I wonder if he's the Arrow!?"

The island flashback was also a little silly. So Deathstroke demands that one guy back to fix the engine. And the guy is all, "I'm not going back to that hell hole!" I'm assuming if Deathstroke is in charge now, he's not going to put that guy back in jail and torture him! Like why not just say, dude, we can all leave, you just need to fix the engine! I mean, its only Sara/Ollie and Deathstroke who have beef, why not just go back to the ship?

Also, I'm amused that Laurel blackmailed her way back into the DA's office! And the DA freaking congratulated her on using blackmail! Like Laurel outright admits she's in a dark place, and the DA is all, "Well, welcome to the DA's office!"

Psych- Okay, lots of funny references they pulled off at the end. Like Gus' new boss being played by Bud from the Cosby Show!! HA!! I totally didn't realize there was an ongoing joke about some Dobson guy that was always mentioned and never shown. Heh, I wonder why they picked Val Kilmer for the part?

Also, heh, with Juliet and the Chief being in Frisco now, they make a Monk reference. But what's Tony Shaloub doing that they can't actually get him to show up?

Laurel isn't very observant, can't see that her sister and Canary have the same very distinct chin

Ah know, raht? Its like "Hmm, this vigilante has the same chin dimple as my sister! Must be someone totally different!"

There was nothing birds of prey about that episode at all.

Also, Psych has made shitloads of Val Kilmer jokes, so that's why.

But that was the title of the episode.

Have they made a lot of Val Kilmer jokes? Wow, its like, do I even watch this show?

I'm just saying it's a bullshit title.
