So lets just get this part over with: This episode would've been so much better if we deleted the Diggle/Curtis subplot. It was boring as hell and they make the most boring Arrow duo in the shows history. Those two together working Argus is the worst.

Now besides them I enjoyed the rest of the episode.

Introducing Talia back into the mix and making her "The Demon"...very cleaver show. Her being connected to Diaz off screen...eh...ok I guess. Her and Oliver were a dynamic duo that I enjoyed watching, it was nice to get some resolution of her character from the island. Their fight scenes were great, dynamic great, though Oliver sacrificed himself so she could be free how heroic of him.

When we take S1 out of the equation, we have not gotten a scene with all of Arrows females in the same scene alone. Letting that set in was very sad to think about. Even having 1:1's with each other we didnt get anything substantial since Laurel/Thea in S4 so this entire plot made me so happy. I've been yearning for a female centric episode for SO LONG and now this makes me yearn for one even more, please make it happen BS. Laurel/Felicity are like Salt/Pepper, they just mix so well together it is fantastic to watch them and we got plenty of them tonight on all levels. Adding Dinah into the mix didn't add much but I did enjoy her brief snark with Laurel and just seeing all 3 work together in general. They were able to take down Lvl2 together which is a huge win. Laurels learning empathy, Felicity has been learning how to ruthless to get what she wants, Dinah's been Dinah. Everything about it was very refreshing.

I loved this episode. Loved it.

BS and Felicity are so great together. It reminds of the brief glance we got in S3 with their friendship. You know back when I thought they’d be smart and develop it more and maybe also try and bridge the gap with the haters on each side. Anyway.

Curtis and Diggle really don’t make for a great story line. I feel like them both at Argus should be better then it is.

nice article

Thanks for sharing this. I enjoyed this reviewer. He felt refreshing in a way but also very honest.

Loved this episode. I like to see Oliver working with Talia and actually doing some justice even under prison. Laurel and Felicity working together was probably the best of the episode; I always loved their moments together and even when I thought Black Siren would never become Felicity's friend, I'm lucky enough to watch that Laurel asking Felicity to go out and eat some pizza.
About the flashforwards... Uh I need to know more!! I guess that not everything is being told there is going to be totally true. Maybe Felicity indentity or location is hidden and she faked her death, or Barry changes the timeline again and everything changes too under the Arrowverse. Well, I just have hope for that. Unless this was destined to be the last season, it wouldn't make sense to "kill" characters in the future through Flashforward. And come on... Dragon overpowered, even worse than how they made Prometheus, I'm sorry but it's truly unreal. Make sense, writers.

I freaking love this Laurel, she is so damn hilarious. And I am continuing to love the Laurel/Felicity interaction, they are so great together. I also loved seeing them work with Dinah, who btw, has amazing hair. Laurel asking her to get pizza was um ADORABLE AS HELL.

I'm starting to get pretty tired of Oliver's storyline. I get that he needs to be in jail a bit longer but god, its boring. I think he's out after a few more, so I'll stick it out.

I don't blame Curtis for not wanting to go out into the field and help, it's so dangerous. But I am glad that he decided to do it, and it was fun watching him succeed.
