God I hope it is Slade who saves him. I saw some blog post about him being on the show again (I assumed probably in a flashback thing though).

Well I think he was kind of specifically talking about military tech, which kind of makes a little more sense than just "MICROPROCESSORS! GET IT?" But I just took it as a nod to the fact that he shrinks or whatever in the comics, since I think they said he wouldn't be doing any of that on the show.

So um, you'd think that Roy would have some kind of reaction after hearing that his ex girlfriend just murdered his mentor's ex girlfriend. Nope!

And what the hell were those swords Ollie picked? Are those real? They looked like something out of the Power Rangers.

(I actually enjoyed the episode a lot, especially Ra's.)

It'd be awesome for Slade to drag him off that mountain and nurse Oliver back to health just so he can taunt him a second time.

They both murdered some chumps while under the influence of drugs. They can bond over this!

Before we learned about the drug I thought Thea was just being ice cold with the whole "Sara's alive, not dead, right?" to Laurel.

Tough to say the exact way they'll take Ollie's survival or resurrection, but I wouldn't rule out a big time skip some point down the line. Gives Laurel, Roy, and Thea time to get trained up and also ages up the love child with that girl in Central City. If they introduce that kid as a nine-year-old that Ollie needs to start parenting this show's in trouble.

It would be sorta neat if they do a big gap for the last few episodes of Arrow's season, then Barry flips out for some reason in the season finale of Flash and travels [gap length of time] into the future, fixing the offset between shows.

Both eps were ratings hits for their respective shows so I would bet they'll do one a season.

Last weeks ep was a 1.4 in the demo, the best ever. Last night's was a 1.0.

If there is one thing about this show that I am certain, no matter what happens, everyone will continue to refer to Quentin as detective.

Holy poo poo.

I re watched the episode this evening while I was cooking and I got to say I think the music when Ra's was whispering his prayer to Ollie could've been dropped and it would've been for the better. I liked that they didn't have music for the fight, having it after felt like it was distracting.

Well we know something bad happened to the Hong Kong family to make his old partner seek out the assassins, so maybe the leg we see is Katana or her son (if either of them lived).

"The murderer's name is...uh, Kyle Nimbus. He's this guy who may or may not be able to will himself into a gaseous volume of cyanide. Good luck?"

Barry can punch someone at over 760mph. Ra's would still beat him because Plot Reasons...but realistically, a ~150 pound Barry punching a guy at 760mph would literally rip that guy's head off his body. Even at a lower speed, pretty much any hit Barry connected would be like the force of a car crash dispelled over a fist-sized area.

Flash tends to undersell that physical reality. Because it would be extremely horrifying if Barry accidentally shattered a bank robbers' sternum and destroyed his internal organs.

"Woo! Cisco, I got him!"
"Take that, Captain Mischief--- wait, holy gently caress, Barry, gently caress! What did you?!? Jesus!"

There's no speed force, punching someone at 760mph would have near the same effect on Barry. Remember how he to punch the one dude in the exact right place or he'd gib himself?

Perhaps Oliver might have done better if he had swung at R'as's body, instead of swinging around his head. He never goes for center mass. There's a reason why they say to go for center mass, Ollie. And swinging for the same spot with both swords probably didn't help, since it made them easier to dodge.

No, she's Tatsu aka Katana (from DC Outsiders). Though they haven't specifically made her out to be Katana even though she cut down an entire gang of Triads a few episodes back. (spoilered just in case)

You know for all this talk about the Lazarus pit, it's real easy to forget that we already have a miracle drug in Oliver's super miracle cure-all herb from Lian Yu.

Throughout the series that herb has:
-Cured Oliver on the island from various poisons and injuries
-Cured Slade's infected bullet wound
-Cured Diggle's Curare-laced bullet wound
-Cured Merlyn's Curare-laced bullet wound
-Cured Sara from a lethal dose of League snake poison

Pretty sure that thing is still going to be useful down the road.

Anyway, here's a promo video for tomorrow (spoilers, obviously)
Really liking how they're so into linking Flash and Arrow, as evidenced by one of Felicity's screens with the headline "STAR Labs Attacked by Yellow Blur"

Man good call. (I haven't read up on the thread but I'm assuming everyone's noticed that Ollie packed one of his little herb pouches along with him when he went to go fight Ra's, right? either that or it was a nice cotton bag of mp3s to listen to on the flight but that doesn't seem likely)
