Episode 2.15 The Promise March 5, 2014 Recap and review
Episode 2.15 The Promise March 5, 2014
Preview below
This is was a no punches pulled action pack episode. Slade Wilson is revealed and we get a lot of cool footage from the island. Death Stroke is born!!! Interesting character. While usually out for the money, this passionate Slade Wilson is out for justice, no matter how warped. And Death Stroke was a tough foe in the comics w/o super strength. This is the closest thing to a superman we have seen in this series yet. Going to take a lot from Oliver and the team to take him down. Great moment when the empowered Roy Harper shakes Slade's hand. Nice grip you have there (Paraphrasing)
So Ivo is still alive. Now handless, will he finally turn towards robotics. But as the ship is already called Amazo maybe that will never arrive in this time line of events. Amazo the robot that can mimic every hero has always seemed a stretch.

Episode 2.14 Time of Death February 26, 2014
Episode 2.14 Time of Death February 26, 2014 - I have always loved the Clock King and all similar characters. But this may be the most sympathetic version to date. The criminal master mind is willing to kill to save his sister. The whole "I am just a genius" jealousy thing from Felicity is a bit heavy and over done. But does add some fun levels to the team of good guys. Looking forward to some major Death Stroke action now that Slade Wilson is out in the public...
Summary via WIKI
William Tockman orchestrates a precisely timed heist of Kord Industries and steals an electronic device that will allow him to access any bank vault in the world. His work comes to the attention of Oliver and Sara, who work together to try and stop him, foiling one of his robberies. In response, Tockman uses the device to hack into the computer servers at Oliver's hideout and overload them so they explode. Felicity, feeling left out with Sara now part of the team, attempts to bait Tockman into coming after one last heist. Oliver, Sara, and Diggle arrive in time to protect Felicity, but Felicity takes a bullet while saving Sara before stopping Tockman. Meanwhile, the Lances attempt to have dinner together and it is revealed that Sara and Oliver are in a relationship, much to the anger of Laurel. Later, Laurel reveals the reason for her anger to Sara and they make amends; afterward, Laurel attends an A.A. meeting with Quentin. Slade makes his presence known to Oliver by coming to his home and meeting with Moira. In flashbacks, it is revealed that Sara befriended Sin after promising her dying father, a pilot shot down while flying over the island, that she would make sure Sin was safe.
The Clock King is the name of two fictional characters, both of whom are supervillains published by DC Comics. The first, created by Bill Finger, appeared in Star Spangled Comics #70 (July 1947) and fought Robin. The second Clock King was a villain and enemy of Green Arrow, and debuted in World's Finest Comics #111 (August 1960), and was created by France Herron and Lee Elias.

Episode 2.11 Blind Spot" January 22, 2014
WIKI SUMMARY
Sebastian Blood visits his mother in the sanitarium and learns that she told Laurel that he killed his father. Oliver continues his search for the man in the skull mask, and receives help from Laurel, who suspects that it is Sebastian Blood. Oliver investigates Sebastian, who, fearing that he will be discovered, has Laurel arrested for narcotic possession by his disciple, Officer Daily. Afterward, he has her kidnapped to lure Arrow out. Arrow comes to rescue her, but during a fight Laurel kills the man in the skull mask, who is revealed to be Officer Daily, unknowingly throwing suspicion off Blood. Laurel is cleared of wrongdoing, but is fired when her opiate addiction is brought to light. Meanwhile, Roy and Sin attempt to use his new powers to stop a murderer, but Roy goes overboard and puts the man in the hospital. In order to help, Arrow offers to train Roy to control his new powers as well as his change in mental state. In flashbacks, Sara considers an offer from Ivo to return the Mirakuru for safe passage off the island; after remembering Ivo's torture of the ship prisoners, she declines.
Boy, Sebastian may have been acting like the good guy till now, but he reaches new lows. Turns out he killed his father and by the end of this episode completes the job on mom. CREEPY!!! Laurel too often is like the dumb Lois Lane. always getting into trouble and needing saving but seems much more helpless. Is this Laurel really supposed to become Black Canary. better let lil' sis handle the super hero work. Roy is getting pretty bad ass. Are we skipping Red and going straight to arsenal. Never seen a show work so hard to avoid classic labels. At least he avoided being called Speedy.

