It's nice seeing "Cutty" (Chad L. Coleman) as this season's baddie. Although, I am not sure how much they can drag him escaping out the window -so to speak- after each encounter with the arrow and friends.

As far as the new team goes:

Ragman is cool. Currently overpowered, but if anything the writers will have a challenge matching opponents and challenges for him. Or he will storm off all pissed with Felicity's "oops, sorry I killed your folks and friends and cratered your hometown". Which, again, surprisingly the writers didn't drag out much, as far as keeping it a dark secret.

Wild Dog is ok too. He looks like he is having fun, I guess, and it's sort of a nice contrast to everyone else being constantly depressed or depressing.

The girl is... I don't know. What's her story exactly? Was she the canary imitator from last season? So far she just provides some punchlines. Maybe she is written to be a love interest for Wild Dog, to fill up a few episodes.

Curtis seems to have taken a turn to the worse with his awkwardness. Hopefully, he will soon get over this phase, and be more fun and interesting.

Ragman - Is he that op, or is the rest of the team that bad? Otherwise, agreed! He's kinda cool.

Wild Dog - Agreed.

The Girl - Yep, she is the canary imitator. Now that she's a regular, it's kinda surprising nobody's asked how she got the canary thingy to work. Maybe they dropped that point?

Curtis - Not noticing too much of a change. Keep on keep'n on Curtis!


We'll see. It was good to hear the catchphrase, though!

Prometheus sounds like Worf, but is probably the DA.

Don't think I buy Quentin as Prometheus though, as strong as his motivation would be and as hilarious as "drunk becomes supervillain when he blacks out" is as a concept. I think the real person is just setting him up/gaslighting him.

Also, Oliver was very publicly arrested for being the Hood and the Arrow. Yet the B-Team was surprised that he was the Green Arrow? Or didn't figure out he was all three immediately? The answer to "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?!?" should have been "Wait, you didn't know?"

Prometheus actually being (ex)Detective Lance would be great. Oliver probably hasn't ruined anyone's life harder, and it would be a great double-twist.

This would be the second biggest troll (next to making Laurel Prometheus) and I would also laugh my rear end off.

Third, because it misses the voltron-troll. She's both Prometheus AND Black Canary.

I'm hoping it's the "Rick & Morty"-style thing where she's from an alternate timeline/universe where everyone else died, and she left to find one where she was dead, but her friends weren't. I almost don't even care if anything comes of that backstory. She can even keep the Canary Cry!

Yeah, the comics version of Hub city is preeeeeetttty grim.

Outing Chase also gives Mayor Ollie room to discount everything he's said recently about the Green Arrow - obviously he's a cool guy and DA Chase, known psychopath, was strong-arming the mayor into saying all of that. And every person Chase kills from here on out cements that story.

Hell Prometheus probably killed Billy, somehow.

I liked the episode, especially the Wild Dog and Hoss parts. Oliver probably could have leaned on "Yes, I have done, and will continue to do things I think are bad, but I've just recently come to terms with the fact that I was, and sorta still am a serial killer" a little better.

Just saw the last two episodes of the season. Chase was great. Almost as good as Slade.

I really want Slade to end up on the Waverider. That would be pretty good. What will happen instead will be that he managed to rescue Evelyn, and she's his new sidekick.

I hope Nameless Mom doesn't die. I could be wrong, but I don't think the kid will add much to the show.

Thea, Lance, both Canaries, Dig, Dog, and Curtis - can't see any of these dying. Felicity dying would be the ultimate "gently caress you" from Chase, but probably didn't happen. The internet reaction would be fantastic though.

Merlyn died on paper, but, I don't buy it. He may be gone for a season though.

It's true that many of the versions of the Question are great, but I think the JLU version was probably the best. It could work really well mixed in with the TV news anchor version, I think. Just so long as he's insufferable.
