Cheap cliffhanger resolution. He didn't get out of that after all, someone had to randomly jump in at the perfect moment to get him out and then disappeared. Almost a deus ex machina, except that Black Canary is going to fit into things eventually, so she wasn't really dropped in
just to help there.
Nice connection, seeing the origin of the hosen.
Lance's turnaround was a long time coming, but it's really satisfying now that it finally has. He's not only going to The Hood because he know he
can help, he's actually admitting they
need his help.
I hope the mom gets out of this mess somehow. I know why people want to hold her responsible, but it really wasn't her fault. She was involved, she wasn't responsible. There's a difference. She wanted out. And she came out, eventually. She was hurt by Merlyn just as much as anyone else, she lost her husband, almost her son, and almost her second husband.
Wow, so Lance is the one that coins The Arrow. Love it.

I loved Laurel’s realization moment about Tommy and her guilt as well.

I’m sure she will and she won’t, respectively. The epiphany was perfectly placed to be believable and sincere. I’m sure it really shook her eyes open. And I won’t lie, the scene actually made me shed a tear. It was a really powerful moment. Very well done.
BlessedCheesemaker wrote:actually that costume is the same one that Malcolm wore last season
I noticed that. I thought it
was him, because I read he’ll be in a couple episodes as the Dark Archer, and I’m assuming this group being referenced is the League of Assassins, of which he is a member, so I thought that must be him, but apparently not. Very strange similarity then though.

Woah, great observation! I never made that connection!
BlessedCheesemaker wrote:Supposedly Slade Wilson in the comics is actually a villain of sorts
I know, I’ve only known him as a bad guy from the only thing I’ve known him in, the Teen Titans cartoon, so it was very weird for me last season realizing who he was, and then realizing he’s a good guy here. It will be interesting to see what causes the turn, if that’s going to be a part of this show.

I always thought it was the mask of the other soldier, the one that tortured him. Because it’s not just hung up, like a memorial, the arrow through the eye makes it look more like a warning/trophy.
