First Impressions - Arrow: "This Is Your Sword"

This is by no means a deeply intense dissection of the episode.
It's just my quick comments and notes after seeing the episode only once (a la AoS).
Spoilers after the jump.
You've been warned...

Season 3 Episode 22: "This Is Your Sword"
The Good:
More Katana action!
It was the haircut that did it for me more than the mask. Like the mask was a given, but the hair sealed the deal. 

Nice move with the laptop Felicity!

The Bad:
The songs she sang when her son and husband died were touching, but I needed the subtitles to realize they were the same song.

Is it "Rahs"...or "Raish"..? Make up your damn minds!
Plus - making Oliver marry, ascend, and THEN destroy Starling City? That sounds kind of bass-ackwards. Why nothave him marry, destroy and then ascend? Like making the destruction of the city the final nail before rising?

The WTF?:
Did she just say "f**k it" to the mask and wig while in Nanda Parbat?

Does Malcolm have a twin? Or a transporter?
I thought Nanda Parbat was on the other side of the world. Even with supersonic travel, you're talking what...7-10 hours on a plane? Days are passing en route back and forth is all I'm saying.

Why didn't he just shoot them all in the legs during the Canary Cry?

Adorkification Moment:
Yarp!
