The episode felt a little all over the place jumping between the Oliver scenes, Diggle scenes and the flashbacks, but it's still more enjoyable than most of last season. I think they're starting to head in the right direction again.
I see that they're borrowing some ideas from the Daredevil series with these one-take fight scenes. It's well-fit for these types of characters.
Prometheus?, omg, i really liked this episode.
Why am I still watching this rubbish...
This should have been the first episode of the season that would have been a better star. Love the new team, rags guy is cool and so is Prometheus. Also I like Curtis. Hope the rest of the season is this good.
Nobody is born knowing and changes that take us out of our comfort zone we do not always like
I feel like I should give them extra points for figuring out how to make the flashbacks kinda relevant again
So far so good, I hope it stays like this
i like Arrow as dark and distant kinda like the first season, but HELL, Felecity calls him and yells at him and then he goes to her and talk soft. WHAAAAAAAAAT!!! is this ARROW or bachelorette!
The episode was alright. I still dislike Felicity Smoak as a character who acts as Oliver's conscience. Introducing "Ragman" was interesting. It will be interesting to see how the writers will write for Artemis, Curtis, and Wild Dog.

Okay, this was actually... pretty good? My expectations for this show have been so low for such a long time, but this episode, as well as the previous one, pleasantly surprised me. Maybe there is hope for Arrow after all.
I don't really care about the new team, at least not yet, and I would sell my soul to get Laurel back, but Ragman was very cool. The Bratva flashbacks are a lot better than last season's crap, and Diggle's storyline is interesting too. The fight scenes were pretty great.
The scene in which Thea offers Quentin a job was heartfelt and emotional.
I don't hate Felicity as a character, and I don't really dislike Olicity either. The only thing I truly despise is the unnecessary drama that the writers kept throwing their way in seasons 3 and 4 instead of focusing on the actual superhero stuff. Seeing Felicity's new boyfriend - who is just painfully bland, by the way - made me want to roll my eyes. You can just feel Oliver's manpain and all the angst that we'll have to suffer through when he finds out about Detective Boring Dude. I mean, you can say what you want about Olicity, but the truth is, if they had just gotten married last season, we would've been spared a lot of nonsensical bullshit and maybe season 4 would've been more bearable. Let's hope the showrunners don't lose their way again and stop turning this show into some crappy rom-com. I really want this season to be good.
