  Can't say i did enjoy it much no, lol. She's a pointless character, and the actress has the acting ability of a shoe. Yeah i've seen the trailer for that spin off, she's already putting me off it. I'll be honest i may have been being generous when i said the Constantine show had 4 fans, two maybe.
  They're clearly making these flashbacks up as they go now, the island is now being used to grow drugs and is magical, ok then.

  Yeah, the powers that be have clearly lost the plot with the island. To be honest though, the whole back story thing is starting to get old now. It was cute for the first couple of seasons, now its really starting to grate. Started off all serious, now its all about drugs, magical artefacts, constantine inexplicably showing up..its a mess. As concerns the most recent episode (on a week of pretty average episodes pretty much across the board) this was a very average episode. Still, atleast it looks as though Sarah is gonna clear off now. Good riddance.

  I think the problem with the flashbacks is they had him leave the island too early in them, they set the time he claimed as 5 years and had him leave in two. At which point they had to say where he went, and now as they are one year away from his 5 year date (provided each season is one year) they needed to find an excuse to get him back on there, so magical drug smuggling gang they choose for that. Because.... reasons.
  Glad to the dead eyed walking pout gone again, even if it's temporary.

  I completely forgot about the whole length of time he was actually missing for (5 years..well remembered). The story waseffective during his first stint on the island, should have just kept him there for the flashback story, posing different challenges / threats. Too have Oliver then get back to civalisation and then get returned to the island. Nah, have had enough of the flashbacks. Is it that the powers that be cant pull enough out the bag to fill the present day story so the flasbacks are a fallback even though, for me, they are now hurting the show as they are taking preposterous to new highs. Yeah, dont let the door hit you on the ass on your way out Sara lol.

  I'm big on remembering details with shows, it's why most procedural crime shows just piss me off (like an actual story arc) and why i remember the little details in this (Also why i am certain the tattoo Oliver now has, which he got on the island from Constantine apparently, wasn't there until this episode). i might be ocd lol.
  But anyway back on topic, honestly i wouldn't have minded if they had him leave the island earlier in the flashback than 5 years, but not as early as they did. They could have had a 2 year on, 2 year off for the plot they covered in last seasons flashbacks and had him return to the island so he could be discovered to get rescued so he could go home (without raising weird questions). As it is now it's too made up on the fly to make sense.
  I think i've gone on a long enough rant about Sara now, i'll stop lol.

  Oh, we can never abuse Sara enough. She is completely useless after all haha. As on most occassions i watch the show after it has recorded, the last couple of episodes i have found myself actually skipping through some oof the island scenes. They are not working for me at all this season. As far as the most recent episode goes, the fight scene towards the end was pretty good but apart from that..really dont give two shits about Diggle's brother.

  I'm going to avoid having more digs at Sara, for one post at least lol. Hopefully they have a plan for the next series flashbacks (provided there is another series) rather than the obviously made up on the fly magical drug island flashback. Found Diggle annoying in the last episode, his whole i refuse to try and help my brother bit, didn't fit with anything he's said previously.

  Have not posted on Arrow for a couple of weeks. I did enjoy the customary Flash / Arrow 2 part cross over with them going up against the Immortal Vandal Savage (and best of all no island visit..yay). The most recent episode was good but oh so predictable. Just knew something was going to happen to..whoops, almost spoiler. Its safe to assume that the team will not take Damien Dark so lightly from here on in.

  While Damien Darkh has been a good villian, they are really making the heroes look useless when they struggle so much with what are basically soldiers (they could fight the superpowered enhanced soldiers of Slade Wilson but make it look difficult fighting ordinary men). I something was going to happen to a certain person 5 minutes into the episode lol.

  Think the moment of avoiding spoilers has passed...it was so bleedin obvious that something was going to happen to Felicity and that whole drawn out sequence at the end of the pre christmas break episode confirmed it. Dont get me wrong though, still anxious for the show to return (why i it shows tend to vanish all at once before christmas but trickle back after...gits).
