He shouted her name on the radio and she didn't answer so maybe he left the island without her and she stayed on for a while longer. That would make sense because he was surprised to see her when she returned to Starling City. I think he thought she died on the island.

I believe the Island scenes are always 5 years behind the current show time.


So as Oliver has now been back for over a year we are seeing stuff that happened in the 2nd year he was on the island.

^Ah ok. As I said though, I can't see how they can string out him being on the island next season... presuming that he's the only one left there. Then again, this is Arrow, they like a good curveball every now and then.

I've not seen any evidence of that. Where does that information come from?

They haven't explained how he's 'in' with the Russia Mafia yet, have they?

Oooh yes. Well spotted. And the engineer is ex-Soviet navy so I guess he could be a link.

I want to say that its predictable that he's stuck on the island and every time there's an attempt to leave (before the pilot) we know he's going fail, but I you just can't say how it all will turn out. There's still plenty of mystery there.

Olly when he leaves the island is long haired and straggly bearded, so we're not there yet.

Implied in first season he'd been off the island, and returned to get "rescued" so he could publicly start his mission.

Liked that scene, but even better when she went - "Bitch....with Wifi".

Great episode - but still two more episodes....

Isabel I liked.

David Nykl*, the ex-Soviet sailor, Anatoli Knyazev; is also KGBeast (DC Comics), first seen in "Crucible," the one where Digs rescues Lyla.

* Also portrayed Radek Zelenka in SG: Atlantis

Bloody hell! Thought I recognised the voice but didn't put it together

I think Zelenka was one of my favourite characters on Atlantis. Very popular amongst fans, but still did not warrant getting a spot as a main title character.

I didn't think the mask suited her and rather spoiled the look.


When they met Sara, I think they said she'd been on the boat for about a year. So some time has passed, but not five years yet.

Interesting news on S3 in case anyone missed it

As the series finale has now aired in the US, do we get a double bill this week?

No. Why would there be a double bill?

As we are an episode behind and it would be nice to finish at a similar time to the US. People will torrent the last episdoe surely.

The people who do that will do that anyway. The rest of us will wait and watch like we normally do.

I didn't have the patience when Sky fell behind the US... kept at it and whilst I won't give even a hint of a spoiler, the finale is satisfying. Still the best show on TV
