SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so I just want to simply talk about what I thought of this episode as there were good bits and bad bits.

Pros:

Brilliant action sequences as always (I honestly thought Oliver killed those guys at the start).

Black Siren was great.

We got to see Oliver as a father.

Wild Dog and Black Canary got fantastic new suits.

Good setup for the next episode and the season as a whole.

Felicity wasn't annoying in this episode.

The Quentin and Black Siren Twist was fantastic.

More Slade scenes.

Cons:

The Island Flashbacks were done pretty badly, they were in short cuts way too often and the acting wasn't done very well besides the Quentin one.

Thea's fate is still to be determined. I thought this was stupid because Malcolm sacrificed himself to save her and so it now seems all for nothing. If Thea is dead then I am 100% convinced that Malcolm is alive and will come back as an enemy.

Olicity is clearly coming back.

Verdict:

Ok so I wasn't as disappointed with this episode as I thought I was going to be, beyond the whole Olicity bullshit and Thea maybe dying, I am quite happy with how this episode went. As far as Olicity goes, there is nothing we can do anymore the producers are clearly bringing it back so I am going to simply state this, if they keep Felicity as nice in this episode, don't make Olicity too unbearable and don't make it too much of a focus then I am going to bite the bullet and accept them as a couple. They have until the end of this Season to convince me to go along with it.

7.5/10