Episode 1.17 The Huntress Returns March 20, 2013 -
WIKI SUMMARY
Helena returns to Starling City to kill her father after she learns that he plans to make a deal with the F.B.I. for a pardon on his sentence and witness protection. Helena asks Oliver for help, but when he refuses she attacks Tommy to force his assistance. The pair go after a set of armored trucks, but Helena is captured by the police when it is revealed to have been a trap. Oliver breaks her out of police custody to protect his secret and demands that she leave Starling City. Instead, Helena forces Felicity to find her father's location. Oliver discovers the truth and manages to stop Helena from killing her father, but when McKenna arrives, Helena shoots her and escapes. In the hospital, McKenna reveals to Oliver that she plans to move to Coast City for her rehab, effectively ending their relationship. Meanwhile, Tommy struggles with his knowledge of Oliver's secret, which in turn affects his relationship with Laurel. Dinah presents her evidence of Sara's existence to her ex-husband and Laurel. In a flashback to the island, Oliver and Slade steal a circuit board to a missile launcher from Fyers and attempt to leverage it as a means to get off the island.
Episode 10 Burned
This is the classic, "My hero activities have gotten people hurt". BUT THEN "More people get hurt if I don't put the suit on" Spoken by every hero at some point in the comics in way or another.
Interesting take on Firefly. this DC character has shown up many places over the years. But this was one of the few characters I hated in the Batman Animated series. At some point they played the "FLY" aspect way too much in the voice. The other was just thuggish.
IMDB SUMMARY - Oliver's confidence is shaken after being beaten by the Dark Archer and he takes a break from being Arrow. However, when Laurel calls Arrow for help investigating a firefighter's suspicious death, he reluctantly agrees but his hesitance while fighting almost costs him his life. Meanwhile, Tommy throws a benefit for the firefighters and Thea tries to lift Moira out of her depressive state.
WIKI SUMMARY
Six weeks after his fight with the mysterious archer, Oliver avoids any activities as his vigilante alter-ego, despite insistence from Diggle that the city needs him. When a firefighter is killed in the line of duty, Laurel suspects that he was murdered and steals the phone the vigilante gave her father in order to contact him for help. Tracking down the suspect, Oliver is bested during the confrontation, but discovers that the murderer is a firefighter. Oliver confesses to Diggle that he has lost his edge, as he now has people he worries about losing should anything happen to him, something he did not have to fear when he first returned from the island. Diggle challenges Oliver that having people to live for is more of an edge than having no one. Oliver learns that the murderer is Garfield Lynns, a firefighter thought to have died in a massive fire several years prior, but who survived with severe burns over his entire body. Garfield shows up at a charity gala for the firefighters intent on getting revenge against the fire chief for not sending backup in the night of his injury. Although Oliver saves the chief, Garfield commits suicide by burning himself. Detective Lance discovers Laurel's deception and plants a listening device on the phone to monitor her communications with the vigilante.
Episode 12 Vertigo January 30, 2013
Once again Arrow reinvents the wheel - in other words another DC Character is presented completely different than we have ever seen. This time, not so bad. In general I like the way they have created new bad guy characters based on classic but reinvented for today's world. This time "THE COUNT" is not a politician or super villain with dizzying sounds waves etc, but a drug dealer selling VERTIGO.
Watch a classic depiction of Count Vertigo in the DC Animated short film CLICK HERE
WIKI SUMMARY
At her arraignment, Thea attempts to enter into a plea bargain with the district attorney, but determined to set an example for the Vertigo drug dealers, the judge dismisses the plea and orders the charges brought to trial. In an attempt to help Thea, Oliver begins working on tracking down the supplier; he eventually discovers that the supplier goes by "The Count", and he arranges a meeting through his contacts with the Russian mob. The meeting is broken up by the police, and the Count injects Oliver with a concentrated dose of Vertigo when the latter attempts to follow him. While overdosing, Oliver has flashbacks to the island, and Yao Fei pretending to kill him in front of Fyers so that he can help Oliver to escape captivity. Diggle takes Oliver back to his hideout and uses medicinal herbs Oliver brought back with him from the island to fight the drug overdose. Afterward, Oliver has the drug analyzed and uses the ingredients to track the location of the Count. As the vigilante, Oliver is able to confront the Count and inject him with his own drug just as the police arrive as well. Laurel persuades her father to pull some strings and get Thea 2 years of probation and 500 hours of community service, which she begins serving at Laurel's legal office. Additionally, Felicity shows Oliver the list of names that Walter discovered, and informs him that they came from his mother.
IMDB SUMMARY
Thea is about to go to trial for being under the influence but she doesn't care because she is convinced that her mother was unfaithful to her father. Oliver tries to tell her the truth and he decides to go after who is behind the drug that she was on called Vertigo. So he tracks down one of the dealers and gets him to say who is the one behind it and he gets the name The Count. He eventually goes after him but the Count gives him some Vertigo which nearly kills him.
Episode 9 Year's End
I love how this show brings in the DC universe in depth through the flashbacks. Tao Fei captured by Edward Fyers. Adam Hunt survived the Hood, only to be killed now by his doppelganger (Watch out Vampire Diaries). Detective Lance is nobody's fool and right away figures out the different MO. The action sequences of the Archer v Archer battle is awesome. For those that don't know previously we all know now that Merlyn is the Dark Archer. (If you have not seen it yet, watch this ANIMATED SHORT from DCUA with cool Archer Dual).
WIKI SUMMARY
Adam Hunt is killed by a mysterious archer; Detective Lance deduces that a copycat is at work, but his superior publicly blames the hooded vigilante. Oliver plans a Christmas party at the mansion to bring back the spirit of the holidays to his family, to which Tommy invites Laurel. A flashback shows Yao Fei's capture of Edward Fyers, who tells Oliver that the island was a prison for dangerous criminals and that his unit was tasked to exterminate the prisoners, including Yao Fei. Yao Fei is captured by Fyers's men while leading Oliver to a possible escape from the island. In the present, Oliver saves some hostages from the mysterious archer, and the two archers are injured after fighting. The mysterious archer gets away but is revealed to be Malcolm Merlyn, Tommy's father. Walter is kidnapped by one of Malcolm's associates to ensure that Moira will not interfere with Malcolm's organization's plans for the city. While recovering in the hospital, Oliver swears to take down the man he believes is behind the archer.
IMDB SUMMARY
Oliver Queen attempts to track down a mysterious copycat vigilante who is killing people on the list.

On Arrow, Bronze Tiger has been all Villain, but with recent sitings of Amanda Waller, you know his duties of serving the government are close at hand. "More of a squad" says Waller as she looks to recruit for what we can assume will be the SUICIDE SQUAD.
