Excellent question! It’s just the sort that I’ll actually answer. :)

1) The pacing was pretty good. The big problem of 4x10 for me was pacing, and I didn’t have that problem at all with 4x11. 

I struggled to answer this. But Quinn James (from one tree hill) came into mind for some weird reason. 

She’s beautiful, loyal, kind and at the same time funny and extremely silly. Because she grew up in the 80s, she would totally understand all the weird 80s references Gus and Shawn likes to throw out. And after a while she offers some obscure fact that will only make Gus like her more. She loves the random break into songs that the gang always does but she cannot hold a tune to save her life so she ends up just listening to them. She often joins them in their food hunts (although she draws the line at snow cones for breakfast) She realises early on that getting into a relationship with Gus means getting into a relationship with Shawn as well, because those two are inseparable. And she doesn’t mind. Shawn and her developed a friendship that is completely separate from Gus. Plus, she love Juliet. Juliet’s strength reminds her so much of her little sister. 

Would Shawn approve? Not in the beginning. Because he doesn’t think anyone is good enough for his best friend. And Gus has been hurt too many times. All Shawn wants for Gus is a woman who makes Gus happy and Quinn does that. It doesn’t hurt that she is not afraid to be silly. 

Why, thank you! :)

Digg is definitely fun to discuss. I think he's overlooked far too often, and I'm super excited for his role in the HIVE plot. David Ramsey deserves more to do than he's been given in the past, and I like what I've seen so far in Season 4. I haven't necessarily enjoyed it all, but I think that he's been set up for a solid arc that will certainly last longer than a Very Special Episode or two. I hope that we'll have lots more to discuss about him over the next 20 episodes.

I think it'll be clear with who is all there if this is a real funeral scene. Whoever isn't there filming is obviously the one toast

As far as I’m concerned, Arrow is Oliver’s show, and all of the other characters are supporting. That said, there’s supporting a la John Diggle and Felicity Smoak and Laurel Lance, and then there’s supporting a la Walter Steele and Ted Grant and Quentin Lance. I don’t think that Quentin has ever even approached being a main character enough for story development to actually be about him. He’s a character that serves at the writers’ leisure rather than one with a charted evolution (or devolution). He’s plot first, personality second.

I can definitely sympathize about disliking when characters are written to be unrecognizable in service of a plot and/or character. It drives me crazy. I’ve drifted away from creative writing in recent years, but I can’t imagine doing that to my characters. I don’t want anybody written to prop anybody; it’s just bad writing, and I think that we all deserve a more carefully crafted product.

Hmmm, then I'm lost lol. Has Caity been on the Arrow set since 4x05?
