I'm mildly cynical about Oliver getting off the island though. The whole point of him being on the island is that he's isolated from society. They can definitely do a lot with the idea, but might not the whole vibe of that whole half of the show get flushed down the toilet and be replaced with exactly the same vibe as the rest of the show?

I'm curious what they're going to do with Ra's Al-Ghul though. Making him just an assassin and taking away the whole six-hundred year old thing took away a lot of his coolness factor. His whole appeal to me was that he had a sort of not-quite-human aura to him that made him kind of creepy.
