WHY ARE YOU NOT HELPING, THEA

This storyline is really making me hate the new team. They’re such whiny children. I really want to smack all of them and tell them to get over themselves.

This episode might have reached a new level of having Willa Holland as Thea do absolutely nothing. Her biggest scene I think was stopping William from playing with an arrow in the ArrowCave.

Also, you whiny fuckers? Team Original was right. There’s a nuclear bomb threatening the city. You work together to get rid of it, not run off to save just one person. Dinah can go suck it, hopefully offscreen.

I was actually expecting Alena to be the mastermind as Diaz didn’t strike me as someone who could tec-wiz the video and the Arrow picture in the first place.

I share your sentiments. I hope Team Not Arrow gets a good beating from OTA when Arrow returns.

The show almost always goes off the rails this time of year, and oooooh did it ever in this episode.

That was his best scene. He’s so good!

I still think she’s gonna be behind it all or she’s gonna have been working with Diaz. Alena doesn’t need to be in the bunker so there’s a reason why she’s there.

Another messy episode imo and what a waste of Michael Emerson. Only Arrow could take an Emmy award wining actor and give him nothing to work with. He managed to shine in some scenes, the one where he finds out about his son’s death was especially great, but overall they really messed up with his character.

I don’t think I can take another scene of team Not-Arrow telling team Original Sauce “just because we worked together this once it doesn’t mean anything changed.”

Why stick Kacey Rohl’s Alena in this episode and its flashbacks if not to make her the real villain behind it all? Diaz is a nobody, he’s filler with no setup here, but Alena at least has knowledge and connection to Caden James, and her morals are suspect. What a waste of an episode, I’m glad they did something to…

Michael Emerson is a treasure. That look of devastation when the ARGUS agent told him his son had died was so affecting.

I feel like the writers somehow got put into a corner last season and that Vigilante was really meant to be Chase all along but somehow someone got the “twist” bug and it all got screwed up- hence why the “mystery” of his identity carried over to this season.

I’ve been so distracted with how they’ve just sidelined Thea that id din’t really notice that they’ve ruined Lance as well. Might as well just stick them both in the same irrelevant storyline, I guess. Can barely remember it now, but they used to be the best supporting characters.

I cant figure out if the writers are purposefully making the “new team” as unsympathetic as possible on purpose or if its just terrible writing. I mean do the writers actually think that Wild Dog and Dinah arent ridiculous for getting upset and by tracked when they both put the team after themselves?

Honestly the entire episode just made me hate the new team even more. Dinah was just plain stupid during the entire episode she decided to try and save one man over the entire city. Rene honestly is just REALLY annoying with “hoss” this amd “hoss” that and then Curtis just seems lile an idiot that can only agree with…

The newbie storyline is gotten absurd.

This goddamn show man...Truthfully all the Arrowverse shows have varying levels of writing but they are all around the exact same level and have the exact same flaws on all the shows..But Arrow has no playfulness to save it, so its stupid moments stand out more.

I will say, an episode positive, how cute are married Oliver and Felicity? I’m really loving them this season. Their scene felt so sweet and natural and just really lovely.
