The review and the comments do a great job of articulating why this episode and season of Arrow are an absolute mess. I just want to express my frustration about how this one poorly done plot point-a forced, stupidly executed fracture of team Arrow-is destroying a once promising season of television.

This is great!

“I’d rather let a thousand guilty men go free than chase after them.”

If the democrats are Lisa Simpson, then it looks like history is about to repeat itself. Because who did America call in to recover from the catastrophic Trump presidency on the show? That is correct, President Lisa Simpson herself.

I...AM.....SAD

My main gripe about the episode is that Ray wandered into being captured without any plan, so I hope he does have something else going. Otherwise, that plot is not off to a good start.

During the Arrow/Flash Vandal Savage crossover, Dahrk had the best reaction to anything in Arrowverse history. When he was killing Oliver and Barry ran in and instantly stole Green Arrow from his grasp, Dahrk’s “Ha......what was that?!” is priceless. There was a little annoyance, but mostly he was amused and…

I was really bothered by what happened with Ray at the end of the episode. I usually advocate for watching Arrowverse shows for the characters (all great) over plot (often clunky). But Ray walking in and handing himself over to DD for zero reason really got to me.

I begin this with the caveat that I will not read the underlying Adorno article until I am done with work. Therefore, my assumptions may well be wrong. But:

I wish I could rec this idea more than once.........

Same here my friend, same here. In our house most Sundays the bacon pancakes flow freely and the song is loudly sung!

Jake is awesome. The main thing we all need to learn from him is:

Good Morning and thank you for the post. I have daily professional experience working with the Bill of Rights, and I think your interpretation is generous. A lot of Americans truly do not understand that free speech under the First Amendment only applies to actions by the government, and it is clear to me that there…

“I’m not pro-NRA, but I understand the important protections granted in our constitution. Unpopular ideas - even reprehensible ideas - should be stifled only by a lack of audience. When you create an avenue for free speech to be silenced, you lose control over what messages may be shut down.”

I read your comments below mine and thought: “Lost in Transposition is going to get a headache from this thread just as big as mine is right now.”

Respectfully, this has nothing to do with the First Amendment. Government is not allowed to censor ideas. Your fellow citizens can use every legal means to stifle ideas they don’t like all day long.

The First Amendment does not apply at all here. The First Amendment only applies to action by the government.

Mr. Glitch is responding correctly to all of the posts in this thread implying or stating that this is a free speech issue. It is not. The First Amendment free speech only applies to government action. People outside of government are free to ask for the removal of anything they see fit from a private business. If I…

There is no excuse to talk to anyone that way. And people saying what they do and do not want on TV is a perfect example of what the free market is.

My Sophomore year of high school we did Little Shop of Horrors. I cannot act at all, but I was asked to be in it for all the background singing necessary for this musical. Singing has always been one of my things, and I thought it would be fun to try something new.
