Lyla and Diggle – a not so typical honeymoon – “Suicidal Tendencies” (3.17)
Granted the Arrow spinoff plate is kind of full, but I’d love watching a whole series on the adventures of the Diggles, baby and all. It would especially work if they brought the Suicide Squad along for laughs. I don’t believe Deadshot is dead, but wasn’t it great to see him go out the way he did? He was actually a hero in his killer for hire sort of way. But better yet, the Diggles go on their normal dangerous mission for A.R.G.U.S. instead of a honeymoon and then realize somewhere along the way, “Hey, we’ve got a baby at home. Why are we doing this?” Kind of fun when common sense hits the action hero, don’t you think? Fine, I liked it. Anyway, they won’t stay inactive for long. You can’t keep a great team down like this.
Great list, Alice. To be honest, i wasn’t sure there were ten highlights, but you found them. I especially liked Thea’s reaction to Oliver revealing himself as the Arrow. I can’t believe she was written as so mature. And Laurel — whose name is the best, I must say 😉 — did have a good arc. I very much enjoy her and Nyssa’s friendship/mentorship, especially as both have something to off the other, making it much less one-sided. The rest was spot on. It was a very uneven season, and makes me go into Season 4 pretty ho hum. I’ll tune in but only because there’s nothing else I watch at 8 p.m. on Wednesdays, and I’ll enjoy the lead up to SPN. Hoping the writers get their heads back on straight and make S4 much, much better.
Looking forward to the lowlights, but I wonder how you’ll keep the number so low…
Thanks elle2! I don’t know, Arrow season three wasn’t all that bad. But the wheels really did fall off the wagon in the second half of the season for sure. I’ll be attending the Arrow press room at Comic Con again this year so I’m very curious to see what plans they have for season four. I hope they see the error of their ways in season three.
