Guest February 7, 2017 Share February 7, 2017 A and B teams make sense. The team is definitely overcrowded but it has been for a while now. Am I the only one who thinks they should get rid of Curtis? IDK, I liked him better when he wasn't on the team. I don't know if he really fits. Unless Felicity left the team/show but I don't think that's gonna happen. We're stuck with Tina for good as they suddenly can't make a GA show without BC, even though they've been doing it since the beginning. And given how hard they've been pushing Wild Dog, I have a feeling he's sticking around too. So I'm not sure where that leaves things.

apinknightmare February 7, 2017 Share February 7, 2017 I think Curtis is the most expendable too, although if they do separate to A and B teams, then surely someone will need to be on comms for the Bs? So that makes...no one leaving. Unacceptable! 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3338-spoiler-discussion-thread/page/1340/#findComment-2967049

Sunshine February 7, 2017 Share February 7, 2017 Curtis may be the most expendable but if he's coming into his own in 5B what is the likelihood of them writing him out this season? 5.10 was him hitting bottom and bouncing back after a pep talk from Rene. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3338-spoiler-discussion-thread/page/1340/#findComment-2967072

Starfish35 February 7, 2017 Share February 7, 2017 I think they've always had about 7-8 series regulars per season. It's just that early on most of those regulars weren't on the team. Now it seems like everyone, other than Quentin, is on Team Arrow. I think that's something the show has lost, starting after Moira was killed, that balance between Oliver's personal life and his life as the Arrow. They've tried to address it in the last couple of seasons by the mayor thing, but I don't think it's as effective as it was in the early seasons. 12 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3338-spoiler-discussion-thread/page/1340/#findComment-2967083

Could go that way but I think Laurel was more driven by BTS than what was happening on screen. There's a reason her masked identity is basically interchangeable. Not saying he won't be gone but just because we see him as expendable doesn't mean the show does.

Sunshine February 7, 2017 Share February 7, 2017 D.C. Access makes it sound like 5.12 is Felicity/Curtis/Rory & Lance/Rene. Are the other 3 just muscle? 5.13 Highlights Rene. 5.14 Sounds like girls, girls, girls. If Oliver isn't featured maybe that's why they are really good. 5.15 is probably a return to Oliver so I'm sure it'll be exceptional.

shadow2008 February 7, 2017 Share February 7, 2017 11 hours ago, Starfish35 said: I guess I'm not following - sorry. How does being a member of Team Arrow reduce her? I wouldn't argue that it reduces Felicity - why would it reduce Dinah? Felicity is the alpha female of this show. Of course, no matter how crowded the Arrowcave gets, she will always get her due but even in her case, I would argue that her arcs aren't particularly well-written. They generally tend to fizzle out without a lasting impression on her character or the story as a whole. Now back to the Black Canary conundrum. If the last 3 and a half seasons of Arrow are anything to go by, a full-time Black Canary will always be marginalized and reduced to just another member on Oliver's team - and that simply doesn't do the character justice. That's why she's better served in a recurring capacity because it would give the writers a chance to pretend that she has other things going for her (e.g. building her own superhero network, travelling the world to receive training from the best MMA experts, etc.) besides her role as a member on Team Arrow without spending huge amounts of time on it. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3338-spoiler-discussion-thread/page/1340/#findComment-2967233
