I loved it when Oliver told Slade he was a little too convincing. I feel like that line was slightly inspired by the cast saying that sometimes it was legitimately terrifying filming with Manu because he played his part so convincingly.
This episode was amazing. I just loved the ending Slade shot walking into the mist. Great ending for him also leaving room for potential future arc. Kirk Avecedo is the actors name. Also Aaron Fringe is amazing. You would love it. Eric keep pushing it on them.
So at the end of the episode William & Felicity are playing Injustice 2 but none of them picked Green Arrow? That's disrespectful & they have failed this city.
15:19 Good you mention that, Eric, because if David Hayter for some reason won't play the role I think that Manu Bennett could make a good live-action Solid Snake.
A girl was already on the show that was given the name Ravager and Rose's outfit, so I don't think they will introduce her because of that. It sucks though.
Sean Morton or to make it sweet and kind of funny...william plays as *captain cold* and oliver as *the flash.* as a subtle call back to their first meeting in season 4 with the toys ;)
I like how the blood on Slade's face when he leaves ASIS is only on the side of his face that still has an eye. You can probably read into that and infer lots of imagery/symbolism from that. e.g. _Slade's remaining vision is being coated with blood, as though the blood is covering his very vision, distorting his judgement._ Plus, does anyone else think the drugs maker looks like Robert De Niro or Alfred Molina?
Kinda sad this was the last time we saw Slade. I really hoped he would show up for Crisis and Oliver would go down fighting with him. He could've been a Paragon of Redemption or something.
I don't think deathstroke is coming back anytime soon because of justice league and Manu Bennet being occupied with other work. It also explains the lines that deathstroke wasn't a gun for hire like his son Joe and the line saying Joe will torment olivers son. This setup Joe as being the new "deathstroke" and take the villian role deathstroke normally takes in the comics.
@ 9:39 why did that one gym scene slade had a look on his face like shado was giving him a "reach around"? then @10:15 eric had the exact same look on his face when rene came in with those *pizza's!* haha :))
I can only think of 2 reasons why "Ravenger" would be familiar. 1) pretty sure she was that season 2 villian that died. Or 2) Revenger was actually Rose Wilson's alter ego identity in the DC comics.
Did the show ever explain what happened to ollie's original hood? Thought it had special value so he always included it in his suit. But it's been gone now for a few seasons.
I don't know if you ever watched the miniseries called "Band of Brothers" Kirk Acevedo who played Ricardo Diaz (Richard Dragon) co-starred with Neal McDonough (Damien Darhk). Just letting you know.
So you guys only know Kirk Avecedo from Fringe? He was in OZ too back in the day. AND you should react to 12 Monkey's. AMAZING show. Freaking great time travel story. I hope to see a reaction of it one day.
Diggle texted Felicity to come to the bunker for a talk but she texted back that Oliver was home and to catch her up later so he's going to tell her, I doubt they will keep it from Oliver.
Sounds like the showrunners finally listened to you guys...they've mentioned the crappy security at Star Labs AND how Diggle should have asked Curtis about his arm
So have arrow decided to switch which brother is which. Cause in the comics Joe is the one who can't talk due to a throat injury but in this it seems it will be grant. weird
Manu Bennett as Dearthstroke is the best casting ever in DC universe! I so wish he would play Deathstroke in Justice League to becouse he is just PERFECT at that role!! PS: We have allready seen Deathstroke's daughter??? Wasen't Isabel Rochev his daughter or did I miss something?
This episode was better than last weeks. I really liked it (I'm one of the loudest voices of critique against Arrow since season 3). I felt like the episode was structured well. One of the best Arrow episodes of recent memory. It felt really great. It's like the writer of this episode walked in a big circle around CW tropes like outrage from friends after an other friend saying he kept a secret. I did not expect Curtis, Wild Hoss and Laurel 2.0 be so cool towards Diggle. Diggle and Lyla's talks were also a redemption from their moronic talks when Diggle suddenly was all against Lyla kidnapping and holding people, a thing he did a lot as well with Oliver. And then you got the main plotline where it really felt that Slade got his redemption and it didn't even feel super forced. It actually was done quite well. I felt for the guy and I really hope he'll comeback soon to Star City to save Oliver's ass. Here's hoping they won't Malcolm Merlyn him by making a huge joke out of him. Keep him a shadowy figure. Or a foggy one. Will this episode win awards? Of course not. Was it a Breaking Bad Sopranos masterpiece? Of course not. But it was a pretty perfect Arrow episode. Or maybe my expectations have become so low with this show that I'm easily impressed now? I only have some minor gripes with this episode and 1 huge one, but the positives outweigh this huge one. It was that weirdly timed Felicity happy ending joke. That joke had no place in that scene or in this episode. It was in poor taste. Don't get me wrong. I don't mind dirty jokes, but this one didn't fit the tone of the episode at all.
