CW's 'Arrow' Might Be In Trouble With These New Characters

I just have to let the arrow fly and tell the truth, these characters might mean the end.

CW's 'Arrow' Might Be In Trouble With These New Characters
The CW

When it first started out, Arrow was awesome! Oliver was the Green Arrow, taking out the bad guys, cleaning up his city, it was just all around epicness.

Oh how far it has fallen.

So, Oliver started gathering a team...which was fine, they weren't too bad, plus he needed some supporting characters.

I liked Diggle, I loved Felicity (#Olicity all the way!), Roy was super cool (and easy on the eyes), then Thea and Laurel joined the team. These guys were great! ...Well, Laurel was iffy...but you got used to her.

Then we move out of season three and into season four. New characters are introduced, new villains, and new trials. The storyline of seasons 4 through 6 isn't bad, it's just the characters that have really killed me...along with some other issues, but that's a whole other article...

The supporting characters just get worse and worse.

The possible exception being the new D.A. turned villain. He was awesome. He had his head screwed on right when it came to what needed to be done. But then we found out that he was crazy/evil/and out to destroy Oliver... Ugh! We were so close!

The other characters- Curtis, Dinah, Rene, are the worst.

They can't fight. At most, not very well. They are terrible at being a part of a team and following Oliver's lead. They also don't trust him and they aren't trustworthy. It kills me how worthless these characters have turned out to be. I understand that there has to be drama, but OH. MY. GOODNESS.

They get mad at Oliver for surveilling them and keeping a "secret" and then they, in turn, are keeping much more dangerous secrets from him and each other! There is absolutely no understanding on their part.

I mean, Oliver was betrayed because he trusted his team completely! After that, the trust had to be earned. I totally understand why he was hesitant with his trust.

I would make the same decisions he did in order to ensure that no one else I loved got hurt. I wouldn't want the surveillance to be a long-lasting thing, but I'd definitely do it until the mole was found and the threat eliminated.

Curtis, Dinah, and Rene just got mad at him and quit the team. At first, I was ticked, and then I was like, "Good riddance." Plus! Rene was the traitor and Dinah was lying... I mean really...

A 'New Team Arrow' (a.k.a The Outsiders) was born. Suffice it to say, the new team isn't great. I much prefer the original Team Arrow.

Now Diggle is leaving and Oliver is basically starting over again. But, boy, I can't tell you how happy I was that Oliver stood his ground and didn't go begging the team to come back. I would have completely quit the show had that happened.

I also hated how Diggle and the rest of the team wanted him to become a better man and then decided to ditch him once he was because, even though he was a better man, he became a "worse leader." Like really! *Uuugggghhhh*

On a personal note, I thought Oliver was doing great.

Overall, I still watch the show, not as much, but still some. I hope that it will get better and all of this stuff gets worked out. But I just can't stand the low quality of the supporting characters.

The characters really do make or break the show. And right now, the only characters I watch it for are Oliver, Felicity, and ... um... well, Oliver and Felicity!

If something isn't done to make the characters better, or new and better characters get introduced, this show might not last much longer.

I'd love to hear how you feel about the characters in this show. You are entitled to your opinion, so feel free to comment!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
