Didn’t exactly live up to the hype I felt after Season 5 but damn, that was intense.

Throughout this episode I felt bad for pretty much everyone except Diaz. See, their lives are getting ruined by a guy who doesn’t even remember why he was ruining them. He literally came out of nowhere and decided “I’m the big bad” now and just seemed like an over glorified thug Oliver could face each week. However, there is something intriguing about his rage that I can’t exactly explain.

Not sure about John being the Green Arrow but I think I’ll be okay with it. I’m not very enthusiastic about him working for ARGUS anyway, just felt like “okay, that’s a thing.” I’m glad Oliver had that talk with Dinah and Rene, though it doesn’t truly feel like he and John have made up. In fact, it doesn’t feel that way with Curtis either but he didn’t get much screen time anyway.

Felicity was pretty frantic and that’s not really a negative comment. She’s in love with this guy and at this point she’s really tired of him sacrificing himself over and over and over again. I get it. However, there are times when I feel like she should try and assess the situation properly instead of just jump to the point of wanting what’s best for him instead of the city and team. And man, that William is gonna have the worst trauma growing up. I feel like he’s becoming a “Lil’ Arrow” already.

As for the Lance family, death always seems to find a way for them huh? This was an upsetting moment for Quentin but I don’t think that killing him off like Laurel was anything original. But Sara actually being here makes it feel like it was a better executed. So in a sense, I’m glad we’re getting that Laurel redemption arc.

And that’s it really. The show is still keeping me guessing and that’s the important part.
