I do not like that they killed her off, but I guess they needed to do so. I liked that she was the connection to the evil of the past, she knew all the players.
So am I as I thought about that seem they keep bringing his name back up alot lately and that would be one hell of a twist!!
I wonder if he will end up protecting Oliver since he probably wants to kill him himself.

Same here and I bet if that twist plays out with Merlyn he will do it for Moira to protect his kid Thea and help Oliver and Queen matriarch Moira sacrificed her life in exchange for her children, Oliver and Thea, dying by sword at the hands of Slade. The episode, "Seeing Red," was initially billed as a Roy Harper-centric hour, but the other major bombshells also had to do with Moira: 1) She knew Oliver was the Arrow since (at least) the Undertaking. 2) She paid off a girl to lie about losing Oliver's baby and leave town. 3) She was this close to spilling a secret about Malcolm.!!
I liked this part in the article above about Moira
How do you think Moira would have handled the repercussions of Oliver's secret child had she stayed alive?
Another Moira-Oliver reveal came in the form of a pregnancy, with Moira using money as incentive to have the girl disappear and worse of all, lie about losing the baby. Was that moment surprising to you when you first read it?
It wasn't surprising. The producers like to create these unexpected Easter eggs. You find these eggs in different areas hidden way and a lot of them are in Central City it feels like. (Laughs.) As Marc talked to me about the episode, what he liked about that particular bit of it was it allowed the audience to see how her brain works. She is still protecting her son and a grandchild. Yes, she is asking the young woman to go away and yes, she is paying her off. But the way I wanted to play it, I did truly want Moira to feel sincere about helping that child out.
How do you think Moira would have handled the repercussions of Oliver's secret child had she stayed alive?
It would have been interesting, in creating my own backstory for her and my possibilities of the future had she lived, was that she had probably at different times had reached out to this child or at least kept an eye on them.
What are your thoughts on Moira knowing about her son's Arrow life for at least a season?
Stephen and I have often played and felt that Moira knows. I don't know that Stephen played or built it into Oliver that he knew that Moira knew. (Laughs.) But Stephen and I have talked about that Moira has always believed that somewhere in the middle -- I thought it was a little bit earlier [than the Undertaking]. I harken back to the pilot. There's a piece of Moira that I feel knows much more than the audience realizes she knows and much more than Oliver realizes. Moira and Oliver live a very parallel life in the first two seasons.
It's safe to say Moira's death shatters Oliver and Thea's worlds. How do you think this affects their trajectories?
What we're left with in this episode is that Moira and Oliver are starting to mend their relationship. Thea and Moira haven't quite gotten there. For Moira to die in the middle of healing actually rising [with Oliver] and healing that hasn't happened yet [with Thea], I think we've got possibly two different trajectories there and the impact and the guilt and the pain or the release of that that might be felt from either one of these characters.

