And Baby Makes 4?

Image
     As we wait two more days for the return of Arrow, we have the TV Guide had an article posing the question, Is Arrow ready for a Baby?  That's an interesting question.  Most Olicity fans have been ready for a baby since the second season!  The question is an interesting one.  I am a follower of Olicity-Arrow on Facebook, and the TV Guide article was posted there, and the response from Olicity fans was mixed, and in some respects that surprised me.  They all want Oliver and Felicity to have a baby, because they know that they make good parents, but he question they posed was is now the time? On the negative side, if Felicity finds out she's having a baby and then ends up going to prison, how would that be?  I still feel that someone will use her fingerprints on the bomb, even though it was defused, to be a link to get Oliver.  Should they give William more time to adjust to his life with his dad and step-mom?  If they would make William a teenager, which would seem more

Arrow 615 Doppelganger

Image
           We know Roy Harper returns in 615 for a  short arc.  According to the synopsis, Oliver and Thea are shocked  to hear that Roy Harper is back in Star City. So, apparently he doesn't let them know.  The synopsis said that Roy is in trouble and Thea and Oliver jump in to save him.  Also in this episode Black Siren will make a shocking decision.  Hmm. two shocks in one episode.         We know someone leaves the cast, and most agreed that it will be Willa Holland who plays Thea.  So, will she go off with Roy after they save him?  Will she  die?  It's all a  mystery, isn't it.       As for BS, what could her shocking decision be?  Would it shock us that she help the team?  Or would it be shocking that she turn her back on the team that tried so hard  to redeem her? 

The Redemption of Black Siren

               Katie  Cassidy posted an  image of herself with a plaster cast  on her head.  People now speculate that his will be for her new mask for the  Redeemed Black Canary. We also know that the next episode of Arrow will be a battle between OTA and NTA.  Dinah and Oliver will have a huge disagreement that will lead to a  battle.  Dinah and the others on her team want to see BS punished for her role in Vincent's death.Oliver and his team believe that everyone, including BS deserves a second chance.  That fits with who these three are as people.  Oliver had a second chance to prove that he could be better.  Diggle had a second chance after he killed his brother.  Felicity knows the value of a second chance that she had with not only Oliver but her own father.  They are family, and you don't give up on family.      Family is the theme this year on Arrow. Lance wanting to see his daughter in this doppelganger can be understandable from the viewpoint of family, no psych

Arrow 614 Collision Course

Image
The synopsis is out for the March First episode of Arrow. Yikes 3 more weeks to wait!  The synopsis for Collision  Course says, that "OTA  and NTA disagree on how to handle Black Siren.  The two teams face  off and  a fight ensues."  Of course this plays right into the  hands of Diaz.  As long as OTA  and NTA  are battling each other then Oliver and  his  team lose focus on  the real  enemy. From the photos that were released, my guess is that OTA try to find  where  Lance has taken Black Siren.  In the fight, I  wonder if  Dig's  arm gets hurt.  If you  will look, you'll see him holding  it.  He won't be able to fight if the implant quits working.Oliver seems to be holding Felicity back as well. In one promo, you can see her  calling  for John.  Thea is also  going along, because I think she  cares  so much for Lance, and maybe she can reach him. Do you  think John Diggle can reach Dinah?  My guess is  NTA is willing to go after Black Siren  for Dinah's

Arrow 613 The Devil's Greatest Trick Review

      Well, what can I say?  This thirteenth episode didn't shine for me.   It ranks in my mind  with 513, when Arrow attempted to tackle gun violence, that episode didn't shine for me either. You can  go back and search my review  of that episode.  For me Arrow works best  when we  have Olicity  moments, and when the  team works  cohesively.  The moments  with Oliver and Felicity solidify the character growth  of both  people. When we have the give  and  take between them, and when we see that even  though the may  have different  ideas, they share the  same  goal.  Arrow has not only been about one  hero's personal struggle in becoming a hero, it's been  about  family.  When we have those family moments in the midst of the struggle of trying to save the city, Arrow shines. Olicity:   Well there wasn't much tonight.  We did have the glances,  that for these two people,  speak volumes. We see their rings.  I  don't know about you, but I'm missing the light

Arrow 613 The Devil's Greatest Trick

Image
                 This week's Arrow has an interesting title: The Devil's Greatest Trick.  As a Christian, I believe the devil's greatest trick getting the world to believe he does not exist.  So with that in mind, what might possibly happen? I suppose there are endless possibilities.  Could it be getting Lance to believe that Laurel is changing for good, and so he puts trust in her?  Could it be someone has convinced William that things are not so bad?  In the synopsis for the show, it says that William demands more time from Oliver. It could also be that Oliver may end up going it alone with just his own team.  Could the Newbies be tempted to believe they don't need anyone either?  I know I have not given you any insight, just questions, but it's fun to question things together and see what plays out in the end, right?  The episode looks to be a great one. 

The Significance of Thanatos

Katrina Law returns in episode 16 of Arrow.  The title of the episode is The Thanatos Guild.  Reports are that, "this unforgettable episode will change Arrow forever."  I think we might be able to get insight  into this change by the very title itself.  Nyssa  will warn Oliver of  something that is about to happen that could impact everyone and  put everyone he loves  in grave danger.  We know that the titles of Arrow episodes are important and  often have a duel meaning.               It helps  to  understand Thanatos.  In Greek mythology, Thanatos was the personification of Death.  His  weapon was a sword or scythe, however, he usually brought a non-violent death. Violent death was brought by his sisters, the Keres.  Since we know that Willa Holland  will leave Arrow, speculation has come that she will die.  About this same time, we also have the appearance of Roy  Harper, adding to the idea that perhaps Thea Queen will die.  The writers  have stated in the past that th

Arrow 612 All for Nothing Review

I have mixed  feelings about this  episode.  The writers carried the story forward, and  we learn that there's an even  bigger mole within James's organization.  However,  the Newbies are becoming tiring.  I care less about Rene  and  Curtis  than I ever have.  Then there  is the building to the Black Siren redemption that the writers promised they  would explore.  Suffice it to  say this episode will not remain on my  top ten  list of best episodes.       Olicity:  I know that we cannot expect to have an Olicity centric episode each week, that would not even be realistic.  I do enjoy the moments the  writers give us of this husband and wife team.  It's the little things that sweeten  the scenes.  Oliver comes in looking worried, and Felicity says, "I love that face, but it's a worried face."  Then they hug, and sway back and forth in that hug. It's a small moment, but it reveals their love and their support.  They've had  to put their honeymoon on
