You Don't have to be Superman

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.

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...

Oliver and Felicity at Odds

Image
   The next episode of Arrow is the penultimate episode that marks the rush towards the end of the season.  These are often the most exciting episodes of the season, and this one looks no different.  Oliver and Felicity have kept a cordial coolness towards each other.  We have seen glimmers of  hope between them: a look here, a touch there, but there is an edge to their relationship.   Felicity is clearly upset over what Chase has done to Oliver, and she is determined to bring Chase down by any means she can using Helix.  Helix willingly  let her, but now will ask something very illegal and dangerous of her.  Oliver asks her not to do this, and Felicity challenges him by saying, "You'll have to stop me." I am pretty sure that Oliver will stop her, and that at the end of the episode we will find them ready  to face the demons they  both  have held inside. It's an interesting dynamic to have these two face off like ...
