Why I Believe the Flash-Forwards are a huge Misdirect

   Image result for brothers and sisters images from Arrow 714  I'm stepping out on a limb here, my friends, to say that I believe the flash-forwards are a huge misdirect.  Beth has said the future is fixed.  There will be no Legends coming to take people back in time to fix all that has gone wrong in Star City.  Season 7 has been the darkest of all the seasons so far.  As I will be stating in my review, Arrow by its very nature is dark, so when Oliver knocked on the door this IT girl, and with her quirky behavior, she made him smile a genuine smile, it added light that the show needed.  The flash-forwards are very dark.  They almost seem hopeless.  The Vigilantes that Oliver started are blamed for the mess in Star City; Felicity is dead; Oliver is not mentioned at all, or when he is, it's always in the past tense. This leads the viewer to believe Oliver is dead. He and Felicity didn't raise their children together, there seems to be no team at all, so what's the point?  If all is that dark in the future, why watch the show?  People need hope and without hope, they give up.  That's why I think the future is not as hopeless as we are lead to believe.  

The Mark of Four plays a significant role.  When Roy saw it, he knew he had to get to Star City.  I think he and Dinah may know more than they are saying.  My guess is that Felicity is alive and once we finally see her, we will learn more that will shed light some significant unknowns and give us hope.  We are already seeing things that give us reason to hope in the future.  Mia knew about the rubix cube and she found a cassette tape.  It looks that kind in answering machines.  Maybe William will see that his parents tried to make contact, but the grandparents kept them apart.  Who directs this?  It has to be Felicity.  Have hope my friends, all is not as dark as we are lead to believe.

Working on review, will try and have it up sometime tomorrow, Friday at the latest.

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?
