statsgirl February 8, 2018 Share February 8, 2018 "I want to be a part of your life but I have to keep this secret to protect you." On a show not known for subtlety, that had to be the worst anvil yet. 2 Link to comment
catrox14 February 8, 2018 Share February 8, 2018 I just can't believe this show is wasting Michael Emerson like this. 16 Link to comment
KenyaJ February 8, 2018 Share February 8, 2018 I would've been disinterested in these flashbacks at any rate because I don't want to see another flashback on this show unless it's about Diggle or Felicity. But knowing that Cayden dies in this episode makes these flashbacks seem even less necessary. The episode where you kill someone is too late to finally add characterization and rationale for their actions. I can't believe the show is doing this two weeks in a row. 5 Link to comment
insomniadreams88 February 8, 2018 Share February 8, 2018 It's ME's final episode, so I can't help but watch the sneak peek (even knowing it was coming, because of the reddit spoilers) and go, "Another person who's in a scene with Cayden who's not Felicity." Also, 100% agree with this: 3 minutes ago, catrox14 said: I just can't believe this show is wasting Michael Emerson like this. Link to comment
kes0704 February 8, 2018 Share February 8, 2018 I guess Michael Emerson gets the dubious honour of being added to the long list of good actors whose talents have been thoroughly wasted on Arrow. Not only did they saddle him with the league of underwhelming villains but they gave him a MYSON plot when the illegally detained by ARGUS / Helix one was right there. I simply do not care about any flashbacks to his now dead son because I have zero attachment to Cayden James in general. Plus, they’ve basically used the same story structure for two episodes in a row. I can’t believe they teased and held over the Vigilante and Cayden James reveals from S5 to S6 and they’ve both been so completely underwhelming. 11 Link to comment

Is Cayden James the worst villain that Arrow has had yet? I think so, I mean at least Damien Darkh managed to build an underground cornfield and Ra’s had all those candles. I get they are trying to setup a surprise villain but what a waste in the meantime. Edited February 8, 2018 by leopardprint 2 Link to comment
Guest February 8, 2018 Share February 8, 2018 IDK. I got pretty bored with Damien Darhk tbh. It was pretty repetitive after a while. Cayden James had potential simply because he was being played by ME but they really did waste him and they messed up by making it all a revenge plot over his son. Link to comment
Chaser February 8, 2018 Share February 8, 2018 I was interested in Cayden James because he was played by ME. had ties to Felicity and wasn't the typical Arrow action villain. He was something new. The writers just blew it. 11 Link to comment

Hmm, might be time to give those Person of Interest DVDs another spin. Yes, this looks like a sad waste of ME . Just imagine what he could have done with that motivation for his villain quest - it hurts. Link to comment
statsgirl February 9, 2018 Share February 9, 2018 From the clip, it looks like he was involved in some pretty shady and maybe dangerous hacktivist stuff. It seems to me that could have been more interesting than yet another (4th? 5th?) reprise of father/son stuff. 6 Link to comment
apinknightmare February 9, 2018 Share February 9, 2018 I think Cayden James is tiresome. I'm glad he's dying tonight. I just wish anyone other than Dicky 3-D was killing him. 5 Link to comment

insomniadreams88 February 9, 2018 Share February 9, 2018 Is that a phone on the desk? Are the newbies expecting calls not to their cells? That desk looks like it belongs in SCPD not a vigilante team base. 6 Link to comment
lemotomato February 9, 2018 Share February 9, 2018 I have to admit, this will be the first time I'm considering taking the newbies' side if their argument is to kill BS and OTA is against it. 8 Link to comment
insomniadreams88 February 9, 2018 Share February 9, 2018 The only thing I'll accept is if OTA isn't for just straight up killing BS while she's tied up or something since Lance and Thea seem to have her in a safe house? I'm hoping OTA wants to try to get information out of BS while NTA is just, "let's kill her. Now. Without talking at all. Just put a bullet in her head." Or maybe Dinah's going to want to kill BS the same way BS killed Vince. I do wonder if this means that NTA is responsible for what happens to Diggle. But if so, why would we ever be okay with NTA being part of the team again? The split would have to be permanent then. 1 Link to comment

Dinah already shoots her and basically leaves her to die from the sounds of it so I dont think Dinah cares about how she dies. Though I wonderd be able to withstand Dinahs cry since her hearing has to be modified to the point where her own cry doesnt cause her harm . Link to comment
Guest February 9, 2018 Share February 9, 2018 LMAO so this is where they make the newbies the ones in the right? I was expecting it to happen soon. Still, I'm never gonna side with the newbies, even if it is about BS, so they can stop trying to make the newbies happen. Hopefully it's just about OTA wanting to put her in prison but the newbies wanting to kill her. That would be fine. Link to comment

Yeah, this show has trained me to be suspicious of everyone, but I love Alena and Felicity's interactions so much. I'd rather that she stay good and work with Felicity at Helix Dynamics instead. But if she does turn out to be bad, I'll still enjoy seeing her and Felicity throw down with each other (on keyboards, LOL). As for 614, I don't care if NTA does want to kill BS. I will never side with them about anything, unless it's their plans to leave Star City for greener pastures. 4 Link to comment
