Arrow took us to John Diggle’s wedding and then to a fictional land for a Suicide Squad mission.
It was a little weird.
If you hurt her, theyll never find your body.
With that line, this weeks episode ofArrowpeaked, never to return.
It would appear that I was wrong.
As weve carried on throughArrowseason three, things have been uneven.
Its not only frustrating, its ridiculous.
For real,Arrow?
You bring in one of the most memorable supervillains of the last forty years andthisis his grand plan?
Get the hell out of here with that nonsense.
Ray Palmer came off like he was legitimately unhinged this week.
Well, at least that hero vs. hero sequencelookeddamn good.
Im really impressed with how the ATOM suit functions.
The flying effects were good (if not spectacular), and I like the general aesthetic.
I like it well enough, I guess.
I just dont love it.
Really, though…Suicidal Tendencies wasnt very good.
It was just a series of inconsequential half-stories.
Could that Suicide Squad mission have been any less exciting?
Did they spend the entire budget on the ATOM suit this week?
Because the Suicide Squad showdown in a cafeteria really didnt cut it.
gets to witness an Arrow murder.
I feel like Ive seen all of this before, and I dont particularly care how it resolves.
Its like this wasnt even the same series that weve been watching in the previous two episodes.
Meanwhile…On a…no, wait a minute!
Im really happy that we finally got some more background on Floyd Lawton/Deadshot.
Im not at all happy that they went about this the way they did.
If youre looking to humanize this character, then a sum total of five minutes of flashbacks arent enough.
Good on the show for drawing attention to the Wounded Warrior Project at the end.
They do good work and deserve our support.Learn more about them here.

I have to call shenanigans on the inclusion of the Suicide Squad this week.
The continued threat of another Cupid appearance is going to cast a long shadow over this season.
I think I do wanna die, Deadshot quipped.
Yes…I feel about the same way every time Cupid shows up.
They introduced HIVE this week!
They rose to prominence during Marv Wolfmans often forgotten early 80s pre-Crisis run on Superman inAction Comics.
Hes about as exciting as he seemed here.
Ray and Ollie fight at the Meltzer Power Plant.
