It seems small potatoes in the scheme of things.
Fair point.
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
it feels like the show is heading for a "Becoming Pt. 2" moment
I agree. Because Slade is so many moves ahead of Ollie and is turning out to be basically unbeatable, I think it's gonna take everything he's got, all his friends, and would probably take an act of great loss to balance it out. Which again makes me think Sara is toast. Or Laurel or Quentin, but less likely. I'm not spoiled, but I'm fairly certain that one of the Lances is gonna bite it before the finale. I am fretting at the prospect but I can probably live with it as long as they don't sacrifice Diggle or Felicity (WHICH WILL NEVER HAPPEN, NUH-NUH.)

Poor Team Arrow. So thoroughly outmaneuvered in this episode. And in general, but especially in this episode.
"We'll follow him when he leaves the police station! He'll never think of that!"

Sara has a huge target on her back, which the show has been about as subtle as an anvil in telegraphing. But there will be NO KILLING OF COP DADDY.
I think it's gonna take everything he's got, all his friends
Plus Amanda Waller and her resources, I'm expecting (including the Suicide Squad). And, as an outside chance, possibly also Nyssa and the League of Assassins.

And Malcolm Merlyn as the wild card! Wouldn't that be hilarious if Oliver was forced to accept Merlyn's help to protect Thea from Slade? Well, if Dig can work with Deadshot...
I have no idea where LoA is gonna fall on this moral quagmire. They're after Merlyn, but protective of Sara, so if Slade kills Sara, Nyssa may come back to Starling City to help avenge her beloved.
... damn, every scenario I can think of ends with dead Sara. I am preemptively pissed because I like her a lot, but it seems to be pretty much dictated by the story logic. Ah well. Maybe they'll surprise me.

The scientists and the lab flunkies down in QC's Applied Sciences division have to be REALLY confused by now. First the earthquake machine and now some crazy serum? I decided it must be sort of like Better Off Ted's Veridian Dynamics. Imagine Phil and Lem running into Slade!

Oh, I loved how that was tossed off. By the way, completely without explanation, you guys are all now working on this totally legal, not at all evil serum. See you at the company meeting!
