Mortal Lock and other Thoughts

Image result for Images Oliver and Felicity    This end of season 2 Olicity image parallels this season's Olicity.  They both cared deeply for one another, but each one fearing to say  anything.  This season goes back to the first two seasons and I think one reason for that is so we can clearly see Oliver's growth.  He is not the same person. He learns to be Oliver Queen and the Green Arrow.  They meld into one person.

Oliver said to Felicity, "I'll always care about you;  it's a mortal lock."  Some were upset that he said that, but I am not. Oliver learned to fight. He learned to wrestle, and that is a wrestling term that has come to mean a certainty; a cinch; a sure thing.  He wants to be so much more, but Felicity has a lot of baggage, and she's comparing Oliver to her father. Her father never told the truth, and I am wondering that she hasn't heard from her mother, that Lance lied to Donna about his drinking.  It was the lie more than the drinking that drove Donna from Lance?  Just a thought, but Felicity wants to trust Oliver, and I think in time she will. Remember they were apart until the end of season 3.  I do hope that when they bring them together, they keep them together.  Just my thoughts on this Saturday afternoon.

    It's true, they're back in the game I will not admit that I still love him / love her but the truth is that I'm jealous of her / him :).

    Have you read the blog something to live for, the post about the injury in Malone's arm? I liked the theory, I started to fall in love with season 5 :).

      Yes, I read Something to Live For. That's one reason I hesitated to make this blog. Haha. I think that theory about the arm might be correct. I had thought it might be Malcolm and that Malone was working for him.

      It could be the Human Target. He may be a good guy in the comics but if they don't follow comic book canon then he could be Prometheus. I see two certainties: Billy Malone is not someone Felicity can trust, and Oliver will be the one to help her.

Arrow 512 The Bratva Review

Image
Many good, positive things happened in this episode and some not so good.  Let's begin: Diggle:  Diggle's darkness began last season when he killed his brother.  The guilt of that led Diggle to a dark place where he questions his values.  Diggle beats a man to get he information he wants a bout the nuke that Walker wants to fire.  Oliver had seen the man first, but refrained from beating him. He wanted to give the man time to think,but Diggle cannot wait.  As Diggle is doing this, Rory questions Felicity on what she has done, when Oliver comes in to talk.  Rory told Felicity that when his father had given him the rags he said to "respect and guard the power and don't abuse it, clearly he thinks Felicity is abusing the power she has with the computer.  Oliver interrupts then and Rory says,"I think she's crossed the line."  Oliver gives Felicity a look of concern but runs to Diggle because of what's happened. Diggle has beaten the informant,...

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 Dah...

Inmate #4587 Arrow Review 701

Image
      Season 7 heads the viewers  into  new, fascinating directions. . Wow! is the word that came into mind.  It has a  whole  new  feel to the show.  Let's  say, it's  not the Arrow  we used  to know.  The new showrunner has  given us a new Arrow that could not only last  another  season, but could be carried on into the future with new yet familiar characters. It did, however, leave this reviewer with  many questions. Arrow has  always begun it's new season with Oliver running through the woods, but this time we see William running  in the green hoodie, with Felicity not far behind.  We  find this to be Oliver's nightmare, as we  see  Diaz shoot Felicity.  I also think that this might be a foreshadowing  of the  part William plays  in future events.          Flash Forward:  Instead of  flashback...
