Arrow - Spoilers galore

I don't mind that they are doing the splinter group, but...it's dragging too long. Good for an episode or two, but beyond that, it's becoming repetitive and redundant. The season overall has been alright. I still like it for the most part.

I do think they need to off either Laurel or the other girl. 2 screamers is too much. Pick one and let's move on.

I don’t mind that they splintered off, I hate that they are constantly whining and insulting to Oliver when he was right to suspect them in the first place. They are always talking like Oliver betrayed their trust when it was Wild Dog who literally betrayed Oliver.

The new group chose to go after Dinah’s boyfriend (with a healing factor) instead of a bomb that would kill hundreds of people. Oliver also correctly identified this as a trap but when it doesn’t go their way, and the villains get away with the bomb, they expect he and Diggle to apologize to them. The new team were the ones clearly in the wrong there and could have gotten tons of people killed.

And last night Wild Dog says something like “every time we go with Oliver we end up in a deadly situation”. He says it in an accusatory way. But they were the ones who willingly joined him in going on dangerous vigilante missions, so what did they expect? Not to mention the fact that Wild Dog was doing that stuff anyway before he even met team Arrow.

It drives me crazy how terrible and hypocritical they all are while the show’s tone seems like it’s giving them a pass.
