Discussion 2x16 - Suicide Squad
Episode Info: Following Slade's return and his promise to make good on his threat to destroy Oliver's loved ones, Oliver focuses all his energy on preparing for battle with his former friend. Sarah tries to help but, fearing for her safety, Oliver pushes her away. Meanwhile, Diggle is recruited by Amanda Waller and A.R.G.U.S. to stop a warlord he knew from his time in Afghanistan. Always the solider, Diggle agrees to help. However, he's not prepared when Amanda introduces him to the rest of the team - Deadshot, Bronze Tiger, and Shrapnel, all criminals he and Arrow helped put away. Lyla defends the team and explains the world is a complicated place, but Diggle isn't sure he agrees. When the mission takes a dangerous turn, Diggle is forced to make a difficult decision.

This is a very different kind of episode and I'm enjoying it. It feels more real and less CW.

Well it felt more realistic up until that point. The chip shouldn't have been that easy to remove and the strike seemed hella weak.

Maybe he will come back and be more like Sharpnel from the comics. Living with bits of metal in him ala Iron Man.

"I'm not that easy to kill." I think this is potent foreshadowing for the fate of Sarah Lance.

Is this episode on earlier than usual?
Or am I just getting confused because the US changed their clocks and we in the UK haven't yet.
