I don't remember anything confirming that at all

Scheduling conflict. Otherwise, it would have happened

It was to maintain his cover. Thea knows he does Parkour, but doesn't know that he has real training.

Yep. And he even expressed interest, but they couldn't make the schedules work

I don't think she has training with a bow.

The Hong Kong guy's wife is named Tatsu, so she'll end up being the hero Katana. So I'm pretty sure they're not it

I liked the explanation someone gave above about Oli promising Tommy that he hadn't killed Merlyn. If the show plays that up, it'll make it all good again

I don't remember, how did Merlyn supposedly die?

I hope not, or they're gonna have a lot of 'splainin to do.

Waller could have just convinced Huntress that Sara was an assassin who had done terrible things.

Heck no. Iris is way more attractive than Felicity.

IIRC, he was accused by Moira of being a mass murderer, but is also presumed dead. She became the face of everything.

Do we actually know his face was all over the news? The fact that he was only accused, and was presumed dead (and they had a live Moira who confessed and was about to face trial to go on about) may have meant he didn't get much screen time.

What plot holes did you notice? I saw some minor ones, but nothing particularly bad.

Felicity is back, and it looks like Nyssa will be getting some more screen time this season.

AoS has been killing me with its plot-holes. It's a bit better than last season, but I really hated that the took the world's worst liar, and decide to make her infiltrate Hydra. When Skye brings it up as a concern, it's brushed off with "she got better", but then she still says she's bad at it.

Diggle's had some great family moments

D.C. has a history of people training with villains. Batman, Cassandra Cain, Black Canary, Robin (Tim Drake), and probably a few others I can't remember.

"Malcolm got some training…" by the League of Assassins. Don't forget that little detail

Both fight well - but Merlyn was trained by the League of Assassins.
