And it's badass
That seems
Like kind of an improbable twist
Well there's more to it than that
Originally they were all part of the Order of the Shield, which dates back to ancient history, and the current leaders were brought together after WW2 but had internal disputes and split into SHIELD for the allied powers, Hydra for the Nazi remnants and Leviathan for the Soviets, and over the years there was extensive infiltration between and amongst the three

I really hope Deathstroke isn't killed off at the end of this season because Slade is such a magnificent dick. Although I guess it'd be easy enough to bring him back of they did "kill" him.
Also, give Roy a costume already!

"The pilot takes place in and around New York City (which I don't think has been known about until now).
When we first find John, we learn he has voluntarily checked himself into a psychiatric clinic. He's haunted by an incident in which he lost a 9-year-old girl to a demon who has dragged her soul to hell. This incident has a significant impact on his life and it's hat is driving him. He checks himself out of the hosptial after six months to find something sinister is afoot in the realm of the supernatural.
John's a clever wise-ass. His business card reads "Exorcist, Demonologist and Master of the Dark Arts," but as he tells his doctor, he should replace "master" with "petty dabbler" because he hates to put on airs. He also doesn't like to talk much about his past; he masks his emotions with wry humor.
We won't see John in his classic trenchcoat right away, but he gets there.
An angel – Manny – has been assigned to John to help ease his soul into damnation. John hates angels.
Liv Parsons, a young woman who works at a rental car facility, gets caught up in John's world when she discovers something is after her. Liv's deceased father, Jasper, knew John and John owes a debt to him.
Papa Midnite – an imposing Cuban man who can dream the future – is ailing when we first find him. He's doing a lot of cocaine because he has to stay awake.
Expect to meet "Chaz," John's driver who is a tall, sensitive, quiet type yet is quite knowledgeable about the supernatural himself.
The pilot is brimming with possessions, ghosts (Liv discovers a way to see the dead) and demons and the story does an adept job at not losing its audience in the mythology. Liv is our conduit to John's world of rituals, pendants, black magic and more and it handles the exposition well.
The foundation is set for a long-lasting partnership between Liv and John. Now that she's aware of the world beyond ours, she wants to use her knowledge to help others. But is John willing to assist her?"

I don't think she's going to be Slade's daughter. He's not much older than her, and he's previously only mentioned his son Joseph (Jericho).

Hydra split off before WW2. It is the last remnant of the Spear in the East, which fell to darkness. Strucker travelled to the east during WWII and discovered Hydra, before taking over and reforming the organisation.

Stark was making weapons at the time, and Banner was intentionally designing the thing as a weapon to begin with. Tony isn't the kind of guy to cut corners or probably even make a mistake on it, so why should this be an issue?

I don't remember this. When?
Shortly after he met Oliver in the flashbacks.
I'm glad someone else remembered this
Well, I didn't remember, but after she talked about the sins of the father passing down to the son, I checked and tried to see if Slade had mentioned children of his.
I wonder if maybe that line wasn't referring to Oliver's family, and the Ravager thing is a red herring?

Presumably Tony will likely be part of why the Bomb did what it did instead of just, y'know, exploding, and is partially responsible for Hulk's existence

I'm calling it's Queen Sr.'s daughter out of wedlock.
Also,
Slade seems to be Grade A insane at this point. I liked the confession that he tried to just forget about the Island, and let bygones be bygones, but he literally has a hallucination of Shado showing up every 10 minutes telling him to kill Ollie horribly.

I kinda legit feel bad for him now
I was thinking that maybe being part of the plan to literally destroy half a city wasn't the only thing Oliver's father was complicit in, and that she might be a victim of that.
As for the second spoiler, I do feel sort of sad about the implication that every single evil, threatening thing Slade has done has been at the behest of a ghost Shado. If they keep the visual hallucinations up, it would be interesting to go back and rewatch the earlier episodes with them in mind.
I'm back from walking through rain, mud, and snow on a half hour of sleep to go see Captain America. I was worried that my stubbornness to go see it would make me too cranky and grumpy to enjoy it, but it did not, I enjoyed the hell out of it.

That seems
Like kind of an improbable twist
I didn't know that "SHIELD is Hydra" comes from the comics. That makes me feel a lot better about the whole thing.
and it makes me wish, very hard, that the show characters build a new, clean, SHIELD from the ground up.
Well there's more to it than that
And I tend to hear 616 Fury speak in David Hayter's voice anyway
