However i am not liking how early they are having John forgive the Outsiders.

Lastly aside from putting Oliver in jail. Diaz is still extremely underwhelming me. I honestly agree with all of this. I really hate how the writers have handled this whole NTA (which I say stands for No Team Arrow) storyline. I honestly couldn’t care less about the newbies anymore. They are so irredeemable to me.

And the best (and really only good) part of this episode was the moment between Felicity and William. I really hate how they’ve sidelined Oliver & Felicity in the second half of the season. Like, god forbid Oliver be the focus of the show. I think it is less the problem of Oliver and Felicity and more William and Oliver being sidelined. They were supposed to be the focus. I do agree. At the beginning they really built up the theme of this season being “family”, but you’ve barely seen Oliver and William together and interacting except for like 3 or 4 episodes. I think that they could’ve done a lot more with William, but they really missed a lot of opportunities with him.

I really think, in general, this season started out really good, but the second half of the season has just gone really downhill. Even more so than season 4.
