I sincerely doubt Lance would be all that gung-ho about his daughter's boyfriend without doing his own serious background checks.
I'm not terribly familiar with the comics, but doesn't Brother Blood have mind-whammy powers? Show!Blood does seem to be extraordinarily good at getting people to trust him and take him at face value - like his underlings (criminal or otherwise) who are all just a tad too devoted; or Oliver, who is not precisely Mr. Trusting, and who seems to feel remarkably positive about a guy who first incited an angry, violent mob against him and then viciously smeared him on TV. I have to wonder if Lance's little speech less a case of bad writing than OOC Is Serious Business.
I did like all the Ollie/Diggle/Felicity stuff. A lot. "You're not my employee. You're my partner." ♥♥♥♥♥♥ If I knew how and didn't find it tremendously annoying, I would make those sparkly, because oh my god, talk about hitting the sweet spot between pandering to shippers and organic character development. HEARTS. HEARTS IN MY EYES.Not gonna

I believe he does! But I don't know that the show is going to go that route, though he could just be really charismatic.

I think Oliver just wants to have someone else to believe in? Someone who can do the kinds of work he - as the Arrow - can't. But yeah, it does seem a little weird for him to pin his hopes on a guy who he's had such a tumultuous relationship with.
Oh man, they bring Sean Maher on the show and it's an ep without Summer Glau! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? I WANTED A CRAZY SPACE INCEST REUNION SCENE.
Right?! Such a wasted opportunity.
And I too was disappointed in Lance when he didn't take her seriously. I'm also disappointed in Laurel that she took her dad's pain meds when he still obviously needs them.
Now if KC would just play up to the way they're currently writing her character. It's like she got so used to them giving her crap to play that she got caught flat footed now that they've given her character something interesting. Her reactions were so very bland. Bummer.
Laurel's downward spiral into pill addiction is going to be hard to swallow. But it does give her something more interesting to play than what she's had previously, so I guess we'll see.
