Because they didn't ask the actress to play drama.

The amazing Arrow writers who created this version of Green Arrow and Flash are also the same people that mutilated Felicity (and Atom and Merlyn and Roy and Sara on and on).

I'd like to applaud your assessment of Iris because you nailed it. But what's the point in discussing how to do a proper story when the Internet always falls back on the obnoxious excuse of: "But in the comics then…."

Ugh. In an attempt to be politically correct you have no idea how demeaning and trivial you are being.

AoS barely even qualifies as "supplemental material" because anyone starting the show now would only be confused and annoyed by the stuff from Agents of SHIELD.

Can a show that so few people care about really be "leading the way"?

Yup. I know that the video creators will say otherwise, but not every gay guy is funny.

Nyssa. The only reason to still watch Arrow.

This show demonstrated some very emotional moments between Barry and Papa Joe that felt 100% earned which is why so many of us adore the Barry/Joe relationship. But you can't have it both ways and claim that "Joe is Barry's Dad but Iris is NOT his sister".

Is blood relation really the only thing that should deter two people from hooking up? Brad and Angelina have adopted kids as well as natural kids. So, in 10 years then are you really going to feel it would be perfectly normal for the parents to start pairing them off because "they're not blood so its all good".…

Keep up to what? Just because the character improved doesn't mean the actor retroactively is no longer responsible for the Viewers lost.

In this rapidly changing society where "everything twisted is normal" then have we already gotten to the point where reserving your daughter to marry the "son" you raised is supposed to be acceptable?

I'm sure the answer is linked with the Problem where every good show is crippled by a really really obnoxious female character that destroys the flow of almost every episode. Skye. Iris. Laurel (and now Felicity).

Sorry Cap, but that excuse is for the FaceBook crowd where people don't know what to say and so they fall back to lame excuses.

I stopped watching last year and I think I'm fine with pretending that Emily standing over her in a mental institution was the end of the entire series.

It is I, Matthew Patel. Consider our fight… BEGUN!

What actually was he first incarnation of the League of Assasins? Ra's has always been Arabic but in the cartoons, Dark Knight, Arrow and the comics I've read then it's always been Ninjas. Dopey, Derrrpy, and easily killable Ninjas.

When you are unsure of what to say then I recommend you just read the tattoos all over your body.

They started off as a four quadrant show. Superheroes. Unique Storytelling. Action. Handsome over-25 cast. Romance.
