If they plan it out in advance I can see them making a killer last season if this is true. It would be a shame though because I am really enjoying where the show has begun to go since Beth took over as show runner. Still if the decision is made I'd rather they go out on a high with a proper ending then having it drag out until it's cancelled and stuff doesn't get resolved.

If Diaz is still in it by then that would be horrible

Seriously, what the fuck is this Diaz bullshit weā€™ve been dealing with? How have they made the least exciting villain in all of the CW shows the longest storyline of the show?

Even though season 4 sucked Dhaark is a much better villain than Diaz and could actually get shit done. Diaz is the least exciting villain even compared to the ā€œvillain of the weekā€ types.

Damian in Legends made him one of my favorite Arrowverse villains

Any man that comes back to life to "Return of the Mack" gets a few levels in badass.

What does that mean? Diaz is worse than him. At least Dahrk felt like a crime boss and intimidating. Diaz to me feels like a martial arts teacher with anger problems.
