Okay, let me get this straight - There's a guy who's captured the Assisstant District Attorney, threatened to execute him on a video feed livestreaming to possibly tens of thousands of people, and the police aren't all over this? Ollie's the only person seemingly doing anything to stop him. Meanwhile, Quentin "I-Have-Literally-Been-Involved-In-Every-Case-So-Far" Lance has enough time to screw around and look for his dead daughter.

Come on, Starling City Police. Get your stuff together. If this were the GCPD, half the city would be shut down and someone would have faked their own death.

Meanwhile, what is apparently the only news station in Starling City chooses to livestream the Savior's feed as well, so everyone in this fairly large city can watch these people die...in real time!

I think it's fairly obvious who failed the city this week.

Back in on the Island, Ollie and friends, including Yao Fei's daughter Shado, are able to take out Fyers and a significant portion of his henchmen. Maybe they could have done something like this earlier? Also, Shado shows off her asskicking skills (again, maybe could have done something like that earlier), which I'm guessing is a connection to her being a Yakuza assassin in the comics. And you know she can kick ass because she pulled off a Sonya Blade leg grab. Have I mentioned that there's a fighting game based on DC Comics from the Mortal Kombat guys out in a few weeks?

At least the subplot with Moira and Malcom is went well. She had her "Out, damn spot" moment, which is a more sophisticated reference than I thought this show would do.

Also, the first guy the savior killed was John Nichol, who's better known in the comics as the second Dr. Polaris. Again, love combing this show for Easter Eggs. K the cops in that town are just bad cops to start with. They all stopped caring about everything that happened in that city a long time ago. They haven't been able to capture and hold anyone so far, not even in their own prisons. They are a shitty police force.

''K the GCPD are bad too at their job. They got trapped in the swears for weeks, b/c their chief decided to send everyone''

HAHA! Well YJ only had 3 news reporters too. I actually liked that they brought that guy back from Ep1. He DID warn the viewers, plus wasn't it being streamed to everyones phone still anyways? The rich wonna see what's happening too.

I think the Government has failed that city. So many gang wars between high end groups, and people in witness protection being murdered, while their police force still hasn't caught someone who commits murder of a weekly-ish basic.

Did you get the Easter Egg w Central City & back in a flash ? (LOL it's Easter Weekend here, starting tomorrow!)

I liked that Moira cried after. It was a good cry freakout IMO
