‘Arrow’ delivers a boring trial in ‘Docket No.
Unfortunately,Arrows latest attempt at becoming a courtroom drama in tonights Docket No.
Thank you,Arrow, for giving us more proof that Diaz is a monster.

Later on, Felicity takes the stand and defends her man, too.
Eventually, Oliver takes the stand to testify, which seems like a stupid move.
I put the Green Arrow in quotes because its not the real one.
While Tommys return wasnt that surprising, it was nice to have Donnell back.
Spartan and Wild Dog dont disappoint!
Laurel tells Quentin about Diazs plan, who in turn tells Oliver.
Worried about his fate, Oliver asks Felicity to go into ARGUS protective custody if hes found guilty.
What made the very self-interested Black Siren cross Diaz?
After all of that excitement, its now up to the jury to deliberate.
Because this is TV and one of the fastest trials in history, the jury finds Oliver guilty.
However, in the next scene we find out what happened: it was Chance!
During deliberation, Diggle and Rene knocked out the real judge, and Chance took his place.
Meanwhile, Diaz kills the real judge for failing even though it wasnt his fault.
Laurel shows up and attacks Diaz intent on killing him.
However, Diaz isnt an idiot and was ready with a unit that negates her powers.
In other words: Diaz is transitioning into every past Big Bad this show has had.
I found this episode frustrating for two specific reasons.
First,Arrownever works when it goes to the courtroom.
Executive producer Marc Guggenheim admitted as much when Laurel was killed off in season 4.
It has nothing to do with the directors, the actors or anything.
If you know this doesnt work for the show, then why do it?
