Stray Thoughts on Arrow 504 and Flashpoint

Image result for Olicity season 5  I've been thinking about Flashpoint's effects on Arrow. Why is only Diggle affected?  Will it be explained?  Those are questions have run through my  mind.  At first I thought, no, it didn't affect Felicity or Oliver, because at the end of 501 Oliver is Skyping John, and John asks him about himself and Felicity.  If they had no relationship, then why ask, right?

However, the writers are pretty good at their job, so they  lead us to think  one way and it ends up another.  I remember season 3 thinking Felicity would be the one Oliver married, but nope it was Nyssa. Are the writers giving us the slip?  Will Oliver and Felicity have to find each other all over again?  Hum, that might be fun.  Or, do are we playing into the writers' capable hands and we  shall be laughing over our speculations?  Either way, it's fun.

There is a spark there. Oliver shows concern when Havenrock is mentioned.  He also made it clear that he didn't lie to her, so that leads me to believe Flashpoint didn't affect them.  I guess we wait and see, but either way they  promised us that we would know where Olicity was headed in episode 5.  Will Flashpoint  come into play then?  I, for one, can't wait.

Arrow 5.17 Kapiushon: Breaking Point

  Prometheus and Talia want to push Oliver to his breaking point. They want him to believe that he is nothing but evil and cruel.  They use physiological techniques to try and break him.  I think Susan Williams will also be used to break him.  In an interview with the CW, Stephen Amell says that Oliver doesn't believe that Susan is out to get him. He even told Thea that Susan would never out him as the Green Arrow.  What will Oliver think if she does?  What is Susan's secret.

Could Oliver Contemplate Retirement?

Image
       According to Wolf Hall, season six will explore Oliver Queen's life and new role as father.  He will face many challenges as William may have some resentment  towards Oliver and his  role in the death  of his mother.  William doesn't really know Oliver, and his role as Green Arrow.  Wolf Hall hints that it is possible Oliver will think of retirement as the Green Arrow to focus on  being Mayor and father.  This also can be heard in the recent trailer when Slade  Wilson discusses with Oliver how difficult it is to walk in two  worlds. Wolf Hall also hints that it is possible that William is kidnapped, and Oliver will be forced out of retirement to be the Green Arrow to find his son. What do  you think of this scenario?  Does it seem plausible to you?

As Promised My Complaints with Arrow

Well, things have slowed down her for a bit, so here as promised are the few things I don't like about Arrow.           Keep in mind, that I know nothing about comic books.  I didn't even know there was a Green Arrow comic book.  I came to Arrow because of the Flash.  When  some of my older children were young, they watched the Flash, so when a new Flash came out, I watched it and during a commercial break, they advertised Arrow.  We decided to to tune in the next day to see what it was like.  We stayed because  of the Olicity story line; we had to know if Oliver and Felicity  would get together. We got caught up on Netflix with the previous seasons and we were hooked. I don't know if you will  will agree with me or not, and that's okay, you don't have to. The Big Bad . Having a big bad as main focus for the whole season is almost too long.  In season one, we knew Malcom Merlin was the "Big Bad", but there were also others that Oliver/Arrow were fi
