When the captain said "Ritual cult suicide," someone should have said "They cut off their own heads??"
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
How could he get any more adorable? Answer: not possible - there is no more adorable he could be.
This is a true fact.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Props to Agents of SHIELD tonight for knowing how to pronounce cavalry.
Well, if you've named a character that, it would be highly embarrassing to mess it up.

Besides, The Cavalry would kill you with her pinkie if you mispronounced it.

Man, as happy as I am to see The Wall, I have a BIG problem with sexifying her up. God damn it. Amanda Waller is a stone badass. She doesn't need to be a skinny sexpot.
And wait -- Moira's attorney is Jean Loring? Huh.
Also, I kind of love Dr. Ivo. (Assuming he's all crazy like he is in the comics.) (He was Deputy Doug in Dawson's Creek! I knew I saw him in something else.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

This needs to be repeated.
Also, I was expecting Lawton to be working for Waller by the end of the episode.

Eventually, EVERYONE will be working for Waller. This is my headcanon.
Despite my raaaaaage over her makeover, I did bounce up and down and possibly shout "Oh HELL yeah!" when I realized she was The Wall. And then got ragey over the sexyfication.
I really loved how casually she mentioned that she knew that Ollie was vigilante-ing it up alongside Digg. BAD.ASS.
Justice League cartoons are on TV Saturday mornings, and so I make Tim watch them, and when he realized that sexy Amanda Waller was, well, Amanda Waller, he said, "She's a lot more badass in the cartoon."
Yes. Yes, she is. That cartoon got SO MUCH RIGHT. ::cough::ClancyBrown::cough::
Finally, most of my knowledge of H.I.V.E. comes from the old Teen Titans cartoons, so the connection is actually just making me giggle.
Oh! Also, theory: in flashback!timeline, they go back to the island ("Kate, we have to go baaaaaaack!") and find the Captain America super-soldier serum and give it to Slade to heal him, which super-powers him up like in the comics. Even though he's Australian.
