Arrow - Spoilers galore

ok, this woman on tv was getting the crap beat out of her by one guy last night. 6 months later she is kicking arrows arse... And of course the new owner of Queen is going to be a robot or something... Where are the normal people??? How come the black guy can't get some love? He gets a stupid ski mask and his butt kicked all the time.

That 'one guy' who beat her up was one of Slade's Mirakuru goons. Even Ollie had trouble with them one on one. They also mentioned that she was the first woman on SCPD Swat before any of this happened, so she had established credibility. Plus, she may have gotten in a few good shots but Ollie mostly whooped her. I also think he was holding back trying to talk her down. I don't think it's that out of line.
