Bonus points for the character being originally designed to be a copycat of Batman in the comic book.

Well given that Green Arrow started out as a copycat of Batman in the comic books when he was first created, I am not complaining (or surprised) that we see many similarities between Arrow's Green Arrow and Batman at all.

You would think that if the Harrison Wells was the Reverse-Flash, they would not have laid it on that thick in the previous episodes. However, this episode made me think it was not him until we got to the stinger.

"Now I'm interested in seeing the batman vs ra's al ghul shirtless sword fight tomorrow at 8."

Speaking of Arrow, I can't wait for tomorrow's episode.

Cool. My question is if Harrison Wells is the Reverse-Flash how was he able to be in two places at once when the Reverse-Flash was beating Wells up so badly?

Nice pun, but seriously I hope you are right.

Yes, it is going to nothing but torture for us.

I was under the impression that Reverse-Flash would be a season long run. We need other villains to pose as the Big Bad for the Flash. Speaking of which, I hope Gorilla Grodd gets that position in Season 2. By the way, I agree that this episode was too good to be given a B+ like the reviewer gave it.

You voice most of my thoughts on this episode. About the reveal though, I think it was cool enough. We got the Dark Archer reveal at the end of the 9th episode in Arrow as well, so I would expect this to follow that shows formula to a degree as well.

Wow…….just wow. To say that this episode was amazing is a complete understatement. In this episode the Reverse-Flash (the main bad guy of this season) comes to the forefront.

Maybe because he is just starting off in this hero thing and he didn't think of that. I mean, there are somethings I do that when looking back, there was a way I could have accomplished it a bit quicker. I guess he didn't think he did not have time to take him out before the bombs went off.

It was said in the premiere of the Season that people were leaving Starling city after 2 attacks.

I don't think was done to shock us. At least I was not shocked by it at all.

Um, Sara had Stockholm Syndrome when she ran into Ivo. What's even more is that she had no choice what so ever but to help Ivo. If she did not Ivo would kill her. She did not want to be there.

Actually this episode kinda needed the Flash because he was the only one who could get everyone to help disable the bomb. And I disagree with you. I loved this episode more than I like the Flash episode.

I will also add to that I enjoyed the first half of Arrow Season 1, but I will say that when Slade Wilson appears in the flashbacks it got even better. So I just think it is a matter of preference.

I they will all become more relevant with next week's episode.

There is still plenty of time for Oliver to go through more tragedy in the flashbacks. You are also forgetting that he watched his mentor Yao Fei be killed and saw his best friend Slade turn on him. Oliver has it a bit more rougher. He also said in Season 2 Episode 4 "Crucible" that his 5 years away were 5 years where…

Yes, his acting (and the whole show) gets better as by the end of the Season.
