BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Arrow Episode 211 “Blind Spot” Review

Arrow Episode 211 “Blind Spot”
Review by Nicolas Souza

Coming off of last week’s weak spring premier, Wednesday’s episode of Arrow was a return to the elements that make it a joy for fans.



Laurel’s drug problem is finally addressed. This was done in parallel with the Blood Brother conflict, as she believes Sebastian Blood to be the leader. This leads Blood to assist Laurel in destroying her own life. She’s been doing a pretty bang up job on her own with the pills, likely oxycodone. Blood sends his inside man, Officer Daily, to search her apartment and then arrest her for possession.

Since the season 2 premier, I’ve been slightly annoyed with Laurel; this was a good way to justify why she has been acting the way she has been. It will also be interesting to see if her downfall will bring Sara back to Sterling City, more on that in a second. Now the Oliver has admitted to having a “Blind Spot” when it comes to Laurel will he be more wary of trusting her when she is danger in the future? Also, how will this affect her father? We know he had a substance abuse problem in his past too; will it passing to his daughter bring him down as well?


Roy’s new abilities came front and center when he enlists his old friend Sin to help him stop a string of murders in the Glades. With his new strength uncontrolled he puts a guy in the hospital. This scene was another filled with great stunt work. The pulling a stunt guy over a car and into a support column after being kicked by Roy was just great stuff. When Oliver learns that Roy did, he quickly jumps in and offers Roy the chance he has been waiting for. Now that “Red Arrow” is in training, how long will we have to wait to see him in action?

Slade was revealed to have a part in what was going on with the Blood Brothers and the serum. Now it has been shown that he is in fact the puppet master pulling the string of Blood and his goons. The moment many fans have been waiting for took place in the closing minutes of the episode. Slade finally puts on full Deathstroke gear. Modeled after The New 52 armor he looked badass. It was extremely gratifying to see him jumping and slashing Blood’s cronies on screen.

Now that he has been revealed, and will likely be the antagonist in the closing episodes on this season, how will it play out? If you are a fan of the comics you know that Deathstroke once took on the entire Justice League at once, all of them. Yeah, even Superman. Since we aren’t likely to see Bats, Kal El, Wonder Woman, or Green Lantern; who is going to help Oliver defeat his toughest challenge so far?

I do expect Sara, The Canary, to return to assist Laurel and their father in what is going to be a rough road for them. Though this return is problematic, as it would bring the Assassins back, possibly one of the al Guls. The addition of Roy is good too; he will at least come close to matching the strength of Slade. Barry Allen is rumored to be back for at least one episode later this spring, around the time “The Flash” premiers, he might be called upon to aide the rest of the crew.

Seeing as we are only in the second week of the spring half, we can only wait and watch.

Next week’s episode “Tremors” looks like it will jump right into the training Oliver will give Roy to be a new do-gooder in Sterling City.
