Blaming OTA for every little slight, pretending like they did nothing wrong and acting like petulant children. I hope they all go away. Lance is an idiot but, at least they told him. I fully expected they'd keep him in the dark about BS killing Vince...actually executing is the correct term. Speaking of BS, oh look at that redemption she hesitated...of course she's a meta that can blow people into walls and James was standing right next to her. Whatever show. Not enough OTA or really anything interesting for me, the Flashbacks were dull. Sadly I really ended up liking Vince, he's better than the Noobs.

Lantern7 February 2, 2018 Share February 2, 2018 (edited) My basic reaction? “I’m going to kill every last one of them.” “Great, another Canary got sour.” “Starting with Laurel.” “You have my attention. And I’m smiling.” Another week, another series of escalating fuckups, and Vig pays the price. Canary Cry to the ear is a really bad way to go. Shit, getting killed by (a) Laurel sucks. In other news, I’m thinking she’ll kill Thea to “replace” her as Quentin’s substitute daughter. Only bright side would be EBR getting third billing. I don’t think that direction is obvious, but aside from showing Thea helping out at the office, what else has she done lately? My stance on “Broken Team Arrow” stands. I don’t want them getting killed in humiliating manners. I will concede that Dinah led with her heart, and Vince the Vig paid the price. Bright side, was that Captain Singh in the first flashback? He barely exists on The Flash. Edited February 2, 2018 by Lantern7 6 Link to comment

Popular Post insomniadreams88 February 2, 2018 Popular Post Share February 2, 2018 You know what surprises me? How Arrow manages to find ways for me to hate the newbies even more with every episode. I'm actually kind of impressed. I don't know what's worse, Rene's digs about the team, Curtis in general or now Dinah's attitude post-Vince's death. (Although, let her kill Black Siren.) I never want them to rejoin the team. Ever. I want them to leave town, this Earth, anything. Have the Legends leave them back in time somewhere, without any weapons/tech/etc. I'm all for keeping Alena and getting rid of Curtis permanently. Let her be T-sphere operator. And then Felicity can have a friend I actually like, especially after it seems like they're trying to make it seem like Felicity and Curtis are still friends - their convo as they walked into Helix - despite his digs at her. I hate it. (FYI, I will be so mad if it turns out Alena's playing Felicity. I don't think she is, but if she is... I will be so mad.) Give me more married Olicity talking about their honeymoon and being married and hugging in the bunker. For every newbie scene we have to tolerate, I expect an Olicity one. And every time one of the newbies dares say something bad about OTA/some stupid comment like Rene's, we get 3 Olicity scenes. Way too much Dinah/Vince. Way too much Dinah. But even though Vince tried to kill Oliver last year, I'd still take him over the newbies. At least Thea's off the "Black Siren can be redeemed/Laurel!" train. I wish this would be enough to get Lance off it, but I doubt it. No, but seriously, I can't see any argument for a redemption for BS because there is NO REASON why she couldn't have killed Cayden instead of Vince. None whatsoever. She's powerful enough to kill a guy who heals, but she can't kill a hacker because ... No, really, someone tell me why. As for the "evidence" sent to Cayden ... I feel like he should've gone over it and figured out it was faked? I guess we can blame his grief for that? 25 Link to comment
calliope1975 February 2, 2018 Share February 2, 2018 Wow. That was terrible. The focus on the noobs who have given me zero reason to ever want to see them again, let alone be on their side or want them back with OTA was an interesting choice by TPTB. In the AU show in my head, Vince is alive, the noobs all died, and he and Alena may start awkwardly flirting. I don't believe for one second that Cayden James, who ARGUS had to keep in an actual metal box because of his capabilities, who set up Helix, and who has taken the city hostage electronically wouldn't verify that the footage he saw was real. All of that said, I did get an adorable handsy Olicity scene (sadly not like that) and OTA being the BAMF's that they always are. You get one compliment, Show. One. 17 Link to comment

None of these storylines make any sense? Quentin has only ever seen Laurel murder people - unless he's having a mental break, he has no reason to believe his daughter is anywhere inside this chick. The newbies are all acting like the wronged party. Rene making PTSD jokes as if Oliver's the one who tried to send HIM to jail? Who came up with this? Curtis's continued idiotic commentary over being single as if he wasn't the reason that he's single? Dinah and the other two getting pissy and putting Vince over the city that Cayden has been bleeding dry to the tune of $10M a day? And these are supposed to be heroes?

