For a former spy some of the camera locations he chose are pretty bad lol.
I wonder if Slade knows that Sarah was with the League of Assassins. He's a pretty smart guy and upon seeing Roy and Sarah in the house knew to retreat.
I hope we find out how Sarah got into the League. A island like flashback specifically showing that would be cool. I'll take any excuse to give Nyssa screen time. That costume was awesome!
Seems like the show has abandoned Tommy Merlyn as a villain by having him be on the run from Ras Al Ghul. Kind of a lame way to get rid of a guy who was the vocal point of a whole season and the reason Moira can run for Mayor.
1. Why are people putting spoiler tabs about stuff that was already shown? 2. Merlyn will be back for sure. Maybe not this season but we will see him. Personally I didn't like him that much, I hope his return will make sense.
Force of habit from another forum for me. TV show thread rules stated you had to have their equivalent of spoiler tags around your messages 24h after the shows first air time. More than a few have had some rules like this.
New island villain (Dr. Ivo) shows up looking for a super serum. Love triangle forms between Oli, Slade and Shado (Yao Fei's daughter). Slade (moments from death) is injected by the serum and is driven mad but given super powers. Oli, Shado and Sara are captured, island villain (Ivo) makes Oli choose between Sara and Shado. Oli chooses Sara and Shado is shot in the head as a result. Super-Slade appears and kills most of the baddies. Oli and Sara lie about the fact that Shado's death was caused by Oli. Super-Slade is now super mad and hell bent on revenge. Present day Oli hints that the eventual revelation of the truth is the reason for their falling out.
TLDR: Slade fell in love with Shado, who gets killed by Ivo because of Oli choosing to save Sara. Lie of omission makes Slade go mad.
best episode so far, no whining, no crying girls, no bullshit! i hope that the quality of the episodes will at least stay the same, cause in the first season there were so many boring episodes, so i just had to force myself to watching them (the only dc comics tv-show related atm, right?).

Yep. The Flash will get a TV show though. The Pilot and season 1 are green lighted.
I agree this was a very good episode. Excited to see how the island thing works with all those ex prisoners of that boat and how they get Oliver back and how Slade gets off the island. Sarah too. Sooner or later she needs to be removed from the island to get LoA training
Suicide Squad episode was kinda meh. Did a good job of making it obvious that Slade was in Olivers head.
Loved the Harley Quinn easter egg though. This chick is chaos incarnate and I am quite excited to see what she finds funny! Maybe in the birds of prey episode?
Wait, where did Ollie knew that Argus chick from? The suicide squad look 'meh' indeed. Diggle just isn't imba enough yet as a character on his own. He's still too much looking around being confused and trying to find himself, etc.
I guess this was a decent filler ep for the plot to move forward without questioning why Ollie isn't moping around and stuff.

We've had all this buildup with the Mirakuru but got no further in his training than slapping water.
He had one scene where Sarah was teaching him to shoot a bow. And We went to the Queen house and shook Slades hand to let him know he had the drug in him. So he is doing things!!!
But ya, I'd rather be having sex with Thea than fighting crime too.
pretty displeased with episode 18, i can't quite put my finger on it. it seems his attempts at getting "revenge" on oliver amounts to letting thea know her real father, and telling laurel he's the arrow feels meager. it feels lacking in a sort of punishment. maybe because i'm a spectator and the fact we know these truths makes it far less shocking.
on another note, it's not hard to see how this is going to end when slade was shown being lead by a ghost of shado's (i haven't read teh comics) but this looks far too cliche.

Maybe you missed the part where he maneuvered Oliver to lose control of his company (and probably easy access to high tech gear and lots of money). Or where Roy left town and is no longer in the fight vs Slade. Or maybe that Oliver's only ally in the Police is now under arrest. And Laurel is not going to blame Oliver for this.
Slade is taking away everyone Oliver depends upon. His plan is to leave him alone without anything and then kill him, and this plan is working.
Slade is being a total boss about this. For someone under the influence of that rage drug and everything that goes with it, he's impressively patient and deliberate about it.
Flash is supposed to come back in episode 20, which is 2 weeks from now. Unless they wrap this all up next week, which is doubtful, Flash pops in and saves the day in a couple weeks.

I would guess if Slade manages to make more Mirakulu soldiers, Oliver will not be able to handle this alone and then this would make sense.