Its funny watching Deathstroke speak with his normal New Zealand accent that is no where near Australian, im a kiwi (New Zealander) and our 2 accents are very different yet they allow Deathstroke to speak in a New Zealand accent fooling everyone other than the kiwi's and Aussie's
Ranking of this week's episodes: 1. Legends of Tomorrow 2. The Flash 3. Arrow 4. Supergirl What about everyone else? All the shows were all spectacular this week and it was hard for me to figure out the order.
Her partner is played by a diiff actor from what we seen last season thats why no one recognised him when his face was revealed lol Scott from Scotland
It would've been cooler if they were playing Injustice as Arrow and Flash because that could imply that not only do Oliver and Barry have their own action figures, but they have their own video game characters. Of course, that would also imply they are getting royally screwed out of royalties.
Apparently the people who were writing arrow s3 and 4 are writing flash now and the people who were writing the flash are writing arrow now..... that explains a lot
Kamyus GS true...but i'm more interested to see *how* they pull it off. when he reclaims the hood it must be nothing less than *epic* after all this buildup! and there best be a damn good reason for breaking that promise to his son...
Yeah idk but it must be soon because I can't imagine the crossover without Oliver as Green Arrow. As for his son, after the first ep I was really excited because for once we had the opportunity to see a superheroe with a kid (which is quite rare) but they directly shutdown that possibility by making him leaving the costume. For now it's a meh season to me, so wait and see. ^^ Also where the hell is Thea? that coma thing is really long!
This has absolutely nothing to do with this episode, but has anyone else seen the promotional photos for the crossover episodes? *SPOILERS below for people who don't want to know. . . .* Reverse Flash, evil Green Arrow, evil Supergirl. All of them in their super suits. Citizen Cold, it's great to see Snart back again since I heard he is leaving the shows. Not to mention pretty much all of the characters meeting up.
The only reason I don't like Diggle as Green Arrow is because when Oliver comes back the dynamic of the team is gonna be different. Diggle might not give up the mantle willingly and their might be tension between them episode 10 is titled Divided which the team might be split up into two groups John's side and Oliver's side i hope that I'm wrong but all in all I will enjoy the drama I guess. :)
You are partly right. Episode 10 is called "Divided" and episode 11 is called "We fall". But according to a recent interview done by Stephen Amell, the division is between OTA (Original Team Arrow) and the newbies! But he didn't mention what it was about.
I think the writers of the show should’ve given the villain Ricardo Diaz a more badass introduction. I mean I’m pretty sure he is supposed to be the main villain of this season other than cayden James and black siren and I thought the way they introduced him was weak. I wanted to see him fight team arrow because he is supposedly supposed to be this great fighter
As a person who has only watched season 1, 4 ,5 and 6, I found this kinda boring. I guess I just wasn't interested in the story and the "OMG IT'S DEATHSTROKE" factor isn't enough to get me interested.
LOL OK, not as bad as Season 4 of course! But just not very impressive. For all the build up they actually made Slade a little tedious here. On the B plot, "The Dragon" was pretty underwhelming, especially if he's supposed to be anything like the Ricardo Diaz from the comics (he hasn't displayed similarities thus far). I did like Diggle and Lyla's scenes, and especially Curtis pointing out that yeah, he cured paralysis, I'd think it's at least be worth the effort to as his opinion.
Kent Miller is the reason slade came off as boring because you think he works better as the "bad guy?" if so, i agree... ;) slade always works best as the badass obessed villain! *let me clarify, even tho i enjoy slade more as a villain he was still great in both episodes*
Slade: "He's gone."
Eric: "You could chase after him."
Literally what Barry could do every episode lol
Sean Morton when slade said "he's gone" i thought he meant the son he once knew...as in "he's kane now"
lol
I loved it when Oliver told Slade he was a little too convincing. I feel like that line was slightly inspired by the cast saying that sometimes it was legitimately terrifying filming with Manu because he played his part so convincingly.
This episode was amazing. I just loved the ending Slade shot walking into the mist. Great ending for him also leaving room for potential future arc.
Kirk Avecedo is the actors name. Also Aaron Fringe is amazing. You would love it. Eric keep pushing it on them.
Did nobody noice the Oliver tripped when he and Slade were jumping out that window?