I thought about that & I don't think he hates Oliver,but that he does care about him. He'll obviously want to protect Thea since she's his daughter. He wanted to destroy the Glades because of his wife's murder. I don't think he blames Oliver for his son's death. If he does show up,it most likely will be his rehabilitation/redemption episode.
This is also interesting and has a few spoilers so read at own risk!! Next week's episode, "City of Blood,"
opens with Moira's funeral -- and Oliver is missing. "There's a line in the next episode where Walter says to Thea, 'Your mother showed you how much she loved you in ways few parents can,' and yet she was still lying," Kreisberg previewed. "Ending it at this time left you with that great feeling of what a great character she was rather then let her become a caricature."
As Oliver and Thea head into the thick of the storm, their personal loss drives them for the rest of the series. "That was the math -- it was horrible math, it was tearful math but her death has a profound impact on everyone on the series," Kreisberg promised. "It's certainly what's going to drive Oliver in these last three episodes. It's going to drive Thea, not only in these last three episodes, but also into [season] three. Sometimes the worst thing you can do personally is the best thing you can do professionally."
But it was Moira's surprising admission that she knew of Oliver's secret life as the vigilante that was eyebrow-raising. "We had always talked about the idea that Moira knew Oliver was the Arrow," Kreisberg said, revealing that there were "a couple of other places" where the producers thought Moira should inform Oliver. But he pointed to a pivotal scene in "Sacrifice" where Oliver essentially talks to his mother as the Arrow amid the Undertaking, as her moment of revelation. "She'd be borderline low IQ if she wasn't like, 'Wait a minute!' We liked that she had never told him and everything just felt like it came together in this one episode."
Arrow wasn't done with the bombshells. It was revealed in flashbacks that Oliver had fathered a child before his time on the island and that Moira paid the woman $1 million to disappear and lie about losing the baby. "The seeds for season two were planted in season one and again, the best part of the success that the show has had is knowing that we were going to make more and knowing that we could drop these things in and pay them off later," Kreisberg said. "This is something that will be paid off in season three."
Five other nuggets for the rest of the season:
- Thea is going to be reunited with her father, Malcolm Merlyn, in the May 7 episode, "Streets of Fire," who offers her something she can't refuse. "All hell is going to break loose in the city and Thea will find herself in a precarious predicament and she will be saved by her father," he hinted. "Malcolm is going to offer her what she doesn't have anymore." It was all part of the equation of killing Moira. "If we were going to send Thea in that direction, she needed to have nothing pulling her back here."
- Sara, after breaking up with Oliver, left at the end of the episode to parts unknown, but it won't be the last we'll see of her. "Sara will be back," Kreisberg said.
- Roy won't be in action for a while. "He's in a coma for a couple of episodes."
- Shado makes a return in the season closer May 14, "Unthinkable."
- With Moira's death, Sebastian Blood is that much closer to being the new Starling City mayor. "The politics of Starling City are probably less important than there are going to be supervillains running around the city. Maybe Slade didn't just kill Moira to piss Oliver off -- and maybe somebody realizes that," Kreisberg said.
- Add Oliver's knee injury, all thanks to a Mirakuru'd Roy, to his long list of obstacles. "His mother is dead, his sister hates him, he blames himself, Sara's gone, his knee hurts, Roy's in a coma," Kreisberg said, rattling of a list of Oliver's latest issues. "We were like, 'How bad can we make this?' And we have. He really is coming from the lowest point that he could come." Not to mention Team Arrow "is in shambles," Queen Consolidated is no longer under his control. "What is Oliver Queen going to do? Is he going to be that guy on the island or is he going to be something else?" -Is there more to Arrow’s “Oliver has a child” reveal, or is it something that will be addressed in Season 3?
As of now, the name of the baby momma glimpsed this week is not being specified, but that thread will be picked up. Eventually. “That is something that will be paid off in Season 3,” EP Andrew Kreisberg told reporters at a recent screening.

That should be one hell of a fight between Slade and Merlyn!!
Merlyn is a better fighter & archer than Oliver.
Very true and thats why I said it will be interesting when Merlyn shows up and if he helps Oliver against Slade and Merlyn and Slade go at it will make very good fights and I bet he shows up in 2nd to last episode or Season Finale!!

Well the only thing we know for certain is that Oliver is not going to die, after all he is the point of the series. Just demonstrates again that anyone else can die.
Next Episode: Season 2, Episode 21
Wednesday, April 30, 2014
"City of Blood": Diggle and Felicity go to extremes to keep Oliver from surrendering to Slade; Thea thinks about leaving town; Laurel goes after Sebastian Blood again.

Probably get it back either last episode this season or by next season depend on when her will is read and when that girl working for Slade gets knocked off and Slade also it will happen or the Board finds out who she really is and disposes of her!!
The whole thing is silly anyways, a board cannot vote away your shares. They can change who the CEO is but you still own just as much of the company, or they have to buy the shares from you at fair market value giving you the money anyways. Oliver did not sign his fortune over to her just made her acting CEO.
I think they said earlier that his/his family's shares were diluted by an influx of other shares,all a part of the hostile takeover Isabel attempted before Walter stepped in.
Yes that would be voting rights, but the shares would still have the value the originally have. Lets say a company has 1 million shares at $10 each. If you own 80% of them you definitely have control of the company and are worth $8 million. Then lets say the company issues more shares. They sell 9 million more shares at $10 each. You still own your 800k shares, but now it is only 8% of the company, you have lost control, but your shares are still worth $8 million.
