Also, rescuing a kid from a burning building? What, were there no cats in trees available?

Maybe we can have a reboot, and have Felicity become the Arrow, and Ollie is her sullen IT boy?

I am willing to jettison them both after tonight. Every scene with the two of them felt like the writers were phoning it in. Awful.

Arrow Character Rankings (in the order in which I want to see more of their faces next season)

She really was terrible this week.

I've never been attached to Hal. The only version I've ever seen be compelling is when he's the bad guy or the Spectre or New Frontier. I used to defend the character as an untapped concept, but I'm just not sure. Even the DC movie was really Kyle pretending to be Hal.

It's like they tried to direct that scene badly on purpose. I mean, really. They could have cut to him and just used her voice or something. Don't get it.

Newsflash: Felicity and Diggle are the best characters on this show. Digg. Let's just recast him as John Stewart and call it a day.

Ollie is really dumb! That's why he needs Digs and Felicity.

He has a huge head.

Ward is strange. He reminds me a lot of Taskmaster. Like he's just mimicking what he thinks are real emotions, because he's not capable of his own. He's creepy!

You realize she is wearing Simmons' jacket and Coulson is wearing Fitz's clothes, which is why they are so small on him? I figured people realized that.

Yeah, personal rant, I've never liked Maria Hill in the Movieverse, and it's because she's Fury's stooge, even more than Coulson. She is not a co-leader, she is a loyalist stooge.

No, these guys are insular. And the trained in isolation thing is a bit of a trope. I wish they'd copied Arrow. Arrow Island biz is way cool.

Me too.

I agree with you.

No, because nothing remotely interesting happened in that flashback! Now, if we'd actually seen Garrett training Ward to be a killer, it might have been.

Yeah, and Moondragon hates on Mantis for getting to be the Celestial Madonna.

Yeah, so vetted by HYDRA, and making Maria Hill look all that much more incompetent.

I think it's meant to be a little ambiguous.
