"Birds of Prey"


WHEN THE HUNTRESS MET THE CANARY - When Frank Bertinelli (guest star Jeffrey Nordling) is arrested, Oliver (Stephen Amell) knows it's only a matter of time before his daughter, Helena, AKA The Huntress (guest star Jessica De Gouw), returns to town. To make matters worse, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) is picked to try Frank's case, putting her right in the path of Helena. Oliver tells Sara (Caity Lotz) he will handle his ex-girlfriend, but when Helena takes hostages at the courthouse, including Laurel, the Canary will stop at nothing to save her sister. When The Huntress and Canary meet, an epic battle begins. Meanwhile, Roy (Colton Haynes) realizes he needs to keep Thea (Willa Holland) safe, but doesn't like the way he is forced to go about it.

John Behring directed the episode written by Mark Bemesderfer & A.C. Bradley (#217).

Here are the promo pics for ep 2x17:

Finally, The Huntress is back ... and meets Sara ...  

She might be a good training partner for Ollie ...   

Ok finally saw this and it was a ok ep.
Slade picks up willa at the end! He is going to piss roy off??
Nice to see jessica back!

I have some pics to post which I cant right now, but it shows that certain things dont align with what they showed in the pilot.
Like in pilot Sarah was a different darkhaired girl, ollie left the island alone on a chinese fishing boat,and they did show slades mask with the arrow thru 1 eye, so that was ok.
When Ollie comes back he thought sarah was dead, but that she dies on the boat!!
The fact that he was with sarah on the island now does not align with what they showed in S-1.
so I have to assume the sarah story was dreamed up later on.
Who got more screen time in this ep, sarah or felicity?
Sarah has become the co star of the show, and for me that is not good.
My only hope is they kill her off or spin her off into her own show if fans like her.
right now it is just way too much sarah.

original sarah

1) Imho Thea wasn't the target, because she was Roy's girlfriend, but because she was Ollie's sister.
2) Yep, and it's good that they didn't have her killed, so there might be a chance of seeing her again in season 3.
3) I don't even remember that other Sara actress, so I don't care. For me Caity as Sara/Black Canary does a good job, so no problem at all here ...   
4) I don't remember exactly, but I don't think Ollie himself still thought that Sara died on the boat, when he was back in Starling City. He just said so for his cover story, because he didn't want to tell about the events on the island. He himself thought of Sara as dead because of something that happened on the island or after the island, but we don't know that exact story yet. Maybe we'll get some flashbacks on that in season 3.
5) I for one like Caity as Sara/Black Canary, so I'm happy.
I really hope that they don't kill her off and make Laurel some kind of Canary   . If they actually dare to, then we got a serious problem ...
Sorry, but in this matter I cannot agree with you and I even don't see, why you dislike Sara that much ...
