Normally, I rarely notice the music during an episode, but this time, it bothered me. The first one, and the one during the fight after their motorcycle ride felts like bad beats from the 80s.

I thought Felicity looked like an Hacker when she was wearing all black, with dark eye make-up. It was great to see her like this, it fits well better than all her fancy dresses, in my opinion.

I'm glad that Quentin went behind Rene's back to organize a meeting with his little girl. They were adorable, and I really hope that they will be reunited for good one day.

I'm not at all a fan of Oliver's mask, I miss seeing his face, and it barely looks like him considering that we cannot see much, even if it is him.

How can anyone keep a prisoner in a containter without fresh air, food, a place to pee, etc. WTF is wrong with Argus?!

It seems that all the guys with white mask were expandables, because Felicity or her friend (I never remember her name) did not give a damn each time one of them got hurt, or killed.

I love this line by Rene "I guess you can teach a dog some new tricks. Even wild ones." Nice Wild Dog pun, by himself.

Oooh, the ending took me by surprise!!!

"How can anyone keep a prisoner in a containter without fresh air, food, a place to pee, etc. WTF is wrong with Argus?!"

what's wrong with that? it's just like the 'pipeline' in flash. (in fact, a shipping container is even bigger than the cells in the pipeline!) and the 'vault' in torchwood.

apparently, set designers/dressers NEVER think of these things. wtf is wrong with THEM? lol!

in ARGUS's defense, i do believe they held that guy in their suicide squad suite, but only stuck him in a shipping container when they knew helix was coming after him.

(also in their defense, lyla did camp out with baby sara in tractor-trailer when everybody's life was in danger from DD. but that one had ameneties. um, or at least a crib?)

PS: if mr super hacker dude WAS indeed so dangerous, wouldn't ARGUS have also implanted a bomb in him? a la suicide squad?

i mean, ARGUS wouldn't have just sat on this guy, they would have put him to work. wouldn't they??

i was not surprised by the end.

as soon as i saw the abandoned helix place, i thought 'oh BLEEP, they totally lied to felicity, screwed her over, and left her holding the bag.' the guy they sprang from ARGUS probably wasn't even their friend/ally, probably didn't know crap about this 'heartbeat algorithm' search program, if such a thing even exists... AND...!

then when the chick popped up on the screen, and gave felicity a 'consolation prize'? did not trust that. at all. it was probably a virus, and felicity just plugged it right in to her arrow bunker cave headquarters computer... it probably pretended to be searching for adrian chase's 'heartbeat' while it located the secret lair, sent it to helix, and then self destructed, taking felicity's computer system with it.

PS: did you notice that 'team arrow' is losing all its allies? first anatoly and the bratva. now felicity (and helix, not that they were really on board anyway), and also lyla and ARGUS.

lastly, i have a prediction for malcolm merlyn! (which i fail at SO OFTEN.) i predict that prometheus is an agent of kovar, who is coming to get revenge on oliver. and how did prometheus get all this inside information on 'the hood guy'? from kovar's good buddy, malcolm merlyn.

lol True! What is wrong with them? Years ago, in any TV Series, every bad guys had a decent prison.

in ARGUS's defense, i do believe they held that guy in their suicide squad suite, but only stuck him in a shipping container when they knew helix was coming after him.

Probably, which would be better.

Good point. They really should have done it, but maybe this was just for the bad guys that went on missions, to force them to come back, while he remained in his cell or indoor if he had to hack something, so it was not needed.

I was not surprised that Helix left without Felicity, I was surprise when the bomb exploded in Felicity and Oliver's faces, and I don't think it was done by Helix, but what you said made sense. I think it was done by Adrian Chase, considering that this bastard always claims to be far ahead of many steps.

PS: did you notice that 'team arrow' is losing all its allies?

It seems that everything is going to be different in the next season, with new people.

lol It would not surprise me if Malcolm was giving away informations, he did that often before.
