Taken 4: Slade Wilson Edition. Manu Bennett gives me life. He's goddamn perfect as Deathstroke. Holy shit, that hallway scene! Speechless. Best. Fight. Ever. That slaughter fest a la John Wick. Really loved the gun-sword combo. Words can't begin to describe how I'm feeling right now. More like uncomprehensible noises while I jump around my room.
"When the Jackals took my son they didn't count on who his father was". That delivery. I loved it. "Don't make this man angry", well, too late. That deadly rampage is what I need. I will watch a whole hour of Slade murdering people. He needs to be given a spin-off. Manu Bennett is a pleasure to watch.
"I ask you just to trust me on this one, kid". Boy, did I miss this! The chemistry between these two. I got goosebumps. Just like old times: the mentor and the student. Team Lian Yu. I could feel the tension. Mirakuru or not Slade slaughtered his mother, but at the same time, Oliver acknowledged the Slade he met on the island.
Despite being anticlimactic, the Vigilante subplot was extreme compelling. I wasn't expecting him to reveal his identity so easily but now Dinah has an arc of her own. Her reactions were on point and sold the story perfectly. Props to Juliana. She's awesome. Btw, she suited up I like 15 seconds. There're a lot of characters on the show and it's easy to leave them in the background but now everyone has an arc of their own. Way to go.
I love agent Watson. She's the most competent and qualified detective this show has ever had. She's breathing on their necks.
Of course the plot thickens. As soon as Nylander appeared I knew Joe was the boss. I kind of feel bad I didn't realize it sooner. After all, like father like son. Btw, next episode looks insane. I need more Slade in my life. Those flashbacks were on point. I loved that they showed us how Slade was as a father. Amazing episode.
