Anyways I beat s5 the last few days and that really was good as I've heard, villain was great, twists were great, bad drama was kept to a minimum... aside from 1 terrible terrible bottle episode near the end of Oliver/Felicity trapped in the bunker that makes me fear the next season... but for s5 it was a tolerable minimum. New cast is alright I guess, Ragman is fantastic but =/ not so central yet. I was actually really liking the Lance/Thea dynamic early in but then she kinda vanished from the show... but eh, being chief of staff wasn't helping her character.
... also tho oh man good guy Slade. What a final cliffhanger, I guess I'm glad I could just skip toward the next ep for the aftermath.
Few episodes into s6 though... I'm not feeling the same retained interest that s5 was giving me. I always heard that s5 was like a good revival for the show, so now I'm wondering what the next seasons reputations are. I'll mention again that I despise Olicity screentime which this is starting out pretty focused on, to the point where I don't really recognize any other longterm issue yet, 4 eps in. ---
