    How exactly does flash get stabbed? It makes no sense to me at all, everything would be extremely slow to him when he's running super fast. He would be able to see the blade, then run into it, and keep running into it until it's impaled him. From our PoV it happens in an instant, to him it would have been a lot slower.

    I don't know, inertia?

    Slade planned his explosions so that Flash would land behind him and by the time flash did, Slade already had his sword out and Wally most likely impaled himself on it.

    There's also that the comics use th 10% - 90% brain myth so theoretically Slade thinks 9 times faster than the others.

    Oh the explosion knocks flash into the blade? I thought flash ran into the room or w.e and into the blade.

    Slade triggered the explosions as soon as the fight started, luring Wally to run around them into the only spot he could attack slade from, behind. And that's where he sent his sword, knowing Wally will go there.

    By the time Wally realised it was a trap, he was impaled.

    Ah so it was as I originally thought, It still doesn't logically make sense then. Think about it, from Flash' point of view, Slade is essentially motionless while flash is running, with a sword sticking out. The flash would then have to purposely run into the blade, because there's no way at all that he wouldn't see it, unless he was blind.

    Because of the speed he moves, everything is extremely slow/close to frozen in real time, except for things moving at a speed similar to the flash.

    Look at the second panel. The sword is in front of Deathstroke and the Flash is close to him, so obviously he moved the sword very fast to get it in that position, so the Flash probably didn't notice. Also, he probably wasn't expecting it either so he wasn't on guard.

    He probably didn't notice. As far as I know Wally's thinking isn't also accelerated so going by the comic myth Slade still thinks 9 times faster.

    Green Arrow is the one narrating ( hence the green boxes ) and he says Slade was a dozen moves ahead of them.

    That he is. That he is indeed.

    They -could- have him kill Ra's thus freeing Oliver from having to be the heir. Maybe Argus wants Ra's dead and they free Slade if he kills him. If there's someone that can kill Ra's it's Deathstroke. It would also probably be the best fight in the show since they are both sword specialists.

    Unless he gets his Mirakuru back, or something similar, I can't see them doing that. There's no way they'd have Ra's take out both Oliver and Thea, then get taken out by a guy that both Oliver and Thea have taken out, it would make no sense.

    Now if ARGUS/HIVE were to pump him full of super syrum (Maybe a perfected version of the Mirakuru, one that makes you super strong and all that good stuff, but DOESN'T drive you insane, it actually does what the stuff Deathstroke in the comics took did and makes you think faster and clearer, so that he would no longer be mad at Oliver.) then send him to kill Ra's... That could work and would be SUPER AWESOME. Because as you said, that would probably be the greatest fight EVER in the show and pretty high on the list of greatest fights ever on TV...

    Damnit now I'm far more excited about Deathstroke Vs Ra's than the inevitable rematch between Oliver and Ra's.

    It would solve all issues, it's really a good scapegoat.

    Oliver isn't going to beat Ra's and should not be able to ( the only reason he won against Slade was that slade had been used to Mirakuru for 5 years and his technique deteriorated + he was just cured ) so they should give that honor for Slade. That would solve a lot of issues:

    - Oliver being in the League.
    - Deathstroke being freed by Argus in exchange for killing Ra's.
    - Ra's gets taken down by a proper character in an awesome fight instead of dying to some crappy scheme.
    - We get the best fight on the show from two of the best actors ( my top 3 is Slade, Merlyn and Ra's, I think they are all perfect for their role )
    - Deathstroke finally gets some justice compared to the joke he's become and can become a special guest/recurring character when various people hire him to blow up other people.

    There's no way they'd have Ra's take out both Oliver and Thea, then get taken out by a guy that both Oliver and Thea have taken out, it would make no sense.
    Eh, that's unfair. He was in a cage for a year and had no weapons whereas the two had a gun.

    He was doing fine until Thea pulled out the gun, pretty sure he can beat them if he's at 100%.

    next episode will tease the justice something, if its just an easter egg meant to mean nothing then its probably teasing the justice league, if its something they actually plan on using its probably a teaser for the spin off show which has been highly rumoured to be the tv version of the justice league/justice society i really doubt they can use the name justice league because of the movies.

    also jay jackson isnt listed as a superhero, so we still dont know who the third mystery hero is.

    True he might have Taken out Oliver and Thea, if she didn't pull out a gun... But still without Mirakuru this version of Deathstroke is no match for Ra's. I'd love to have a fight between these two titans, but it would need to be both of them at their peak or this whole season will feel like a massive anticlimax. There's no way they'd spend the whole season going on and on about how dangerous Ra's is only to have him get taken out by a depowered version of last season big bad. It makes no sense and makes this whole season look weak...

    Well Slade is more than a sword fighter. I doubt Ra's can use guns.

    Ra's is already getting weaker, no? he said the well isn't working that well for him anymore.

    I think they just included that line so that IF they want to kill him off, they can totally write him out. He's still just as physically strong as ever (just ask Thea ).

    As for pulling out a gun... Ra's doesn't USE guns, but I'm sure he's aware of what they are and probably has taken some precautions against them...

    Man that would be fucking hilarious, if in the big final fight it looks like Ra's is going to kill Oliver again, so Diggle just pulls his trusty 9mm out and puts a bullet in the back of Ra's head "I should have done that a year ago..."

    Not sure if I'd love or hate that ending

    diggle will be on the flash and the new spin off show next season, he will also be getting his own costume/super hero identity

    "Arrow's David Ramsey touched on a number of topics at a recent fan convention in Canada, including a tease of a new team dynamic in Season 4. This should really come as no surprise, considering that Colton Haynes' Roy Harper will no longer be a regular cast member heading into next season. Ramsey also teased that the fallout from the Ra's al Ghul's (Matt Nable) manipulations of the team will result in a new team dynamic next season.

    Ramsey also disclosed that Diggle will be appearing in future episodes of The Flash and the new spinoff series, Legends of Tomorrow.

    Perhaps most interesting of the reveals, was Ramsey's tease that he recently complete a full 3D body and face scan and that Diggle was upgrading to Diggle 2.0 next season.

    Arrow marches on to the Season 3 finale with an all new episode next Wednesday at 8PM on The CW"

    so, he isnt dying, and he isnt green lantern, but he is something. i wonder if they will make him an already existing hero like we though with green lantern or if he will have a wholly new identity.

    Yeahno, unless Merlyn bodyjumped inside Thea she shouldn't be a challenge at all.
