Best episode this season (in my opinion) even thought there is not much action I loved the episode and loved the return of -----, I thought team arrow did very well and all worked together for once instead of allways fighting each other

Probably best episode of season--Docket No. 11-19-41-73 delivers!

This episode had a winning formula! This season was supposed to have a focus on family and family like theme. Well, this was the first episode that almost seemed true. This episode was filled with so many fun surprises and guest stars. And, this is the first episode this season that this fan might actually binge watch over and over.
The trial had a neat way of discussing Oliver's past publicly without being a series of flashback sequences, by bringing up Roy Harper, Lian Yu/Russia/Hong Kong, and how the Hood/Arrow/Green Arrow is all one person.
Lots of positive things in this episode-- Hoping that the stupid internal Team Arrow fights that have consumed and destroyed this season are finally over. Team Arrow actually outsmarted Diaz on many fronts. First, "win" in a while. Does this mean Oliver cannot be re-tried as the Green Arrow? (double jeopardy?) Something tells me his secret will still come out this season.???

I guess you can't please everyone! But personally I thought this was a good episode, maybe I'm easily pleased!? The court scenes were very good.
Laurel finally made the correct decision, but at what cost? Was also good to see Chance back as well aiding Oliver in a bit of deception.
9/10 from this easily pleased viewer!

Arrow goes to court
highmarksreviews4 May 2018
While the idea of Arrow, a show that primarily focuses on action and not heavy-drama, a courtroom chapter seemed outlandish to say the least. Happy to report that the writers, once again, really put themselves out there and briskly made this episode a winner. The weighty lines and strong performances all around just elevated it even further, with Stephen Amell and Catherine Dent standing out amongst the already stellar cast appearances. Thankfully, the return of familiar faces also added twists to an already novel story. Katie Cassidy is also a worthy mention as her swaying loyalty was finally determined tonight as well as Diaz's (Kirk Acevedo) next move to break Oliver. "Docket No. 11-19-41-73 marks another hight-point for season six and moves the series into a challenging end-game.
10!

Best episode this season!
Tommy / Colin is amazing!
There is not as much action as we are used to in Arrow, but it works great. This episode is entertaining, suprising and fun, just what a great episode should be.
The trial was filmed, and followed closely by the media. EVERYONE saw Tommy as the Green Arrow! The people of Star City does not know about Human Target, and now believe Tommy is alive? How will they address this in future episodes/ seasons?

Finally a great episode after two episodes 'without the hero' of the show. Not much action but the drama and great performances from the main actors turned this episode great. Stephen was amazing and that come back... Great entrance by the way!
OMG!

This is Arrow at its best. If you watch Arrow constantlylike me, you know that one episode every season is way better than most in terms of writing, acting, and direction. This episode got season just happens to be "Docket No. 11-19-41-73".
The reveal that Tommy wasn't actually Tommy but instead was Chance was very clever and did not see coming. Also the way that Oliver got out of going to prison and the way the writers set up the next episode was perfect. The writers stepped up those game with this one.
If the rest of the episodes of this season were was good it would be better than Season 2. This is the best episode of the season by far. Sadly Arrow will never be as good as Season 5. This episode is a without a doubt 10/10

Finally a good episode from this season. Is astonishing that it managed to be good without the Green Arrow being present/action.
I like the parallel with Trial of the Flash this season, but also felt like writers are a bit out of ideas.
Curious to see what's next at least.
What Has Happened To This Show.
ThomasDrufke4 May 2018
As Arrow draws to a close in a few weeks, I can't help but find myself waiting for it to be over. Watching this show crumble week to week is difficult, especially considering where we left things off in Season 5. "Docket No. 11-19-41-73" proved to be about as bad of an episode as this season has provided. And it's mostly due to the fact that it is brutally hypocritical to all major story points set up this year.
Remember how last week Rene was giving us his best Dirty Harry impression sending Ollie all these bad thoughts and ignorance towards the bad things that we're happening? Well, that was completely thrown away this week as he's had an epiphany that he needed to help Ollie? Wait, what? There's no set-up to his turn of heart whatsoever, and it was laughable that the writers just glossed over a conflict that was driving the season for over 4 months of this show! Granted, Rick Gonzalez' performance when he sees Diaz in the courtroom is some of the best no-dialogue acting he's had on this show, but that character is at its absolute worst right now.
Speaking of great performances, Oliver's little monologue about his hope that his mission to save the city would have been over and he would have been able to live his life at this point, was a pivotal moment for him. And it certainly adds some weight to the pending court decision. That is, until Oliver gets let off and is exonerated of all charges with help from the Human Target. Yes, that's right, the show decided to crap on any emotional build up this season has had from the "identity crisis" by pulling an out of nowhere twist from a throwaway character that doesn't fit on the show at all. I cannot believe that this is the route the show decided to go in. Human Target has no place on this show and never has. But even if it wasn't him, it sure seems like the writers don't have the guts to give Ollie his "I am Iron Man" after all. And at this point, is it even worth it? Why go through the identity reveal not once, not twice, but 3 times if you're not going to have a worthy pay off. I was hoping the season would end with Oliver pulling off the hood in public but it seems like that's not the route they are going to take.
Oh and just as another awful story side note: Diaz has now decided to kill Oliver and everyone he cares about. Great, so it looks like he's going to fall further down the hole of generic villain not even good enough to be a villain of the week. Also, Oliver's line in the trailer "As the Green Arrow, I've gone up against some terrible people, but this guys got an army" makes it seem like Diaz is his toughest threat? Wait, are we forgetting about Slade's mirakuru army, Ras Al Ghul's Leauge of Assasins, Damien Darhk's street-full of thugs, and Adrian's island full of Oliver's foes? Are we joking?
3.3/10

