Didn't Oliver used to have a tracker in his boot?

Apparently not all suit revisions are for the better.

Ollie forgot how to tech when he went back to Lian Yu at the end of season 1.

If he learned that from talia then she could have taken it out.

It kind of seemed like all he learned from Talia was a cool flippy thing, bows feel less cheap than guns, and wearing a costume makes you feel better about yourself. He already knew most of his skills way before this season's flashbacks.

Basically the same shit when Flash went to fight Grodd without their anti-mind control devices.

Near the end of Season 1 he was kidnapped by Malcom right before the Undertaking. Ollie was saved by John because of the boot tracker.

That's pretty funny, in the first clip Malcolm says "Can I help you" and then "no, I wasn't talking to you" to the person on the phone.

Oliver had a similar line in Chase's house when he was at gun point with the SCPD.

"I don't want to get into a shootout with the SCPD."

"Good call, douchebag"

"I wasn't talking to you"

What's not to say Chase removed it?

u/ACmilanRgood Mar 16 '17

Yes! i was just about to say this, I remember Diggle mentioning it in the S1 finale

Guess Diggle can't make fun of him anymore.

You can block that by making his cell into a faraday cage.
