geebsTV commentary:
Doctor Who- Poignant ep, but a bit inaccurate? I mean, the baddie this ep was a racist time traveler doing all sorts of things trying to stop the whole Rosa Parks thing. The way they play it out though, they act like without the full seats, and her being tired, she wouldn't have done what she did. But I thought she did that after Claudette Colvin did it, the movement felt Rosa Parks would make a better face, so they had her repeat the act.
I mean, I guess trying to have the bus not be there that night, trying to have a less jerky driver, enough seats for the whites would've prevented her from protesting as she did. Though this version of her was someone who wasn't active in the movement already, so it was just her being tired.
Arrow- Interesting, so what was up with that future flash? They dig up Ollie's old bow, and there's a paper there, which Roy seems to know without reading, since he burns it without opening it, to William's chagrin. (Which, I somehow missed that William was gay until later)
The longbow hunters are interesting. Well, Silencer seems the most impressive since her gear actually seems useful, requiring both Canaries to take it down. Red Dart just shoots red arts, and Kodiak has a sharp shield. Which is an interesting weapon, but it shouldn't provide that much protection. Maybe if Argus didn't aim for it instead of an exposed part of his body.
Getting back to the Canaries, I do like their interactions, with Laurel being pentient and trying to prove herself to Dinah, who's slowly coming around.
Anyways, since working with Argus doesn't work for Felicity (since they're more concerned with you know, national security and stopping Diaz from getting his hands on a superweapon instead of taking risks with everyone's lives like she is to take him down) she goes to FBI lady.
Which I still find laughable, its like how is the FBI anymore capable than Argus and a whole team of costumed fighters, some of whom have super powers?