Guest February 2, 2018 Share February 2, 2018 (edited) I don't even have much to say about this? It just felt a mess. It was boring. The flashbacks always disturb the flow of an episode and making them about Dinah made it worse somehow. I can't stand her. And JH just cannot carry an episode. She's not good at all. That last scene especially was painfully OTT. All the newbies can leave. Rene's attitude is beyond saving now and the way he talks to Felicity is awful. He's so rude. Can they all just die?

Primal Slayer February 2, 2018 Share February 2, 2018 I felt like it was an ok episode but like with most things in this show it failed in the emotional aspect because they failed to bring any of this about beforehand. This is episode 12! All this build up to Vince should've been done since at least 6x09. He should've been helping Dinah at least without her knowing. Black Siren... Loved it but again....could've been soooo much better if A. this had been her first REAL kill of the season and B. If they built up her relationship with Cayden some more. Cayden lost a son, she lost a father, they could've had some morbid father/daughter type relationship going on. Help us understand why she is really helping him outside of the "you saved my life so im going to follow you around until you die" Caydens team is slowly crumbling from the inside without his knowledge but we've had literally 1 scene where all of them are in the same scene together but they never even spoke to each other outside of Cayden. Why are they all together? Do they even like each other? Do they even know each others names? If you have a team good or bad they have to have some sort of connection and common thread outside of "im evil, duh!" NTA...the writers are really doing them no favors and I hope they know it because they have the team fail at every.single.thing it is so bad, embarrassing, cringe-worthy, and maddening. The writers arent even giving the team a fighting chance! Vince dying couldve been the straw that broke the camels back. This is where the team could've REALLY split into two, one half ready to stop playing nice and the other still doing Olivers partial light and love. I dont know why we had to wait half a season for the season to really get started. Why must you do this to us MG? 2 Link to comment
Mrs. de Winter February 2, 2018 Share February 2, 2018 Thea needs to purchase Quentin one of those new lifelike robots with Laurel's face. I am sure it would be just as convincing in acting as if it has real emotions and bonus - it would not be a cold blooded killer! The only way this Dinah crap will be worth it is if she kills BS and dies in the process. Let them scream each other to death. Or they can both leave town together (preferably taking Curtis and Rene with them). Just get rid of them all somehow - permanently. 11 Link to comment

Popular Post KenyaJ February 2, 2018 Popular Post Share February 2, 2018 (edited) So help me understand. Dinah decided that saving her boo was more important than saving the city. And Curtis and Rene decided that saving Dinah’s boo was more important than saving the city. And when he died anyway, it was Oliver’s fault? I can’t — with them, with this storyline, with these characters’ continued existence on this show. They are worthless, petty, spiteful, arrogant, immature, and not at all heroic. They don’t give a shit about the city and they don’t lift a finger for anything unless it’s of personal importance to them. I don’t know why the writers decided to write them this way, but they have ensured that I never ever want these people on Team Arrow again. Also, focusing the episode (and flashbacks!) on two people whose relationship I didn’t care about at all was a winning strategy. Not. I’m not even going to talk about Quentin, because I can’t believe the show is doing this to him. It’s just tragic. What a snoozefest. Thank god for Alena. I love her and I’m always so happy to see her turn up. Can 620 be a bottle episode about Oliver and Felicity’s honeymoon? Bad guys htch some dastardly plan in Aruba and hijinks ensue.

