Crossover episode was great. It was also the 100th Episode. They managed to be all out sci-fi while staing true to the history of the show and the character.

Also refreshing to see an entire episode without a flashback.

Who was the guy with the paler Deathstroke mask?

And yeah, I liked this episode.  A lot of people are complaining about it, but this was essentially "Arrow does For the Man Who Has Everything", and frankly they did it better than Supergirl did.  (Diggle as Arrow was the best part, says a lot about him.)

Supergirl and Wally goofing around while Wilddog went "hrumph" was fun, too.

If the show gets a sixth season (which I think it will) the producers have already stated that the flashbacks will be done with. It was planned out as a five year story.

Paler Deathstroke was just a Mirakuro soldier from Deathstroke's army.

That mid season finale was one of the best written episodes in forever. Loved the tone, score, action.


That ending was incredible and I still have no idea what's going on.


This show is back.

I liked it, too.

Everything except the Michael Holt subplot.  But what's with the CW and neurotic significant others?  Sure, the reveal causing shock/tension is natural, but who says "Do what I say or else" like that? That's not "I love you too much to see you hurt", that's "I'm a control freak, and I'm doing you a favor by leaving".

I can't explain why, but my hunch is Laurel faked her death. When she showed up at the end she greeted him like it was just another day.

Not my idea, so I can't claim it. But it could be Earth 2 Laurel, who we know is a villain.

So, uh..

I'll just spoil this part:  Ollie skinned a man alive.  At first to get information, but he said "He broke early.  The rest was practice."

I know the point of Chase's vendetta is Ollie has his skeletons and makes excuses for them, but god damn.  Skinned...  alive.

I kind of agree with Anatoli.

Ollie went to him..  You don't travel to another country just to hear "Deals off."

Sure, he's a gangster and obviously corrupted (Using innocents as human shields, stealing needed medicine for street drugs.  As if meth wasn't easy to make and didn't need diabete's meds..), but just saying, he was essentially in the right on this.

Best of all the CW shows right now. Leaves me wanting more when it ends.

Well, I learned something today.

Fantasy Island.  Why am I only learning about this now? 

Sounds kind of like it may have inspired Twisted Metal, what with the host of the island making dreams come true, but with a monkey paw like twist that turns them into nightmares..

My hunch for next season:

[spoiler]Deathstroke got everybody into the prison to escape all the explosions[/spoiler]

Most sjw channels think Diggle won't stick.

I think, given Lady Thor and such, this will be at least a few seasons worth of status quo.  If no one accepts it, it proves their pr machine needs work.
