Also? Compared to Deathstroke in the comics? Manu Bennett is still underplaying the role. Which means he still has room to crank things up a few more notches.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

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

Hell, he's underplaying compared to Slade in Teen Titans. (Who was awesome.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Manu Bennett is the best. "I'm not one to hold a grudge."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The idea of Slade walking around the city and telling All Teh Secretz is the funniest thing that's happened on any secret identity show ever.

Actually, do we know how Slade knows about Thea's parentage? Did he find out from his special secret cameras? Or is it just that Oliver in particular is pretty terrible at keeping secrets?

That Slade, he's such a know-it-all. Also, how does he throw a katana with such an unerring accuracy when he has no depth perception?

Mirakuru. It does everything. Maybe it lets him sniff out secrets too.

I also loved how remorseful and genuine Moira was with Oliver yet she STILL didn't tell Oliver Malcolm Merlyn was alive, 'cause you know, it wouldn't be Moira fucking Queen if she showed all her cards.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
When the line about "sins of the father" came up I expected River Tam to reveal (SURPRISE!) that she's Ollie's hither-to-unknown sister (different mother, of course).