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that
I Did. Lol
I did
Finally someone else , that shit was hilarious
Yeah I noticed and it bothered me a little😂😂
So at the end of the episode William & Felicity are playing Injustice 2 but none of them picked Green Arrow?
That's disrespectful & they have failed this city.
It was. Will was playing as Blue Beetle and Felicity was playing as Sub-Zero. Both are playable characters in Injustice 2
Yes it was
Felix De La Cruz i'm kinda hoping it was foreshadowing to them introducing blue beetle at some point this season :)
@@joeg6478 welp
@@StupidWeb - exactly 💀
not sure if you noticed but the game william was playing with smoke was injustice 2. the match was sub zero vs blue beetle.
The Red Blur wasn't in the reaction just the episode. It's the part where Oliver comes back home to find will and falicity playing a game
None of them even picked Green Arrow. They have failed this city.
It was a missed opportunity. They could have played as Green Arrow and Black Canary lmao.
We Watched Some Stuff would that have been too "meta" for this show, do you think? but full disclosure, i thought the same thing at first too..ha! :)
15:19 Good you mention that, Eric, because if David Hayter for some reason won't play the role I think that Manu Bennett could make a good live-action Solid Snake.
Deathstroke WAS a gun for hire in this universe too! They mentioned it in S2, that he was a mercenary with killings all across Europe.
With the mention of Grant, I hope they introduce Rose at some point.
Mike she died in season 2
John Wheeler That wasn't Rose.
A girl was already on the show that was given the name Ravager and Rose's outfit, so I don't think they will introduce her because of that. It sucks though.
I hope next episode William plays as Green Arrow and Oliver as Batman just to screw with us. #injustice2
Sean Morton or to make it sweet and kind of funny...william plays as *captain cold* and oliver as *the flash.* as a subtle call back to their first meeting in season 4 with the toys ;)
I like how the blood on Slade's face when he leaves ASIS is only on the side of his face that still has an eye.

Ravager might sound familiar cause in season 2 of Arrow, Isabel Rochev called herself Ravager and wore the costume when she was helping Slade
Anyone else notice the Stunt double or Stephen totally fuck up at 12:21
Yup and it is hilarious! As soon as I saw that I imagined Oliver being like "BADASS JUM- OW! THAT WAS NOT AS COOL AS I IMAGINED IT WOULD BE"! XD
Man I love that green light so much
The Dragon guy was also in shield season 2
And in the walking dead, on top of the tank with the governor
Kinda sad this was the last time we saw Slade. I really hoped he would show up for Crisis and Oliver would go down fighting with him. He could've been a Paragon of Redemption or something.
We need a Deathstroke spinoff after seeing this.
Adrian Chase has a twin brother, Dorian, in the comics... both are vigilante at one time or another. Prometheus is an unrelated character...
who else absolutely loves eric's deadpool deathstroke shirt he's wearing
I feel like William has a crush on Felicity
Welp
Don't think so
No he doesn't
I don't think deathstroke is coming back anytime soon because of justice league and Manu Bennet being occupied with other work. It also explains the lines that deathstroke wasn't a gun for hire like his son Joe and the line saying Joe will torment olivers son. This setup Joe as being the new "deathstroke" and take the villian role deathstroke normally takes in the comics.
I knew I've seen the dragon guy before. When Eric mentioned dawn of the planet of the apes I remembered.
@ 9:39 why did that one gym scene slade had a look on his face like shado was giving him a "reach around"? then @10:15 eric had the exact same look on his face when rene came in with those *pizza's!* haha :))
I loved the moment when Deathstroke took a step back after seeing his son kill I could feel the emotion from behind the mask so beautiful
I can only think of 2 reasons why "Ravenger" would be familiar. 1) pretty sure she was that season 2 villian that died. Or 2) Revenger was actually Rose Wilson's alter ego identity in the DC comics.
Can’t wait for the reaction from the 11/23 episode of Arrow. Keep up the great work Blind Wave!
his comic name is richard dragon
Blind Wave, I agree with the guy in the pole. I wanted it to be the real Adrian Chase and The Prometheus was a fake Adrian Chase.
Did the show ever explain what happened to ollie's original hood? Thought it had special value so he always included it in his suit. But it's been gone now for a few seasons.
shadowecho02 didn't the SCPD keep it when they arrested Roy as the Arrow ?
ahh might be it. but you'd think lance/dinah would have gotten it back by now. unless I guess he just doesn't care about it anymore
Arrow greatness
loved this episode. like the whole of this season of arrow
FYI, Subzero is in Injustice 2. They were playing Injustice 2 100%.
I have been waiting for this. Epicccc episode!!!
