What was Slade's old nickname they mentioned, "Terminator"? Got me wondering if an inside joke and Bennett will be the Terminator when they get around to next movie. He'd be good at it.

Have they never called him the Terminator before? Couldn't remember. He certainly was a wrecking machine mowing through the Jackals...
Interesting Vigilante reveal ... not sure about that yet, unless V starts turning helpful as well.

Dinah has been a good addition to the show. Arrow is back to being the steadiest Arrowverse series on the CW. Dropping Oliver as the Green Arrow has forced the writers to break out of their formula.
This affects Arrow since Andrew Kreisberg was one of its main producers during its better years. He has been accused of serious allegations on Supergirl that will likely cost him his job as a showrunner and producer with Berlanti's shows.

When he first appeared he was called Deathstroke the Terminator.

I've been a little behind on Arrow episodes but caught this one and now have a couple of questions: Did Dinah and Vigilante get their powers due to the dark matter energy Flash brought to this earth once Barry got out of the speed force? If so, are they part of the 11 people in bus that Devoe is tracking?

While it was cool seeing Deathstroke back in action, I was kind of meh with the big reveal about Slade's son being the leader of that gang.
In a way, it is kind of refreshing how Oliver has taken a back seat as the green Arrow.

Vigilante isn't Slade's son. Vigilante is Black Canary's former partner/lover. Slade's son is the leader of the gang that Oliver and Slade were captured by at the end of the episode.

Slade has several children in the comics. It will be interesting to see if we get them all.
I would be so down for a Deathstroke spin-off show. Arrow works better when he's involved.
