UPDATE: New Extended & Canadian Promos For ARROW Season 3 Episode 12: "Uprising"

so are we really supposed to assume that he survived that hundred foot drop off of a mountain?!? cmon.. i wasn't expecting full on lazarus pit resurrection but something better than his "strong will to live"

One of the better episodes this season!

whoa

Excellent episode last night.

I lost my shit when Brick was quoting Shakespeare.

Daniel "Danny" Brickwell FTW!!! Hope he sticks around for more than one season.

Ironic that Arrow has tried to be Nolan and now it copied the same buildup and letdown of TDKR and that films disgraceful lack of understanding of the human body.

Nolan fans thought Batman would get his back broken and need the Lazarus Pit to restore him. Cool, right? Nope. What they got was an easy way out of the situation the writers put him in...the magic back punch.

Arrow fans thought after Arrow was stabbed and sent falling over a cliff that he would need the Lazarus Pit to restore him. And maybe he would need to find a way to get even better at fighting for his rematch with Ra's. Cool, right? OH HELL NO! Not cool at all. What they got was a guy who's body would be shattered AFTER FALLING 1200 FT and he would've been dead for days and in rigor mortis. But it was all fixed with HERBS and penicillin.

So how would a dead guy ingest the magic herb potion? Even if you injected him with it or got it into his stomach his body would be shut down and couldn't adsorb it. Though I'm sure a certain Arrow apologist will explain that in the Arrowverse, corpses are known to sip tea.

Arrow's writers routinely avoid the hard stuff. They write around characters training consistently. They took Oliver from amateur to mega-archer in 2 minutes in a flashback scene. No one taught him how to position, breathe or release. He just does it. And they created a cliffhanger and then cowered away from writing a reasonable and believable resolution.

TDKR spent time creating realistic perils for Batman but quickly solved them with a back punch.
Arrow did a realistic Arrow vs. Ra's fight and buildup to Arrow demise. But fixes it instantly with a cup of tea.

Buildup....letdown. The result of people starting something they could not finish.

@MrSuperheromoviefan I agree. And out of curiosity, I decided to take a look at tonight's Arrow After Show just to see if one of Arrow's biggest fans and supporters would be in blind denial over the sorry state of that show. I was surprised at what I found out on his Twitter.

DC may have said not to use the Pit.

Ah the stupidity spewed in the comments on this website....


at least @SecretWarrior as his brain working

You know uoud think since this is a CB TV show people would already be expecting to suspend some belief, but I think some guys forget that. Im stuff like that happen in comics all the time. Normal human Heros like Batman, Hawkeye, Green Arrow, Nightwing, etc. accomplish and do things that I'm 100% that no human should be able to do. But I suspend my belief when I read those books. I recommend you all do the same with this show, or else you will be hating a lot of episodes

Damn is he batman now....0:24 second mark...or spiderman lol

Ok here's the thing. This is a show based on a comic book. A show that shares a universe that has a man that can run so fast that he can run on water. It had some miracle drug that turned people into super humans. I'm sorry but saying a show based on a comic book sucks because it doesn't stick to reality makes no sense. Like @Dinotron said it's called suspending your belief. Maybe the fall wasn't that far down not to mention like they said the cold helped preserved him.

First off, I don't understand the people saying he fell a million feet off the mountain. I assumed he landed on a ledge not that far down. That said...

I didn't hate the episode, but their explanation was basically "he lived". Like, seriously. That's their entire explanation. He gets stabbed and kicked off of a mountain and the best they can do is... "he lived"? I just... I don't even get it. What is that?

Season 3 of show it's disappointing to say the least, funny how CW fanboys keep glorifying the writing of this show over Constantine when it's CLEARLY the worst of any DC show atm.

That being said, can't wait my boy Slade come back and kick some serious ass.

Wow another Tyrese campaign for Green Lantern....making me curious now.
