^ 6 reasons stated above, yet in 4 of 6 of them, Shado was mentioned. Shado was a minor character, and many DS fans myself included were upset that Slade was portrayed as a lovesick puppy dog. And, you're overlooking a major factor -- HIVE... its no misfact that Deathstroke has been affiliated with them and against them in the comics. I believe Deathstroke will play a role in the Season 4 HIVE plot IF they find a way out of the RUBBLE that is his attachment to Shado and all encompassing side effects (his love grudge against Oliver). IF you refer back to my 1st post up top, I believe this is the only course. HIVE is like the League, but more technologically advanced. They have the recources to storm Lianyu and take what they want. Fans wonder "what ever happened to Slade?" "Oh hes still in prison in Lianyu"  "Oh right... still?" Its stupid to keep him there.
