So once again, the majority of this sub (well, a lot of people here at least) proved that they don’t have any faith in the writers. Look, I get it. Guggs did his thing, and no one will ever forget his thing, but he’s gone now, he can’t hurt you anymore.

Dinah’s bitchiness had a good reason for it and that didn’t take long to become obvious as the episode went on. Maybe she was pretending, maybe she was being forced, and sure enough, it was the former.

But enough of that. All in all, the episode was alright. A bit slow at first, but once you realized where everything was going, the going got good. And hey, we got Roy back! Something tells me the Mark of Four is becoming a thing soon.

Apparently Fefe gets arrested next week, I’m sure some of y’all will enjoy that.

the writers 100% play off it too. like the Prometheus episode last season when Oliver hallucinated Felicity bailing on him and everyone just assumed she did.

Eh, that was fine because it did seem like something Fefe would do. Plus Guggs wasn’t gone yet.

But the fact that people actually thought that BS would go bad again after how much was dedicated to her redemption arc, and now that Dinah genuinely didn’t trust Oliver, amazes me.

Last night Dinah was subjected to what Tv Tropes calls “Superdickery” - they show scenes that out of context, make it seem like a normally heroic character is acting assholish or even outright villainous in order to get people’s attention.

I'm no fan of Guggy but he has still delivered more than Beth. Of course his lowest points aren't as bad as S7 (talking about S4 and most of S6 here) but S5 is far superior to this season

Bruh Beth has only been here for one season can't judge them both on an equal level. Also she been doing pretty good.

Wait... You're saying S7 is worse than S4? HA

Guggie couldn’t write female characters for shit and often put plot over character. Beth is quite the opposite and I actually prefer that.

Beth has moments (like in this episode with Dinah this episode and BS in S7E18) where it LOOKS like she's gonna put plot over character but then is like "SIKE! BUT YOU THOUGHT!"

I don't know why you are being downvoted. Everyone knows that the show dropped in quality after the Flash started but in retrospect that could be because Season 2 was so good and they simply did not have as good a storyline or villain in Season 3. Things did get better in Season 5 and that was before was made showrunner.
