I give this one high marks for bringing us up to date on what happened after the tragedy and bringing back some of my favorite characters.

The opening scene with Diggle and Felicity was humorous. Then, the Tarzan rescue maneuver was fun to watch. Felicity is firmly on board the Arrow train.

I still enjoy the flashbacks to the island that show how Oliver became a strong fighter who is willing to kill when necessary.

It is amazing Roy has survived his vigilante activities. Saved by a girl.

I really like Summer Glau, but it is too bad she has to be a corporate raider.

I am glad the Oliver and Laura scenes were not full of angst. In fact, I think they handled that very well.

Walter! That was well played.

And redid his "hero-cave"...

AND kept the piece of exercise equipment that she said she loved to watch him on...*laughs*

I still enjoy the flashbacks to the island that show how Oliver became a strong fighter who is willing to kill when necessary. I love the island scenes...and as he was there for five years...there should be a great many stories.

It is amazing Roy has survived his vigilante activities. Saved by a girl. In Roy's defence...he was already damaged when the fight started...from his previous exploits...

...and the girl looked like the BLACK CANARY...the hero identity of Laurel in the comics. Would add another layer as to why she wants to distance herself from Oliver...keeping her dual life a secret AND why she would go ot work for the district attorney...for info on the bad guys.

I'm hoping...but I am not sure they will go that way.

I really like Summer Glau, but it is too bad she has to be a corporate raider. She COULD be the new lady hero...we all know Summer can kick butt.

I am glad the Oliver and Laura scenes were not full of angst. In fact, I think they handled that very well. Just get them together only to tear them apart again.

And you can tell the D.A. is warm for her form.

Walter! That was well played.

I am thinking because of all of the lives she DID save and TRIED to save...the Mom will be free soon.

I even think she and Walter will get back together.

What do you think?

I even think she and Walter will get back together. Not in our lifetime...no way.

What do you think?

I am pleased that Oliver refers to Walter as family now and I am sure he would be okay with Mom and Walter re-uniting.

I think it will be a long time before Walter gets over his wife's betrayal. She did know he was in captivity and she kept too many dangerous secrets from him.

Summer Glau would make a great hero.
