My Name Is Emiko Queen

Episode 7.10 (3 out of 5 stars).

Emiko Queen steals the spotlight in this episode. Oliver is trying to discover who this new mysterious Green Arrow is. And the discovery does shock him. Diggle and Lyla make a questionable action about Diaz. Emiko is on a hunt for revenge.

The main story line is forgettable. The sub plot of Emiko going on revenge was entertaining. It was action packed. And it delivered.

Oliver Queen has a weird family. His mom fooled around and had a daughter who is missing for some reason, his dad has an affair with another and he too has a daughter. This show is turning into a soap opera.

Just watched punisher season 2 and know this is comparison is terrible. Writing is all over the place, the action is also terrible . The season was promising when Oliver was in prison: that was good. This stuff is just bad and cringey at most times. Season 5 was great, season 6 was bad, season 7 so far is ok but this episode I hate.

Half season almost passed, super girl is ok, flash is boring, arrow is fine.... probably last season got too many complaints which means the writers came to work from this season....but i still think "can we just let Diaz die!", I for 1, i don't care it will look reckless if u(writers) just end Diaz very soon, because a normal criminal existing that long is a Fxxxxxx miracle and illogical, ending him badly right now is even much better than keeping him like keeping a cancer bug for the health of this series....do not keep thinking like "oh we cant kill Diaz we can't take someone's life even he is a criminal, we only can bring him to justice!" because the criminal like Diaz like Bin Laden in our realistic world already got shot !!!!

Perhaps no different than most of this season, this week's episode was a mixed bag for me. I'm enjoying the ongoing introduction to Emiko Queen (much more than I am the Nora storyline on Flash) and perhaps a new mystery that goes along with that. But I could care less about anything involving Diaz or the flash forwards at this point. Seriously though, how many times can they bring the Diaz character back into the fold without realizing the fans don't care about him one bit. And the fact that it's Diggle & Lyla's decision to put him in the new version of the Suicide Squad will likely just further any sort of previous tension Dig and Ollie already had. The flash forwards also haven't been favorable, with Rene actually becoming the new Mayor (because we needed that, right?) as Dinah/Zoe further the split between Rene altogether. The idea that Oliver has officially joined the police force is still an appealing one, but execution will be key. Aside from that, it was just another week of Arrow.

7.5/10
