Well It passed for 4 different galaxies worth of planets on Stargate so I think they'll be fine.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I could see enjoying an Arrow prison arch but it would be a lot of the same stuff a lot of you folks hate about the show. A villain inside the prison and a mastermind villain outside pulling strings. Felicity and Co agonizing and trying to free Oliver. Diggle or someone in the hood temporarily knowing it goes back to Oliver when he gets out. Lots of nonsensical villain cameos in prison. I can see digging it but I enjoy this show more than most. I think the thread would hate it.

I'm enjoying this episode because they're giving Acevedo something to do finally, evil Laurel snarking over everything, and that John Wick-esque fight scene.

I had this exact same thought. It was like CW budget John Wick and Kirk Acevedo owns. I'd watch a show with him as the lead.\\\

I had been really down on Diaz, but knowing that he's just a scrappy gangster with a sad backstory with a name who met enough powerful people to think he can hang with them, and managed to outlast Arrow killing them...That's actually not bad.

Decent episode overall, but if they're gonna try to paint Diaz as some kind of 5th dimension chess player who's always one step ahead then maybe don't have him needlessly cock his gun over and over to try and make him look like a tactical badass.

This was one of the better episodes of the season and it should've happened like seven episodes ago.

You know, like AoS did with this season's villain.

I liked when he cocked his gun outside and then went inside and cocked it again without firing a shot.

That, and when he fires like 4 shots, does a mag change, and racks it again. I know I'm being gun spergy but it made me eyeroll a little.

They don’t film scenes like that in sequence. That’s what was so refreshing about John Wick.

Sorry, I haven't been keeping up with anything or whatever, but I just caught wind through the grapevine that the Diaz guy everyone's been memeing about was revealed to be Richard Dragon?

Is that right?

Oh so it's like an "in name only" reference that's played no actual part in anything because I have seen no mention of it at all this entire year? Like the only thing I ever hear about him is that he's a tactical drug dealer that Ollie has to fight and not that he's, y'know, Richard friggin' Dragon (who's actually a good guy in the comics so...lol?)

Aphrodite

The New 52 Richard Dragon is a villain who killed the actual Richard Dragon, who trained him. His name is also really Ricardo Diaz (Jr.)

His drug kingpin father was killed by Diggle posing as Green Arrow at the time, but since they just did that with Prometheus they left it out of the adaptation.

Arrowverse writers have been great throwing this sort of stuff around and I laugh every time
I hate it every time they do this. It's so incredibly blatant it's like they stop the show to have the characters turn to the camera and say "Donald Trump is bad. Do you get it? We're making a political statement! About Donald Trump. Did you catch it? OK, back to the show!"

Legends of Tomorrow takes plenty of shots at Trump, but they're all loving hilarious.

Make America Grodd Again, an epic cheesy line about Obamacare, and the idea that the very worst timeline... still has Trump as President.

It was funny to me because until they said the line I had completely missed the connection since Oliver was totally right to fire people on the payroll of a drug lord.
