Finally caught up with this episode. The easiest thing to say is to let James Bamford direct more episodes. Really good for his first effort and he's going to get even better with practice.

All caught up on Season 4 right now. I'm enjoying the season (I didn't hate season 3 as much as others apparently did). I honestly hope this is the last season we get flashbacks, just end the flashback arc with him now being stuck on the island until getting rescued and focus purely on the Green Arrow stuff.
So hype.
They still need to show Ollie becoming a member of the Bratva though. So season 5 will likely deal with Russia.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
I thought they already explained that in the Season 2 flashbacks.
Already looking so scary. They have three amazing main villains this year.
They explained how he saved their top member. But not how he actually became a member, tattoo, or speaking Russian.

Not yet, I do hate Laurel.
It's a TV show so they're not gonna be brother and sister, would have been interesting.
So I personally thought the first 3 episodes were pretty garbage.
Just watched episode 4....a huge step up from everything.
The acting was STELLAR, that scene with Oliver and Lance had some great acting there.
Even the flashbacks are now interesting, we may finally see Island Oliver become the badass he is.
Sara's story is becoming good as well.
I hope they really step it up the rest of the way. Marvel's Jessica Jones and DD are shitting on this show something serious, it's making me depressed.

If he's returning that means Felicity dies this season
You think in the void they will put the red arrow into the green quiver?

I was just thinking yesterday how much I want to see him again, especially as the character was pretty good in S3.
I'm down for a drifter crime fighting Arsenal.

Vandal Savage is her father. That way, they can make her immortal, too, so she never gets written off the show. Ship it.
That would be great, but they really need to do some small hints to what he is doing like how Felicity was reading Iris writing about the streak in that case.

Yeah it was kinda sad he left right when they got into a good groove on how to use him. Some real on point quips last season.

Only as a guest star?!?
I wouldn't even be surprised if they actually do that.

Roy Harper, Agent of Argus and handler of the Suicide Squad. Make Cheshire one of the new members.
I'd honestly rather her be immortal than her die and us spend half a season getting Oliver to earth 2 so he can bang Felicity 2. Because you know that's what would happen.

You're a devil.
I always felt Oliver and Sara had so much chemistry. Especially compared to Fecility.
Shado and Oliver were pretty up there too.
I've changed my mind. Now I want Red Hood and the Outlaws.
Gross.
The action in this episode was probably the best this show has ever had in terms of choreography.
Like that fight scene with Thea and Diggle's brother. There's no reason why that scene shouldv'e had action better than 90% of the other action scenes in the series (it was two side characters going at it) but it did.
Whoever directed the choreography of action in this episode should be used way more often.
On the other hand they need to improve the camera work because it's actually doing the action a disservice.

It was the series fight choreographer James Bamford directing the episode, which explains the improved fights and odd camera choices.
Last season? LAST season? You Mean Season 2 right? Because Season 3's flashbacks were gaaaarbaaaage.

If it gets Huntress back, for even a brief moment; I'm in.
Good god those flashbacks were bad. I didn't care for that story -at all-.
Also, unpopular opinion but I actually liked Huntress. She suited season 1 very well in the way that she wasn't afraid to kill.
A brief moment and not a second longer. No talking too, no emoting, she can do the pouting tho, but no talking, unless its to say "Gkajgkjdasfn" after getting stabbed in the throat by a Ghost.

How old is Thea supposed to be now? Wasn't she still in High School in season 1? And they're making her date a campaign manager who is clearly way too old for her.
But then I guess this show has always made weird roles for her character like making her a club owner, even joking about how she's not old enough to drink.

Thea is 20. The actor who plays the campaign manager is 27. Willa is 24. It's not too weird.
