Arrow "Birds of Prey" Thoughts/Review!

Well it's Wednesday night once again so lets recap the latest Arrow shall we? We all know the deal if you havn't seen the episode don't read the article unless you want spoilers. This time around I thought I would shorten this blog a little bit just so we can get through the major plot points and ideas.
 So with out further adue...let us begin....

Major Plot Points to the Episode

• Huntress (Helena) comes back to kill her Father
• Laurel goes back surprisingly to work as a lawyer
• Ends up being a trap just so Huntress can get close to her father
• Laurel is taken hostage
• Sara tells Ollie she will save Laurel by any means necessary 
• Ollie tells Sara she's not a killer... She promptly answers with "Ill be who I have to be"(kinda badass)
• Epic fight scene between Ollie's current and ex girlfriend (Black Canary/Huntress)
• Rogue cop kills Helena's father
• Huntress Captured
• Roy feels he can't control his rage once being out on the field
• Ollie tells him to stay away from Thea to keep her safe
• Roy breaks up with Thea and then is caught with some random blonde chick in the vodka room
• Finally...Slade picks up Thea while she is walking home

Things I enjoyed

• I thought the fight scenes were great this week
• Sara has an even deeper bad ass side then we thought
• Laurel does something (bravo Katie Cassidy proud of you)
• Roy took a bullet in the hand
• Detective Lance seems to be an unofficial Arrow team member
• The brilliant diversion Ollie uses when Lance calls the Arrow's cell phone
• Wouldn't be complete with out Mr. Slade Wilson

Things I Did not like

• Huntress I thought was very bland in this episode 
• Seemed a little slow at times (thats ok though this season has been unreal)
• No Diggle :(
• Roy got one actions scene and that was it. Really want to see Arsenal 
• Thea Queen is an ugly crier.
• The tension between Ollie and Sara seems to be rising
• Very short appearance by Slade

Things to Watch for in upcoming episodes

If I'm not mistaken, I do believe that we are about to see the epic battle between Slade and Ollie next week. After Slade took Thea we know both him and Roy are going to be out of their minds with rage. Also, did Huntress spark something in Laurel that may have stuck. "Once the darkness is inside of you, it will never come out". What the hell is that supposed to mean? Another thing, We know Slade and Brother Blood are working together (think back to earlier episodes), should we expect to see Thea possibly get injected with the miracurue?  These are all things to keep in mind as we progress towards the end of season 2. By the way, although some of you may not be satisfied with tonight's episode just keep this in mind, this season has ben absolutely incredible I think we can throw the guys from the show a bone and let them have a couple "filler episodes" as I like to call them. 

Overall I give this episode a 6 out of 10 rating Arrow Wednesdays 8/7 Central on CW
