I still can't get over how insanely stupid the whole "you must wipe your hometown off the map to get the job" thing is. It's so over-the-top that it takes me out of the show.

Good riddance to Maseo, the virus-dealing fucker.

Oh gently caress off Felicity, beating the poo poo out of gang bangers until they are messy pulps in a displacement of your anger issues is like vigilante 101. Also lol she has Malcolm's face in her phone. And I CAN'T GO BACK well no poo poo why would anyone want you there are no firewalls to hack in Nanda Parbat you are useless there. It's like being the worst character is a zero sum game so as Laurel rises Felicity falls.

Why is Merlyn still alive?

Why doesn't the league use guns? Diggle was killing them by the dozens.

Why is the home town wiping out thing so painfully stupid?

So many questions. The answer to all of them is probably bad writing.

I guess they're just looking to write him and anything off the show completely in preparation for the spin-off. Company has his name so it has to go as well. Oh and look what a convenient way to get Oliver his wealth back.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Are we a week behind Flash, or have Flash's trailers been showing stuff about the finale (Fast Enough) instead of next week (Rogue Air)? Because it sure seems like next week's episode needs to happen before the Flash stuff in the trailers.

Wiping Starling off the map would work if the brainwashing thing was given any focus at all. As it stands, we've gone from "join the league under force" to "nuke your city" in like two episodes. No way does Rhas Al Ghul not expect Oliver to flip. Its derpy as hell.

The big brawl fight scene was a lot of fun, but the terribad costumes really took me out of it.

Maseo's plastic Scorpion from Mortal Kombat mask against Katana's fisher price japan helmet.... good lord, what the gently caress?

I actually don't hate this episode I liked the death of maseo.
The Roy scene wasn't bad.
Ras Al Ghul actually being a horrible father was kind of great.
Ray taking out the jet was great.
Tatsu vs Maseo
The Canary Cry
Tatsu's Costume
Roy Palmer
Them actually not wanting to trust Tatsu because Oliver really never had approached them and told them about her
What I didn't like
gently caress Hong Kong
Ray giving up Palmer Industries
Also that general's paranoid rant was just laughable, I hope that was meant as the paranoid rants of a mad man.



So is Ray is going to be on Legends?

Also I really do want to see the next episode despite this episode being all over the place.

I bet they had to clear it with Microsoft before they ever destroyed one on the show.

I don't know, maybe I've absorbed the bad writing quality of this season so much that it stopped phasing me, because I didn't mind this episode and found it fun at times.

I thought the way Ollie stopped Nyssa's knife at the altar was especially badass. "Please, continue."

There were a few really nice moments in this episode. I enjoyed it and think I'll appreciate this season for what it was more once it's over. There's a lot of dumb writing in this show (Olicity for one, but far from the only) but I still enjoy the ride overall.

I also liked Merlyn's betrayal of Oliver in this episode. They've been working together a fair bit this season, which I think has been pretty cool. I'd like to see Merlyn have another run as the season bad guy though, perhaps season 5 so the show sort of comes full circle with the end of the flashbacks.

It really wasn't a bad episode, just poor. At the least I didn't feel like it was a chore after the first ten minutes. Also yay Barry is going to be on.

The mirakuru goons also went from "Oliver had to drop half a factory on one to win" to "mild diversion" in a few episodes.

I'm much more baffled by the pacing. Oliver being the head of the demon and slowly being corrupted by Rhas - that's a story I'd watch.

This was realistic. There's no way anyone in the League knows how to program a jet, so it's on factory defaults. And factory defaults in comic books is "hack dat poo poo."
