I mean, he did just imply he was going to drag Thea into an incredibly dangerous situation. Perfectly normal older brother response, really.

If the older brother has a bow and arrow, and is potentially homicidal.

Good Christ, that final scene with Barry waking up and slowly realizing where he was gave me goosebumps.
Moira is besties with Ra's.
Slade is dead.
Roy is kicking his life of vigilantism into high gear.
Grundy.

Series best episode maybe?

I loving loved the Girl who Kicked the Hornets Nest reference in the final fight She does the same thing with a nail gun and nail guns the villians feet to the ground then proceeds to the beat down

That beat down at the end with the big bad was pretty awesome.

Ollie fucken shot Roy in the leg because he almost had a clue that wouldn't turn into a real lead because Roy doesn't have the resources Ollie does. This miracle poo poo really pisses him off.

Slade isn't dead. I'm pretty sure that they just appear dead and then revive if the serum works.

e: I have read none of the comics ever, so this is conjecture.

There is no conjecture needed here. As stated above we know Slade doesn't die there because Sara has already asked about him in the present day.

Good episode, but I don't know if I like the idea of time travel being introduced to the Arrow universe, which it clearly is given Barry's backstory.

Yeah well now that we have super strength muscles of concrete I don't think time travel would break the realism of the show as much as it would have in series one (earthquake machine excepted).

Can't wait till next weeks episode, Barry was excellent.

And hey if the flash show doesn't get picked up he can always become a guest actor on Arrow :D

Super powers is a way different animal than time travel. I wasn't complaining about the "realism," more about the fact that time travel stuff can get messy and change timelines and continuity.

On the other hand I was kind of in awe when Barry was talking, thinking "Oh my God I can't believe they're really going the whole nine yards with this. This show is literally talking about Professor Zoom going back in time to murder Barry's mother."

That was such a good episode (I swear I say that every week). The introduction of Barry was superb and Grant Gustin handled him really well and made me want to watch a series about the character. Using a typical super strong tanky kinda villain is a great way of introducing powers because it's not really much of a stretch from the normal action scene. When Ollie said he's seen some crazy things on the island I like to thank that each of the five years just got more and more insane with powers to match a constant ramping insanity in the show.

There is no way the spinoff is not getting picked up.

Hopefully they'll stick with whatever happens happened style time travel and that can be avoided. Otherwise, yeah. Total chaos. I still dislike that they are introducing superpowers. Increased strength, stamina etc is a whole different ballgame to super speed and time travel. If they didn't want to launch the flash series, I'm really not convinced that Arrow powers would have ever reached that league, but there you go.
