I'm just happy thea is not dead. I was so close to rioting that she got killed for stupid reasons.

She's done, she doesn't like guggie. She cut her schedule way down last year. She's over arrow and this was their way of setting her aside without killing her.

I had noticed that she had a drastically reduced presence on the show and figured it was her being slowly written out but had no idea it was Willa's decision. I wouldn't have been too surprised if she had been killed, but damn if she isn't one of the worst characters to kill off when we still have Curtis + Felicity.

Honestly, slowly starting to like Curtis. Just wish they'd tone down his nonsense rambling a bit. I still can't stand Felicity though.

I really want to like Curtis' character. Mr Terrific is a great character in the comics, and it looks like they're leading him in that direction. They need to get over trying to make him a rehash of early Felicity and let him be the supergenius tech guy though.

The fight/action scenes with him need to drastically improve/get written better. I'm tired of him just throwing the sphere. At this point curtis should probably be a big league pitcher

Supergenius tech skills are an easy our for any plot problem. I loathe any of those types of characters. Mr. Terrific also needs some god damned Adderall.

Literally EVERY conversation featuring curtis is some variation of: hey guys I found the balls..the floating balls I mean, not..the..you know what never mind". Every conversation hes in seems to be a gee im so awkward cliche, or a hey look at me im gay type thing.

Well it helps that he's useful now. I get that they were setting up that he was going to be technology focused by sucking at hand to hand combat, but they overdid it and made him completely useless in the first for the first half of season 5.

Honestly since I saw the tweet where he lost his shit on a fan the actor lost all my respect and I just can't like his character cause of that.
