That was my take too. He knows what Oliver's been doing since getting back to Starling City and he figured out Roy has his blood in him from the handshake. He did, however, looked genuinely surprised when he connected the dots between Oliver, Sara and Roy's glances at each other in the mansion and realized that they…

Yep, that was awesome. And Sara stepping up and leading Dig and Roy to the Queen mansion like this was a special operation? LOVED that! It's nice to see someone other than Oliver calling the shots and coordinating everyone.

That was the point of this particular episode, though. Starting with last year's "The Odyssey," the show's producers seem intent on making one Lian Yu-centric episode every season where *tons* happens on The Island but maybe only 30-60 minutes take place in the present day. I, and I'm probably not alone here in this…

Agreed! As was Slade's realization that Oliver had called Sara, Roy and Diggle to the mansion while walking through the Queen estate with Thea and Moira to admire the artwork.

Elena's "brother," Jeremy.

Yep, at some point we need to learn the how or why Merlyn survived an arrow through the heart (or was it just his upper body?) on that rooftop and fooled the EMTs who no doubt retrieved his body.

According to Amell, he cut out gluten and dairy. He also does a ton of yoga. Beyond that he doesn't specify what workouts he does.

Yep, I couldn't get over how catchy the song was and I kept thinking it was David Bowie-esque with a hint of Vangelis. Shazam proved me wrong and it was instant purchase for me.

Definitely a lot of Vangelis influences in the show. They had light up umbrellas from Blade Runner in the 2nd or 3rd episode. They also pulled a bit of a Robocop homage with Dorian busting through a wall to take down a criminal early on as well.

Barry did mention a compressible micro-fabric when talking about Oliver's need for a mask to replace the face paint during his time in Starling City. So, let's see what they do with The Flash after it (fingers crossed!) gets announced to series. :-)

Finally someone makes the "comic books are soap operas" comparison! Thank you, Joshua. I think people forget how much comics and soap operas have in common and the argument that can be made that they're practically the same thing. I don't mind the soapy bits on Arrow; of all the shows currently on the CW, Arrow has…

The on-set interview was probably sometime last year when it was still filming. I'm pretty sure the film's long since done and in post-production right now.

That's brilliant speculation! It would be a devastating way to start his revenge on Oliver. Good one.

Seriously! Also, I *NEED* to have the context for this picture explained. Does Moira know Slade from somewhere else???

Agreed. I also have to wonder, at this point, if Sara's gonna bring up the fact that Laurel moved on Ollie before she could. That revelation in the island flashback painted Laurel as more unsympathetic and made me like her, and I didn't know this was possible, even less.

Yep, on my 3rd viewing of the trailer I freeze-framed on all of their stats and then their crimes. Loved it!

You're expecting logic and continuity in a Michael Bay Transformers movie? Where every sequel retcons the story beats set up by the previous film? Good luck with that.

So basically like R.E.D. or R.E.D. 2. That formula worked out pretty well.

They most definitely are. Ollie's going to realize pretty soon that he's a *lot* like his mother and it's going to be a bitter pill for him to swallow.

Love that scene! And miss the show, too.
