Chase is the best live action comic villain in five years.
The best part of this episode was not only the upbeat music at the ending, but the intro title card had really depressing music instead of the usual Arrow theme. Nice little addition.
Really strong episode for Diggle. While I sort of find it hard to disagree that Chase should die by end means necessary, Diggle gave a pretty compelling speech and it was certainly rousing enough to pull Oliver back in the game.

Yep but as expected since he does it every season lol .
Pretty much, but at least unlike Barry, it came off naturally due to being so broken by Chase.

Holy shit, that eyeball stab.
Chase is quickly becoming one of the best superhero show villains

Well, that ending escalated quickly.
Agreed.
I've not even really bothered with the last handful of Supergirl episodes...
I've not watched the last two episodes of The Flash and Legends...
I've just caught up with spoilers it's not that they're not good shows they just have not been as great or as excellent as Arrow. It really is in a league of its own and is assassinating it's fellow CW shows. I'll talia Arrow has bounced back as CW's premier show faster than John Constantine could r'as a gul!

The action seemed unusually high quality this episode.
Anyone GIF that sweet dive through the window by Wild Dog?

A+, 18 for 18, 10/10 show is still kicking ass.
And iZombie's back next week? I don't deserve you CW, but I'll take it.

Now i understand why Laurel will be brought back. She will be the one that knock sense into Oliver. I was wrong i should have waited to finish the episode before saying that.

Another long break between eps? U.S tv schedules are the worst.
That's because the US shows are putting out 20+ hour long episodes per season. Not many countries have that kind of output other than soaps or reality shows.
Diggle has always been tranqs. Dude is the moral center of the team, as we saw tonight.
Rene uhhhh that's not a tranq sound effect lol

They want their shows on at key times. Alternative is like 30+ episodes which nobody would want and episodes around Christmas and such would tank in the ratings anyway.
And sometimes Sports and such have an impact now and then.
Sometimes shows schedules are stupid though like Once Upon A Time a few seasons ago:
3 episodes, off 2, 1 episode, off 3, 3 episodes, off 1, 2 episodes, off 3, 3 episode, off 1, etc
I will take it and say cisco or Felicity made it so i can live in peace
Too bad he has to share the episode run times with the utter dead-air that is the Bratva storyline...

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I think it all hinges on whether we see Kovar again this season. If they're saving him for next year, Anatoli will certainly be a part of it.

I'm Late-Watching
- Chase's face can't be captured on camera? Nice Ghost in the Shell tie in. He's The Laughing Man
- Diggle is stealing the show this episode.
- Bringing back the idea of atonement from earlier in the season. Very nice.
- This is the second Kord Industries name-drop in a CW show this week. Weird.
- Kacey Rohl is my new CW megacrush. I think she's totally going to be Evil Felicity cause that's sorta the actress' thing (unassumingly dangerous people) but still *swoon*
- Fight scenes in this episode are pretty dope. I'll avoid making another disparaging remark about the Netflix martial arts show that couldn't muster even one fight as good as these
Really loving how consistent this season has been theme wise. Basically every arc has been about accepting responsibility for mistakes. Even dealing with the Bratva. They didn't just show up, Oliver made a mistake bringing them and it has to be dealt with.

Im seeing a lot of dissenting opinions on the episode complaining about how its just another morality play for Oliver and that we've seen all this before...
But did they or did they not realize that Star City's Mayor called a hit on a DA in Police Custody and planned to pay the BRATVA in Diabetes and TB drugs so the BRATVA can make a street drug worse than Heroin.......
Straight up killing people is one thing....
Oliver pretty much causing a drug pandemic is another.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Just in case anyone was worried about a certain character dying. I didn't think they'd kill them off, but they seem pretty safe.

I was *so* happy that happened in Legends.

Going into the episode I was a bit concerned about that being the case, but I thought it worked. It only lasted the span of one episode instead of being an on going arc. This felt more like an episode about Oliver's depression. Oliver's journey has been about becoming something more and Chase completely undermined the foundation of that. It's a slight retread, but I think it works better here than when they've done it before.
Now if people want to talk about repeated story beats, they just need to tune into The CW on Tuesdays at 8pm EST.
Nope
As established last week and in Season 1, Oliver is just a psychopath and crazy

Chase wasn't even fazed with his identity being revealed. This guy was just whistling all happy without a care in the world.
Once again, another fantastic episode. Diggle really stole the show with his hope in Oliver. It's sad seeing Ollie and Anatoly become bitter enemies. I wonder if Adrian will get the Bratva to work with him.

The blood on Chase's shirt during the last scene was from his gunshot wound re-opening, right?
Isn't he even more dangerous now? I'm really curios to see how team Arrow bounces back.