And while there is logic behind Alena being the string puller, like knowing everyone's secrets and even likely knowing how to track the team to the Island once Chase went there (Oliver doesn't cover his tracks I'm sure) but there are also plot holes like she could have just left him in that box to rot at ARGUS and Cayden's son was killed with the intent to frame Oliver way before Felicity was doing anything more than just dabbling in Helix, using that USB drive full of info. I think it might have been around the time when Oliver was off in Hub City when Alena reached out to her, but if this was always the plan, it's damn convoluted and I still don't know to what purpose she'd be doing any of it.

Popular Post JJ928 February 2, 2018 Popular Post Share February 2, 2018 (edited) Dinah should have told Rene and Curtis to go w/Oliver and attempted the rescue alone, because that bomb will kill everyone if it goes off. Instead, she threw a fit when Oliver wanted to get the weapon that could wipe out the city instead of her bf. In season 3, when Felicity wanted to save Oliver, Ray told her they had to save the city, she didn't throw a fit. Ray continued his work on the serum and she donned the ATOM suit and got him herself. Dinah put Vince not only above the team but the whole city, and when given the opportunity to rethink that, she still chose him. She has a sonic cry, she could have cried all those bad guys, she didn't need those two but Oliver did. Edited February 2, 2018 by JJ928 32 Link to comment

They choose going to get Vince over a bomb threatening the entire city (including Vince, so, you know).

tennisgurl February 2, 2018 Share February 2, 2018 (edited) I just have no idea what they are doing with the Noobs. They are just so intensely bitter, spiteful, incompetent, stupid, and just plain mean that I have no clue how we are supposed to want them back with OTA. Previously I thought Dina might be alright, but blaming Oliver for Vince? Yeah, shut up. Just...shut up. I cant even pick their bitchiest moment, but I think Rene and his "this bunker is giving me PTSD" crack. Rene was the one betrayed Oliver (more than once!) and he thinks he gets to act like its SUCH a hardship to hang around OTA? Plus, Oliver has actual PTSD, so fuck off, dude. Did they tell the actors to project constant aggression around OTA? Because it is SUPER offputting,especially as OTA seems totally chill towards them. Of course when I actually start to like Vince, he dies pointlessly to fuel boring Dinas story. First Rory, now Vince? Its like this show has an amazing ability to write characters who are actually interesting, and then shutter them off to focus on the worst characters ever. However, if this is the wake up call that Quentin needed to see that Black Siren is NOT laurel, then at least something good came out of all this. He was acting like such a moron, I actually cheered when Thea admitted what she got up to. Things are going to get REALLY awkward at the office between Dina and Quentin after this. "She looks like my daughter! She wants to be a hero!" "She made me watch as she turned my boyfriends brain into soup." "...but her eyes!". Can we just get more OTA and married Olicity cute times and competence? Please? Or, could we get more time with Ragman, Roy, Helena, Nyssa, Vince, Modern Vixen, Tatsu, Slade, Lyla, a resurrected Floyd Lawton or Laurel, Alena, or literally any person who are not named Rene, Curtis, or Dina. Seriously, there are so many other costume types they could have as reoccurring or even main characters, and yet we get these three stooges. Edited February 2, 2018 by tennisgurl 20 Link to comment

