FTA-TV Arrow

With Guggenheim and the main writer (who is apparently one of the big Olicity people) leaving at the end of the season, hopefully the show has a return to form.

I wouldnt count on it. But I do wonder if Kevin Smith then gets to direct an ep since allegedly there is some issue between them

 

[eth-dog]

No more Guggenheim? JOY TO THE WORLD!

Last two eps have been good
Combat scenes with Oliver/John and then Chase.
They need to keep it violent.

Another great ep.
They did so well with Chase last season and its sad it took this long for the villain to be feared.
Diaz is a unit. Remember when Slade killed Moira? Thats when you knew anything was possible and we tuned in for more. Diaz has had his moment.

Arrow doesnt need the lovey bullshit.

I actually CARED about Diaz and his back story.

 

[vast]

Well if the last 5 eps can all be really strong then I think it will elevate the season.

I dont think this season has been bad its just has not reached great heights and just been ok throughout.

But yeah Diaz just got a lot more interesting.......hopefully there are no filler eps in the home stretch.

I dont mind the idea of Oliver deciding to go it alone, he is the hero at the end of the day and Oliver Queen if full flight has been missing for some time.

It does help that Kirk Acevedo is great at playing an arseh*le.

Diaz is scary dark. I love it.

 

[vast]

Ha that was full of twists and turns. Cant wait to see Diaz get whats coming to him.

A plot device, or plot mechanism, is any technique in a narrative used to move the plot forward. A contrived or arbitrary plot device may annoy or confuse the reader, causing a loss of the suspension of disbelief.

 

[gaskin]

I'm surprised they didn't drag out the trial for no reason like they did on The Flash.

 

[tazaa]

Strong finish

Like Diaz as an antgonist

How easy would it be for Oliver to call Barry Allen and be like "hey do you mind just running into SCPD and grabbing Diaz for us"

Shhhhhh. Don't be using logic when it comes to the DC shows.

1. Logic has no place here
2. Kinda defeats the point of Ollie being the hero.

Yeh but then Diaz would see it coming and miraculously escape capture cause script

“Kick his ass”

“It ends tonight”

Writing was for the tip that episode
Diaz is really the only interesting arch on this show right now and I wouldn’t miss is it if it was cancelled

Yeah, I thought they were setting up for a Quadrant villain for season 7 up until the last episode. Laurel redemption arc was good as well IMO.

The backstory of Diaz with her was excellent
But it’s the rarity amongst the norm these days sadly

She's had a good season. Unlike Felicity, John, Dinah, Curtis, Rene, William...

Felicity hasnt had a good season since s2

Lo and behold it's been since Olicity has dominated the show. Funny about that.

 

[Sir Deadly]

After all the build up that was a pretty soft finale really.

 

[gaskin]

Yeah pretty shit. They should have concluded all the Diaz stuff this season.

 

[DaveyBoy123]

I didn't mind the season finale, but it felt like they stretched about 15-20 minutes of good stuff into 42 minutes worth.

And it didn't exactly have me clamouring for next season (although you do get the feeling that the show can still be turned into something good).

Eh I didnt mind. In itself it wasnt a great ep, but I was kinda happy that Diaz is gonna be around a bit longer and look forward to the introduction of the longbow hunters. I just hope Diaz isnt killed off early to make them the primary villians next season but that is most likely what will happen.

I see they did a nod to the escape from Supermax story as well. Interested to see where they go next season now but they should prob wrap it up.
