Back when roy was crazy, didn't he pull arrows out of himself that Oliver fired at him, then throw them back as a weapon? My guess is it's just his Mirakuru trip memories resurfacing, and blending together with random poo poo the way dreams do; not him actually having been the one to kill Sara.

I know they are pushing other stories right now, but I feel Brendan Routh is woefully underused as Ray Palmer. This episode was frustrating in that area.

When he entered Felicity's apartment he said "Nice place, lots of space!" which is what both Bruce Wayne and the Joker said the Vikki Vale in Batman (1989). Jesus Christ, gently caress me for posting that.

Possibly the worst episode the show has ever done? The ending hit me as good as the rest of you, but otherwise? The episode was a total drudge. The flashbacks were incredibly boring and nothing interesting happened in them, the villain twist was absurdly predictable and dull. The family drama was yawn-tastic. The scenes with Laurel were as bad as ever. Even Felicity instead of being her usual funny self was basically reduced to a soap opera caricature of a person. Not to mention the random pointless shot of Barrowman glaring. But hey, at least they remembered to put Diggle in a mask this time?

There's no way Arsenal's really the killer... that had to have been a Mirakuru-side-effect-nightmare. He keeps saying he's having trouble sleeping; he's probably suffering from night terrors. That has to be it.

Slade takes control of Roy's body during the times Roy is sleeping. Because of their blood bond. Wilson may be locked up in a Chinese prison 20 feet below ground, but he's still a free man.

I've been seeing weird parallels between Chuck and Arrow for a while, and they ramped them up earlier this season with Brandon Routh joining the show. But tonight we also had Zork references (a touchstone for Chuck) and the foreshadowing of a brilliant but absent father. If only Scott Bakula wasn't on NCIS:Paychecks!

Stuff like this is a lot easier to watch if you mentally replace the words hacking, hackers, and virus with magic, wizards, and curse, respectively, because that's what they are to most people. MIT is just a stand-in for Hogwarts.

Thinking back on it, Roy having something to do with Sara's death isn't too surprising. After all, considering that Manu Bennett neither confirmed nor denied that he was coming back for season 3, using "maybe the mirakuru cure didn't work as well as we thought" is definitely a set up for Slade to breakout of Lian Yu and a return to Starling (either as a villain or anti-hero or ARGUS merc). Also, you'd probably want someone to go toe-to-toe with Merlyn as well, and god knows Oliver can't do that.

I don't...wha...  Did Roy have a flashback and kill Sara? I'm having a hard time believing that he did, but then how would he know about the scene in the first place? Is there some kind of DC villain that can plant false memories into people? Is it possible that the League of Assassins brainwashed Roy, because it still seems like Ras was the one that put out the hit on Sara.
