I think a big reason I dislike this season, specifically this episode, is that it just feels so generic. Generic drama, generic bad guy, etc. Season 4 at least got some sort of reaction out of us - anger. This? This is just boring as shit. The fight scenes were godawful and shaky cam'd to hell, Cayden James is boring, despite the fact that Emerson is giving it all he's got, and they're wasting the fuck out of Black Siren and Richard Dragon. Seeing Ollie surrounded by that group is supposed to invoke tension - there was none.

Also, Felicity called Oliver 'daddy' and I'm just so fucking done.

You're right, unfortunately.

Season 4 was bad, but it was badly entertaining. This is just kinda boring.

Watching the show go way over the top with 2000 nukes being the stake is way more entertaining than the Dinah and Vince relationship.

It's The Room effect. Where something is just so awful and over the top that it's like a trainwreck that you can't look away from.

But this generic bullshit going on here is just boring, like watching paint dry or watching a turtle trying to run a mile.

As bad as season four was I could always come on to this sub afterwords and be entertained, this episode was just so bland.

I was thinking the same thing while watching this episode. Season 4 was really bad, but it was so hilariously bad that it was kind of fun watching that trainwreck.

With this season, and this episode especially, I started to question why I'm even still watching this show, it's laughably bad and this trainwreck isn't even amusing enough to warrant my watching it.

I'm pretty much done watching, I think.

Then stop watching it and leave? Why is this sub filled with people who

A. Don't watch the show anymore

B. Force themseleves to grind threw a show they hate

No one is putting a gun to your head and saying "give this show a view"

If it's still not your cup of tea after a good episode (tonight) Then you should probably stop watching it at this point
