Well, there's nothing like a loving father, who only wants to make sure that his daughter is happy ... Come on, Ollie, dont't look so grumpy all the time, regarding the comments over there at SpoilerTV, there would quite some marry Nyssa without any hesitation ...

Wedding bells will soon be ringing on Arrow. Al Sah-Him (Stephen Amell) was sent to kill his opposition to the ascension of Ra’s al Ghul. But the Head of the Demon (Matt Nable) offered him something else: his daughter Nyssa’s (Katrina Law) hand in marriage. That’s right: We’re about to see the most awkward nuptials in history as Oliver marries the woman who used to date his ex, Sara (Caity Lotz). Think the event will get interrupted somehow? Executive producer Marc Guggenheim assures EW the duo really are getting hitched: “It’s both a wedding and a marriage,” he says. “The ceremony actually finishes. It does reach a conclusion.”
Hm, according to that the wedding will actually take place ... I like that ... just to tease the Olicity shippers ....

Nice try to change Ra's mind ... but obviously didn't work ...

I think the grumpy look is to show he's been brainwashed, he doesn't feel anything anymore

When "Al Sa-him" hears that it was Maseo who handed over the Alpha and Omega virus to Ra's, his surprised/shocked reaction imho clearly shows, that he is at least not fully brainwashed. He is faking it more or less and plays along to fulfil his part of the deal to save Thea and keep his friends safe and alive, but by his stubborn demands to kill and destroy Ra's himself will turn him back into full Ollie ...

That was a great episode! Oliver has just been playing Ra's the whole time. I don't think he released the Omega virus on the others, probably just some kind of knock out gas. Now that he married Nyssa he should Be Ra's right? Time to disband the league! Seriously though, the previews for next week looked awesome! This season is finishing up strong.

1) Oliver has just been playing Ra's the whole time. 2) I don't think he released the Omega virus on the others, probably just some kind of knock out gas. 3) Now that he married Nyssa he should Be Ra's right?

1) Yep, the problem is that actually it wasn't a surprise at this point anymore ... to be honest I expected it not only from when I saw that preview with "Al Sa-him's" reaction when he learns that Maseo was the one who gave Ra's the virus, but it was somehow clear from the very beginning, because who would believe that in a show called Arrow the Arrow himself just would become Ra's? The show is still well enough entertaining for me, but this whole "Ollie is the next Ra's" plot just doesn't work, because everyone always knows that it will not happen. 2) I had the same thought and I'm sure you're right. Also if they needed the virus for Starling City, why waste it on team Arrow instead of just killing them by arrows or sword? No way this was the virus! 3) No, yet he isn't Ra's/Demon, just Son of the Demon, as Ra's explained to Ollie. And he still hasn't wiped out his home town, so according to Ra's the transition can't be complete yet ... and again ... we all already know this won't happen ever! I'm curious though, if and for how long Ollie sticks to his wedding with Nyssa. After that friendly knife attack he probably will file for a divorce a soon as possible ...
What was weird a bit also, why would Maseo rather die by his wife's sword than give them both another chance. I mean sure he had a trauma connected to his son's death and kind of lost it, but his death fealt like forced just to get some dramatic death scene ... Hm, and Merlyn, his attempt to "rat out" Ollie might be part of the bigger plan between him and Ollie? This might still turn out other than expected. I'm not sure yet, if they try to redeem Merlyn to some extent or let him break really bad again ...

To be honest, I thought that Ra's character over all was portrayed convincingly enough for me so far, but seeing how easily he can be betrayed by Ollie, his character loses much of his impact and credibility as super villain ...

I think Maseo died because he didn't want to live anymore, he said living was prison for him, even after Ollie offered to release him from the league. I also think Merlyn ratting out Oliver was part of the plan, looking forward to the finale. Plus, Oliver will also be in next weeks Flash episode.
