Okay, just watched, and at the moment, it's my favorite episode so far. Why? But yeah, loved the episode, and it just might be my favorite so far!
 * 1) I really like Artemis, and the rest of the "Arrow family". So whenever we get an episode prominently featuring one of the Arrows, I really enjoy it.
 * 2) I really liked Black Spider in "Infiltrator", and was a little annoyed he didn't have any lines. His character in this episode however, really does remind me of a darker version of Spider-Man, I wonder why Greg knows the character so well. ;) I hope to see more of him.
 * 3) I don't consider myself a "shipper", because I don't get behind "ships" like some fans do. I do, however, enjoy the dynamic between Artemis and Wally, and as their relationship evolved in this episode, I did enjoy it. Wally's anger at Artemis at the end, though understandable, was annoying. I didn't like the fact that their relationship has now almost gone full circle back to where they started. It will be interesting to see how the act around each other once Wally calms down.
 * 4) Roy Harper = fantastic. I don't care that everyone else thinks he's a jerk, I like Red Arrow, and I love the episodes he's been in. He brings an interesting aspect to the show, in that he's really the only prominently featured heroes that isn't linked to either the Team or the League. Not sure about how I feel now that that's changed and he's joined the Team, but I hope he goes back to the solo act.
 * 5) Sportsmaster and Cheshire are great too. I'm relived that Sportsmaster's identity as Artemis' father has finally been revealed "in-universe", but I'm annoyed that it's taken so long. Presumably for viewers that didn't know about his identity, it would have been an excellent and somewhat shocking reveal. I'm saddened I didn't get that same reaction, but still, I loved it. On Cheshire though, does anyone else see how she's becoming more and more like Catwoman? I don't know why, but after playing Batman: Arkham City, I just draw more and more connections between them. Loved that scene with Artemis, Roy and Cheshire where Artemis asks if they're dating. Made me laugh.
 * 6) The Light's actions in the episode... It was weird that we saw what they were doing so openly, without it being at either the very beginning, or the very end of an episode. I liked it, because it does remind you that we're near the end. Definitely found all the magic and stuff used on the Starro segment.
