There are many frustrations in this season of Arrow, but this review nails the biggest one. Oliver grew so much last season, one of the things that made last year great. He learned to work with a team, and to not take every bit of guilt as his own personal burden. He realized he was not the monster Chase made him out…

Ha drugs are really the only way to explain the character assassination happening this season. To be honest I wouldn’t be too mad at all 3 being killed off in an epic episode.

Because some people are determined to hate Felicity no matter what

Oliver is the only character who has earned the right to act as stupid as he is acting..Dig used to be the man but in this episode i just wanted to slap his smug newly NTA championing face.

I was hoping we would find out that Diggle, and maybe NTA, were dosed, too. I think it’s the only way to save the Diggle story now. I don’t really care about NTA, I hope Rene never returns from whatever out of state hospital he’s in, and the others can go with him. The writers have ruined those three so badly there is…

This episode was awesome! Probably my favorite of the season. Finally an episode that comes out “Pro Oliver”. I loved that Lance and Felicity had Oliver’s back. Almost cheered when Lance said NTA, John, etc. were projecting their own issues onto Oliver... Thank you!

This seems a bit revisionist. Oliver was depending on Felicity’s “tech wizardry” as early as episode three. And I’m not sure what kind of plan a non-drugged Oliver could have come up with that would have seen him taking down an entire precinct of armed cops without at least Dig as backup.

I really, really liked this episode (with the exception of Oliver’s final decision). Great action sequences, excellent callback to Felicity and Oliver’s zipline in season 1, Quentin finally had some stuff to do outside of the Black Siren nonsense, and Chase was great. Too great, maybe — he put into clear contrast what…

Just don’t think about it too hard, and it might be best to kind of stand back and squint.

I get her running to the police station in this instance - she’d just Parent Trapped Diggle earlier that day, so the time that she’d have to spend convincing him that this call wasn’t another attempt at getting him to come back to the team (because even though I know he’d run to get Oliver most of the time, I would…

I really have no idea how he arrived at ‘I need to be alone’ from everything that happened on his bender. The entire thing looked like it was leading to a ‘We need to get the band back together’ moment but somehow Olivers takeaway is the exact opposite from what seems both the most logical and practical.

I actually really enjoyed this episode. Probably my fave episode after 6x04 tbh. It was fast paced and about characters I actually like. Feels like a novelty this season. I might even rewatch!

That was bad. I am very much over the everyone against Oliver for moronic reasons plot, Katie Cassidy is just as terrible of an actress as evil Laurel as she was when she was good Laurel, and Diaz is a total nothing of a villain.

I don’t and probably never will have the energy to watch it again, but has Diggle really been the voice of caution this season? That seemed like a whole bunch a bullshit to me because as far as I’ve been watching he and Oliver have been in sync with their big decisions. I didn’t like this episode at all to be honest.…

why has no one brought up Artemis to justify Oli being paranoid about the non OG members

If you take out the surprisingly emotional Diggle/Oliver bromance punch out (and Felicity’s disgust at having to break them up to remind them that a mediocre villain has succeeded in taking over Star City, which has become as ridiculous as the dead mayors plot device) what a crap episode.

Stephen Amell using his best “WTF?” face in response to the writers forcing David Ramsey to spew all that character assassination made it go down marginally smoother.

I thought the Digg/Oliver stuff was well acted, but god, what an absolute mess of a storyline to pile on top of the other messes. I’ve been invested in Oliver for six years now and at least two or three times a season he makes me want to turn off the TV out of sheer frustration over his idiocy. But this year he’s at…

Add to Oli before saying “Its just a costume, what does it matter?”

You know what I find amusing about Quentin? Here we have him, basically, forcing some girl who looks like his dead daughter to change who she is and take her place. Meanwhile, back in season 4, he was ready to kill his actual daughter when she came back to life, albeit less than human.
