The Problems with Arrow from a Viewer's Perspective

  Image result for arrow tv show images     Happy New Year to all my loyal readers.  I hope you all have a blessed New Year.  Things are quite busy here, so I haven't been able to write.

I have been thinking about Arrow and wondering how 5b will play itself out.  Have you ever wondered  what's not working well with Arrow?  I have thought about it during the hiatus.   Here are some areas were I have see where Arrow lost it's way:

  • Felicity hasn't been given a good story.
  • The OTA has been missing
  • The Felicity boyfriend thing seemed to fast for Felicity who took her time in waiting for Oliver
  • Diggle has had no story
  • Thea has lost her way
  • Oliver has lost all he gained in the first 4  seasons
I don't know how you all feel about it.  I hope 5b will find it's direction again.  I hope. I am in in for the long haul, but Arrow seems to have lost some direction.  People think it's about the loss of the Laurel, but I don't think it is.  I  guess I can't put my finger totally on it, but I hope they find the way back.  

What are you thinking?

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

Image
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
