After all the poo poo he went threw his first few months on the island. You would think he'd have seen it coming.

Oliver get's killed by Sarah the very next flashback. Lost logo comes on the screen :tviv:


Oliver's "no kill" rule isn't really in effect in Russia.

It is pretty funny that Sara left the present story line but she's still on the show since she's involved with his flashback.

In all seriousness last season was fun, and great in the second half but drat this season has been firing on all cylinders.

They're laying out seeds for next season since their already using her for the island flashback this season. Smart move, storywise and financially

It's kind of interesting that they came up with a mostly plausible reason for Diggle and Deadshot to work together.

Oh, Oliver, falling for the same trick twice? You didn't learn anything from Shado's dad, eh? Fun to watch his slow, slow progress.

How's Ollie's Russian? As someone who knows almost nothing about the language it sounds cool to me, but I'm sure it's far from perfect. Is it at least, like, not terrible? Glau supposedly has a good Russian accent, though it doesn't look like they're giving her a lot of chance to use it.

Deadshot told Dig that his brother wasn't collateral damage like he thought, instead someone hired Deadshot to kill him specifically. Someone going by the codename HIVE.

HIVE put the hit on Diggle's brother. Probably sets up present day Slade in the future.

For those curious and unaware regarding HIVE.

It stands for Hierarchy of International Vengeance and Extermination. Its an evil group with notable members including Deathstroke (Slade) and Talia Al'Ghul.

Also notable is that in the Teen Titan tv series, Hive was supervillian academy that was for a period run by Brother Blood.

Doesn't matter he was using BING! With its advanced search abilities it probably gave him a link to their secret server. Hahahhah sorry I just love that type of product placement. I hope Ollie does his next work out listening to his Zune.

I really wish they'd put the option of just watching all of the Island stuff sequentially somewhere, like on a DVD or Itunes or somewhere.

I don't mind it happening if they don't prolong the song and dance and make it the typical will they won't they thing.

EDIT
I find it interesting this season is setting the up the existence of super powers quite subtly.

This episode was weird and everyone seemed out of character. Somehow exploding and mowing down russian prison guards is totally ok despite Ollie changing his ways (especially considering those guards aren't "bad guys"), Diggle just letting Deadshot go for no reason whatsoever (inevitably for him to end up in his old profession). Seriously, how many innocent people died/will die in the Arrowverse because of Diggle's actions in this episode?

Then of course, the Felicity drama, ughh. Up until this point she's always made the double entendres, Ollie doesn't take them seriously, everyone has a good laugh etc. But this episode has clearly established Ollie and Felicity as a thing, and it's totally and completely unnecessary.

claws for alarm
Didn't someone post an interview in the first season thread from the creators/writers that she was going to be a romantic interest for the second season, or was that some kind of weird fever dream. Doesn't really bother me, as long as it's not too drawn out. I'm more concerned with them having Ollie bounce back between her, Laurel, and whoever else they add to the show later.

Is the leg shot of Waller at the start of this episode supposed to tell us that she was also the pair of legs from the end of season 1?
