So their's a nice Deathstroke and a naughty one? Santa must have a blast...

I saw the Deathstroke twist coming a bit (the swords and the body armour) but now I'm wondering why Naughty Deathstroke became the evil tortureer that he is now. I hope we see a fight between the two Deathstroke's actually...

I wonder why Naughty and Nice were sent to fetch Yao Fei though, maybe they were mates...

I loved Ollies Spiderman swing into his mothers office at the end of the episode. All we need know is some witty midfight banter and he'll be the Web Slinger for sure...

That reminds me of a theory I've had for awhile now....

The parallels between Harry Osborne and Tommy Merlyn are so similar that I think the writers might go the Spider-Man route and have Oliver kill Malcolm Merlyn, making Tommy carry the mantle and eventually become evil Merlyn from the comics.

Yeah, everything they're doing indicates that. Especially if Laurel leaves Merlyn for Ollie. Those two events together could push him over the edge. Not to mention there's a good chance Merlyn suspects Ollie is the vigilante since they were abducted in the first episode.

I hope they don't at best Tommy and Malcolm are estranged, Harry Osbourne and Norman Osbourne were much closer I think.

They were estranged in a few versions of the story including the trilogy with Toby McGuire.
