Ivo in the comics has always been a vindictive whiny little poo poo. This portrayal is right on the money though he needs more scales...

It's good that Laurel was finally a relevant character. But she still got kidnapped, again.

Regarding Slade's decision to punish Blood at the end: I thought it was because he deliberately confronted the Arrow after Slade explicitly told him not to. It was the last 'DO NOT gently caress WITH MY ORDERS' show of force.

Let's not forget that Slade is loving crazy mirakuru style.

One of the things that makes this show so good is just how outstanding the action setpieces are. When you involve superhuman feats in live action, sometimes it's really easy to tell where the wires are. Someone will be thrown or knocked around and they won't go fast enough to justify how far they went, and your brain noticed that. When Roy was beating up that dude, it really looked like he was getting hit full force. They did the same thing with the Arrow/Gold fight in the warehouse. They really sell just how powerful these Miracuru dudes are.

The 'blood' hitting the car window 1/2 second before the body hit was kinda bad, but otherwise a good scene.

Love that Ollie's solution to every problem is shooting it with an arrow. Locked hatch? Arrow it. Also "WHAT COLOR. ARE YOUR SHOES." was an outstanding and hilarious delivery by Amell. I'm starting to get worried that they are criminally under utilizing Digs. I know they had a big Diggle ep a while ago with the Russia stuff, but he needs to be more integrated and stop just being the dude that says "Oliver, wait".

I'm pretty sure that the showrunner's have said that there will indeed be more Diggle-centric episodes coming up, but I would like to see him more integrated into Oliver's escapades, actively working as his backup. This show seems to laser focus really hard, which is enjoyable but ends up leaving certain crucial characters underdeveloped, like Laurel until recently and now Diggle.

More reasons that Stephen Amell is the best TV starquote:On the one hand, it's been a pretty tough morning for the Bieb's. On the other hand, someone convinced me to attempt a juice cleanse, SO IT'S BEEN A PRETTY TOUGH MORNING FOR ME TOO!

By the way, I think it's gonna be Laurel that gets back on Blood's trail, because why else have Ollie decide he's not going to listen to Laurel's poo poo any more. He's going to have to be convinced. Part of the reason that Laurel's stuff was better this episode is that they are directly involving her with the Arrow. All the good plotlines come from direct Arrow, rather than Ollie, involvement. This is why I think it would be a good idea to let her in on the secret and get her on Team Arrow, it allows those kinds of plotlines to develop, rather than sticking her off in her own deal which no one cares about. I'd also like to give a shout out to Kevin Alejandro as Brother Blood. I really liked him in True Blood and he's doing a great job as in Arrow as well. I thought he was very menacing in the opening scene.

There is a lot more to Sebastian than I was expecting. He's definitely  , but there's depth and texture to his evil. I am interested in learning more about him and his obviously hosed-up past.

Well, they'll have a bit more money for the pilot of The Flash, and spending it on stuff like potential standing sets, or effects gear that'll be used every week if the show's picked up isn't a bad idea.

I guess we don't know if Miracuru is permanent or not? Seems kind of odd that they would make Roy superpowered, since that could make it easier for him to outshine Ollie. I could see it wearing off at some point. This assumes that Slade has a regular supply of course.

As written on the page, there really isn't much to Sebastian Blood. Lots of clunky lines that indulge in Arrow's worst habit - character's announcing what they're feeling without a hint of restraint. But drat, Alejandro has really been selling it.
