If you need extra convincing, why not stop altogether and use your time in a more productive way?
I'm stopping after the next show... I'm dropping cable altogether as the only TV time I can afford is usually spent on targeted programming from Netflix (usually U.K. shows and documentaries... and Californication)

Got one... won't be useful if I miss the show start though. I have Wireless Connect from my laptop to my Smart TV (INT 14) which will allow me to beam it up there anytime I want (the TV network websites usually keep the show available online for about a week)
Despite that, I might still reach a point, with that show, where I don't even feel like spending the energy to click on the website's link to get it up and running.
When are we getting a Pathfinder show?

I use my HD antenna with a Tivo/DVR that I own, not rent from cable company. But that does get a bit more expensive then if you don't have one.
Sign me up to watch the Pathfinder show - just hire the team behind Arrow and The Flash and I think it would be good - they've shown they know how to embrace and mine source material.

Gah.
Sweet, my "Thea did it" theory wasn't debunked.

Granted. Not validated, either, of course. It's still a bit of a leap from "daughter receiving dad's approval for her skill at kendo" to "sister drops in from another continent just long enough to murder her brother's ex for no readily apparent reason."

Shhhhhhhhhhhh.
I wanna see Thea get beat up by Ollie.
I loved the move Arrow did by snatching Komodo's arrow and firing it back at him.
Now that I think about it, the individual in question is probably someone we haven't encountered yet, but will encounter in a flashback centered around Sara. Just a thought.
Ollie told Diggle that the League doesn't target their own. Assuming he's right about that (and why write that line for him otherwise?), that would seem to rule out Merlyn, Nyssa and Ras along with most of the twenty-odd archers in the ARGUS database.
On the other hand, it's hard to reconcile Ollie's statement with Al-Owal's attack on Sara. He was ostensibly there to bring her back to Ras, but he wasn't pulling any punches and would have killed Sara if Ollie hadn't been there.
Also, Sara killed Al-Owal in that encounter and may thereby have lost the protection of "the League doesn't target their own." Plus, assuming Nyssa had the authority to release Sara from the League, then Sara was no longer one of the League's "own", making her a legitimate target now.
But I think Fallen_Mage is probably right: someone from Sara's past we haven't met yet. Or maybe something seriously mindwarping has happened to Sin? Sin might be the person least likely to kill Sara, but stranger things have happened.
The only way Thea can beat up Ollie is if he lets her.
He would, though. Fighting defensively only goes so far against a skilled attacker; at some point you need to hamper your opponent or all the damage is going to go one way. If she's good enough for Malcolm to approve, Ollie's not going to be able to block every blow indefinitely.
So he'll take several hits and then drop one of the most overused lines in television scripting: "You don't have to do this..."
I liked the episode. Looking forward to seeing who killed Sara. And I'm, sure it's not Thea.
@Ryunjin. The only way Thea can beat up Ollie is if he lets her.
It's a good thing I said "beat up by Ollie" not "beat up Ollie" then, eh?
Also I've never understood why it's so hard for people to type 6 letters that are right in front of their face.

"Thea seemed fond of Sara" doesn't really prove much, considering Thea's personality seems to change completely every 6 months or so.

I normally am not too bothered by "realism" issues, but for some reason it bugged me when St. Croix was able to use both hands to shoot a bow while on a motorcycle.... The throttle is in the handle. The bike would've slowed immediately when he took his hand off of the handlebars.

Google "motorcycle throttle lock."
Remember, Sara rejoined the League at the end of last season. It's why she left Starling after the siege. There is no reason for the League to be hunting her....
And I agree, Sara's vagueness about why she was back in Starling suggests to me she was on assignment. So one wonders who she was sent to kill.
Could this be the reason Ra's gets involved with Arrow this season? Does the League's "they don't hunt their own" policy extend to "when one of our own is killed, we want to know why"? (I don't know the League as thoroughly as some of you seem to.)
Felt like last week was a great episode. They're really moving characters along on their arcs much more quickly than I'd anticipated. Loved the introduction of
The... I don't even...
The end of this last episode. What the hell?
Seriously I don't know how you couldn't think of that yourself. Pf.

I do enjoy this show, but man, do the Laurel scenes really hurt sometimes. I thought the writers handled Laurel the best in the first season, and that Katie Cassidy did a much better job with it that season as well. Some of the plots they have her involved in are just so hamhanded...
I could have bought into it a bit if they'd used Incident Command as a rationale, but the City charter thing. Anyway.
The other thing that I find irritating is that all of her dramatic scenes with her dad this season have taken place... in his office. During work. Because that's the best place to confront your parent/friend/loved one/whoever about personal issues. I know there are only limited locations that a crew has to shoot in, but what happened to the set for Laurel's apartment? Did they strike it thinking she'd never need to use it again?
Other than that, this was probably my favorite episode so far this season.
Oh hush Kalshane we both know it's just a writer trying to pretend he is clever.

I'm [redacted] stupid????
WHATH THE HTELL
Hey, you said it, not me. =p
Seriously though what's this about?
I had been expecting Huntress to be the one who killed Sara, the stinger at the end of this episode surprised me. What with Ra's in the picture, the Lazarus Pit, or the Mirukuru, or some other handwavium could have easily explained her return. I'm glad that's not the direction they went though.
Also, as others said, the boxing glove arrow was brilliant and made me bark out a laugh =)
Boxing arrow was amazing.
@Fallen_Mage - yeah, I think her appearance means exactly that.
** spoiler omitted **
Yeah, I don't think so. Not a chance. Sara's reaction was too weird and familiar for it to be a random stranger, plus there's the bit Felicity mentioned about how the arrows hit her. Finally, I don't think they'd kill off a character as important as Sara with a relatively minor and incompetent villain.
I still think its

Listen I'm pretty sure somebody else would have noticed a whale the size of a city rolling up into Starling.
Sara's killer?
After the revelations in this episode though? I haven't noticed anything saying he's coming back this season, but I think it might be Slade. Felicity seems sure Roy's "thrown arrow" theory fits the crime, and Malcolm Merlyn let it slip that he knows about the prison on Lian Yu.
