Arrowprides itself on being the dark, gritty and dangerous arm of the ever-growing DC TV Universe (a.k.a.
Arrowverse, depending on your stomach for puns).
Arrow does a lot with high-concept villains and city-ending plots that are very much responsible for its enduring fanbase.
In the comic books, we can turn out back on villains of the week with ease.
Thea was back in a big way for Sin-Eater.
As a result, it was refreshing to see Thea play a key part.
Oliver has been dating Susan Williams, his least-shipped relationship to date.
Oliver is rightfully furious, a woman who he (liked?)
had her life ruined after all.
What finally made the arc interesting was how relatively unapologetic Thea was.
Its also fun to see returning villains rather than brand new ones.
After all, you dont build an extended universe to not use it.
Sadly, the ladies doing a good job by being onscreen was it for the night.
Those hoping to get a dose of girl power were sadly left lacking.
Perhaps its a matter of expectations rather than delivery.
