Oliver may need to step aside. It seems there a new vigilante in Starling City who calls himself The Savior, and he's got his own list he's checking names off of. In a present day twist on the Joker's old MO, he announces (and commits) his crimes via every cellphone (almost Sherlock-ian) in the city. Apparently, he's a department of transportation worker by day, but has some fighting and computer skills as a vigilante at night. I wonder what island he was stranded on?
The catch? Roy Harper is on the Savior's list, and he nabs him right in the middle of one of Roy and Thea's annoying anti-flirtations. From what we've seen of Roy so far, and what we know of his possible future, I can't imagine how the Savior got the drop on him. So of course we get to see Oliver in another race against time. Ho-hum.
Oliver does some crazy almost bionic style jumps in this episode, as well as some insane parkour. Man, Deathstroke must have taught him well. Stephen Amell's chest also makes a return as a cast member. The huge gay audience that I recently learned "Arrow" has will be pleased by that news.
The subplots roll on. Moira and Frank (Chen, not Bertinelli) continue to plot against Malcolm, with mixed results. Laurel and her folks continue to search for the thought dead Sarah, though also not with the results expected. On the island, Shado and Yao Fei join Oliver and Slade's resistance.
Alex Kingston as Dinah Lance has the best line of the episode, "Got to get going to airport, that red eye to Central City. I should be home in a flash." Love it! More, please.
Next episode, Count Verti-, ahem, I mean The Count returns. Same Arrow time, same Arrow channel...
