So, that was great.

But in a year, did no one go downstairs to the basement of the club? Really?

Suppose to get a reason for that in the first few episodes.

I really enjoyed this episode and there were a ton of great moments, but my god Laurel's dialogue was hilariously bad. I'm not sure if it was her acting or just the script, but it felt so cheesy and stupid that I kept laughing every time she spoke.

I don't have a problem with her character or Katie Cassidy, but if they don't fix this quick I'm going to have a hard time taking this show seriously.

I haven't read the comics, so I might be completely wrong on this... But I swear, that is Sarah as Black Canary. Either I'm 100% wrong or this is obvious and everyone knows... But I'm calling it.

A particle accelerator in Central City by Christmas.

I guess lightning and random lab chemicals don't cut it anymore.

Man, Stephen Amell has gotten even better since last season. "Well now they have four of them, and how is that working for them?" Chills

So something I took from this episode was that tptb have took note and have given Felicity the most prominent role next to Olliver. While I love Felicity as a character quite a bit, in a few scenes I felt like Diggle was just a big statue. I mean I think the lines could have been divided more equally between the two.

+ Upgraded Arrow cave + Justified reasoning for no killing, though I will be bummed if he never makes exceptions. + Roy looked like he has been training big time. + Thea running the club is a good direction, but I wonder why she hasn't asked about whats in the basement. + More Oliver transformation on the island.

So they already killed off a bunch of cops and maybe the mayor. Starting with a bang, definitely.

Anyone know if the particle accelerator in the news report is alluding to anything?

Hmm I wonder what that particle accelerator could mean...
