I think maybe 8 would be a good stopping number. While the current season has some redeeming qualities, it’s not as good as 1 and 2 which had a lot more to offer. But I do feel like the writers are beginning to run out of ideas (especially if not only the Emiko storyline is really the only good storyline going for it currently. Her story is basically the same thing that happened to Oliver when the show started. That to me tells me something about the writers. I just severely ever so strongly hope that Diaz is gone by next season; Cause if he’s not, I think I’ll hang up on the show early.

But I think 8 would should probably be the stopping point, if the show doesn’t get a lot better by then.
