    It doesn't make sense

    Cayden James is not a big man physically. He doesn't appear to carry any weapons or have any super powers. And yet all these hoods and villains just blindly follow his every command and kill whoever he wants to have killed. They also die for him in ridiculous shootouts and fights. Even Laurel with her death scream (there's a joke if there ever was one) could easily take him out, Yet she also just blindly follows him and does his will and bidding. It just doesn't make sense.

    Stepping it up

    The first half of the season apart from the deathstroke episodes were just ok. But the second half has really stepped it up with some good character development. If spoilers are true the next episode will be the one where Dragon is revealed as the main v illain. Looking forward to lots of Action. A solid episode, just the new team drama needs to end otherwise 9/10

    That's how you progress

    This is the best episode since the break the shows had. This tackled everything perfectly right from how the teams approached the problem in their own ways and how the villain is yet again a few steps further away from the team.

    The arc between Laurel and Quentin isn't clear yet and it looks like we have a mysterious mind behind everything that's happening this season. This episode wasn't just another filler like Flash, this was much more intense and I am definitely sure the events of this episodes play a very important role in the next few episodes and the way in which the team gets back looks like its going to be a terrific thing to watch after this.

    Hopefully looking forward to the rest of this season.

    Stepping it up

    It would seem as though Season 6 may be on to something, and hopefully, we are not wrong about that. Aside from some explosive action and uneasy alliances, coupled with compelling performances, "All for Nothing" is a sort of game-changer for the season. While Cayden James (Michael Emerson) is still a bad villain, at least they are making the most of him. The death of one character was extremely shocking and disturbing and it proves the fact that Arrow can and will hopefully continue to clear its huge roster.

    • Trivia
      At 17:36 Felicity says "Frack". This word originated in the original Battlestar Galactica series as a censor-friendly alternative to a four-letter word beginning with "f" and ending with "ck".
    • Goofs
      Given that Cayden James is a computer genius and a skeptic, it doesn't make sense that he wouldn't have checked the video and discovered that it was doctored before going through with his plan.
    • Quotes

      Cayden James: I may have underestimated you. It seems that you have more skill than I give you credit for.

      Vincent Sobel: I keep telling people I'm more than just a pretty face. Funny thing is I underestimated you, too.

      Cayden James: Is that right?

      Vincent Sobel: When you recruited me to help take this city from Oliver Queen, I didn't think you'd have the resolve to do what was necessary to make him fear you. I was wrong.

      Cayden James: Does that mean that you also fear me, Mr. Sobel?

      Vincent Sobel: I'd be a fool not to.
