Last week had a rating of 0.868 million viewers. Don't let the get you to watch with one good action promo. There's a ton of ways to watch it without using CW. And since tweets are counted by Nelison even if they're negative -- don't tweet using the show's name or the characters, and don't tweet to or reply to the official Twitter accounts.
The only way season 7 has a chance of being good is if the ratings get so low CW and/or DC force a change. We need a reset!

I don't understand why everyone is so butt hurt about this season, It's actually becoming such a great season, We're getting back Roy, There is huge conflict between every member, Oliver is on his own WEARING SEASON 1 HOOD and everyone is bitching that it isn't as good as season 1 2 or 3. Like come one, Personally I'm loving this season, We've seen enough action/fights and we still get enough of it to suffice, The show isn't always gonna be Oliver finding some to go fight, Nah I wanna see conflict with close people like Digg & Ollie and I want to see Ollie on his own in the s1 hood. Ya'll don't even know what's coming.

It's because they took way too long to make it good. Seasons 3 and 4 gradually got bad- it didn't happen immediately.
Season 5 was so good and the cliffhanger had us hooked to the point where we were aching to see what was going to happen in Season 6.. the quality changed way too fast and that's why we are butthurt. While it is getting better, you gotta admit that we were teased with Season 5 then shat on with first-half Season 6.

Oliver: My trail of bodies doesn't include my brother.
Diggle: But it does include your mother, your best friend Tommy and your love interest laurel.
I was just thinking, if in the "invasion" framework(sorry) diggle sees himself as arrow and the framework shows what the person inside it wants, then doesn't Oliver want to marry laurel and not felicity? Isn't that his inner wish to be with laurel?

Yep! Oliver told Laurel that he had everything he wanted and he was afraid he was about to lose it. After he "met" Felicity and remembered having sex with her he went straight back to Laurel and begged her to marry him right then and there. Not something he'd do if he loved Felicity.

I’ll say it. This is worse than season 4. Unless there is a DRASTIC change in writing, we’re totally f*cked. This is over.
What an absolutely embarrassing disgrace this has become.
Oh look evil laurel switched sides for the 40th time this season
Oh look everybody hates mean bad person Oliver
Oh look felicity is the most annoying POS in the history of television and is leaving Oliver AGAIN
Nobody cares about this crybaby soap opera bullshit. Nobody cares about fefe & Oliver’s dumbass little kid. NOBODY. We watch(ed) this show because we LOVE Oliver & LOVE watching him kick ass. Period. Oliver is the good guy and the reason everybody watches. about time you figure it out f*cking clown idiots.
Season 1 & 2 were amazing. 3 was good. Even 5 was solid. I have no idea how we got here.

Felicity and olicity. The entire show took a different track once she was kept past her appearance in S1E3. I swear she has to have some serious blackmail material on someone. There's no way to explain how she became the main character and how the show got renewed with the shitty numbers it has.

So you want a show were everyone loves Ollie and he always is kicking ass, THAT TAKES THE WHOLE FUN OUT OF IT, Right now I can almost guarantee you that Ollie is gonna be ALL ALONE and kicks fucking ass. Just trust me, Tomorrow is gonna be a good one.

u/EarthPrimeArchivist Apr 12 '18
Tomorrow is gonna be a good one.
It's going to have olicity drama. One good action scene isn't going to make a good episode.
So you want a show were everyone loves Ollie and he always is kicking ass, THAT TAKES THE WHOLE FUN OUT OF IT,
Nobody said we wanted no drama. We're tired of the same drama over and over.

How the hell does Oliver keep loosing fights? He trained for five years straight, learned from Ra's Al Ghul and has beaten some of the best fighters in the world.
What the hell has happened to this show?

It's that only women can be good leaders based on new Hollywood TRUTH. Have you seen any series where an adult male is a good person and a leader? nope.

Fake!Laurel is totally going to Vertigo Ollie into hallucinating that Felicity is leaving him.

u/EarthPrimeArchivist Apr 12 '18
She's not fake, she is Laurel Lance, just from another Earth.
Don't give them any ideas!

FINALLY A GOOD FUCKING SCENE AND THIS STUPID BITCH FELICITY COMES AND RUINS THE SCENE

u/Techellen1089 Jan 25 '24
I liked felicity a lot but she was bugging me too on that scene
I would have politely told her to leave.

They barely got some hits in and the writers just stop it. Come on we wanted to see a knockout.

Fuck Felicity, she ruins every scene she appears in. Someone finally gave Olibur the talking to he needed (thank you Digg) and she has to interject. Hopefully this progress doesn't go to waste.
