I'm gonna have to watch that one again. I was puzzled by the dramatic music for his introduction and was sitting there thinking "who is this guy and why should I care?"

ABC? Marvel? Season 2 is required.

Plus she reminded me of Ziva from NCIS. And that's a good thing, in my book.

Well…..that escalated quickly towards the end.

Or that Ollie doesn't buy Lenovo laptops.

I half expected Ollie to catch Felicity talking to the Salmon Ladder:

It reminds me of the prison on The Flash. I mean, where are the toilet facilities? And how do these prisoners get fed - safely?

For a moment there, I thought that Slade was going to do a Khan on Ollie:

"My name is Barry Allen, and I'm the fastest ma…….AGRGGGHHH! BIG NEEDLES IN ME! GET THEM OUT!!!"

That table conversation had me LOL.

Finch: "Heard from Root?"
Reese: "No, heard from Bear?"
Finch: "Nope. Found your missing grenades, drones and machines guns yet?"
Reese: "Hell no. They even took the tank."

I hope Ollie tells Slade about the plan to save his sis from Ra al Ghul by being trained by Merlin who Ollie has already beaten before he was stabbed by Ra *and* kicked off a cliff:

Wait, they went to the Badlands? Did they find Voyager there? And speaking of Trek (and as a big DS9 fan), it was great to see Chase Masterson again.

The only flaw in that for me was the partial misdirect with Dottie and the gun (and that was so well done). Apart from that, damn, what an episode! Peggy kicking ass, taking names…..until Dottie took a kiss and Peggy took a nap. And Angie is just so cool with all the wacky stuff going on, "My friend needs help, so…

Oh, and thumbs up for all the Truth Bombs which blew up in people's faces tonight. The Lance Bomb almost killed me.

"My name is Oliver Queen. Tonight I faced a threat even more dangerous than C4, or even the Demon's Head - that threat was my sister, trained by The Magician. Would she forgive me for being a lame lair and totally smashing through our apartment windows while wearing a hood? Or would she totally kick my ass?"

Poor Thea. Everyone has, or is, lying to her. Her parents, her real daddy, her brother, her ex……everyone.

The same Malcolm which Ollie himself defeated.

And Roy too.

I was wondering that myself. Maybe there was a pit involved and he doesn't remember yet?
