At this point the entire B-team annoys me. I've been holding out for Mr. T but hes officially their now too.

I prefer the term traitor.While I'm no fan of 'Wild Dog' and would love for him to go away, calling him a traitor for behaving pretty much exactly like Oliver does when someone threatens someone he loves like his sister, or his current girlfriend, or his annoying son, seems over the top.
Hmm I don't know see I feel like his action ended up putting him and his daughter in far worse danger and still continues to do so.
All I know is I'm guessing Thea is going to have to decide if she wants the position as the Demon's Head or not.
If Thea wants to be the new Ras, she needs to train hard, and soon. She's been out of the game for a while, and wouldn't be that hard to challenge for the position.
She gets no points for being Malcolm's daughter, any more than Nyssa did for being her father's daughter -- what apparently matters to the League is the former Ras's designated heir. Did Malcolm pick Thea to succeed him? Does that sound like a good way to protect his daughter? Dunno, maybe to him it would. But it's easier to see him wanting her to join the League while he was Ras, in order to protect her.
All that said, Thea as the new head of the League would be interesting, except in that it probably just stuffs that character into the generic LoA role of "mercenary pretending to be something more." The Arrowverse LoA is boring, even if one or two of its members are not, and every unnamed member seems to be a mook-in-training rather than one of the most highly skilled assassins in the world.
Damon,
That may be but remember these writer guys are PRETTY inconsistent about who runs LoA. I will agree they need better Assassins.

I really liked this week's episode. Much better than the last few.
What was different? No Rene.
It isn't the actor, I like him just fine. But the character annoys me to no end.
Agreed. Though honestly the episode before last may have been the nadir point of virtually EVERYONE on the show outside of Felicity acting like completely d##+~eads. I've forgiven a lot of this show's wangsty middle school dramatics over the years but that whole ep was awful.
Thankfully last week got back on track. Bringing the LoA back... eh, don't love them, don't hate them. Nyssa is usually entertaining. At least it promises a shift in focus from the dregs of the last couple of weeks.
In addition to the Federal/local divide (or lack of one, in this case), I'm not sure the writers understand impeachment, at least if it works the same way as the process for impeaching the President.
Impeachment and removal from office are not the same. You have a vote for impeachment, there is a trial, and then a vote to remove from office or not. The kind of skipped right over the trial part and went right to removing Ollie from office.
I just keep telling myself that it's a TV show, but if the writers are trying to propose a world that works like ours except for the mystical elements they introduce, it looks like they need to do a bit more research.
The alley behind SCPD was used in the flashback on Black Lightning. I was just surprised about seeing Roy's old house.
Black Lightning is filmed around Atlanta Georgia I believe. Seems very unlikely that Black Lightning can resuse any sets from the other CW shows, all of which are filmed around Vancouver.
Greenie,
I've always excused the lack of plot thinking to the fact they can't keep Oliver from killing people...among other things.
They did and it failed. I do like his daughter better then oliver's son however.
Also FReaking rocket launcher WTF.
No one ever said this series had any LEGAL sense.

While I know that they try to avoid having people from other shows show up and solve their problems, I was kind of wondering if they'd make an exception for Laurel, by calling the Flash crew and asking if she could be Breached back home (and away from Diaz's inevitable retribution), since faux-Laurel already was from another show (and we know from the gadget that Cisco made for Supergirl that Breaching someone doesn't even require Cisco to be present).
Normally I'd actually prefer for the Arrow crew to solve their own problems, rather than have every episode dissolve into 'why not just call Barry, he'll have it dealt with before we could get our costumes on...'
But in this case, Laurel's already a cross-show/cross-world traveler, and I think it would be a little bit hilarious for Diaz to menace her and for her to pull out a gizmo and fade into a breach, while noting that he's a big fish in this very small pond, while she's not even from his *world.*
Set, that makes a lot of sense to me. You're probably correct that it's only not being done because the writers want to control the cross-pollination.
There's also the fact that more of that sort of thing could require more precise timekeeping than is currently necessary. Over on Flash, for example, Supergirl would obviously be a huge help in taking down DeVoe, especially since Braniac 5 is currently on hand as well. But they've got serious Worldkiller problems, so...what? Team Flash calls and she sends her regrets? All the CW shows go from small-c crisis to small-c crisis, with few breaks in between. Having to calendar coordinate those breaks across four series, to know when one set of heroes might be available to aid another, would be a pain to maintain all season.
Sorry, big digression there. Yes, Laurel could be safely sent off-world without any of that hugely complicated stuff I wandered off into.
Frankly I think laurel should ever so sweetly get down close to whisper in Diaz ear take a deep breath and blow his brain out the other ear... Its probably for the best I don't have super powers.
Batwoman!!
CW upfronts today announced that next season's crossover event will introduce Gotham City to the Arrowverse, along with Batwoman!
Looks like its time for me to catch up on gotham.
I'm guessing it won't have any connection to the TV show Gotham.CW upfronts today announced that next season's crossover event will introduce Gotham City to the Arrowverse, along with Batwoman!Looks like its time for me to catch up on gotham.
Oh well then never mind.
I dunno if any of that is related, but it might be. Also I'm not sure a president can pardon you twice for what is essentially the same crime. But we'll see.
And yeah my understanding is, this Gotham isn't the Gotham on TV, so much as it is Arrowverse Gotham and Batwoman.
As a note upside down world laurel is a complete idiot. <.< >.> or is really good at this double agent stuff.
Vid,
Both are not mutually exclusive.
Green,
Nah I'm pretty sure it's probably Earth-1 or what ever Red Rain version might be there...
So, this season, instead of flashbacks to the island, we're getting flash forwards?

Yes. I read they're 20 years in the future, and not connected to the Legends of Tomorrow S1 episode set in Star City's future. Also, that they'll continue not only for the rest of the season, but for multiple seasons going forward.
I assume the new (current time) Green Arrow is
The island scene threw me a bit.

This was where I read it. It actually says "two decades" rather than 20 years, so it could be rounded and actually be more like 17 years I guess.
good point. The weird thing to m is how close the prison flash and the prison arrow episodes are. Just one season away. At least Ollie is actually guilty so there is that.

I was less interested in the design being from the comics, and more interested in trying to decide whether it was a panic button signalling Rene/Dinah/Curtis, a tracking device, or both.
