It's great seeing Amell getting hyped for his own show again. He recently tweeted implying that the penultimate episode of the season is incredible and noted that, although he hadn't seen the script yet, if done right the finale could be the best episode of Arrow yet. Now I'm hyped.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Her parents were killed in Damien Darkh's underground city or some other crazy scheme and she blames the Arrow for "letting" those people die.

Plus I think there was something about how her parents were wealthy Starling City people who had friends who were killed by the Hood. So like she has friends whose lives were destroyed because Oliver killed their parents because they were genocidal nutbags.

She's messed up.

All the NPCs will look up and shout, "Do this quest!"
and I'll whisper, "Sure, why not."
Also Ollie killed Dahrhkh, so she never got her revenge. Just another thing that he took from her.

Which means there's a drat good chance they're about to throw Dinah Drake in the wood chipper. Goddamnit.

I was kind of expecting they'd give her a little more focus in the upcoming episodes but that's probably not gonna happen now.

I wish they would add Black Siren to Legends instead of Arrow next season. It would be a better fit and her interactions with Sarah would be interesting.

Wouldn't be shocked if Rhyno is right. A season long plot that leads to a Black Siren/ Dinah Drake battle might be interesting.

The confession felt a bit weak there but I'm interested to see where they're going to go. Presumably someone's just going to slap him or something.

Continuing the fine Arrow tradition of introducing characters, doing nothing with them then writing them out.

I have zero problem with the way they've been working Dinah into the team and story and this all feels a little weirdly over-reactive to me to a totally speculative idea.

I mean, she hasn't gotten some personal meta plot but she probably never was going to being introduced so late into the season and right before the show started really focusing on the Prometheus storyline she has nothing to do with. I've gotten the sense that the idea was to just do a big intro of her and then work her gradually and organically into the team. So we've just gotten a lot of little scenes where she gets through to Oliver in his self loathing or Quentin gives her his blessing to be the Black Canary. I've thought its been working.

They've just all taken a backseat to Oliver and Prometheus the last couple of weeks. Except for Felicity's weird hacker subplot.

Would have ruined that American Psycho as gently caress scene with him driving off. Probably worth it not to pull him over, because god drat. That final minute or so really cemented just how absolutely hosed up he is.

I thought it was overall sort of a middling episode -- because sweet Christ I am bored with Oliver's angst over whether or not he's a monster -- but that ending :stonk:

Once again, Chase is the best villain this show has ever had and holy poo poo is Josh Segarra killing it. No pun intended. I'm gonna be so happy when Oliver guts him with that knife but so sad to see him go.

I think Oliver's gonna put him in a cell instead of the ground personally, but I think I'm okay with murder by glorified linoleum knife.

Whatever happens, Ollie and the team basically just stripped his public facing resources. He's just a criminal now, albeit an extremely dangerous one. If the marshals were the tip of the iceberg, I cannot wait to see what happens now that he's coming unglued. :magical:

e: or evelyn's gonna be the one that snaps and kills him idk. They could go literally anywhere with this, and I'm pretty excited.