Dragon, Dinah, and Lyla were all apart of thr governors group in The Walking Dead season 4 lol
So I can’t wait to see Aaron get slapped in the face next week
I don't know if you ever watched the miniseries called "Band of Brothers" Kirk Acevedo who played Ricardo Diaz (Richard Dragon) co-starred with Neal McDonough (Damien Darhk). Just letting you know.
Yuss this episode was soo Fking goood
So you guys only know Kirk Avecedo from Fringe? He was in OZ too back in the day. AND you should react to 12 Monkey's. AMAZING show. Freaking great time travel story.
I hope to see a reaction of it one day.
he was in Band of Brothers. Is Amaxing too.
Diggle texted Felicity to come to the bunker for a talk but she texted back that Oliver was home and to catch her up later so he's going to tell her, I doubt they will keep it from Oliver.
When Slade walked into the smoke did anybody else see "Deathstroke" holding a sword??
Sounds like the showrunners finally listened to you guys...they've mentioned the crappy security at Star Labs AND how Diggle should have asked Curtis about his arm
So have arrow decided to switch which brother is which. Cause in the comics Joe is the one who can't talk due to a throat injury but in this it seems it will be grant. weird
The WerewolfF Grant was in LoT and he could talk... So they didn't change it. Joe will most likely come back as Jericho in the future
That was a potential future and let's not forget Flashpoint. Flashpoint could of change Joe's and Grant's life.
Slade The Deathstroke Righto still wondering why he thinks it might get switched lol
Kaneki Ken he thinks it will be switched because joe said he cut grant's throat because he wanted to be like slade
Ah that makes sense
Manu Bennett as Dearthstroke is the best casting ever in DC universe! I so wish he would play Deathstroke in Justice League to becouse he is just PERFECT at that role!!
PS: We have allready seen Deathstroke's daughter??? Wasen't Isabel Rochev his daughter or did I miss something?
dragon was also in band of brothers as joe toye
So was Damien Darhk.
Dragons voice is so damn cool
Chloe Sullivan is currently in a real life cult Eric.
This episode was better than last weeks. I really liked it (I'm one of the loudest voices of critique against Arrow since season 3).

Erik's shirt is golden!!!! Anyone can find a purchase link?
"I have a brother his name is Grant.......Gustin" NANI?!
So with Kirk Acevedo in Arrow and John Noble in Legends are we getting Anna Torv in Flash? Also Aaron should watch Fringe, it's so good
God...how i love deathstroke's theme!! ;))
Its funny watching Deathstroke speak with his normal New Zealand accent that is no where near Australian, im a kiwi (New Zealander) and our 2 accents are very different yet they allow Deathstroke to speak in a New Zealand accent fooling everyone other than the kiwi's and Aussie's
Woooooo been waiting all day for this
Eric's shirt knows what's up :)
Am I the only one who though of GTA Vice City when they namedropped Ricardo Diaz?
Ranking of this week's episodes:
1. Legends of Tomorrow
2. The Flash
3. Arrow
4. Supergirl
What about everyone else? All the shows were all spectacular this week and it was hard for me to figure out the order.
Flash needs to pick it up, because the past two episodes haven't been doing it for me.
I kept thinking Eric had a tattoo of a bow on his right arm
Anthony Fonseca Me too! Was thinking “hmmm Eric suddenly decided to declare his love for Arrow with ink.” It’s a nice design btw.
Daisy put dragons ass in a coma on Shield. At the cabin
THE RETURN OF THE SLAP BET!!
Watched all of punisher and fml so fkin good can’t wait for reactions
The Dreadfort
Is it good ? Idk if i should watch it or not ?
Jordy Vonck It's not that good if you binge watch it,then it will only get repetitive. Watch one or two episodes a day,trust me that's the best way.
Her partner is played by a diiff actor from what we seen last season thats why no one recognised him when his face was revealed lol Scott from Scotland
It would've been cooler if they were playing Injustice as Arrow and Flash because that could imply that not only do Oliver and Barry have their own action figures, but they have their own video game characters. Of course, that would also imply they are getting royally screwed out of royalties.
oliver must be back in the mask next week, as the crossover is the following week
I'VE BEEN WAITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Richard dragon is amazing
Supergirl would have this dragon guy hanging by his balls from a flagpole in under a second
Thats why each hero show gets suiting villains ^^ Oliver would fuck Cicada up no problem for example cause he doesnt rely on superpowers.
Stop it! He was Joe Toye in Band of Brothers :)
So we all gonna just ignore the fact that everyone made it off Lian Yu with no explanation?
The punisher series is out!!!
