Even if they do that, having her go from normal for several episodes in a row to "suddenly insane" will be stupid. They just did that on Grimm too, taking a good character who was a good person for about 80 episodes and then basically having them suddenly turn dark and evil to the point where her almost-fiancee told his allies to kill her on sight. And she was indeed killed in the season finale.

Yeah, at this point they could try to salvage that whole stupid thing by circling back to it next year, but it's going to be dumb as bricks either way.

Katana/Tatsu owns. Didn't know of the character (dont know much about DC) but she sold it to me and actually managed to act every now and then unlike many others in the cast. Was happy when she finally put on a ridiculous hero costume because I thought she'd become a more permanent cast member or something but nope she went back to her homeplanet at the end I guess???

I would not have minded her sticking around but the show already has too many members of Team Arrow, she would have wound up as under-served as Roy

He could still bang her, in flashback. He could always use another vaguely maternal love interest who's also Asian.

Batman's no kill rule makes sense internally. Traumatized by the murder of his parents, kid literally has anger issues so profound he has to beat the poo poo out of criminals with his bare hands to cope.. And he can't kill them lest he become what he hates, a killer. Not to mention he's already going beyond the law because the cops are failures in his eyes and corrupt as gently caress to boot.

On top of that, it made it that much more impactful and badass when Batman did commit his one, righteous kill. Darkseid.

They got on different freighters. She was like, "I'ma go be mopey," and Ollie was like, "I'm also gonna go be mopey, but in this direction instead."

I actually thought the Katana costume looked incredible but it's probably because I first saw Katana in her classic Outsiders costume and, well.

I hope this next season they remove Felicity from the show, leave everything else in status quo, and never talk about this season again. Like, the only explanation you get is "Yeah, it didn't work out" and that's the only thing that's discussed from last season. Speedy, Merlyn, and everyone else is treated like they were always in those positions.

Create an alternate timeline where Eddie and Felicity get together. Feliciddie.

Actually, that'd probably explain Eobard. He seems to know a lot about computers. Don't do that either, Barry.

Remove Oliver and Felicity both, they've become terrible characters. Ignore the League of Assassins entirely so we never have to see Merlyn again. Bring Nyssa back for Laurel so nothing of value is lost. Make Diggle the Arrow so we have a hero we can actually look up to. Have Detective Lance get over his hate and go back to his season 2 personality.

Keep Thea as Red Arrow (or is it Speedy?) and season three actually cool Laurel as Black Canary.

Those are my hopes that will no doubt never happen.

Your second paragraph/sentence will. (And she's Speedy.)

I am a little baffled as to why they didn't do the 'Nyssa walks out as the rest of the League kneel to Merlyn' ending, I mean I literally can't think of a character motivation that makes sense for her to submit to the guy that killed her lover and is claiming credit for killing her father (even though she probably knows it was Oliver).

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. She'll stick around and bide her time, accidentally cut her finger while cleaning his sword then lop his head off and take her rightful place as R'as.

Is it just me, or did this show use both the Roz and Raysh pronunciations pretty much interchangeably when referring to the Demon Head? I seem to remember both, but I could be mistaken.

They did. It reminded me of how native Italian speakers say Mozzarella versus how native English speakers do.

And Malcolm was Giada de Laurantis because he's not a native speaker but he goes over the top in his obnoxious pronunciation because he wants to fit in.
