YMMV / Arrow S 5 E 2 The Recruits

• Informed Wrongness: While Curtis was totally right to call out Oliver on his behavior, he did make one mistake: he held him responsible for Diggle and Thea's departures. Those two left due to their various identity crises at the end of last season, which had very little to do with Oliver, if at all.
  • Though, this could be a case of Fridge Brilliance: Curtis wasn't there when Diggle and Thea stated their reasons for leaving the team. Nor was he there when most of the traumatic events of the previous season happened. All he really knows is that Diggle and Thea left for some reason. Add to that Oliver's recent behavior being similar to how he first treated Curtis when he discovered Oliver's secret, and it makes sense that he would come to that conclusion.
  • Another possibility is that the Flashpoint storyline on TheFlash changed more things when everyone thought, and those really are the reasons for Diggle and Thea's departure.
  • Oliver's training. The Recruits asked for training, knowing that they are going to be fighting hardened killers and psychotics, and then they complain about it being too hard. What did they expect to happen?
    • To be trained, not get the living shit beaten out of them repeatedly and told that they're not doing well enough against someone who's had nearly a decade of training and practice.
• WTH, Costuming Department?: "Ragman" and Prometheus' costumes are way too similar, that it's easy to think that they might be the same character.
