Honestly if it weren't for wanting to keep things flowing correctly with Flash and Legends to complete the DC universe, I would totally drop Arrow. Show is just cringeworthy more often than not at this point. Yeah, it is slightly better than last season because the team dynamic is stronger, but episode to episode it just really isn't enjoyable anymore. I miss the tone of the first two seasons so damn much.
:Yolo:How could you
Next Flash episode would have been perfect with Barry being on Earth 2 and them being short handed on Earth 1.

Roy and the Central City gang would be a lot of fun to see.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Id like to see him as Arsenal on Legends season 2.
Loved the episode.
Most plot development than any other arrow episode !
Oliver told the girl in the flashback, thea went to comma, roy was back and cleaned his name, felicity father, felicity is now fuck yeah felicity on palmer tech, mr terrific used one of his terrific balls, nissa escaped, oliver now wants to kill malcom.
Like more stuff happened on this episode than on the first half of the season =P

Obviously the reason for arrow's decline is the loss of detective lance.
Random thoughts:
-Please no more leg/standing jokes. 1 an episode might be bearable but there were like 3 here.
-The jailbreak was both overly complex and too simple at the same time.
-Need more Roy flips.
-Episode had my favorite thing where a character gives an underwhelming speech and is praised greatly (I get why this happens though, still funny to me).
-Love how everyone reacted to Ollie shooting Roy in the shoulder. He's the green arrow! I trust him to take a non lethal shot.
Overall, I enjoyed this episode.

Yep, this. Arrow is a total shitshow, but because of the connections between those CW shows I'm basically just watching it out of habit.

It must suck being stuck watching a show you don't even like.

None of the shows are even that essential to one another. So long as you accept that the other show exists the crossovers still make perfect sense.
Yep, which is why I'm always confused on why some say they "have" to watch Arrow/Flash/Legends/etc in order to keep up. They don't really impact each other, plot wise, much at all. At worst, all someone will be is little confused on who some of these "new" characters are during cross-overs.
A show has to really piss me off for me to stop watching halfway. I sat through the entirety of Dexter because I wanted to finish what I started.

It make no sense to watch the show if you don't like it .
There really not that connected other than few easter eggs and cross over eps .
Also the show is not as bad as some people want to make it out to be .
Hell Legends even less connected since it take place during different time periods and that can always change.

It's their way of saying they don't like Arrow/Flash/etc without having to actually commit to their opinion.
Eh, I don't know he doesn't have much to do with Team Flash. Diggle being a week on Flash would be funny, because he would be so uncomfortable around all the nerds, the light-heartedness and especially Cisco.
Exactly. For example, my father only watches The Flash and he wasn't lost when he started watching Legends, even though he didn't know the history between Sara or Ray.

I mean, the red duo would have been dope. Roy flipping on rooftops and Barry zipping through the streets

I liked Roy´s return. His flips have been missed. Shadow´s appearance through me for a loop, because you never know with this show. And the calculator is Felicity´s dad, to the surprise of the very few, because most of us knew.

If Colton wants to do it, they should pick him up S2 of Legends. They need a flipping archer on that show.
Well, now I am again reminded how much I am lamenting that Diggle isn't Green Lantern. Fuck, man. I want that Green Team.I mean, the red duo would have been dope. Roy flipping on rooftops and Barry zipping through the streets
Nyssa's escape was fucking dumb.
Why smuggling a dagger in giant obvious pepper, when you stay in front of the cell anyway and immediately kill the guards. Just give her a sword directly.
I assume she just wasn't sure of the level of the guards. Nyssa is just about the strongest person in the prison while she might be mid-level.

The dad reveal took me by surprise
They injected humour into the show I see, love all the references from th flash and vice versa

I guess it makes sense to run a reunion special before flipping the protagonist to Felicity.

Well her mother is Taiwanese after checking wiki.
Well she is the biggest friend of Colton. Of course he would come back for Felicity season 5.
Super fun ep, reminded me of season 1/2 a lot. Tons of familiar faces, (was really scared they would hunt down the last(right?) remaining Suicide Squad member and kill of Katana). Crazy over the top plots and schemes. Ton of stuff happened. Nice reveals. The whole grave thing takes a whole new twist, hope it keeps up like this.
I think you lose the right to complain when you are actively watching a show you don't like.
And then participating in a community devoted to it
How does that work? It's not like he's watching a different show and his criticisms are invalid.

Then if he doesn't watch it, how would his criticism be valid? He can complain all he wants if he doesn't like what he sees.

How about you can no longer criticize the decision making of characters on the show?
Middle of the road, still miles better than S3
great
Better than season 3 but still below average.

Watching something don't make your criticism valid even more so after a while .
Lets say i watch the flash but i say it's trash .
And then complain about characters or the fact that people can react to flash .
If i keep on watching it and keep on saying people can react to flash don't make my criticism any more valid.
Good .

Quite fun. Great big bad. No gross abuse of death fakeouts. Less grumpy Oliver. Less pouty Felicity. Last night's episode was a good return to the 'hey, lets just throw in 10 major story plot points' Arrow of old.

"Why would a character do something so stupid?"
Wastes time watching show he hates.

Does no one consider all 3 shit shows?
Like honestly The Flash is nothing remarkable and often really fucking dumb. Legends has the ice guy who I'd actually kinda like if he didn't have this weird way he talks and I can't help but feel sorry for Brandon Routh every time I see him.

It is mandatory for shows with a hacker. You get cancelled if you don't.

I mean all 3 shows have things that are rather stupid or characters that do stupid shit .
But hey there comic book shows and i have fun watching them that all that matters .
Still i think some people hold the shows ( or maybe only one) to higher standard than they should .
