Don't worry. Everyone is sick of Laurel. She's tits on a dead bull useless and really winny for no reason.
Seriously, Fuck Laurel.
What? No, don't do that! She'll get more screen time! We'll have to be shown how she's coping with her "VERY SERIOUS PROBLEMS" or sudden booze addiction or how a jacket and self defense courses equals superhero.
Just quietly forget about Laurel as she fades into the background and nobody remarks upon it or can even remember her name.
It's just... I don't see what Ollie sees in her. At all. Every single other romantic lead he has is more competent, more interesting, and, in my opinion, more attractive.
When your lead has more romantic chemistry with his sister then with the love of his life, you got problems.
She's just so at odds with literally everything else in the show being cool, interesting, or at least... Bearable. She feels like she walked off the set of Heroes. The only person I dislike as much as her is Vertigo, and you're supposed to hate that guy.

Yeah, I actually enjoyed the over the top portrayal. To be fair though I have no familiarity with the source material as far as that character is concerned.
It has basically nothing to do with comic Count Vertigo AFAIK, who is an actual Count and has literally a telepathic "give people vertigo" power. He was in an episode of Young Justice and a Green Arrow short.
While racing light mechs, your Urbanmech comes in second place, but only because it ran out of ammo.

Basically yeah.
Count Vertigo in the comics is basically a poor man's Dr. Doom.
I expect Peter Stormare to turn a C Class Villain into an A+ Class Villain.

Oh my god I didn't realize who that was until you said that.

Wait, was he the villain in that Kid Flash centric episode where he is trying to deliver an organ on time?

Rewatching Arrow Season One, and the finale just has too much stupid for words.
The way they reacted to the news that there was going to be an earthquake makes me agree with Malcolm that the people in the Glades deserved to die.
Public panic I understand, but panic that focuses on looting and mugging rather than a crush trying to get away is just idiotic.
And then we get the queen of smart ideas. Saving papers from your office? Dumb. Not leaving when your dad calls you and tells you that the earthquake is minutes away? That's Laurel.
(I'm proposing that 'Laurel' replace 'moronic' in the dictionary.)
Peter Stormare Satan is my second favorite interpretation, just slightly behind Al Pacino Satan.
Stormare on Arrow is a thing I am hyped for.
Personally, I rather liked Viggo Mortensen's satan from The Prophecy. Which was one of the reasons I was pleased to see him get chosen to play Aragorn back in the day.

I'll deal with more Laurel if the show finds something to do with her character. And yeah Ollie has better sexual chemistry with literally anyone else on the show, Waller, Diggle, his mother. Literally any other person, extra number 52 who was quirky in that one dance scene, ghost Tommy.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
My problem with Laurel now is exemplified by how Ollie went back to banging her sister at a drop of a hat. Just to keep the streak alive, I guess. So on top of Laurel being written boring 99% of the time, she caved on 'Are you fucking kidding me?!' real quick, one of her few shinning moments. If they're going to get together do it already before Oliver gets to Felicity and repeats this. So basically she's a mechanism to make me like season 2+ Oliver even less.

I like how this is Hyperbole, yet 98% true.
Laurel just comes off as...screechy?
Also there hasn't been one scene where they seemed attracted to one another.
Which means Laurel's actor is blind, obviously.

So, this is interesting...
Brandon Routh, who played Superman on the big screen in Bryan Singer’s 2006 tentpole Superman Returns, has joined the cast of the CW’s superhero drama Arrow as this season’s main recurring guest star. He will play Ray Palmer, a scientist and inventor who will play an unexpected role in the lives of Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak as the new owner of Queen Consolidated.In the DC Comics mythology, Palmer is known as The Atom, making Routh a two-time DC superhero. We hear the deal will span 14 episodes, and that he will be a love interest for Felicity.

Honestly I'd prefer a season of Arrow without a love interest for Oliver. He doesn't need one, he's far more interesting when its just allusions to his time not spent on the Island and showing dem abs.
Not to mention maybe this means that Diggle Oliver romance can truely bloom.

You forgot the Salmon Ladder in your list of when the show's more interesting.
Therefore Ollie should be with Felicity more often.
You do realize that if they get together, Felicity's odds of surviving the next season go way down.
Let's review Ollie's dating history:
Laurel: Laurel.
Sara: Dies, comes back, dies, comes back as an ex-assassin, becomes ex-ex-assassin.
Shado: Dies, setting Slade off on his villain spree.
Huntress: Trains her to kill better while trying to train her not to kill at all (while still killing on his own). Finally captured and in prison.
Hall: Shot by former, gets out while she might still get the use of legs back one day.
Isabel: Doesn't really count, but she teamed up with his enemy to destroy his company. Killed by current girlfriends ex-girlfriend.
That's 2 out of 6 dead, one (temporarily) crippled, one assassin, one imprisoned, and one Laurel.
Isabel really doesn't count, it was a plot the entire time.
So for the other 5.
Sara: Becomes Black Canary
Shado: Dies. Pretty sad, actually
Helena: Becomes Huntress
McKenna: Gets shot, oh well.
Laurel: Laurel.
So really, that's a 40% chance of becoming a superhero/vigilante, a 40% chance of dying or being horribly injured, and a 20% chance of being always and forever a huge bore.
However, since we know that she isn't a completely awful character right now, we're down to 50/50 vigilante/awful.

Brandon Routh's arc on Chuck was pretty damn great, so I'm looking forward to this. Arrow seems to get some killer guest star mileage, much like Chuck did, incidentally.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

Laurel being Laurel is the worst punishment for those characters.

She could be worse. By my calculations, she's .7 Lana Langs at worst. (Okay, maybe .75)
What? No, don't do that! She'll get more screen time! We'll have to be shown how she's coping with her "VERY SERIOUS PROBLEMS" or sudden booze addiction or how a jacket and self defense courses equals superhero.

oh pffffft
Vertigo was a nutty nut of a nut. Overacting was basically something that came with the character.
It's like saying Heath Ledger was overacting in Batman.
Count Vertigo in the comics is basically a poor man's Dr. Doom.
I expect Peter Stormare to turn a C Class Villain into an A+ Class Villain.

Actually my second favorite Satan after John Glover from the T.V. show Brimstone.

I'm ok with this, as I'm sure he'll do great. Chuck proved to me that Routh is a pretty decent actor. Superman Returns was just a terrible movie.

Yeah, I was a fan of him in Chuck. I'm just really confused as to why Queen Consolidated has a new owner.

Felicity is his Money Penny, always hinted at never delivered on.

I predict this season Ollie stay's pretty neutral while Felicity bangs the hell out of Brandon Routh and flirting with the Flash.
Because Ollie's, "Wait, but I want that!?" face is like, the fourth best face he has.
So for the other 5.
