Arrow

This fuckin' show.

One of the best episodes yet.

Great episode tonight! Unfortunately the DVR copy I was watching had WGN news cut in at the half hour mark to have the Pres talk about the Fort Hood shooting. 6 minutes of "We're still gathering information, and the people who should be on the case are on the case". When they finally got back, it was time for a commercial break, which made me think: They never cut in during a commercial break, always during the show. Assholes.

I also noticed a very brief scroll at the bottom of the screen towards the end saying something about the next episode being on a Sunday night. It was only up for about 2 seconds, so now I don't know what the fuck is going on.

But like I said, great episode.

WHAT...THE...FUCK???
that shit was brutal.slade is a true SOB,no doubt.great episode.
and.....isabel is slade?s daughter?

oh....and felicity with that skirt

That's what happens when your Nemesis knows your real identity and is not afraid to use it.

From the "sins of the father" comment that Isobel makes I'm pretty sure that she is indeed Robert Queen's illegitimate daughter and not Rose Wilson

Pretty sure shes Ravager. but some mix/matching, like Canary, etc.

Ollie did sleep with her, so while being a good twist I don't think they would go down the incest path in the show, I'm more inclined to go with Slade's daughter but I could be wrong. I was pretty sure Laurel wouldn't find out Arrow's identity like that either.

My bad. I got my wires crossed, in the comics she wasn't the illegitimate love child of Robert Queen, but was instead a former slave girl that was fascinated by and in love with him and saw herself as a more worthy heir to the Queen fortune than his blood relations. So that would still fit in this context.

Okay so maybe she is Ravager...

I saw that earlier today, I'm not really familiar with ravager in the comics, I haven't read too much DC in the past 7 years or so but the image looks ok, it's not the silver chainmail but I think it does the trick.

So is ghost Shado controlling Slade?

its not a ghost, its a side effect of the mira kuro driving slade crazy.

One thing i don't understand...how slade knew merlin is thea's father? I thought only moira, malcom and team arrow knew that.

Malcolm must be working with Slade

I was going to ask the same thing. My guess is Brother Blood did background research on Moira (like you do any political opponent) and figured it out the same way Malcom did.

maybe....that would be awesome though.but i still want to see a fight malcom vs deathstroke vs oliver

Oh. ..totally forgot the cameras.good point.

Anyone else unable to shake "mira kuru" being a really racist-asian way of saying "miracle" Maybe it's just me, but every time I hear it I chuckle to myself.

Malcolm and Slade are coming from very different places. I think it's far more likely Malcolm joins up with Oliver to take down Slade. Malcolm is no stranger to really bad ideas, but fundamentally he wants to help Starling. Slade is driven purely by revenge, and I don't think his plan to unleash a bunch of super roided up convicts on Starling for maximum chaos is gonna sit well with Malcolm. Nor do I think Merlin wants to destroy the Arrow. I think Malcolm actually respects the hell out of Oliver, and while they were working at cross purposes I never got the feeling that Oliver was anything other than a worthy obstacle on his path.

That said, Malcolm did really want Thea to know that he was her father. I'm sure he's not above using Slade as a messenger to that effect.
