The only odd thing is that on both the island and Starling City when Blood was testing them a bunch of people died taking Mirakuru, and now all of a sudden 20 out of 20 inmates all made it?

So good. Every week I'm always just shocked at how good this show actually is. It's the only 20+ episode season show I watch that I actually don't mind is 20+ episodes each season.

That was badass how Slade kick Sarah, Ollie and Diggle ass at their base.

It's like they did a complete turn with Laurel's character again, she is now back in Ollie's corner. They are desperately trying to save her character.
I wasn't too happy with Felicity coming on the mission, I don't think any of the others would have allowed it.

How can they be broke owning a majority share in a Fortune 500 company? The lawyer says the stock is virtually worthless yet Isabel is bragging about being a young CEO of a Fortune 500 company.

They said she diluted the stock, which seemed like what Lex Luther did to Spider-Man in Social Network.

I'll just go on record of saying that I will be so bummed if they do something like cure Slade Wilson at the end of the season. The character is such a bad ass and to take the Miracuru out of him just seems like such a waste. Have I mentioned again how much Bennett owns the role btw?
What there doing with Laurel is interesting. I guess that will make all the people on the internet happy who are complaining about Sara, and how Laurel will definitely become the Canary since she warmed up to the vigilante.
Neat being introduced to the Flash characters but they did seem kind of out of left field for the episode.

Once again Laurel shows up in a location where she sees something key and she has absolutely no way of knowing she should be there.
Makes me think after her dad's talk she's going to keep it a secret that she knows about Arrow and Canary until something maybe happens to Canary and she's ready to take over...

Great stuff. They've done a good job of making me hate Laurel a lot less lately. Still hope they don't make her the Canary. I don't think there's any way the actress can pull that off.
I'm not sure what I hope happens with DeathStroke. I obviously hope they defeat him and kick his ass to the curb, but I don't think I want him to be cured or die. I hope he escapes to return another day, I think.

They will probably do what comics do a lot. Some sort of explosion/crash/collapse that everyone thinks DeathStroke is dead. No way can he survive.....but 20 issues later..he lives!! Make it look like the character is dead and if they use him again, he lived, otherwise, he died.

The Flash pilot was originally intended to be shown in Arrow's slot before this episode aired. Only when the CW realized it would be better to properly premiere it in the Fall in its own slot, did it get pulled.

This episode went a long way towards redeeming Laurel. I still hold out hopes they won't kill off Sara for her sake, though.
