Thanks for the thread!

As with majority of this show, it had the makings of a good episode but then they never really used anything to its fullest potential.

The team finding out about Cayden less then an episode after it is revealed he's been keeping tabs on him was a little weak imo. This should've been drawn out for at least 1 episode before TA found out.

I know they are trying to play Laurel/Black Siren fans into thinking there is a chance of redemption but I got this shows number and I am not falling for it. They've barely put any work into it to make me think that they will really go there. Between Thea/Quentin's first convo and Thea/Quentin's last convo, there should've been an altercation between the three that changed Thea's mind and helped keep the hope in Quentin's heart.

Vigilante on the other hand...they are totally setting him up for a redemption. He is going to doublecross Cayden and probably end up dying to save Dinah by the end of the season. But he is getting more to do and to further that plot then Laurel/Quentin are with theirs.

Oliver just keeps getting into fights with the group of baddies and flys away into the night, it was a bit funny. It was annoying that we spent all this time between Cayden obtaining a T-Sphere and him actually using it and Oliver is able to break them within SECONDS. But then Diggle/Felicity get to play a video game where they play as T-Spheres attacking the bad guys. They used it more efficiently then Curtis has since the first episode.

If you are going to break the team into 2 then at least show Oliver struggling being alone in the field but they did the exact opposite. Sure he had to run both times but he was doing fine.

And oh look! the trailer for next week as the city in danger.again. At least this episode we had a Bertinelli in danger and a turf war.

I loved that they mentioned Helena

I thought T/Q was okay, but the rest I agree

Wish they would use Katie more, I still hope it's gonna come, but it's getting weaker and weaker.. will she even be in next week's episode?

Primal Slayer

I don't think she will be. But wow her screentime this season has been so short, she is practically dead last even behind William.

Honestly, Arrow can throw out most other season 6 plotlines. This needs to be the focus. Thea and Quentin's mission to save Laurel's soul is up there with Oliver as a father and Diggle as Green Arrow.
