Arrow is changing showrunners next season. I posted this in last week's thread, but will do it again here. Beth Schwartz, one of the writers/Co-Ep's, was promoted to showrunner for season 7. Marc Guggenheim, the co-creator of Arrow, and Wendy Mericle are leaving as showrunners, but Guggenheim will stay as a Consultant.

You know I wasn't sure for the most part if this was a Flashback or not. I guess it was an alright episode. They really did a disservice by wasting Dragon for the entire season before going "surprise!" and making him the villain.
Curtis and Felicities storyline was incredibly stupid.

He was part John Wick and part Joker ("you know how i got these scars?" Cool episode...if they cut out the Felicity, Curtis and Oliver parts it would have made a good pilot for a different show.

Very different Arrow episode. Kind of liked that it was mostly from the perspective of the villains.

All the dialogue with Evil Laurel seemed...off. I can't quite put my finger on it, but the writing for her was different than anything we've had before from the character.

Well ... for us, lump it into the worst episode ever category. In a world of metas, a crime organization with no metas or anti-meta capability? ... Aside from that, didn't really care for Dragon's background as he isn't a terribly interesting villain with or without. Next ep looks like a rehash of last season's Chase/Arrow fisticuffs ... Bring on the season finale.
