The flashbacks in this episode were some of the best ones in years. We learned the origins of Oliver's costume, his weapon of choice and the opening monologue of the show. Talia is an awesome character. She's Nyssa half-sister or something, right?

I like how the metahumans' powers are connected to what they were doing when the particle accelerator exploded. It does raise some questions, though. What if someone was throwing up when the dark matter hit them? Would they be able to, I don't know, defeat their enemies with radioactive vomit?

I liked Felicity's storyline. It was kind of hilarious to see a hacktivist groupie geek out over meeting her hero. I wonder what Felicity's going to do with all the information she has now. I also enjoy her relationship with Rory. But I can't believe that a young kid like him doesn't know what "IRL" means.

Oliver and the recruits are becoming quite a good team. Rene is a lot more likeable now than he was at the beginning of the season.

Dinah? Freaking Dinah? I'm not crying, you're crying. No one can ever replace Laurel, but Dinah made a hell of a first impression. I already like her.

Yes Talia is Nyssa's older half sister if remember she was a kid in 1960s in when Sara went back in time in Legends. Also Rory really not hip to many thing, never show him doing computer stuff yet.

Felicity and the data-drive have me wondering, too. She won't be able to resist poking around in all that data (we could see it glimmering in her eyes), and who knows what sort of discoveries and inspiration the Ghost Fox Goddess -- a.k.a. Overwatch -- will find in them...
