The episode was great! Great action! Loved the flashbacks! Loved the gritty angry GA and the smiling mayor Queen. The training was impressive, better than the lame training scene last season with the old team. There were some very emotional scenes with Oliver - the one with Ragman and the one with Felicity where he talks about Bratva. I like how he opens up to people.
But I also didn't like how Oliver was once again verbally abused by Curtis. What right he has to tell the man that risks his life for the city every day, that he does not bring people up, but tears them down. He is the person who made every single character on this show a hero, saved their souls and gave them purpose. How is he tearing them down.
And I read some opinion on FB from a fan who said something like:
that the Recruits should be the one who has to fight for Green Arrow' trust, not the other way around. They should feel privileged for being chosen and if they don't want to be part of what he is offering then they can go alone.
And I agree with that.
I also find it funny how they are trying to portray Felicity as the boss of GA, but in the end she is just named - 'Blondy'.
What I also didn't like is how fast he revealed his identity to the recruits and again based on an advice from Felicity, which in my opinion was not the right advice. The scene was not very impressive and the reaction from the newbies was very poorly acted.
