ThisArrowreview contains major spoilers.
I apologize in advance.
Pleasebeware of spoilers, though.
Even the music faintly apes the James Bond theme, and its definitely in keeping with the tone.
Even a small victory over Slade requires Ollie to hurt himself.

But its his later scene that really nails it.
And while the latter is correct, it wasnt quite in the way I expected.
Excuse me, I…I think I have something in my eye.
Its downright inspiring, which is exactly what I want from a superhero show.
You know what this means, right?
On the other hand, though, her first scene with Quentin is great, and quite telling.
Did I miss an episode or three?
This is how they chose to get Quentin out of the clink?
Im also not sure I really buy Isabel Rochevs spurned lover motivation.
The danger here is that, as Thea herself says, she is the daughter of two mass-murderers.
I was never gonna be okay.
Its not in my genes.
That would be Slade Wilson.
That part where Sara makes a flying leap and Deathstroke just catches her by the throat?
Just terrific stuntwork and staging all around.
The big rescue of Roy was suitably superheroic, too.
All in all, a solid episode.
Theres one more thing Id like to spotlight, as the music throughout this episode was great.
It definitely felt more cinematic than usual, probably because of the more varied group of themes we got.
I dont currently seeArrowcomposer Blake Neely listed anywhere in relation to that, but theres still time.
Thats a big deal.
If youre a KGBeast fan, thats also a big deal.
If I was Slade, Id probably be annoyed with Oliver, too.
That piece of tech we saw Cisco wielding?
Snow, because he was a psycho.
c’mon tell me were going to see him inFlashseason one!
Yes, I realize Im just assuming the pilot will be picked up.
Felicity refers to the head of STAR Labs: Harrison Wells.
Felicitys crack about hacking Wells files basically making her unstoppable was great.
I love this character.
Speaking of Felicity, theyre playing up her connection to Barry pretty heavily.
And if she were to adopt the code name of Oracle at some point, I wouldnt complain.
And thats all Ive got this week!
Let me know what I missed!
