It's always great to see Slade in action. What I like about that particular sequence is it perfectly highlights the difference between someone like Slade and someone like Oliver when they fight. Oliver only kills when absolutely necessary, whereas Slade has no such issues.

I thought that the mid-season finale set up the second half rather nicely. I am interested to see how [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Oliver is going to deal without his team and with the FBI on his back, especially now that we know there is a whole group of bad guys allied against him.

Anywho, I was kinda iffy on the mid-season finale, but the current episode I enjoyed more than I thought. The separation of A team and B team should be interesting... or stupid depending on how it plays out.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Where were the mob bosses muscle.
They were three guys, and the kiss girl bleeds the same as anyone.
If you don't have an endless supply of foot soldiers, you're not a mob. And claiming you're the last member doesn't explain why someone hasn't taken the docks from you by now, without anyone to defend them.

Cayden James must have something on Black Siren. Why else wouldn't she respond to his naked threat by screaming in his face?

So I guess Cayden James was a red herring, even though the episode did a good job with the emotion grab I felt. William's still sometimes annoying though, and Dinah's bloodlust has gotten predictably annoying. [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Vince was a real loss since he was pretty cool for the most part up to that point...
Still not enjoying this as much as season 5, but compared to some of the earlier worse seasons it hasn't really been terrible either.
So who was in the wrong here the most? I don’t know anymore at this point honestly. Way I see it though, Curtis had no business standing on some moral high ground (over Rene getting beat up and sent to a hospital) when he hacked into Diggle’s arm implant chip or whatever, crippling him. Dinah has still been the most annoying though, but was surprised she could even be convinced to suppress her bloodlust.
Dina and them are worse IMO. Because for all their criticism and moral indignation of Oliver and his team, they've ended up doing the same stuff in return. Lied to them, withheld info, bugged them, and then even picked a fight with them. And then they still had the nerve to act like the morally outraged ones at the end of the show.

I like Dinah but Curtis and Rene can go. I feel thay are just wasting Mr. Terrific as a character. When Felicity is smarter than him, that's a problem.
Well, original Laurel's cry was tech-based. Black Siren is her Earth 2 Doppelganger who was originally brought to Earth 1 by Zoom. And Dinah was caught mid-scream when the particle accelerator explosion that gave the Flash and many of the other metas their powers went off.
I wonder what the whole [SPOILER - highlight to read]: LoS deal was at the end. IIRC, Nyssa disbanded it. Though considering the whole "the one who survives Ra's blade is destined to become Ra's" prophecy shtick, Thea technically does qualify as a candidate.

So this is what's been going on? I've completely passed on this season and really only decided to check it out because of the crossover. Still it hasn't reached S4 levels of horrible so there's that.
Speaking of which I wonder why there hasn't really been a push for Nyssa or Lyla to join Oliver officially on his team. Its unlikely but those two could phase out some of the baggage on his new squad IMO.
