Honestly, shame on Sara. What kind of a mother doesn't instantly transform into John Wick the second a global conspiracy threatens her toddler? The fact that she didn't hit a 360-no-scope on a top-tier black-ops agent using a rusty revolver is proof she’s just a terrible person. How dare she have a human panic response instead of executing a flawless tactical counter-offensive.

Michael and Lincoln can crash cars, accidentally blow up buildings, get caught by the police every three episodes, and trust literal serial killers like T-Bag, but Sara points a gun at a bad guy to protect her kid and she’s 'pathetic.' Clearly, the boys are tactical geniuses and she just lacks common sense.

My bad, I forgot she was supposed to check the 'How to Defeat an Omnipotent Deep-State Operative' textbook before reacting. Why didn't she just consult the 500-page manual Michael tattooed on his torso before making a move? Totally irresponsible of her not to have a Special Forces tactical degree.

Ah yes, let's unpack the absolute failure of Sara Tancredi’s life:

  • Bad Daughter: Truly atrocious. How dare she be upset when her father, who treated her like an afterthought and barely cared she existed was murdered and staged in a fake suicide by a shadow government? She should have just smiled for his political campaign and ignored the massive conspiracy.
  • Bad Partner: Shocking behavior. She didn't flawlessly coordinate a 10/10 domestic household while her partner was busy faking his death, escaping foreign prisons, and getting hunted by international assassins. Relationships take compromise, Sara!
  • Bad Mother: The absolute worst. She only spent seven years raising Mike as a grieving widow after Michael 'died.' and provided him with the best life he could have making sure he didn't miss anything. But because she didn't automatically unlock black-ops tactical training to instantly neutralize a villain with a revolver, she's terrible. A real mother would have checked the 'Deep-State Defense' section of her textbooks during a normal human panic response.

Do you think Michael would have still manipulated Sara if he knew she was an addict prior ?

Some people would argue he wouldn't or some people would argue he could have manipulated her way easier

Are you guys mad at Sara that she remarried ?

Some people would argue that she should have never have gotten back with someone else because it would feel like she betrays Michael

What do you think

Why did Michael react so offensively when Sara confronted him about lying to her regarding the pretending PI assignment during the riot ?

She told him she wanted some answers as he clearly lied to her about it and he became quite aggressive but why ?

Sara getting her medical license back

This has never been explained on the show but as Sara clearly lives a normal life during s5 and is a doctor again it's clear that she got her medical license back in the process.

It has never been talked about a lot but my guess is that Jacob pulled all the strings to make her record clear and manipulated her that way by giving her a clean slate. All she's got was because of him technically then in both ways lol

Michael knowing about Sara's addiction

A lot of people wondered whether he knew about Sara being in recovery and her being an addict and I feel like there is something that not a lot of people mentioned. In episode 2x15 when he video taped the message addressing her using code from Alcoholic Anonymous Book.

Well that means that he knew that she was an addict in recovery (as he also knew she had an OD because Bellick told him) otherwise he would never have thought about that move. Knowing the Alcoholic Anonymous Book means you have quite a history with drugs and alcohols so it means he knew (I think).

Bellick's reaction to Sara's death during s3 was genuinely sweet.

I mean they had been working together a while at Fox River etc but ofc Bellick who had barely shown any type of sentiments toward anyone related to the brothers was really sweet. It also tells how much Sara was appreciated by him.

They had a great history as they met at AA meetings where Bellick proposed to her the job of doctor at Fox RIver.

Is Sara extremely naive ?

Got manipulated by Michael for months as she was just part of his plan to escape.

Went through the experience of being sequestered by Gretchen and had made everyone believe that she died. (not her decision but she survived hell and made it through)

Dealt for months with The Company so that means manipulation, lies, constant danger, loss of people, levering people, basically being a fugitive for months.

And then after all of that got manipulated again by Jacob ? Wtf

Diggle wanting to abandon Roy 3x06

I get where his reflection stems from but I was still so mad at John for wanting to abandon Roy like that. I'm so glad Oliver didn't follow him and stood up for Roy.

Diggle always had those annoying things sometimes (s6 is the blatant example).

No character is perfect coz they aren't meant to be perfect

Do you guys understand William's anger toward his dad during season 7 ?

Yes it must have been awful for him to be torn apart from the only parent he had left especially that it was so sudden for him to learn that his dad was going to spend at least the following years in jail (don't forget that Oliver signed up for a life sentence). He is just a teenager and since his mother died, he dreamt of nothing but a normal life that his father unfortunately was unable to provide. He had already been through a lot.

And on the other hand, he also did that to protect him in a way as if Oliver hadn't outed himself as the GA, not only he would have been arrested but also Felicity and then William would have been left alone with no parents. That's what he told Felicity during their last scene together in the precinct room. He sacrificed himself for the team etc. However, from a kid perspective it's complicated to understand. I'm asking that because plenty of people thought William was annoying during s7 and got better during s8.

Why was Ricardo Diaz such a poor villain ?

I don't know all the reasons but one of them I'd say is the introduction of his backstory in literally the 19th episode of the season was a bad idea.

So did Oliver watch his own funeral lmao ?

So technically as Oliver can see everything as he told John when he returned in Flash 9x09, he technically could have witnessed his own funeral when you think about it lol

He must have been proud of the legacy he left in people's mind. It's insane when you think about it but it's beautiful too
