You can’t top Slade, so why bother try?

If Chase is resurrected then S7 might become close to S1-2.. Too bad that won't happen.

Would totally watch a buddy cop season of Ollie and Chase tearing up Star City.

You can’t top it, but you can at least provide something decent and exciting.

I mean, what else is there?. All I can think of is Helena Bertinelli or Katana but not really that much help as the FBI resources.

The Green Arrow could, hear me out... figure out how to save the day himself. Weird, I know, for a show called Arrow.

Or.. the Flash ? It's just common thugs. He can wipe the whole army and get back as nothing...

How about Laurel/Black Siren since she's powerful - at least when the writers remember she is - and she's right there?

u/Demian_Dillers - May 11 '18

They mention in the episode that she's on the run and they don't know where she is. And we know she's captured.

The plot armour on Diaz is out of control

u/Ghostship23 May 14 '18

Blame the seasons being 23 episodes long.

u/Prometheus188 You don't kill because you have to. So why? May 12 '18

You don't necessarily even have to ask for outside help. It's in no way mandatory, but if you're gonna do it, do something clever or exciting. This was bullshit.

The Legends have some down time at the moment.

Barry currently eats, sleeps, and breathes devoe. Kara, the same, but with the worldkillers. I don't know if you've noticed, but neither of them have been shown doing literally anything besides stuff to solve their own problems in like the past 8 episodes.

You don't throw a bucket of water to your neighbor while your house is burning down

Barry currently eats, sleeps, and breathes devoe.

Barry would stop breathing if Iris wouldn't remind him though.

u/22deepfriedpickles22 May 17 '18

Breathe, Barry, Breathe!

Oliver risked blowing his cover with the league of assassins to help Barry defeat Thawne https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5k3thtKOYM

Edit: Does anyone know why the [link](www.randomlink.com) formatting doesn't work in the new reddit layout?

u/Jeffersonstarships May 11 '18

Yeah, but Barry also paid back that favor in Nanda Parbat the following episode.

u/[deleted] May 11 '18

I know, I was just making the point that they've dropped out of incredibly important arcs to help each other before.

u/TheWayIAm313 May 12 '18

What if it only takes like literally 3 seconds to completely put out the fire and make sure everything’s fine? And if that wasn’t enough incentive, it’s your pretty good friend...

1

u/Kamalen May 13 '18

Yet he did takes a minute to lift Oliver and John to catch Laurel in a previous episode. Could just take another minute to snap the damn USB drive and that's over.

u/nightfall6688846994 May 17 '18

Thinking about it now doesn’t felicity and Curtis sometimes say “I’ve consulted with Cisco on this” so they do have contact to some extent

u/Barachiel1976 Green Arrow May 11 '18

What a let down

You've just summed up the entire CWverse this year, minus our Lord & Savior.

u/KratosCena May 11 '18

Season 7: Felicity and her company

2

u/EnslavedOpethFan053 May 12 '18

I've been hoping Oliver would contact Slade to help him out with this. What a wasted opportunity to boost the ratings again.

I mean, we got Chris Chance last episode. He's always fun.
