For an episode with a lot of emotional highpoints, Oliver telling Dig "Your brother's dead. I think you killed him." Absolutely. Gutted. Me.

But Roy's disfigured hologram made it!

Ray: Felicity's not my fiancee, Anna is my fiancee. But Anna is dead. But Kendra is my fiancee.

And Oliver and Sara have teams to lead, Dig has a wife and child to get back to, and Ray's just happy to be included. Thea is the one who doesn't have something really concrete waiting for her (except being a kick-ass vice-mayor)

All I can think about during the Laurel scenes is "Hey! Barry's got an extra one in his basement!"

And as soon as he announced it to Oliver some rando jumped out of the shadows and tried to shoot him in the face, as is Star City tradition.

It was a place they all created to find each other again!

I just want General Washington to sweep in and take the prison for everything it's worth.

I thought it was supposed to be weird as shit and disorienting. Like, Bayley's just killed a person and been given a ton of anti-anxiety medication. He's probably starting to trip and the guard just keeps saying darker and darker stuff. It was the car ride from hell.

I thought it was maybe Alex leaving those notes everywhere?

I think Daya was meant to be an echo of Bayley. Both weren't immediately connected to the situation, but they became deadly due to forces out of their control. But, just as if Daya pulls the trigger, they still have responsibility in the end for the what they do in those situations.

I completely agree that it's Caputo's fault for not getting more information, I'm just lamenting that so many things broke in the system that the inmates, who had valid complaints about the guards and would be willing to be agreeable if it meant those guards would be gone, didn't have anywhere to voice their

I think part of the problem is that Caputo, like Linda from Purchasing, has been divorced from the actual running of the prison this season and doesn't know how much the inmates hate the new guards. In the first episode where Piscatella appears, he blocks Red's access to Caputo. He's been keeping Caputo away from any

I find Piscatella to be one of the saddest characters on the show. As a minority discriminated against, you would think that he out of all the guards would be in a unique position to empathize with some of the women, but no, he just doubles down on the racism and the fascism - probably because he's heard comments like

I actually find McCollough to be one of the worst. When she suspects Humphrey is raping Maritza, she puts it in terms of date rape at a frat house, where all the brothers are complicit. She totally has the perspective and knowledge to not only understand that what Humphrey is doing is wrong, but that all the other

But he ends it by saying "she doesn't text much" with a weird look. I think Coates lied about the trucker girlfriend part so he could get romantic advice from Bayley without getting in trouble. He says that their schedules don't overlap anymore, which is how Tiffany got away from him last season.

I agree with you that this show looks like trash, but I would respectfully disagree that the murder is unsolved. There's a guy rotting in prison for it right now. It's just always been unclear whether Knox and her boyfriend were also involved (I may be biased here because I think the prosecutor was absolutely insane

I need a scene of Fusco talking to the Machine by the finale. Think of the nicknames!

I loved how enthusiastic TM 2.0 was. They were basically cosplaying Finch, Reese, and Root at a point.
