Mortal Lock and other Thoughts

Image result for Images Oliver and Felicity    This end of season 2 Olicity image parallels this season's Olicity.  They both cared deeply for one another, but each one fearing to say  anything.  This season goes back to the first two seasons and I think one reason for that is so we can clearly see Oliver's growth.  He is not the same person. He learns to be Oliver Queen and the Green Arrow.  They meld into one person.

Oliver said to Felicity, "I'll always care about you;  it's a mortal lock."  Some were upset that he said that, but I am not. Oliver learned to fight. He learned to wrestle, and that is a wrestling term that has come to mean a certainty; a cinch; a sure thing.  He wants to be so much more, but Felicity has a lot of baggage, and she's comparing Oliver to her father. Her father never told the truth, and I am wondering that she hasn't heard from her mother, that Lance lied to Donna about his drinking.  It was the lie more than the drinking that drove Donna from Lance?  Just a thought, but Felicity wants to trust Oliver, and I think in time she will. Remember they were apart until the end of season 3.  I do hope that when they bring them together, they keep them together.  Just my thoughts on this Saturday afternoon.

    It's true, they're back in the game I will not admit that I still love him / love her but the truth is that I'm jealous of her / him :).

    Have you read the blog something to live for, the post about the injury in Malone's arm? I liked the theory, I started to fall in love with season 5 :).

      Yes, I read Something to Live For. That's one reason I hesitated to make this blog. Haha. I think that theory about the arm might be correct. I had thought it might be Malcolm and that Malone was working for him.

      It could be the Human Target. He may be a good guy in the comics but if they don't follow comic book canon then he could be Prometheus. I see two certainties: Billy Malone is not someone Felicity can trust, and Oliver will be the one to help her.

Arrow 5.17 Kapiushon: Breaking Point

Image
  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.

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

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?
