- Seeing Neal McDonough on the show is cool, it feels like a real heavy-hitter has come to town.
- Terrific performance from Stephen Amell in this episode. He really shows us a new, lighter shade of Oliver: his body, his tone, his… everything.
- Full praise to the show for hitting the ground running and establishing a new story arc, and a new ‘big bad’ in the opening minutes of the episode.
- The twist at the end? Hmmm? Very unlikely twist indeed. Surely it’s a case of someone heroic going undercover or something?
- The flash-forward was subtle and brilliant. Definitely gonna hook us all for the next six months.
- Great start to the flashback-story-arc.
- I don’t like Diggle’s stupid helmet.
