The Heart of Arrow

I have no idea if this is going to be a scene from Season 6 episode one, but it seems plausible that it could be.  Could Felicity have made it to the plane across the island?  It seems doubtful.  We know that in all likelihood there will be people who die.  So for Felicity to be injured or  unconscious is not far from the  realm of possibilities.
Oliver will have so much to deal with, but season five set the groundwork for his ability to handle what  has happened.  He won't blame himself this time.  Now he will be strength  for Felicity, Diggle, and  the others to handle what has happened to them.

I don't  know about you, but I don't watch Arrow because of the comics, I  know zero about the storylines from the comics.  I watch Arrow because of the story it tells. The writers weave characters we care about.  They write so that the viewer can identify with story  and the people.  One the viewer can relate  to a character, then the story comes to life.   It's the story of overcoming adversity and finding the courage within to be a hero.  It's acting that pulls it off and makes us care about the people.  Stephen Amell, Emily Bett Rickards, and David Ramsey as the original team Arrow make us believe and care.  They are at the heart of Arrow.

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.

Arrow 514 The Sin Eater Review

Image
  The Sin Eater brings back three formidable female foes: China White, Carrie Cutter, and Liza Warner.  All three of these foes appeared in seasons one and two of Arrow. This whole season has referred back to the first two seasons.  I had forgotten about Liza Warner, until the brief flashback reminded me of who she was. The theme for last night's episode addresed the question,  Can you take on the responsibility of someone else's sins? Antaoly ,  in the Russia flashback, tells Oliver that he is a sin eater by wanting to take on other's sin. This is something Oliver has done for all 5 episodes, isn't it?  Wasn't he trying to make up for his father's sins by crossing off names on a list?  Oliver helped Anatoly in the hospital.  I am guessing that in the next episode we shall find that Oliver killed Gregor before Gregor could kill Anatoly. Quintin Lance feels guilt over Liza Warner, because Liza heard in prison that Lance worked with Damien Dahrk.  He was tak

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
