Plagued with inconsistencies, bad writing, and abhorrent acting, this episode disrupts the flow of the season that was building quite nicely following the two-parters "The People Vs. Lois Lane/Dead Lois Walking". First-time writer for the series Brian Nelson doesn't seem to know the characters or what makes the show work, let alone the comics it's based on. He uses the character name Deathstroke, but any similarity to his comic counterpart stops there, including but not limited to his name, abilities, and outfit--lazy, inept writing at its finest.
Perhaps the worst grievance though may be the casting of Sydney Walsh as Carol Stanford and Antonio Sabato Jr. As Bob Stanford. Their cumulative acting is so atrocious, your jaw will literally drop in shock. Walsh's performance was so over-the-top ridiculous in her delivery and facial expressions, I almost skipped over the entire scene. There is maybe one other episode as lackluster as this one in the series; luckily, the powers that be did not utilize Nelson for any other screenplays. It's downright embarrassing.
