in DC comics lore, Starling City is supposed to be somewhere in the Pacfic Northwest and Central city in the midwest.

No, but it has an awesome ring to it. Just imagine the campaign slogans. "We want Blood, and we want it now!"
They pulled this in Smallville as well with Smallville and Metropolis seemingly being about an hour or two away from each other.

This is a midseason finale done right! Jan 15th can't come soon enough.
SLADE! In Startling City too much awesome for me to take in. Hopefully they'll have a fight scene coming up!
Roy with superpowers? Eh I'll take it as a sign he won't be as boring as he was.
Laurel...maybe Blood will get rid of her for us. She should go confront Grundy.
I was not a fan of Grant Gustin the last episode but he definitely grew on me this episode. I wish they kept him appearing in episode 20 or so now instead of waiting now for his own show. Oh well
Slade wants to corrupt Felicity? Nope not till I'm done doing that haha

Amazing episode. So much awesome packed into 40 minutes. I was hesitant about them adding superpowers to this show, but they've been handling it so well. I'm willing to go with anything they throw at me now.
Can't believe Slade has been in the city this whole time. He looked great with the greying hair, eye patch and suit. I can't wait to see what his plan to get revenge on Ollie is.
Roy with superpowers! Just imagine the unnecessary wall flips he can do now.
They're actually pulling the trigger with Solomon Grundy. Not just teasing or playing coy, but actually going through with him. This show.
Oh, and Ollie finally has the mask. Wonder how long it'll be before he's rocking long hair and goatee.

I'm going to request that they give Diggle a power or something. Really tired of this dude being the cab driver/punching bag.
I suspect when HIVE rears its head that he'll have his time to shine.

They should give Diggle a power ring. Then we could do a Brave and the Bold: Green Arrow/Green Lantern Team-Up.

god this episode was great
the only bad part about it that now Roy has superpower
hope that Slade doesn't die at the end of this season

So goooooooood.
The Slade reveal and Flash scene at the end completely made it for me.
I do hope they somehow work even a minor cameo in for Flash though.

I think they will. They seemed to be trying to form a friendship between Ollie and Barry with the mask, and I highly doubt that he wouldn't call Felicity and tell her what happened. The title of the next episode is

I can't stand it, Diggle's entire purpose in this show is to validate how awesome Ollie is...and to drive him around.

BAH! Ollie is nothing without Diggle. Diggle is the voice of reason for Ollie. His hetero life mate. They are like brothers at this point.

More like the guy Ollie asks obvious questions/says obvious things to so he (Ollie) sounds like a genius in comparison.
I'm gonna call it now: Arrow will kill off Diggle in season 3.
As the show gets more crowded in the superhero parts with Roy and Thea and possibly Laurel finding out and getting involved (and possibly Sara coming back full time), and as they need a new big shocking death, the arrow writers are gonna turn straight to the non-superpowered non-vigilante black dude first.
edit: btw, Laurel made Buzzfeed's top 16 cyberbullied female characters list (#12)

BAH! Can't kill Diggle. At least not like that. Now, if Diggle went down in a blaze of glory protecting Ollie or Felicity, or by the hand of Slade or Ra's. That would be acceptable. But Ollie would never drop him.

Kinda hope Slade finds out about lazarus pits, digs Shado up and tries to revive her in it.
whether or not it works doesn't really matter.
if it did
please.

corrupted villain Shado, ala recent comics Talia(but not Batman INC level ridiculous)

This has been the best mid season finale so far. Great episode and I'm kinda pumped to see Flash.

Damn that was spectacular.
Shado
Fucking rocking that suit Mr. Stroke.
Great Barry Flashing origin.
This show uses the mythos to terrific effect.

Liked the episode a lot but I won't lie, I think they crammed a bit too much stuff into this episode.
Laurel being with Blood out of nowhere, Laurel's Dad getting messed up and his partner killed, Oliver recovering from a huge beating/blood coagulation/rat poison almost instantly, Shado dying, Roy being able to walk after being shot, Roy getting super powers, slade coming back to life, Slade revealed as the main badguy, and Barry also getting super powers.
I think most of it worked, but the flashback stuff lost some of its impact by rushing through it pretty quickly. Shado appearing as a ghost, then two pretty fast scenes setting up her death and then getting killed (other than being a super villain thing to do, it was kind of a random setup for her death IMO. Just a cheap trick to make Oliver feel guilty for her death without REALLY having anything to do with it.)

I loved everything about that episode except the forced Grundy line.
Diggle: "What about Cyrus!?"
Ollie: "Died on a Saturday, buried on a Sunday"
Me: ...but Ollie, it's Wednesday.
I'm sorry but that line was just so out of place, there had to be a better way to include the Grundy line or hint than that. At least it went by quickly like they just wanted to get past it and hurry back to the Awesome that was the rest of the episode, except the part where Roy somehow was 100% recovered and back in running shape moments after Diggle patched him up with the first aid kit. But I'm willing to move past that too.

Separate pilot. Good choice too. Originals handled this pretty poorly. This way we got the character established in Arrow, but not the superhero.

This show is amazing. I don't like how they handled Shado's death. If this beef Slade has with Ollie is over Shado then I don't understand, because Ollie loved her just as much as he did.
Ollie made a mistake not speaking up, can't say I blame him after just watching Slade rip a guys heart out.
Nope, being president was always Luthor's thing.
