Abby's been trippin out about that hallucination she saw of infected Clarke..She thinks the Nightblood won't work and the Lexachip will kill her.
Abby just made Clarke a Nightbloods..So i imagine if the winner is not a Nightblood would be made one.
Roan didn't make sense..If Clarke became Commander she is his BFF this…

Different Universes…But your right Shield is probably worse.

Forgot to mention that Argus is now neck and neck with the DEO for the worst run organization.

AoS indeed operates on a much higher level than ALL the cw shows.

''it's about a non-canon woman having a chance to have agency and stand up to the leading man''
There are small minded people that still think like this but that's not the problem people have with Felicity.
As you said she is a non canon character…who has been given second billing behind the Green Arrow..Above other…

It happens once every season..When the writers overplay Diggles 'moral code' forgetting that he works for and is best friends with a murderer..
I suppose they both hold there significant others to higher standards than they do each other and especially in Oliver's case he holds Felicity on a pedestal

I dislike sometimes how reviewers always think there is this sinister subtext..Diggle's moral code is wonky due to poor writing..This happens at some point every season when Diggle just inexplicably starts overly judging someone's choices because he is the 'moral guy'
Oliver trusts Felicity as much or more than…

As annoying as some of the characters and motivations are i like the realistic and angled view on what peoples responses to that kind of crisis would be.

He got beaten up and never seen again in that episode when Oliver returned in Season 3.

The writers never really nailed Diggles Moral code..He works for a murderer but chastises his wife for rendition…I understood his anger at that, But every season there is a point where Diggle is overly judging someone with his 'moral code' and its unbelievably annoying.
Speaking of Writers the one for this episode…

I like Ward but his story is done. Evil Fitz offers more imo.

So if we had to vote on what characters to bring back to the real world..
Hope….Good Ward….Tripp….Evil Fitz/father?

This show man there is no let up in pace or quality and its been like this for the majority of the season..Its like staying hard for two days with no viagra.

It was too genuine not to be a bit of both.

Firstly…The hair…and that lone sideburn…They borrowed Barry's hair from Anime, Sasuke in particular.
KF wrecked Cisco..Yeesssh,,,Shit was pretty brutal.

Agreed…Also shout out to the simple vamp face prosthetics…There really is no difference between then and whatever they use for Lyra..(not to say it does not look decent).

But that's the beauty…Because the fake shark was so shit it made Spielberg and everyone else up there game and have to be more creative which elevated and made a better film.

It's a shame Ravi does not have that swag with Peyton.
Lena's eyes are everything ever,
Kara should have told Lena the truth at the end.

Point taken about today's effects most of the superhero hero shows can have extremely good effects especially considering there budgets…but
The Buffy vamp dust effects stand up to this day imo. I have huge respect for the old school effects like motion capture, miniatures and good old prosthetic's..
Robocop, Jurassic…

Shippers and The CW..
