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?
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Mirakuru. It does everything. Maybe it lets him sniff out secrets too.

Handwavium + mirakuru.

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).

She didn't really explain that, though, did she? So now I'm ridiculously curious.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
In the comics, Isabel Rochev knew Ollie's Dad, probably in the biblical sense.

Which, if they're following comics canon, makes her sleeping with Ollie in Russia SO GODDAMN CREEPY.

I said to Barb on FB that it feels like the show is heading for a "Becoming Pt. 2" moment of "No weapons...No friends...No hope. Take all that away...and what's left?"
Because Ollie is kind of losing everything, isn't he? I don't think he cares all that much about Queen Consolidated, except for the part where it *is* his family's company, after all. But still, he's lost QC, he's lost Thea, his relationship with Moira is by no means patched up (I don't think; I think at best they established a detente), Roy has left town to punch things, Laurel knows he's the Arrow, Cop Daddy is arrested, and all hell has broken loose.
And there's still 5 episodes to go. Daaaaaang.

I thought that was a given. Both her statement about sins of father and son and her earlier interaction with Moira (arctic breeze had nothing on Moira Queen's disdain) pointed toward Isabel having a history of Robert Queen. The sexy kind, obviously. Robert Queen was supposed to have been a big philanderer, IIRC. I didn't even need comics canon to come to that conclusion.
The fact that she probably slept with both Queen Pere and Fils just makes me laugh. I mean, she's a supervillain hench-woman! They are mass-manufacturing a deadly serum that'd kill 90% of those who receive it and turn the rest into rageaholic killing machine! It seems small potatoes in the scheme of things.
