Oh yeah, was there every any convincing reason given as to why Oliver couldn't have told Team Arrow that he was double-crossing Ra's? I mean, he told Malcolm, who's the least trustworthy person on the show. Instead of it playing out the way it did, with the audience finding out (and knowing all along, let's be real)…

I mean, assuming Starling is supposed to be a stand-in for San Francisco, that's a 22+ hour plane trip, not accounting for supersonic Palmer tech.

Barry getting there is the least of it. I mean, Nanda Parbat is where, exactly? Tibet, right? When you think about the actual logistics of everyone going back and forth between Starling and League HQ it starts to feel like an Arrow math problem. Ra's, Oliver and Nyssa left sometime soon after Ra's poisons everyone in…

Yeah, that was a pretty underwhelming fight considering how well-staged and frankly operatic the mountaintop fight was at mid-season. Makes me wish they had somehow been able to flip it so that Ra's died on the mountain amidst cool visuals rather than, you know, on a bridge that's been blocked off with traffic cones.

Next season, please no more extended flashbacks that barely reveal any new information. Yeah, it's sad that Akio dies, but all the time we spent in China did was reveal the bioweapon's existence and that Oliver knows about it/is inoculated against it. It just dragged on and on with no real pay-off.

Ever since Russell Hantz lost to Natalie people seem to think that sitting back and letting the people self-destruct around them is an actual strategy. But when the time comes to make their case to the jury, and someone asks the inevitable question: "What did you actually do to get here other than just follow orders…

I think Mike thought that he had a really clever way to game the auction, but didn't think far enough ahead to realize that everyone was going to be able to see him betray them to their faces, and then thought he could fix it by saying "I was going to betray you guys, I got halfway through betraying you guys, but I…

Sure, it's a legit strategy, I just get annoyed with the super passive players who end up trying to explain their sub-Machiavellian strategy for the jury as basically, "I waited around and did my best not to be noticed."

It was so satisfying to see Carolyn make the right move here, especially since it meant Dan's exit. It felt like justice, considering how ridiculously out of touch Dan has been throughout the whole season (I still think about his claim that he "really knows how to talk to women" and have a little laugh). Still,…

Such a great, confounding episode. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Don never reconnected with any of the people from his advertising life and ended up a secret millionaire pumping gas in California as Dick Whitman. He needs the freedom that McCann would never be able to give him, the kind of freedom that only comes…

Oh, ok. I thought it might be something like that. I still don't know why it was so visible on Fame though. Thanks.

Which comes in part from there suddenly being hundreds of them. They were threatening when it seemed like every one of them was a match (or more than a match) for Oliver, but now they're just cannon-fodder.

The League of Assassins definitely suffers from Turok-Han syndrome: earlier in the season all it took was one of them to be a huge threat, and now Laurel, who could barely fight a few episodes ago, is taking them out on their home turf.

It was certainly decisive. I'm just not convinced it was the right move. Carolyn is a huge threat in this game: she's on a hot streak winning immunity challenges, and she's a cagey, strategic player. I feel like she would have been better off keeping Tyler around as an ally and known quantity and knocking out Dan so…

I mean, I'd prefer him to win over Dan, Rodney, or Will, but that doesn't make me a fan. To be frank, I haven't been a fan of any of the players from the original Blue Collar tribe, the guys especially. It's like they were cast out of a Big Book of Stereotypes.

As soon as Mike fell out of the immunity challenge, leaving Carolyn and Tyler, I thought for sure that Carolyn would give Tyler her immunity necklace and hang on to her hidden immunity idol. I mean, I don't really see the downside for her. She's been aligned with Tyler since the beginning, and she doesn't really want…

I mean, that goes without saying…

The wings? Or the idea in general?

Sure, Gold team/Blue Team, X-Men/New Mutants. Just anything to revitalize the concept.
