It was ok, would have been better if Felicty stopped her melodrama for a second, when she said "my Oliver" I wanted to puke, same when she had her crying moment in the dungeons, when are they going to realize that Emily is not that good at dramatic scenes? she is good at being awkward, like the scene when she threw her tablet, that was good, that is the Felicity people liked, not the crying mess they have created this season.
yeah well.....
I liked that Ollie was lying, but it makes zero sense not to tell someone other than Malcom (like, oh, I don't know, Diggle for example) what he was planning. I know Oliver likes to keep things to himself but this is too much, is one thing not to talk about everything he went through those five years, is another thing not to tell your team your plan (seriously, what was he thinking?)
yeah here's the thing it's as if the writers were making Oliver do this as pay back over the trick with roy about not telling him about it him being in a guilt trip position in a twisted way cause the writers have stated this they said they want people i team arrow having in fights cause it's interesting to them to us the fa base it look stupid & we know if thei was real life they would have people they are trying to protect killed when they have their arguments or ed up i fist fights over these types of these mistakes or the team will or should break up & there should be no excuse for it not to happen.
but the writers be forcing them to stay together despite what should happen. it's this was also done Diggle & felicity will look a bit like hypercrit's to a degree cause they pulled the same stunt prior with Roy the only difference is Oliver no matter what he claim's is terrible strategist cause he had a teacher like Waller who didn't teach him that or the worst way to implement them. and all that death stroke taught Oliver was combat not strategy
yeah making traps that will harm & capture people may seem like strategy but some how when it come to playing complicated plan like this where deep under cover is in use/ involved here where he was faking he was brain washing .. .
Left the others out of his plan their just not the same thing shouldn't be used as a jesture .
Right now all that's running through diggles head is that baby sara was left alone & his wife and mother of his kid were kidnapped. but what should be registering is Diggls set him self up for to happen again with those thugs cause he made absolutely sure they saw his face for them to remember who they want revenge on for putting them in the hospital when he botch one of their heists with the female vigilante he was with.
those people will do far worse the what oliver did who was with people whereit was hard for him to ot leave baby as she was aloe (yeah I'm ot happy about that situatio ether) this why I said he's terrible strategist but he's not the oly that hasn't been thinking straight this season ether all via the writers .
though the situation is they both left each other in the cold cause they had a plan that called for it to make it all look real. to the people they are trying to fool which were captain Lance with the Roy issue & Ra's of the more recent case in both these situation's so yeah sadly the hypercritical position will placed here with diggle & felicity just for strain perpose's/ reason. cause oliver when they finally told him after he felt guilty about roy's death he didn't feel like punching diggle for his plan that tricked him to make Captain Lance back off for it.
also I just remember this type of plot was use often where toy stark was involved with the iron man animated series & comic's as well cause he always had this thing where he didn't tell others of the team what he was planning during their mission's when he was leading any details of his plan were never relayed to them.
I mean the mid late 90's animated series .
where he had member of the force works Julia Carpenter AKA spider woman , hawkeye , war machine , scarlet witch etc. this happened often every one of his team always had heavy distrust issue's with him the difference was that tony was really bad a communication with others where with Oliver he picked up this bad habit cause of his parents & meeting waller
They also try to explore this with Iron man toy stark with the more recent earth's mightiest heroes but they said it was a nerd habit like what reed Richards has/ does where their so caught up in their work cause it's so fascinating & they forget other people are in the room instead of they don't explain what they're true platonic intention's are which cause's some like simon/ wonder man to take it wrong when his company is bought up thinking iron man will down si
ze it & fire every one who works there including him self & he becomes wonder man via A.i.m. trying to kill tony stark when stark was always gonna allow Simon / wonder man to still run the company he owned formerly the way he always did.
The character that was on tony case for this was ant man hank pym for this habit in earth mightiest in stead of another crowd of a variation of the avengers
ay way the point is this was all doe cause as the writers said they want strain cause it excit's & entertains them
as they told ET online & it has use talking about it how ever I don't when they do it that the execution has us talking about what they wat us to talk about all the time as it isn't always done right which other shows have done with & they don't make their main characters look stupid to make the strain happen it's supposed to be the situation that make them make the mistake not them acting stupid prior before the bad situation happen's.
But anyways
Best part of the episode was Katana, her fight with Maseo was well done and the ending broke my heart, something big considering I didn't really care about them as a couple during the flashbacks.
Arrow is better when it focuses on the action and the plots rather than the shipping.
yeah she was the best part of this weeks episode with maseo the actor performece are always doe well despite the scripts
It's sad how it all ended up like this I wish they had sent the kid out of town even though they thought the inoculation would work . but I would want my kid to see die if it had worked with him . but I saw this coming for a while that it was the kid's death which was the reason why Maeso was with the league .