thuganomics85 February 2, 2018 Share February 2, 2018 (edited) Hey, they bring back flashbacks! And... it is to show how Dinah and Vince first met and why she felt guilt for his initial "death", since she was the one that push him to keep doing their undercover mission, even after they knew their target was suspicious of an undercover agent. Yeah, not exactly gripping stuff there. At least there was a Singh appearance! So, Team Arrow already finds out about Vince and sure enough, the show just blows past the whole "Team Noobs kept this from them. Even though they are all about the trust, honesty, and respect!" aspect, and even almost treat it comical. Fuck you, show. But, anyway, Vince downloads all of Cayden's special files and gets it to Felicity and Alena (yay!), but gets kidnapped because Cayden isn't a fucking idiot. So, this fractures the group (again), as Dinah leads Team Noobs to save her beau, leaving Oliver and Diggle to be the only two to try and get the bomb, since Team Arrow apparently are the only ones who actually care about the city out of this group of "heroes." In the end, nothing works. The bomb is back in the wind and Vince? Well, Dinah gets to watch him die at the scream of Black Siren. How's the whole "doing our own thing" working out for y'all, noobs? But, hey, now this has made Dinah all angry and she's going to go a vengeful rampage, now. That's fun, right? Right? Meanwhile, we get to continue watching poor Paul Blackthorne and Willa Holland do their best with the material they got, as Quentin continues his quest to "save Laurel", only for Thea to have to be the to tell him "Dude, she totally just screamed Vince's brains out!" This whole thing is stupid. This feels like a story that would have made way more sense if this was Original Laurel and she was brainwashed or some shit. But she is another Laurel from an entirely different universe. She isn't your daughter, Quentin. This isn't healthy. It's gotten to the point that my hatred for Rene grows every time he sneers "hoss" to Oliver. Almost wish Oliver would quit being mature here. Maybe during the next crossover, he can get all mouthy with the Legends, leading to Mick punching him in the throat. Really, what is the purpose of the Dragon? Cayden, Anatoly, and even Black Siren are serving their purposes, but his role could be done by any regular old henchman. Seriously though, can Alana just stay? She is way more awesome on her worst day then the noobs are on their best one. Plus, Kacey Rohl can act circles around them too, although to be fair, the writing is probably what is really hurting the others' performances.

I don’t know why the writers decided to write them this way, but they have ensured that I never ever want these people on Team Arrow again. Also, focusing the episode (and flashbacks!) on two people whose relationship I didn’t care about at all was a winning strategy. Not. I’m not even going to talk about Quentin, because I can’t believe the show is doing this to him. It’s just tragic. What a snoozefest. Thank god for Alena. I love her and I’m always so happy to see her turn up. Can 620 be a bottle episode about Oliver and Felicity’s honeymoon? Bad guys htch some dastardly plan in Aruba and hijinks ensue. The writers owe it to us after tonight’s show. What you described for 620 is exactly what I want! 4 Link to comment
Guest February 2, 2018 Share February 2, 2018 Alena's gonna be working for Cayden, isn't she? I feel like there's gonna be some twist there. Link to comment
tennisgurl February 2, 2018 Share February 2, 2018 I am extremely torn. I am really proud of how much Oliver has grown and matured over the years, and how he has become a real hero instead of the unstable killing machine we met in season 1. On the other hand...season 1 or 2 Oliver would have shot an Arrow into Rene after his first screw up... 21 Link to comment
ladylaw99 February 2, 2018 Share February 2, 2018 I can'believe I am saying this but if this is all they got for Quinton I rather he leave the show, because tonight was pathetic. 1 Link to comment

The focus on the noobs who have given me zero reason to ever want to see them again, let alone be on their side or want them back with OTA was an interesting choice by TPTB. In the AU show in my head, Vince is alive, the noobs all died, and he and Alena may start awkwardly flirting. That would be a thousand times better than what we’re in for now. Does Team Whiny Babies realize that not only does CJ have a bomb that is going to kill everyone in Star City, but he is also bleeding the city dry of the money it needs to pay its employees (like, say, holier than though cops, Dinah), keep necessary services running, and probably fund programs designed to help the less fortunate citizens of Star City? And, also, the giant bomb. I don’t think that can be stressed enough. Is Dinah’s boyfriend more important than all of those people? Assholes. They might have stood a chance of getting that bomb tonight if there’d been five people at that warehouse instead of two. Edited February 2, 2018 by Hiveminder 8 Link to comment
