Too much Laurel.
Yup. I have no use for her.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I am finally caught up to Arrow. My brief reactions:
I like S1 better than S2, but the last few eps of S2 have had great energy. I feel like S2 pacing was a bit slow the first half of the season or so. And they seem to be re-writing history some.
I am pretty disturbed with the actress who plays Laurel and what was done to her character in S2. She doesn't look right - and I suppose that goes with her storyline of alcoholism, but she has looked like a red hot wreck all season. I was rooting for her last season, now I kind of want her to die.

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

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Felicity is the BEST. I also loved her crying at Moira's wake *and* trash-talking the hell out of her at the same time. And having total geekgasms over ARGUS's tech!
So, it never occurred to me that Slade's "one more" that had to die referred to Oliver -- I just took it for granted it would be someone Oliver loved, not Oliver himself. I guess for obvious meta reasons since Oliver can't die? But also I feel like in-show, Slade had someone else in mind. I automatically assumed he meant Sara, but maybe not?

I think he has someone else in mind, too. And I suspect that it's going to be Sara or Laurel (or, at an extreme outside possibility, Felicity), because I think he wants to kill someone Ollie loves romantically, because that's "equal" in his mind to Shado dying.

Me, too. I kept telling Oliver he was being a little dense thinking it's him all episode. And I was thinking Sara also, both to parallel his losing Shado and because she was the one Oliver chose to live.

It has to be Sara. I never thought it would be Oliver.
However, Slade did say he was going to run an arrow through Oliver's eye, so maybe Oliver thinks that means that's how he will die.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ack, how was that the end of the episode! Bastards, with their time limits and schedule.

I don't get how there are still 2 more episodes left. Because now that Team Deathstroke is unleashed, it seems like the next episode is where it all gets resolved and wrapped up.
