You Don't have to be Superman

Image
I love this video, because the song fits Oliver so well.  Oliver thinks he has to take  care of everyone he loves.  If he can't protect the ones he loves, he feels like a failure.  This is how, I think, Chase was able to break him, when Waller and Ras, could not.  John Diggle helped break through to Oliver that he's not alone.  How many times have Diggle and Felicity tried to tell him, "You're not alone"?  Finally, at the end of this season, Oliver will believe it.  Felicity knows that Oliver doesn't have to be Superman.  So she's out get Prometheus, the only way she can, with her computer hacking skills, she will find the one who broke  Oliver.  Felicity can't do it alone either, and Oliver come to her aid. I see the the beginning of a whole new Green Arrow in season 6, and the beginning of a better, stronger team.

Disbanded: Arrow 518 Review

Image
                Oliver:  Chase has wounded Oliver's mind, so that he believes what he told Chase, that he is a killer at heart and loves to kill. He disbands the team, because he doesn't want the team to be hurt or killed, and he's worried that they might become like Chase himself.  Oliver's tortured soul over his friends, reveals that he is not the killer Chase wanted him to believe.  Stephen Amell did a great job of showing us how tormented he was.  His eyes spoke of pain. How could Chase in six days of torture cause Oliver to believe he is a killer?  It's because Oliver has always believed that he was.  He had never been fully convinced that he was anything different.  He always took the blame for wrongs done to him.  That's why he let Felicity walk away from him. That's why he didn't tell her the decision he made about William.  He shuts off a part of himself and won't or wouldn't let anyone fully in.  Felicity wanted to be fully in his life

Flash Review Abra Kadabra

Image
                         Barry Allen and Abra Kadabra , a villainous magician, comes to Central City from Earth 19 to steal the necessary items to use the time machine to travel to the future.  He is a creepy sort of villain.  His eyes seem at times glazed over. He doesn't like Barry Allen, and tempts Barry to letting him go.  Abra, knows who the Savitar is, and this information could save Iris.  In the end Barry decided not to let Abra go, but pleads with him for the sake of those he cared for to tell them about Savitar so they can save Iris. Abra's hatred for Barry in the future, that he takes delight in not telling them.  Then Barry comes up with an idea, he will travel to the future, learn what they know, and then they can stop Savitar.  Wait? What?  This is why the Flash is often hard to take.  Barry never learns a lesson.  How many times has he messed with time, and each time he does, he messes  up something in the universe?  I sit there and think, will this guy never lea

Will Abra Kadabra bring Julian and Caitlin Together?

Image
              On the Flash the villain Abra Kadabra tempts Barry to releasing him, and Barry's reward will be the identity of Savitar.  There will also be a conflict with Cisco and Barry.                                   I enjoy Caitlin and Julian (played so well by Tom Felton). But there has been a cool distance between Julian and  Caitlin.  He felt Caitlin only used him, but Caitlin gets injured and Julian goes to her. Looks like an episode that I will review tomorrow.

I don't watch Legends, but I hear that Felicity is to appear in an episode, So could any of you who watch  it, please post your comments.  You can post anonymously.  That's fine with me.  I would like your thoughts on how it might  play out in Arrow, or if you think it has any part of Arrow. Thanks for your help.

Continued thoughts on Arrow 517 Kapiushon

  Oliver's look of anguish when he thought Chase had done something to Felicity wrenched our hearts and we could see his pain.  I have read that some people wanted to see the same anguish on Felicity's face.  I think we did.  We saw anger and shock. Felicity couldn't look at Oliver's face, she just stared at his tortured body.  Now in the upcoming episodes  we see her fighting Chase the only way she knows how, her computer skills.  This will pull her deeper into Helix.   In Disbanded , she is going to learn something about Helix, and this might put her into conflict with herself and even with Oliver,because he is going to ask her to stop using Helix, and she will tell him why you can't do that.  She will not want Oliver to use Bratva to stop Chase, either, and he won't listen to her,  and she will have to trust him. One thing Oliver does is trust, and he trusts her. She has trouble trusting.  She holds back, but I think as she sees Oliver trusting her, this wi

Arrow 517 Kapiushon "Hood" Review

Image
 What an incredibly intense episode last night.   Both Stephen Amell and Josh Segarra should be nominated for Emmys for their acting in this episode.  Where to begin? There is so much here from the flashbacks in Russia to current time.  I hope this comes across as organized for you.         Anatoly Knyazev:  I like this character.  He's a gangster, I know, but there is much to like about him, "He's my favorite Russian."  (HaHa ) What I find interesting is that sometimes in the flashbacks he parallels Felicity Smoak.  Anatoly knows Oliver enjoys killing to much, and it bothers him.  He even tells him that he is like Slade Wilson and Ivo.  He wants Oliver to go back to America. At one point when Anatoly and Oliver are looking for the sarin gas, he tell Oliver, "See what happens when you think first..."  I found that similar to Felicity when she told Oliver he could find, "another way."  When  Felicity first went to work for Oliver and they went to

I read on a regular basis the Olicity-Arrow Facebook Page by a RiRi.  She has always been so kind to me and allowed me to post my reviews on her page.  Now she needs help for her little niece. Please read and if you can help in any way she would appreciate it.  Prayers are always an important way to help. PLEASE READ FIRST I've been wresting whether to share this on here for weeks. I've been so torn because I know this is a page for  Olicity/Arrow /Arrowverse and I didn't want to abuse my power and lose everyones respect and maybe this page. But I thought about it more and decided I couldn't live with myself if I didn't at least try. This is Adrianna Lara, she's my 2 year old niece. She was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma 4 months ago. They've done many rounds of chemotherapy and t hough her tumor has shrunk she's not out the woods. She has to do radiation therapy but because she's so young she has to have a certain kind a kind they don't offe
