Was wondering why Acavedo was somewhat wasted this season. Wonder no more!

I am just so tired of the broken team thing. Not team arrow is pretty much doing the same thing they are pissed at OTA about. Dinah going off on her own, Curtis and Dinah meeting vigalante without the others knowing. Just such an irritating thing hearing Renee saying we still aint no team hoss. I hate that ish. We get it.

Yeah that kid who plays William is really bad. I hate to pick on child actors, but yeah he is awful. Though when he showed up I half expected him to be the mastermind of the whole thing.

Richard Dragon being the mastermind seems like a complete waste so far, as he was a complete non entity for most of the season. Emerson also seems like a huge waste. Maybe he was too expensive to keep the whole season.

Yeah this whole two team Arrow's thing is so stupid. They are doing the same things that annoyed each other, plus they are still backing each other up and sharing intel. It's just stupid.

I did at Quenitn kidnapping Black Siren. Honestly one of the few things I'm curious about this season is whether BS will become good or stay evil.

Anyone catch the "cameo" from The Flash?

The broken team thing is indeed annoying. It's really because Dinah has her head so far up her ass with her hate and Curtis and Rene are just playing follow the leader.

A little surprised that Dragon ended up being the big mastermind behind the whole thing. Shame it came at wasting Michael Emerson as being just a red herring villain.

and yes William was annoying and a burden this episode. He had absolutely no business leaving the Arrow cave and looking for Oliver out in the field.

Renee (and hoss!) is far more irritating again that the kid. I'll miss Emerson given the was the best thing they had going this season.

The whole Flash thing would be cool if it didn't point out just how obvious it is that they haven't called him to help in other key moments.

I was just bitching an episode or two ago about how unrealistic it is that they never call on speedsters and other superpowers for assistance, so I can’t complain about that cameo.

Though it would have broken the mood of the scene, I was expecting Diggle to get sick when he was dropped off.

Edited to add: Very strong performance from Michael Emerson.

If Barry or Wally had enough time to help out Oliver certainly he would have enough time to search for the bomb? You'd think that would have been the first thing Oliver would have asked Barry to do.

Holy shit Argus. They keep American citizens in shipping containers on American soil. Worse conditions than terrorists have in Gitmo. WTF Lila?

I thought that was one of the major reasons they freed him in the first place.

Felicity did that, and he turned out to be an ungrateful douchebag anyways.

Actually I enjoy Team Arrow being split up. The fight scenes weren't working anymore with 4 or 5 superheroes together in the same fight. I have noticed they are letting more and more people into the Arrow cave. Now William will be hanging around the cave. His appearance at the showdown with Cayden James was a dumb writing choice.

I still don't get where they are taking this Lance and evil Laurel relationship. Are they planning on turning her good? I would say they are rehabbing this Laurel so she could be put on Legends of Tomorrow, but Sara's presence makes that possible plot problematic.

All that being said, this season of Arrow has been pretty good. Emerson was a good addition and gave us a different type of arch-villain than Green Arrow usually faces.

Cayden was Ollie's version of The Thinker.

I feel like next season is the first of these CW shows where I can really root for the bad guy from the 1st episode. Hate everybody but Diaz.
