Laurel was pretty like-able this episode, so of course Thea has to go back to being insufferable.

An enemy with super strength, excellent martial arts skills and a sword. Diggle with his army training is supposed to be the one with the best tactical skill as well lol.
Slade just wants to destroy, nothing else. I can't wait till Brother Blood realizes he is being played for a fool.
I can't blame Thea.
She lost all her money, her boyfriend, her brother betrayed her, she got kidnapped by a crazy person, the dad she loved isn't her biological father, her biological father is a mass murdering psychopath making both of her parents mass murdering psychopaths, and to top it all off, she just realized she tried to get into her brother pants.
Not been a great week for poor Thea.

Yea I wanted to say Laurel was very good. I'm glad the writers aren't going to milk suspense with Laurel confirming what Slade told her about Ollie being the Arrow. She knows but understands why Ollie is doing what he's doing (along with her sister), so Laurel is keeping mum and not complicating things.
Laurel rocks.

This quote was awesome btw. Glad Arrow is still wrecking shit. Especially with Agents of Shield doing it's damn thing now after Winter Solder. Both the Marvel and DC show are killing it right now

Fuck Gotham, I don't care about Constantine but Agent Carter I'm interested in. I resubscribed to Netflix for those shows though.

Probably, but I will give it a few episodes since it is Batman.
You never know, AoS was pure garbage for like 10 episodes.

AoS had my interest cause of the MCU though so I powered through the bad. I'll probably watch Gotham though. I was never really into constatine though

After Isabel got shot I kinda wished I didn't see that spoiler though I guess I probably wouldn't have been surprised she'd live anyway seeing they were at the Mirakuru station.
Katie Cassidy has put some weight back on, since Laural's recovery started.

Good episode, but not as strong as the last few. Loved Ollie putting down Slade with the trick arrow though.

Great episode.
Ollie is Eskimo brothers with his dad. That's got to sting a bit.

Loved this scene. So damn good.
Already on it!
This episode...my body is still recovering. Nonstop from the get go.
About time Laurel figures it out. And seriously she was like an inch from Sarah's Black Canary face a few episodes back and all of a sudden noooow she gets it? And come on you can't recognize The Arrow's facial hair and that mole thingy around his lip after you sucked his face while Tommy watched? Come on girl!
Thea realizing she had a thing for her half brother was priceless.
Pretty small world when you think about it
I mean Tommy's Dad, Oliver's Mother
The Lance Sisters sharing Oliver
Oliver and Tommy sharing Laurel

The writing in this show is at its absolute best when everyone is being a huge asshole, it's like it turns into the superhero version of Arrested Development. Summer Glau channeling Kitty Sanchez the whole episode was pretty great.
We don't know if all of these new shows will get picked up or not, only pilots are ordered so far if I'm not mistaken. Also, the Marvel Netflix series won't be airing until 2015.
Can't see Agents of SHIELD ever getting much better without a massive overhaul, and little faith in Gotham but Flash and Agent Carter could be great.

Winter Soldier basically forced a massive overhaul on Agents of SHIELD.

This show, this motherfucking show.
The only thing i did not like was how Laurel use blackmail and threats to get her way. It´s becoming routine.
Now if Slade dies this season, i wonder id they can top him next season. I really doubt it.
Can someone make me a Slade avatar please?

And it's still fucking bad IMO. I watched the post-Winter Soldier episode and 'not terrible' or 'mediocre' is the best I can put it.
They need to throw out basically all of the main cast other than Gregg, get an entirely new VFX team that can actually do decent work for that budget and new showrunners. I love me some Whedon - even when he's not day-to-day like most of Angel - but find very little redeemable elements in SHIELD.

As far as The Flash, Gotham & Constantine, yes, they only have pilots ordered I believe, but the Netflix shows are happening with full orders of 13 episodes each and I think it was (at least) 4 episodes for The Defenders mini-series.
I have faith in The Flash, not so sure about Gotham and I'm curiously optimistic about Constantine, even though all I know about it is from the Keanu movie some years back.
I was so hyped when Big Dig got to revoke Isabel's corporate charter that I was somewhat disappointed to see her get Mirakuresurrected.
Pretty good episode. The Deathstroke action was on point (as was his accompanying music), and everything else was alright. The spinoff elements kind of came out of nowhere and didn't amount to all that much, but it wasn't too distracting.

Such a great episode! Slade was in full-on swag boss mode. Holy shit. He walks into Oliver's house, kicks everyone's ass, steals his shit, and walks out. So good.
Roy! In a homeless shelter! What happened to the Mustang?
Isabel Rochev has the most ludicrous motivation out of anyone in the series, and I love it. So goddamn funny. She's just fucking crazy.
Slade has an army! Ollie has Chesthair.
And, so there is a cure.
Danielle Panabaker is cute. And that's 'Vibe'? Interesting gun, lol.
Special props to the scene between Laurel and Quentin. That was fantastic, where Quentin is talking about the Arrow. We finally got a real explanation, and it's basically Jim Gordon's reasoning. "I don't want to know, because this city needs the Arrow, not the man under the hood." It was fantastic.
Laurel was great this episode. The way she takes the news of Ollie being the Arrow versus Tommy in Season 1 is interesting. And that moment at the end with her hugging him was nice.
Shiet, I hope so.
Hahahaha, yeah! She is going into slight depressed tantrum mode, but you know what? This season, it's fucking earned!
And the moment that she realized she tried to make out with her half-brother was priceless. It's like she was speaking for the audience
Right! This is the second time she's blackmailed her boss. It's kinda funny.
Method!

Best part of the episode was getting a look at Team Flash. They did a good job of making it apparent that Cisco and Kaitlin were going to be Barry's future backup, without being too heavy about it. Short and sweet

Cisco was terrible. Or at least the actor was.
I'm really liking the references to Flash already, Felicity being all jelly about Barry and Iris lulz
See DC/WB? That's how you do a shared universe. Get these guys to supervise the entire DC film division and stop fucking around.
Speaking of Felicity, loved all the Felicity moments in this episode "I never liked her, even before she became a supervillain" <3
