I think you've missed my point a little - we don't actually *know* why ARGUS had Cayden James locked up, other than the fact that Lyla told them he was a 'person of interest' and highly dangerous.

Agreed. The Colossal Colossus. Of Star City.

In fairness, she's significantly improved this season now that she has a little more to do than babble nerdily and wobble her voice when she's upset.

A) People who kill tons of people - terrorists, serial killers, etc - regularly go to maximum security prisons after a trial. That's what they're for. As someone else has now mentioned, there's even room for due process for metahumans now, given that Iron Heights has a metahuman wing.

Why would he wear a mask? He's a king, not a ninja.

Absolutely, and this is the thing: if you have respect for the characters you've created, in the situation you've placed them in, and the audience you've gathered to watch both, your go-to move should be to honour that respect.

I am in agreement. Start the party, I'll go get ice.

Aloe? Is it me you're looking for?

I'd agree with that if this was a character like, I dunno, Greg House, who stayed more or less the same over eight seasons. But Amell is constantly being asked to do new things, and has been consistently knocking every ball out of the park since the middle of season two.

Well done. 1000 Internet Points to you. Spend them wisely.

There's a big difference between understanding someone's behaviour and condoning it. I absolutely get why Dig might have hoped that his wife wasn't treading the same morally questionable ground as he and his big macho mates, and I absolutely get why Lyla, the professional spy and career soldier, would want to slap him…

*worried face* The way you say 'salmon ladder' makes it seem like you're talking about your penis. You're not, are you?

That's not so bad. Usually they only have enough story for twelve.

I think too many times, shows awkwardly rotate supporting cast members because of things outside their control, like people quitting. They don't realise that audiences today invest in the supporting cast as much as they do the protagonists, and they don't make allowances for that: that's why we had outrage at Laurel's…

I get what you're saying - and the T-sphere thing bothered me more than anything - but I think the more important point was to address Diggle's constant lack of balance with how he treats his wife and his best mate. That's been going on for a while now, on and off. It really feels like this season's mission statement…

I know, right?! I was like, IS NO ONE GOING TO MENTION THE COLOSSUS OF STAR CITY HOLDING ON TO BOTH HEROES WITH ONE ARM?!

I like that. Never occurred to me, but it's rock solid and brings her in on a decent story arc with an established antagonist.

Nonsense. If Rickards or Ramsey quit tomorrow, it'd be a hell of a bump in the road, but shows have survived worse. Without Oliver there is no Arrow. I get that these post-Buffy fandom arguments tend to centre around a lot of squeeing and I-can't-even-ing, but let's not kid ourselves - these are not ensemble dramas.…

I think it's because even Oliver doesn't know where they are.
