geebsTV commentary:
Arrow- Heh, cool, John Constantine. So apparently Ollie met Constantine on the island- John had dropped by to grab some magical artifact, and left just as quickly. He had nothing to do with the "current" storyline of the island. Which is funny, because they kinda took a pause from the Continuum guy finding the pack with the tablet/radio thingie. Its like he tried to turn Ollie into the boss because everything about him is suspicious, but the boss was all, whatever, you're being paranoid, we need to deal with this Constantine thing.
Also, while I can understand the boss giving Ollie the benefit of the doubt, I didn't think he a) was loyal enough or b) needed Ollie bad enough that went Constantine pretended to take Ollie hostage, the guy wouldn't have been just whatever and shot them both.
But yeah, in the present, Ollie discovers Sara is alive since there's some blond chick killing a bunch of people in the city, all bad. But, she's also attacking people who look remarkably like Thea. And I guess I don't remember who was privy to what in Nanda Parbat, but I guess Laurel didn't know that her sister would be seeking to kill Thea to satiate her rage?
In any case, they capture Sara, and Ollie is all, "Oh, BTW, I know this mystic guy!" and he calls up Constantine and they pretty easily restore Sara's soul.
Other stuff, Felicity and Mr Terrific discover Ray is alive. Also, Darhk assigns Lance a job to plug some sort of device to some server farm. Obviously, he realizes its prolly not good. So he tells Ollie, who tells him to tell Diggle to help. So Diggle is kinda annoyed at Lance for working with the Ghosts, since they're the Hive, who killed his brother. Its weird that he explained himself again verbatim like last week- he thought Darhk was a concerned citizen who wanted to help the city, and it was weeks before any Ghost stuff happened. It was only until after Damien asked for info on the Fire Chief and he mysteriously dies that Lance figures out something was hincky, but at that point, Damien threatened to kill Laurel.
Also, why the hell kill the Fire Chief? I know Damien's trying to cause chaos, but that's random! Anyways, Diggle and Lance break into the place and watch what it does, and it seems like it was erasing a bunch of military records. Diggle is concerned since he saw his brother's name on the list.
Lance ends up asking Darhk about it, and I'm a little confused on what he discovers. At first I thought he was saying Diggle had been investigating them, so he killed them. But then the way he says, "We don't play well with others" and talking about other warlords, I thought he might be saying Diggle's brother was crooked and his own criminal enterprise going. Particularly since when Lance gave Diggle the file, he talks about it being a sucker punch, and apologizing that he had to find out about it this way. So that implies his brother was shady.
SVU- Heh, that guy totally miscalculated. He figured the family wouldn't turn him because it would be too scandalous for their precious TV show. And if it was the son like they initially thought, yes. But since he's a freaking outsider, there's nothing stopping them from hanging this on him! Its still scandalous, but at this point, they no longer look hypocritical, they're poor victims preyed upon by their sinister pastor.
Supernatural- You know, I totally forgot about that. That Sam didn't have a soul for a while. So he knows exactly what all these people are going through. Unfortunately, I'm assuming since Amara eats them, they can't really do anything to try and put it back. Like they knew were Sam's soul was, they just had to grab it out of the cage. But here, either the soul is obliterated, or its in Amara's essence, so there's no way they're getting it back currently.