Ok so I think the writter forgot what "Hero" means.
Lets review what a hero is, a hero is someone who takes others needs above themselves at great lengths and to the brink of death even, they fights for others, not for themselves, thats the general idea.
Now first Rene gets a threat for "Possibly getting vigilante identity revealed and going to jail" and decides "hey i have a child, lets sell out my partner (assuming he is not friends with Oliver)". And he decided to do this even though he knew Oliver has a kid and a family too.
Or in other words someone threats a hero of going to jail and they decides they should be allowed to spend time with their family so lets sell out their partner, I don't recall that being the ideal of a hero, EVER.
That's just the tip of the iceberg, then this Rene character tries to take the moral high ground under the defense of "If worst comes, Oliver probably wouldn't take my place in jail so I decided to sell him out" .... that's the most ridiculous thing ever, you're a team, you should always try to ask for help and even if we ignore team, what kind of hero sells out others for personal gain? and just for some jail time selling out partners? A Hero? That is no Hero. As this character named Rene then takes the moral high ground, rest of the team follows with other lame ass excuses, I could explain all of those too, but I'm not gonna bother. But I have to add, none of the arrow teams members noticed this fact, I mean they did to some extent, not to the point as it should be, hell I mean this is a show about Vigilante Heroes and every team member suddenly forgets what "A Hero" is? and they guy selling out team members for personal gain gets sympathy and treated like they are doing the right thing.
And I have to mention, another fun fact, no one the whole start city noticed that the hooded stranger called arrow was a white guy suddenly turned black and then white. Ya sure if we can have characters like Rene on the supposed righteous side, this is nothing.
And also the whole Diaz the strategist villain story line and setups are flawed way too much really, to name a few ... Laurel/Black Canary who happens to be someone with supernatural poer and someone who's from another dimension where she used to play for the bad guys and also murdered, hurt numerous people in in world is suddenly scared of Big Bad Wolf Diaz ... really?
Finally Rene grows some ballz, not gonna say conscience as they didn't really get down from their proverbial high horse but they decided to try and help Oliver and this time under duress (as they had to cause they needed a happy ending) the case suddenly falls apart and arrow team is all together and happy again, lets sing Kumbaya.
I get it you gotta drag the story but comeon, is it too much to write a better story line or at the very least something not this bad. This whole season sucks.

Ridicilous

This show is getting more and more ridicilous, from episode to episode. And don't get why these episodes gets so high stars. Just watch the show.
At start this show was good and enjoying. Now there is coming seventh season with this crab. Just end it, please. Yeah, I could end watching, but start was good and I want to know how everything ends. But I'm getting more and more convinced that it will be waste of time.

Seriously?! This is how these terrible writers get Ollie out of the hot seat, *again*?! Another stand-in making a fake confession? Lame! We all knew this would happen again as soon as he was arrested, because this show's writers are talentless and pathetic. Just lazy repetitiveness by writers with an empty imagination bank.
Judging by the other reviews, some fans have very low expectations from Arrow, and might even be happy watching Ollie twirling an arrow for an hour.
Now comes the group hug, and now with Ollie getting magical powers will finally beat Diaz...lol! Lame!
Ollie's kid is also lame, can't act, is a distraction for any hope of a better future for the show, and we all know it won't be long before we hear him say, "Dad, I want a costume so I can save Star City, too!" ...and will get it. (I'm sure his ninja skills will be awesome lol)
After this, the worst episode of the season with such a sellout, idiotic save for Ollie, I'm rooting for Diaz!

The best part of comic book shows is that they make you believe in the impossible not the implausible. This would never happen in any town. Lawlessness and a weird Hispanic man stroking a little girls shoulders?!? Lol no thanks. I'm done
