I'm interested and somewhat excited to see how Speedy comes in and how his character starts to play out and develop. Although I still have to say I like the current team how it is now, but if he can fight even half as well as Oliver can and is at least a halfway decent person, I'll probably like him alright.
I don't really like Thea better, but I definitely think that being around Laurel is good for her. Hopefully she'll come around and be a bit more modest and less stuck-up in the future.
