yeah it doesnt make a lot of sense, him blaming ollie, he should blame maybe the guy who shot her??
he was the one who caused all the crap.
I dont see sean in the promos ! guess he wasnt important enough for that?

He was in the producer's preview video, above ...

Saw the ep tonight, it was ok, man laurel is on drugs or has become a anorexic sp?
her face has no meat on it, and I noticed she has lost weight in her body too.
Shame she was nice looking last year, but now is starting to look a little freaky!!!!!!!!!!!!
They need to get her some help. or write her off.

They do explain why slade turned against ollie and it makes sense.

will post more later

So lets see if I can remember what happened,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Ok Roy is just now finding out he has super powers, he can heal quick, and take hits and is strong.
It is all a big surprise to him and willa has seen these things happen.

**
OT last week on NCIS ollies mom was guest star as Gibbs ex GF from the past, she is also a big wig of some sort. I dont know if she will be recurring but I think she will be. Usually when they intro someone like that, they recur during that season.
i have never liked any of his ex's, but she was ok.
**
Ok laurel is investigating Mr blood, is that his name?? and he is a poiltician?? LOL
Ollie trusts him, but she has suspicions.

The mirecu drug can affect the mind too and this is what distorted slade into believing ollie destroyed his life by killing shado.
Ollie wanted to tell slade, but katy stopped him and told him abut it affects the mind too , so not a good idea.
But knowing ollie he will tell him at some point.
So bottom line the slade we knew is gone, and the new slade is a creation of the miracu drug.

No summer, no business, Ollie and felicity fight and make up.

Now for some maybe bad news, they have felicity visiting barry in central city, the home of the flash, so when they start that series I think felicity will be in it. At the very least to help promote the show, get her fans to watch it.
But if the show is a hit, she may be offered a better paying role on that show.
This is just speculation on my part.
Or she may just recur on that show for few eps a season.
but they have definitely tied her into that show, by having her and barry like each other , and her going to visit him.

Sean M. was ok , his role was minimized so much, it was almost silly.
I still think they have too much going on at the same time so they cannot give time to hardly anything, to do it properly.

1) Something seems to be wrong with that actress. Last season I just thought she might have had a bit too much of botox, but now she really looks kind of worrisome. And I don't think she just did that to fill her role as potential medication- or even drug-dependent.

2) Even with the "explanation" by the Mirakuru (or whatever it is called exactly) it doesn't make sense to me.
This still is just a means to turn Slade into that comic monster as an enemy for Olli. And I still don't like it.
Slade's whole story so fare is just wasted and the character ruined ... and all that only to stick to the comics?? Seriously?
Now he's just another one of those mad disposable villains of Arrow. Maybe that's the comic book style ...
But hey, there's still Felicity!!

1) The show now is leaving the path of "realism" and goes into this super power direction. I'm not that happy about it. But hopefully they keep it on a "low level" ...

2) She already found out that "Blood" murdered his father and put his own mother (the only eye-witness) into a bughouse. So she will be in danger and Ollie might have to rescue her, thus revealing Blood's true character and motivations.

3) See my previous post.

4) I think there won't be much room for more Summer, as you said, too much is going on at the same time. But to be honest I never expected more than a short guest role, so I cannot be disappointed in this case.
But Felicity ticking off on Ollie was good to see.    
And I don't worry that Felicity will leave for the Flash spin-off. After all I read there won't be much of a cross-over, even given that it might turn out nearly as a success like Arrow, which isn't sure at all.

5) Hm, and I thought I read about a recurring role for him ... but ok, except Malcom Merlyn, Arrow's villains are always just some disposable, crazy nut-heats, so what should we have expected here anyways.
Still always nice to see somebody of the legendary Firefly cast!!

Well I dont know about the recent arrow comics or if they are following those.
I would have to think they intended to do this with slade all along.
I think with us it is worse cause we liked him on spartacus??
The other option would be to just kill him off like shado.
The funny thing is they kill shado and corrupt slade, who we and others had grown to like, and then
they bring in caty out of the blue, say she is alive , and is unlikable on the island, and she is the one they have survive and show up in present as a ally.

Now if I was show runner , I think I would have tried to have both shado and slade survive the island and show up to be allys of Arrow in the present.

another thing is if you were ollie and were presented with saving either caty or shado who do you save?
Now me at first I thought wow this is hard, but really caty betrayed arrow twice on island to help, herself, and shado would not do that she would die first, she would die for olie, caty wouldnt, so shado would be the one to save.

Having to make such a choice is just insane ... I wouldn't know what to do ...
Especially ep 2x11 shows that Sarah really isn't the "less good" one ...
