Well, that... was an episode that happened.
It became apparent fairly quickly that "Tommy" would turn out to be "The Human Target," especially since they hid his face when Diggle went to find him, but had no compunction about showing Tommy in the preview.
It kind of makes me think of a criticism I've often had for the likes of say, Days of Our Lives, where the lie or misdirection would have been better. In this case, I briefly entertained the idea that Tommy was alive this whole time; and that for some undisclosed reason Diggle of all people knew and had kept the secret. There's all kinds of directions that story might go, especially explaining why Diggle would do that, and what Tommy has been doing the last 6 years; as well as why he wouldn't be sticking around.
I'll admit, at the risk of being a fool, I did not immediately see Chase being the judge coming; and was initially impressed... Until I started thinking about it and wondered how plausible it would be for that to hold up, or that the real judge wouldn't be believed that he'd been replaced; especially since Diaz knew about the Human Target.
So now Oliver's been acquitted, meaning no ramifications if he does publicly admit his identity; so that's probably how the season will end, and this likely also means no Supermax story...
Yet again, I had this moment when Oliver talked about not wanting to put a target on his son or wife's back, it just seemed disonant that he was talking about Felicity. It was like Arrested Development - "Her?"
Also, hilarious how he has this concern, when every single person he's gone up against finds out who he is, or knows from the start, and he and his loved ones are targets anyway.
Also also, he talks about retiring from being the Green Arrow someday, but he's just spent the last half a dozen episodes or so saying how much being the Green Arrow completes him...
