What did the 1st say to her " The Child of Ras Al Ghul wants you back? " I could make that out.

That's what it sounded like to me..

So maybe no Ra's showing his face, but Talia instead? I could see that working.

Regardless, this episode is awesome. I am so glad I gave this show a chance when it first aired.

Being forced to prosecute someone who was a second mother to you would cause some guilt. Plus she has to be visible angry at herself so the less understanding audience members won't be.\

Haha, no, that's entirely fair- it was just that I was happy at the beginning of the scene when it looked like they were going to bond over Ollie not being pissed at her, and then, nope.

Also, I am digging Count Vertigo in this episode. Very Joker-esque, in a good way.

Edit: Welp. Nevermind.

I doubt it was something actually bringing him back from the dead. The way he phrased it made it sound like he just faked being dead.

Quoting from Batman Begins..

"But is Ra's al Ghul immortal? Are his methods supernatural?"
"Or just cheap parlor tricks to conceal your true identity, Ra's?"

(God, this show really is Batman Begins: The TV Show.)

I loved pretty much everything about this episode. I'm hoping we see off-island Slade by the end of this season.. The mud/facepaint mimicking the mask was a nice touch.

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.

I nabbed the season one DVDs for my birthday recently, and just binged through it.

It's really solid. It has a few weak points, but watching it all together without weeklong gaps helps mitigate that.

An episode where Ollie is hurt or captured and Dig has to fake being the Arrow would be cool.

Hell, especially if he has to interact with Roy in some way and Roy goes, "Wait gently caress this isn't the same person, what the hell, who are you?"

And that starts leading towards Roy finding out his identity.

I wonder if we'll get to see more of a straight-on shot, or if it'll be limited to that little tease of the hair.

Didn't the previews show her more than the episode actually did? So she might show up sometime later in this season.

I mean, they've introduced the idea that ARGUS has all these folks locked up in cells- it wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility for there to be some sort of jailbreak, have her escape.. Hell, if they ever wanted to have Nightwing/any Bat-folks show up, that'd be an ideal way to do it.

But, realistically, I'm willing to bet it was just a quick cameo. A fun one, too. They could have some fun with that idea, if Oliver keeps some involvement with ARGUS- have people in the cells you don't wanna have on the show but wanna tease people with.

Good episode, except:

A) Whiny Thea, which I thought we were kinda done with, and
B) Them holding off on Laurel telling Oliver she knows, 'cause, that does nooooot need to be dragged out.

I actually like the reveal with Isabel at the end, 'cause when they killed her, I kinda went, "Oh. Well. That was anti-climactic."

Don't start this. Her entire world just got pretty much shattered. She's loving due to be pissed off about it and for a good while. It's like you people just want them to fast forward through any character development that doesn't contain a fight scene.

No, you're right, that was an overreaction on my part. I think I just expected more from the scene when Ollie told her about his dad knowing about Merlyn- not a full, "Oh okay everything is sunshine and rainbows!", but more of a recognition.
