My favourite bit will always be when Ray is trying to sneak him onto the Jumpship to go back and save Nora and Nate catches them and he just casually waves with the biggest smile and goes "Hi, Nate!" Legends Darhk was a triumph and we'll never ser his like again ![]()

Deathstroke was more developed as a character, but the Prometheus guy was a much better actor. I really enjoyed his scenes with pretty much everyone.

In my ideal version of the show, I think I would have had Slade come back in the Season 5, with the original five year plan, revealing him to be the one pulling the strings behind the curtain of all the previous season villains. Season 2 was great as is, but I can imagine a version of that plot line with even more emotional resonance with an additional couple of seasons of build up behind it.

CW has announced that this year's crossover is going to be called "Elseworlds" which is a callback to DC's old line of non continuity what if stories.

Elseworlds were a real mixed bag. You had fun ones like the Vampire Batman trilogy but there were far too many that started out different but by the end everything turns out the same.

Hopefully this new team of writers can make Diaz into an actual character and not a Mary Sue.

I predict Diaz will take the time-honored tradition of being the season's mid boss only to get chumped by whatever this new season's big villains are (presumably the Longbow Hunters teased at last season that never actually showed up). He might not die immediately but he'll be around just to show how much he hasn't already won and how these guys have in fact already won.

Now that he's a regular he's going to take up the traditional post of "untrustworthy guy who keeps mysteriously popping up out of nowhere in the control room with vital information". At some point he'll meet or maybe even appear on The Flash and will inexplicably be more jokey than he normally is on Arrow.

Me too. I was super glued to the tv most of the episode; probably one of best premieres of Arrow in while. Flash was pretty good, but this was schway better.

Arrow is always great when it has Oliver just beating the poo poo out of fools. Also that ending was a great surprise, but I kind of guessed it because they both had the same hair.

I thought that was the thing this season, that we were getting flash-forwards but not from Ollie's perspective anymore. I thought that kinda made this episode (season?) unnecessarily grim, since we know that 5-ish years from now Ollie's son is going to go on some desperate search and find hermit Roy. Which means things probably don't turn out well for Ollie. Decent start, though!