Apparently the people who were writing arrow s3 and 4 are writing flash now and the people who were writing the flash are writing arrow now..... that explains a lot
the writers haven't changed brother. it's just a rumour
Peter chetan oh ok
When's the first punisher ?🤷🏻♂️😭
before Flashpoint Richard Dragon was a Superhero then New 52 happened.....
I thought palmer tech was gone
I want the Green Arrow back, the real one! That Diggle interlude has gone for too long...
Kamyus GS true...but i'm more interested to see *how* they pull it off. when he reclaims the hood it must be nothing less than *epic* after all this buildup! and there best be a damn good reason for breaking that promise to his son...
Yeah idk but it must be soon because I can't imagine the crossover without Oliver as Green Arrow.

For now it's a meh season to me, so wait and see. ^^
Also where the hell is Thea? that coma thing is really long!
Kamyus GS how did they shut it down, he'll *still* have a kid when he returns to being green arrow
Well obviously I'm talking about what we have seen so far, I can't know for the future episodes. ^^
Kamyus GS exactly my point. until we see more we can't know what *possibilities* have been, as you say, *shutdown* or not...
This has absolutely nothing to do with this episode, but has anyone else seen the promotional photos for the crossover episodes? *SPOILERS below for people who don't want to know. . . .*
Reverse Flash, evil Green Arrow, evil Supergirl. All of them in their super suits. Citizen Cold, it's great to see Snart back again since I heard he is leaving the shows. Not to mention pretty much all of the characters meeting up.

Did you guys see stephen on ring of honor try you tubing roh stephen amell
Chloe Sullivan got into some cult stuff so she probably wont be coming to any cw shows.
Madison Carr I read an article about that and it absolutely blew my mind. It's some crazy stuff. I couldn't believe it. I loved Chloe/Allison mack.
Brandi H ikr! so hard to believe it actually sounds made up! like some cheesy tv movie...smh
Yeah. All recent photos of her have her looking dead inside. Her life didn't just fall off a cliff, it hit every rock on the way down
Was that from any legitimate news source? Or was this tabloid sites like I have seen?
BarrikadeJT I saw some clips from legitimate tv news sites
they should have had death stroke in the crossover
I want curtis to cug diigle hand and give him new arm wintersoldier or arsenal type arm
Big Boss
I think the writers of the show should’ve given the villain Ricardo Diaz a more badass introduction. I mean I’m pretty sure he is supposed to be the main villain of this season other than cayden James and black siren and I thought the way they introduced him was weak. I wanted to see him fight team arrow because he is supposedly supposed to be this great fighter
Or Dorian Chase
Video starts at 6:05
We better see Grant Wilson
Great episode except for the window jump, that was a big fail.
I LOVE YOU GUYS BUT YOU SKIPPED THE OLICITY WILLIAM SCENE AKSKFJS THAT'S SO UNFAIR
Ravenger was in earler season of arrow she never lasted very long
Debería preocuparme que a los fans se les ocurra mejores historias que a los escritores de la serie?... irónico
The reason no one recognised him is because they changed the actor
Wheres arrow 6x7 reaction?
What kind of nuts are in Rocky Road?? Felicity might just have a specific allergy to a single type of nuts.
She's allergic to peanuts and typically there are walnuts in Rocky road. If I'm remembering correctly.
Nah, fringe is really good. Aaron whose name is pronounced like Eren for some reason.
Blind Wave. BTW, WHERE THE HELL IS THEA!!!!
legowolfe75 *sighs* ...coma smh
I hated when they killed dead shot
I hate to say this but..... Eric is gonna get slapped I bet it
As a person who has only watched season 1, 4 ,5 and 6, I found this kinda boring. I guess I just wasn't interested in the story and the "OMG IT'S DEATHSTROKE" factor isn't enough to get me interested.
Overall I've like the season, but this one was pretty boring - still great reaction vid though!
LOL OK, not as bad as Season 4 of course! But just not very impressive. For all the build up they actually made Slade a little tedious here. On the B plot, "The Dragon" was pretty underwhelming, especially if he's supposed to be anything like the Ricardo Diaz from the comics (he hasn't displayed similarities thus far).
I did like Diggle and Lyla's scenes, and especially Curtis pointing out that yeah, he cured paralysis, I'd think it's at least be worth the effort to as his opinion.
This episode was far from boring
you my friend have some bad taste lol this episode is definitely he best one so far this season all been good though
Oh well
Kent Miller is the reason slade came off as boring because you think he works better as the "bad guy?" if so, i agree... ;) slade always works best as the badass obessed villain! *let me clarify, even tho i enjoy slade more as a villain he was still great in both episodes*
