Make Oliver giving Malcolm an army of assassin at the end of 3 after everything that he has done, was really bad decision from the writers.
It makes Oliver look stupid, everytime Malcolm do something bad.

When Arrow first started, the original triangle was Oliver, Dinah Laurel, and Tommy. Then they changed the triangle to Oliver, Diggle, and Felicity. The show is changing from season to season I don't know if I can recognize it anymore.

Making Malcolm a freenemy was a bad choice. I could understand him not wanting to kill his sisters father but the rest didn't work.Once Malcolm was revealed be Thea's father the center of their conflict could of been the fight for her soul. Instead we got what we got

Yup. They should have come up with a better reason for Oliver giving it to him, rather than it being Oliver's way of saying "thank you" to Malcolm for helping him out of the locked toilet, despite the fact that it was Malcolm who locked him in the toilet in the first place.

I think the biggest problem with the show is that everyone knows Oliver is the Green Arrow. Yes, the Secrets/Lies trope was something that got old very fast on Smallville, and totally didn't work on Flash earlier this season, but at this point, all we see is Oliver in the "Bunker". There is too much of Oliver as the Arrow, that there is no Oliver as a person.

The mayoral campaign and the stuff with his son provided a great avenue for them to explore Oliver's social side. The side that actually tries to help people without hiding behind a mask, and this season was right on that path, until they decided to make the same damn mistake of last season, and steer the focus completely onto Olicity. Heck, even the first 3 minutes of the last episode were so refreshing to see because Oliver was actually training and he wasn't sulking.

They said last season that Oliver would find his identity, between being Oliver Queen and The Arrow, and it turns out the identity he found was being Felicity's *****.

The triangle now is Felicity, Oliver and Felicity.

Black Siren could be another Killer Frost, with Barry telling Earth-2 Laurel she's really a good person, that she doesn't have to be bad, etc... she gets redeemed later on and becomes Black Canary. It seems they're looking for ways to appease the fans, time will tell.

Hopefully she stays on The Flash. Because I don't want to watch Arrow anymore, especially with those show runners.

 

[vantheman77]

They could bring her to Supergirl because I want to see Black Canary Vs. Silver Banshee!!

 

[The Apocalypse]

Best episode of the season. Who wasn't in it? Felicity. Coincidence? I think not.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

Yeah, best you guys can hope for is that Katie becomes a guest/recurring star on Flash. I wouldn't mind as she's the only good thing barring Ra's the last two seasons.

 

[antsman41]

Well, that was pointless. They even finally gave her a BC theme tonight...

Amidst all of the spoilers, they really **** the bag.

I couldn't even slightly get sad...

Plus, no one stays dead on this show.

 

[KillerMcQueen]

Best episode of the season. Who wasn't in it? Felicity. Coincidence? I think not.

It was the best episode in a long while, and then they decide to have Laurel's last lines pander to Olicity shippers, Olicity has an amazing ability to trainwreck the show in mere seconds. I'm done with Arrow now, killing off two Black Canaries in two seasons is just insulting to me as a fan of the comics.

‘Arrow’ EPs and Stars on That Shocking Grave Reveal and Whether Dead Means Dead

 

[kenderos]

The fact that Merlyn continues to live despite killing 100's of people in the undertaking, killing Sara, and pitting Ollie against the LoA, etc. is ridiculous. Ollie should have dropped him 2 seasons ago. Giving him the League was dumb.

Ollie has no balls anymore, he routinely gets beat up, defers to the c team, and let's Felicity walk all over him. Season 1 Ollie would eat Dahrk and Merlyns' lunch and still have the time to sleep with that cop chick... now he's being saved by Felicity.

Hoping Laurel is on the Flash or Legends after this. 11:58 rip shows up with gideon and sara.

**** Guggenhiem what he said about her death pisses me off than the actual death.

 

[Mr. Forest]

After tonight, I really feel like dropping it. Maybe, just maybe, I will finish this season. But maybe I will continue because I like The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow that much. It won't make Arrow's writing any better, that's for sure.

 

[zenith16]

don't bother silver banshee will win cause she literally has super strengths and can fly and teleport and it's been shown in the books that the canary cry has very little effect on her.

I was for it once but now I think it's just best to leave things as they are now. yeah it's possible she would be better under different writers of a show . but some how I think it's too late under a Bartilanti production.

I'm going to finish this season since we're 3/4 of the way in but some drastic changes would need to be made for me to tune into next season.

 

[famicommander]

I've said it before -- Arrow has become the worst show in the extended Arrowverse (Arrow, Flash, Legends, Vixen, Constantine, Supergirl, 90s Flash).

If all those other shows plus most of the first two seasons didn't have me so invested in this multiverse and its characters I would stop watching.

It isn't that they killed off Laurel. Honestly, if they'd have killed her off during the first two seasons when she was mostly insufferable I wouldn't have minded. But this is like the 5th Canary death/death fakeout, and they did it right when they finally salvaged the trainwreck of her character. In my book she and Thea were the best parts of the last two seasons.

 

[Herolee10]

So really, the only DC live action properties that can claim to still have a decent amount of fans while being considered enjoyable-watchable now are: "The Flash", "Legends of Tomorrow", and "Gotham".

 

[DCnightwing23]

What a stupid way to die. Get stabbed near the rib cage, make it all the way to the hospital, survive long enough to give a poorly written speech and then die. If you're gonna kill that character do it bigger, better. Utterly stupid imo.

Also notice how in the interview post death after this episode aired that the actress states "this is the end of the arc in the arrowverse." Couldn't you potentially take that as that the character could show up in other shows? Flash and Supergirl potentially?

 

[brandeezy89]

They're going to make Felicity the new Black Canary. Watch and see, wouldn't be surprised if she gets the screaming power too.

How funny would that be. Sara inspires her sister Laurel to become Black Canary and now Laurel would inspire Felicity to become Black Canary v2. This Guggenheim idiot would do that. What a crap fest.
