Right. I took it as him trying to take the bullet and sacrifice himself to save them both. Sara was the one about to get shot, so he jumped in front of her.

Exactly. He was just defending the person that was being directly threatened at the moment.

Yeah, I thought Oliver was trying to make the third choice: Offering himself to die in exchange for Sara and Shado. He wouldn't pick either one. He didn't jump in front of Sara, he jumped in front of the gun.

Shado was too cool to be dead. I wish they kept her alive. I would have killed Sara and had the League of Shadows use a Lazarus Pit.

Shado's death is the gut punch that every drama worth its salt needs. I commend the writers for offing her like no thang.
No lingering drama, no boring love triangles dragged around for an eternity, no BS. Boom, headshot. And that was it.

Yeah definitely one of the ones Oliver probably shouldn't beat himself up about too much
Slade will do that for him
We already know Sara would die on the island and come back, so it is better to hit us in the gut by killing Shado. We thought Sara would die.
I thought that too.
Ehh, that's one of the only gripes I had with that episode.
Ivo shot her and that was it, no drama, no anything.
Made it feel like it wasn't a big deal.
isn't she a badass in the comics?

Well, Boss Deathstroke is now onto Ollie's ass, so there is that.
I hope there's more to it than just Shado's death.

I kind of liked that. TSCC did that kind of sudden unceremonious death for a major character and while it was a shock and you had hoped for a grand hero death, it felt realistic and grounded that a character would die so suddenly in that scenario

Felicity and Sara are not there though.
Brian Austin Green's death didn't break suspension of disbelief. Ivo pulling a TDK Joker's choice was hamfisted.

You're right. Moira does look very happy there.
so i'm not a comic reader so plenty of times i gotta wiki up a character to find out who he is, like barry being flash, slade being deathstroke etc
never knew shado is another important-ish character in the comics though
so i'm guessing slade lost his right eye because of ollie? i mean why else would he specifically say that
1 month until the next episode
hoping for more superheroes to appear
oh and someone mentioned barry is mr freeze's son? wat? where'd that come from?

Lol, no. Barry's mom and Freeze's wife have the same first name, Nora. They're different people.

Between Arrow and Person of Interest, I think I'm gonna develop high blood pressure cause these two shows never let up!

Assuming flashback Oliver and flashback Slade are still stuck on the island a while longer and are still friends for now, I assume Oliver becomes the badass he is by practicing against super solider serum Slade.

Fantastic episode, but what was the deal with the scream that followed the particle accelerator explosion?
Sorta Maximus

It was a disturbance in the speed force, the sound of millions of souls screaming in pain... And were suddenly silenced.
Channel 52 and Bethany Snow as the anchor are both a reference to back matter in all DC comics now. They do a newscast that talks about a story arc going on in one of the books.

just found this on netflix, me and the wife working our way through season one.
we're really enjoying it. It's essentially batman that murders people.
as we haven't finished watching, I'm not reading the thread, but the show rocks!

Oh my. The comments sections in that article are of the lowest gutter.
Yeah, I'm rewatching Season 1 on Bluray and there are a lot of hints towards season 2.
- Coast City "I'll be home in a flash".
- Bludhaven easter eggs, and rumours that the creators are planning to add Nightwing.
- In the episode where mama Lance shows up, Laurel says something to Oliver about how her mom thinks Sara is alive and Oliver opens his
mouth like he has something to say. - Some of the villians say something along the lines of "You kill too, what's the difference between you and me". The Huntress says it and so does the guy who kidnaps Roy.
Makes me wonder what sort of easter eggs there is in season 2 that hints to what happens in season 3.
But then agian, it's possible I'm just reading too much into it.

Yeah my bad haha... Kinda just saw the name 'Nora' and leaped to conclusions
Would you care to explain/expand on this?

Arrowverse has some of the best casting on TV. It's especially impressive considering they have to cast well known characters

Being a ginger is part of Wally's charm. I just want to see who will play Patty now. She is a Felicity type.

Yeah, only thing about the show that actually pissed me off so far.
Even worse than their terrible version of Huntress.

The tag is brilliant.
Diggle is thinking why have I to disguise as black driver and not as Santa?
