When Moira said she had an affair with Malcolm I thought the shocker would be that he is Oliver's father. Since he's Thea's its a bit disgusting that her half brother Tommy commented on how hot she had become in season 1 and if I remember rightly didnt she have a crush on Tommy at one stage during season 1?

There's nothing "disgusting" about it when the parties involved have no idea they are half-siblings. If Thea and Tommy had known they were related and still expressed their respective thoughts then it would have been a touch creepy however.

Just to put it into context I said " a bit disgusting" because I know they didnt know they were related, hence the use of the phrase "a bit" before the word "disgusting".

Yes I know, and all I said was that, as they didn't know, I don't believe it did qualify as disgusting.
Well, that was a mixed-bag of an episode. I'm assuming that Vertigo is now gone for good, despite the events of the final minutes. Mostly, because I know the writers check ComicBookMovie regularly, so they'll now Gabel wasn't very popular. Shame though - I thought this was his best episode. If they could have used last seasons overdose to change him a bit and maybe tone down the Joker comparisons, he would have become a great recurring villain. Count Nutbag.
The stupid - who watching didn't know that the flu vaccine was responsible?? Made even worse by Felicity twice mentioning how smart she is FFS. Also, I really hope Moira's lawyer wasn't based on Marc Guggenheim or anyone he used to work with....if she was, I feel very sorry for anyone represented by them. She didn't know that Not-Harvey Dent would ask Thea difficult questions? Even I had a valid response prepared that would have explained why she didn't visit her mother straight away.
Malcolm being back.....shocked that it happened so soon, but not shocked that he is Thea's father. They're doing a good job for now, but I'm not sure how long they can keep so many villains in play without some of the characters being pushed aside.
Am I the only one seeing Star Lab's execrator turning Berry Allen into the Flash?
I suspect the particle accelerator will be what is used to give The Flash his powers yes but that's now expected to take place in his own proper pilot episode rather than a back door pilot in Arrow.
I'll say one thing for the Flash, it'll be interesting to see how they do it, especially if all of this is in the same universe. Thus far, in Arrow, nobody is superhuman, nobody has special abilities, they're all just people (granted, trained and in peak condition).
Barry's predicament will see him with actual powers.

If it comes to be that Professor Ivo finds the Japanese super-soldier formula and makes use of it, we could be seeing some powered-up baddies in future episodes.

We've already seen a taste of this sort of thing from Brother Blood as well with the serum he's been injecting into the captives.
Totally agree, that was such an emotional rollercoaster of an EP, laying down all kinds of new leads for future stories and I loved the casual slip in of Ra's al ghul's name.
It was really odd at first seeing Grant Gustin playing another role but he was very good, I did have to laugh at the line about him not being able to dance though given his Glee character Sebastian Smythe's excellence in that field
That latest episode. Incredible! I think that episode confirmed to me that S2 is better than S1. And to think I was never a comic book or Marvel fan really. Barry was awesome!
Ratings are going great too. Last night in the US received the highest episode rated episode since February (EP 14 of S1) by getting 3.24m and a 1.2 demo. It's only .2 away from matching The X Factor USA.
Half the stuff that Ollie already does is pretty much impossible in the real world, let alone whilst wearing a hood that removes his entire peripheral vision.
Yes, it is impossible. I'm a former archer, using a compound bow not unlike the one used on Arrow, and couldn't make any of those action shots. Even an Olympic standard archer could not do it. Also, treating the bow like he does, and using it as a blunt instrument, would pretty soon make is unusable for shooting arrows.
Reality to one side, this is still a cracking show. Moira, looking gorgeous as usual, and Felicity easily prettier than Laurel or her sister, and a much more interesting character. As for the Flash, as others have suggested, they cannot 'do' this character without genuine superpowers. But, so far, I like the blokie playing Barry Allen.
Hmmmm i just got finished reading most on the New Earth comics a low and behold miss. Isabel Rochev was in it as 'The Queen' I wonder if that means we will get to see her become this character in the show. I hope so I dont want it to be another DKR with the Marion Cotillard bait and switch with the Talia Al Ghul.

I don't think so as they're not using the New Earth timeline if I remember rightly and we already know we're getting
Nyssa al Ghul later this season and there's been plenty of rumours that Summer Glau's character's actually Talia al Ghul masquerading as Isabel Rochev.

Don't worry, i'm sure they'll do even more than hug at some point.

Poor Felicity.
I know nothing of the comic stories, but is Merlin key to them, as the character itself was played out by the end of season 1?.
Yes, Malcolm Merlyn is a major villain in the comics.

Execrator? You mean accelerator right?

Haha, I have no idea. I wasn't sure if you made a mistake or I misheard it when it was said.

Loved Barry! Can't wait for the next episode.
