One, the Ragman thing jsut dragged. So first he leaves the team because of Felicity, that's fine. Then Oliver tries to talk to him and he once again says no, as well as explaining his motives. Okay. Then Felicity talks to him again and says basically the same thing Oliver did, and everyone acts like this is a big deal! Regardless, he still says no, which you'd think would be the end of it, except it only takes him like ten minutes to decide, just kidding! And everyone just accepts that? Also, he feels really overpowered when he's on the team. We haven't actually seen anything hurt him, and now he's blocked grenades and gunfire. He could probably take on the rest of the new recruits and win. So Wild Dog sacrifices himself to give them time, which would be touching, except for the fact that the guy with magic rags who could strangle Church from a distance, instead decides to help the injured guy out... Grr...

Secondly, I really don't like how they handled Diggle. First of all, they're bringing him back on the team, what the heck?!? Who's next? Thea? Is Laurel going to rise from the dead? Well the end of Season Four now seems pretty pointless... But that's not even the worst part. No, the worst part is Oliver and Lila going behind his back to rescue him, despite for his express wishes not for them to! Then when they do, he just kind of goes, "Eh. Cool."

Oh and what's with the Wild Dog hate? He was probably the only real hero of this episode. Him and Felicity anyway. Speaking of Ragman. Why wasn't he the one to stay behind? He is invincible and would be able to hold off Church. Wild Dog should have been in Ragman's place of helping Curtis. That's exactly what I'm saying! That makes his sacrifice totally unnecessary! Oh I didn't see that part of your statement. I am glad to see that we agree that was a dumb decision for Team Arrow.
