This is the dumbest Oliver has ever been. There is no indication from anyone except Merlyn that Thea would be targeted by the League.

He said that though. He said the video was a bluff.

Well his father did off himself because there wasn't enough food for both of them the liferaft. Not a large stretch.

Revelry in the Dark

The characterization for Ra's has really been spot on; not a megalomaniac obsessed with retaining his youth, but merely a man who's lived for a really long time and seen some poo poo. Sounded like a disappointed dad in that scene I feel

Oliver is basically the only person in the show who is reacting to this entire mess incorrectly. Malcolm Merlyn deserves to die in horrible agony. Literally no one but Oliver disputes this. Thea was used as a murder-puppet by the guy. Somehow, I don't think him dying far away by someone else's hand is going to affect her too much.

Not to mention that Barrowman barely counts as a dad. Sure they had some quality time in Corso Maltese but everything else has been lovely and lasted all of a few months

Yes.

His point was that Thea would be sad that Merlyn is dead...or something.

Yeah, maybe, but so what? There are worse things than feeling guilty for sending a mass-murdering, sociopathic psycho (who drugged his own daughter to get her to murder someone) to his death. Honestly, Oliver should have just killed Malcom or turned him over to the League himself back when he learned that he did that to Thea. It doesn't matter that he is Thea's father - a father who would do that is worse than a dead father. The problem is that Oliver is carrying around so much misplaced guilt for his own parents deaths that he can't thing clearly.

I'm glad that the thread consensus (and the show consensus) is that Oliver Is Doing A Stupid Thing.

He's not entirely wrong, I mean sending your father off to his death is kind of hosed up.

That's subjective. It depends entirely on the kind of person your father is.
