The cops are after Team Arrow and Ra’s al Ghul is getting ready to make his move.
So why wasn’t “Public Enemy” a more exciting piece of TV?
Its funny how things come full circle, right?
Tragic, perhaps, but Im not sure funny is the word we should be looking for.
Public Enemy is miles better thanlast weeks exercise in wheel-spinning, Suicidal Tendencies,but thats faint praise.

Ill work backwards with those.
Whatisthe grand plan for season three, anyway?
Shouldnt we know it by now?
Its not Matt Nables fault, though.
He seems to get better in the role with each episode.
Why was Mama Smoak here this week?
Why was she here?
We needed fifteen minutes of precious story time for this?
The Starling City Police Force was in fine form tonight.
Weve been here before.
There might be two things at work.
Thats tough to prove.
I like these characters.
I love this cast.
But perhaps making Ray Palmer such a lynchpin for this year was a mistake.
Thats a lot for any show.
In the case ofArrow, it might be too much.
Maybe this will help, but things feel imbalanced at the moment.
Still, Im at least buying Olivers desparation.
It fits, especially given the head games Ras has been playing with him.
And its not even just because of his actions (or not his actions) in green.
That being said, I just dont know if I buy whats going on with Roy.
I know this all goes back to his mirakuru issues, but its been a long time now.
Although he did reveal more of himself than hes been allowed to all season.
And this is a season that hasnt been shy about those.
Plenty of costumed action this week, though.
Meanwhile…On an Island…
I really dont know any other way to say this, because Im becoming a broken record.
Im as tired of saying it as you are of reading it, believe me.
This show really should be better than crap like that.
DC Universe Watchtower
Well, Ray finally got to shrink something this week!
Maybe this is a sign that theres more shrinking tech and nanobots in his future.
Or perhaps now that hes got these nanobots in his system, there will be some unexpected super-powered side-effects.
Well, we sure got to see Katana wield a katana this week.
Its been hinted that theSupergirlTV series could possibly take place in the same world asArrowandThe Flash.
That show has a Superman who is public knowledge somewhere in its history.
If thats the case, then Im not sure how it can fit in with what we heard here.
Its a minor thing, but I kinda feel like these shows dont make mistakes like that.
