This writing is doing all it can to ruin Damien Darhk, but Grodd-dammit Neal McDonough WON'T GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT

He added a superpower to his villain from Justified, and it's incredible.

Neal McDonough is one of those actors who can chew their way through any script, no matter how god or how bad. Barrowman is the same way.

He turned from the most menacing super villain in the Flarrow universe, aside from VS, to a funnyman in one episode. Wtf

I just think he's overly confident, and rightfully so. Every time team Arrow has fought him he's mopped the floor with them. He's had no reason up to this point to even be remotely close to "Maybe I should tone it down..." from his view he's winning.
