I think that was the point of giving them these last few episodes. Because they didn't want to end the show on the depressing note last season ended on.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I can't actually believe there are 4 more episodes of Arrow after tonight. WAY too much crazy shit going on.
LOVED the reference to Dr Light.

Why don't they just forge Thea's signature?

Because Ollie left the papers on the shelf of booze.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I actually cheered out loud both times Slade got knocked on his ass. Though I cheered louder for the two lab geeks. (Who I'm guessing will be regulars on The Flash, based on how awkwardly shoved into the proceedings they seemed to be.)

Also, reading between the lines, Quentin has a pretty good idea who the Arrow is, but has decided it's better not to know.

I seriously can't tell anymore.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I legit yelled "Holy Shit!" when that overhead shot of the infuser circled around to reveal Roy. This show is slickly shot as a rule, but the camera work in this ep was particularly sharp, I thought.
Actually I went ACCK! and EEEE! and did a lot of flailing in general. Oliver's face when he realized he and his father both slept with Isabel! Thea's horror at realizing she almost kissed her brother! (Oh, these whacky Queen siblings and their accidental foray into familial skeeviness!) Isabel dying! Isabel getting Mirakuru'd! Laurel figuring out Sara is Black Canary! And surprisingly acting with understanding and forgiveness instead of rage!
"I'm a bomber. I wonder if I could put that on my resume under Special Skills." "By the way, I hated her well before I knew she was a supervillain." And the line about Barry being in the coma *and* moving on! Oh, Felicity. You will always be my favourite.
Fun ep!

Ha! I said "Awwwwwwkward!"
Isabel getting Mirakuru'd!
I look forward to even more badass River Tam moves now.

Yeah, with the way the scene was shot, I knew it couldn't be Slade on the blood transfusion techno-cross of doom, but somehow didn't realize that Roy was the obvious replacement.
Ollie's face when he found out that Isabel slept with his father was perfect.
The "Mirakuru has a cure" bit seemed a bit out of left field. Okay, so Ollie decided it was better to try to train the Mirakuru craziness out of Roy than to find a way to develop a cure he knew was possible? "I was ashamed" doesn't really fly, but the rest of the episode made up for it.
I also like that Laurell is handling the whole Ollie/Arrow and Sara/Canary thing in a mature and supportive fashion. That bombshell didn't appear to have the effect Slade was hoping for.
