Team GATV Midseason Roundtable: Arrow Season 5 So Far
Opinion January 24, 2017 Craig Byrne
Which episode have you liked the least?
STEPHANIE: “Legacy.” Everyone had gone their separate ways and it didn’t feel like Arrow anymore.
MATT: Hmm, it’s possible “Human Target” or “Vigilante” might be my least faves so far. It’s just that they were a bit ho-hum. I wish more would’ve been done with Christopher Chance. He felt like an after-thought in the episode. I also haven’t bought too much into Adrian Chase yet, and the Vigilante character. He feels a bit of a distraction from the story proper.
MELISSA: 5×05 “Human Target.” Tobias Church’s character was needlessly squandered after starting the season with so much potential, Human Target was disappointing both as an episode conceit and in playing matchmaker for Oliver, there was too much Detective Billy Malone, WAY too much Wild Dog, and it’s all topped off with some awkward and confusing Olicity conversations that I keep going back and forth on loving and hating. Yep, not a fan.
CRAIG: My least favorite episode would probably be “Penance” and I can’t even completely say why. I guess it’s just the others stood out so much more. I enjoyed “Human Target” but I, too, wish we had more Christopher Chance in it.
