I'm picturing a sort of Faith pretending to be Buffy when they swapped bodies: "You can't do that. It's wrong!" and then rolling her eyes. Great.

It's just good sense! Yes I know even in that show people come back, I'm just sayin' . Everyone knows she's dead. Black Canary had a statue and everything. 8 Link to comment

leopardprint February 12, 2018 Share February 12, 2018 (edited) I’m assuming that the Civil War storyline as well as the BS stuff ends around 6x17 since that’s when S5 started jettisoning the stupid and pointless filler storylines. Maybe that one random spoiler about a regular dying was not CJ but Rene. Also, I’ve missed a few episodes, but did the FBI agent peace out? Has she even been filming?

And he says it to an empty room because everyone has better things to do with their time than visit his stupid ass. OTA should be out, having a nice welcome dinner with Roy at that time. That would be awesome. If there is any reconcilliation (blergh) and they make OTA/Oliver grovel before the horrible noobs, there will hell to pay. I`d rather have BS join the team as some weird frenemy thing. 3 Link to comment

Dude, you can't get pissed someone spied on you for a good reason and then spy on them to find someone you want to murder and also maintain the self-righteous moral high ground! Especially if you spied first and later manipulated a medical device to do so. The writers can't honestly still believe there's any coming back from this for NTA, right? I seriously can't think of villain I've hated worse than I do NTA. At least the villains don't spend literally all their time talking about their moral superiority while being absolute dicks.

Prometheus told her enough, paired with the fact that Quentin has been giving her slide shows about Laurel....it shouldn't be that hard. They look at her dna? It'll look exactly like Laurels. They ask her something only Laurel would know? She claims she is traumatized after being held captive for 2 years. But we know the likelihood of the show going deep into every nook and cranny is slim to none. Plus if OTA/NTA try to blow her cover...well...she knows their dirty little secrets that she could easily blurt out. Link to comment
JJ928 February 13, 2018 Share February 13, 2018 Wow. I missed a lot! I can't comprehend how the writers think that team assholes will ever be redeemed to fans. To write these three knowingly cause Digg (or any OTA, Thea or Lance) physical pain, over a vendetta, is unforgivable. I loved Slade, I think what he did was unforgivable, but I still enjoy him. But I can also fanwank his behavior to a certain extent because of the mirakuru. But Dinah, Renee, and Curtis have no excuse other than the fact that they're a bunch of brats. I just wonder if the writers believe fans will forgive them, or if there's another purpose to these three being so awful. Maybe not all three make it to next season (one can pray)? Also, I am still team no redemption. Nothing up to this point makes me think Siren is gonna be redeemed. I do think whatever her endgame ends up being is meant to torture Lance, and I can even see him dying this year. That said, I have no interest in this LL being anything but evil. I'd prefer they find a way to have the Legends save her and bring E1 LL back, if that means we can get rid of team assholes. I don't think there has been a character or villain who I've disliked more than NTA, and that's saying something. Right now Barry is looking real good in comparison to me. 7 Link to comment

I forgot if Laurel was an ADA when she died or she was quitting TA so she could go be an ADA again? 1 When Samanda Watson brought charges against Oliver, she handed over the case to the DA since it all happened in Star City and we haven't seen her since (outside of some fun promo for her part in Black Panther). But at the time when last we saw her, I thought they indicated that when the actual prosecution started, she'd be back to see it happen. Or at least that had been my impression. I suppose it is possible that their plans changed and they decided to just use the local guy. The actress might be too busy to get back for Arrow right now. I do hope we eventually learn more about her and her motives. And I'd think they'd need her or another FBI person to finish off the Rene testifying thing. 4 hours ago, Morrigan2575 said: Just did a reread. Rene leaves town to heal.
