I want to preface this by saying that I really enjoy this show, but I have a serious problem with the last scene of the last episode. How did Laurel know that "the Hood" would come back that night at precisely that time; is that city really that stupid as to waste that amount of resources on having SWAT stay there for hours on end each night until he did show up?

 

Seems like that city is ran by morons; should have blown up city hall instead of the Glades. Of course, that's probably true for a lot of real life cities too :rolleyes:

Serenity's Summer Glau is already on board Arrow season 2, and now THR report that her screen brother Sean Maher has also signed on as the evil Mark Scheffer, better known as DC supervillain Shrapnel. In the comics Shrapnel is made of metal and has superhuman strength and stamina, but it's unlikely that this will carry over to the show -- although he does share some of the same traits as his comic counterpart, as THR reckon he'll be a "serial bomber who places Starling City in a grip of terror and threatens the life of Sebastian Blood (Kevin Alejandro)". Maher will guest star in the tenth episode of the CW show.

SPOILER ALERT***** So Canary was trained by the League of Shadows! Also as most of you probably noticed the messenger from the league was wearing the same archer outfit as Merlyn did :D *****

 

Such an amazing episode!

Ra's al Ghul is supposed to be??? ?????? in Arabic, "Demon's Head." Is that incorrect? Or are we quibbling pronunciation?

 

The meaning is not in dispute, but rather the pronunciation. There is nothing wrong in wanting the names of characters pronounced correctly.

Also, this season is getting better and better with each episode!

 

With that being said. I hate the way they butcher Ra'hs al Ghul's name. It's Ryyysh, and not Raas.

 

This is how you pronounce it: (2:26 into the video)

Terry McGinnis didn't know how to pronounce it either:

 

The meaning is not in dispute, but rather the pronunciation. There is nothing wrong in wanting the names of characters pronounced correctly.

The writers of the comic-books wanted it to be pronounced as "Raysh" and thus they kept using that pronunciation. No idea why they decided to pronounce it as "Rash" in the Dark Knigh Trilogy and Arrow. I mean, Ra's Al Ghul isn't just a simple rash, he's ready to go all assassin in your ass :p

Oh shoot Arrow looks a bit trapped!

 

btw Felicity in that dress! HUBBA HUBBA!

She is so damn hot! I would hope she would be Olivers love interest but with Black Canary in the picture all bets are off

So little uh Gamble who couldn't get a nickel for his grandma is now bronze tiger. Interesting :)

So happy Black Canary is now on the show. I just love DC and the characters. This show has been awesome since the beginning. Seen all episodes and look forwards to Wednesdays.

Shield is OK but Arrow is better and now with a Flash spinoff will be even more awesome. By the way the Tomorrow People is not a bad show either.

Beware the Bat on Saturdays and Justice League Unlimited also. Very happy

Justice League Unlimited was cancelled a long time ago...and it looks like Beware the Bat is unfortunately on the way out as well....

Oh then they replay it down here. Still fun to watch.

 

If Bat is canceled then CN needs to go as well. They are a joke after canceling GL and YJ

Beware the Bat will be back in January :) And yeah, it's a shame GL and YJ were both canceled, specially the latter. It even ended with a huge cliffhanger. Kinda the same as they did with Wolverine and the X-Men.

 

Playing Arkham Origins when suddenly...

Snip!

That sure is an awesome cameo! :)

    • This makes me think of Dune for some reason.
    • I'm too old to return to the "good old days" when I was installing custom ROMs and tinkering with my devices - now I just want to turn it on and use it. I've read that banking and payment apps work on Murena /e/OS (I'll have to check the ones I use) and I also really want to support Fairphone 😉

    • NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe by Fiza Ali NVIDIA has announced that 35 AI high-performance computing (HPC) supercomputers are planned to open throughout Europe this year. This marks what the company describes as the largest single-year expansion of AI infrastructure in the history of the continent. These new systems, unveiled at ISC High Performance 2026, will be placed at a number of national supercomputing centres, AI factories, and research institutes to provide advanced computing resources to more than three million researchers. Describing AI, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang stated, "AI is the new instrument of science, and Europe is building the infrastructure to put it in the hands of millions of researchers." Built on NVIDIA's Blackwell and Hopper architectures, the new systems will support research in climate science, healthcare, clean energy, quantum computing, and other scientific fields. Among the major projects are the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's MareNostrum 5 AI upgrade, BavariaAI's Blue Swan platform in Germany, Italy's IT4LIA AI factory, Germany's HammerHAI project, and Sweden's Mimer AI Factory. The Barcelona Supercomputing Center plans to expand MareNostrum 5 with NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and GB200 NVL4 systems. In total, the BSC expects to deliver up to 20 exaflops of AI training performance and 33 exaflops of AI inference performance. This increased computational capability will support research efforts related to climate modelling, biotechnology, energy systems, etc. Furthermore, as part of the IT4LIA project, more than 8,000 GPUs, each based on NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL4 architecture, will be used in Italy. This represents one of the largest AI factory initiatives announced to date. Additionally, the Blue Swan platform from BavariaAI will include about 1,000 GPUs to help develop multimodal AI models for use in the medical field, robotics, and various areas of scientific research. NVIDIA also emphasized in the announcement how rapidly growth of accelerated computing usage is taking place within both energy and climate-related research. The company said Siemens Energy uses NVIDIA-powered technologies to significantly accelerate the process of designing and simulating hydrogen-capable gas turbines. Using those same acceleration technologies, Siemens was able to reduce simulation time by up to 77 percent. The company also highlighted several quantum computing initiatives across Europe. CINECA, EuroHPC, and Pasqal are integrating a quantum processing unit into Italy's CINECA supercomputing centre using NVIDIA's CUDA-Q platform. Meanwhile, researchers at Germany's Julich Supercomputing Centre recently simulated a universal 50-qubit quantum computer on the JUPITER supercomputer. The announcement demonstrates Europe's continued commitment to building out its infrastructure supporting AI and supercomputing as governments, research organizations, and technology companies compete to build out their respective computing capacities and secure their positions in advanced scientific research.
