Last week, we picked up on more than ten DC Comics references and still (according to our readers here and on Facebook) missed some biggies, including the introductions of both Sin and Jean Loring to the cast (we thought both of them had appeared before, hence not mentioning it).What did we catch this week? Not nearly as much, but some cool stuff nonetheless…!(And, yes, we caught the reference to S.T.A.R. Labs and the particle accelerator that we think will be involved in Barry Allen’s transformation later this season. But it’s not the first time either of those things have been referenced so it didn’t make the cut…!)Still ain’t Dinah, but we’ll take it…Well, we’ve officially got a Lance sister in the Black Canary outfit. That’s a little bit of something, isn’t it?In the comics, of course, Dinah Laurel Lance is the Black Canary. In the TV series, we’ve got a Laurel Dinah Lance who has, up to this point, had no interest at all in suiting up. Now, she’s got a sister named Sara Lance who’s Black Canary.Of course, this version of Black Canary is a member of the League of Assassins.Oh, yeah.League of AssassinsLast week, we got to see a guy dressed like the Dark Archer who showed up and menaced Black Canary, invoking the name of Ra’s al Ghul. Technically, that means we knew that the League of Assassins would play a role. This time around, though, we got to hear the words actually spoken onscreen (albeit in the preview for next week’s episode).The degree to which the League will be a perpetual thorn in Ollie’s side could be interesting to see. Certainly the fact that she asked about Slade suggests there may be some plans to attach him to that side of the show at some point in the not-too-distant future.
