Based on the fact Deathstroke heals very quickly from seemingly fatal wounds, one would wonder if decapitating him (or somehow exploding his head) would be the only possible way to kill him permanently. Even so, he is trained to the extent that delivering that kind of strike (pun intended) would be extremely difficult, if not impossible.

On another note, I would be surprised if Oliver actually killed Slade. The character has become such an iconic figure in the show that even for being a villain now, killing him off would, in a way, take some fun out of the show. Anyway, regardless of how the story unravels, I am totally eager for the remaining upcoming episodes of Season 2.
