You do remember that Diggle is happily married at the moment right?

This. I don't see Lyla going anywhere anytime soon. Matter of fact, I wish she'd appear more often; her frequent appearances in S4 were one of the few bright sides of that season. No, if Dinah's going to be with anyone, I predict Oliver or a whole new character. Definitely not Diggle. (And actually, this may not be popular, but I think Rory would make a good mate for Felicity, leaving Oliver available for Dinah.)

It looked like they intentionally created a Quentin/Dinah moment this week.

Things that make you go hmm...

 

[Slade W]

They wanted to show Dinah bonding with the team IMO. They gave Rene scenes with Diggle early on in the season too. I don't think they are planting seeds for a ship.

 

[Primal Slayer]

In general, the show should've waited to introduce DLL/DD so they could've had all their issues worked out.

I agree. I have been saying that for a while too. Not just with BC, but with the other side-kicks as well.

 

[Dark Raven]

How essential is it to watch the "Bratva" episode? I still haven't gotten round to watching it, because the premise just sounds really boring and I don't really want to watch flashbacks to a boring period.

Is there anything revealed in the episode that is vital to future episodes that makes Bratva essentially viewing? Or can I skip over to the next episode, "Spectre of the Gun" (which sounds like a ripoff of a Star Trek episode title)?

 

[IAmAsgardian]

Just a heads up so it doesn't happen to someone else, do not read the episode synopses on IMDB.

edit: Scratch that, someone's just trolling.

 

[Dark Raven]

So is it essential to watch Bratva or not? There must be people who've watched the episode who can tell me.

There's at least one major thing for the season that happens if i remember right

 

[Braggis]

I mean if you are going to watch a show, you might as well watch all the episodes. Right? I vaguely remember the "Bratva" episode but you might as well watch it because it is a part of this season's story.

 

[Dark Raven]

The Bratva bits have been the most boring parts of the season, so having an episode dedicated to that seems as interesting as watching paint dry.

 

[batdude]

Well, it's OK. the thing that surprises me is that they are managing to waste Dolph Lundgren. You would think he would at least mean good fight scenes.

It's not a predominantly flashback episode.

It's one of the best episodes of the season, IMO. No reason to avoid watching it.

People cheat all the time and his wife is barely around

 

[Deltron3030]

I love the new black canary. She has a bad ass sexiness to her. Fits the role really well and am all for it.

Vigilante... who the hell is he? I'm beginning to think it's not Chase some reason just by how his character is acting with Ollie. Seems too obvious right now. Next week will be an awesome episode. **** I love this season. Only 1 bad episode so far I think and it wasn't really terrible.

If it's Chase is he doing it to get sympathy for Oliver to try and get the cover-up downplayed?

 

[Jedi Arrow]

...so many things wrong with this sentence, but I think I'll start with, "who in their right mind would ship a couple that includes a husband who's cheating on his loving, faithful, head-of-ARGUS wife, anyway?"

 

[HighFivingMF]

It's one of the best episodes of the season, IMO. No reason to avoid watching it.

I'm confused that they've spent like 2 weeks and some change pondering whether to spend 40 minutes on an episode.

 

[Primal Slayer]

The series hit a series low last night

 

[Jedi Arrow]

The series hit a series low last night

Do you mean in quality or in ratings, because I've heard it wasn't a bad episode.

 

[Primal Slayer]

In ratings. Scored a 1.54/.5. Right now it is the lowest rated DCTV show.

 

[Slade W]

Arrow and The Flash ratings have been dropping a lot since last year. Both started dropping significantly at the same time, after episode 15. I don't know what to make of it.

 

[Osiris-Rex]

In ratings. Scored a 1.54/.5. Right now it is the lowest rated DCTV show.

Since the CW put LoT on after Flash, every episode of Arrow has been the lowest rated DCTV show.

Fun fact: Powerless, on NBC, is the second highest rated comic book based show currently airing on network TV. Beating Supergirl, Agents of Shield, LoT, and Arrow. Only the Flash gets higher ratings. (Gotham and Lucifer are on break).

But powerless sucks
