Prometheus is Adrian Chase. I was surprised for I was certain that he was the Vigilante. So now we have two enemies going after Oliver each for their own purposes. I thought all along that Prometheus was the main"big bad", but now we have the Vigilante who wants Oliver for his own reasons. Does the Vigilante work for Prometheus or does the Vigilante want to be the one who kills Oliver? Prometheus doesn't seem to want to kill Oliver. He's like a cat toying with the prey. He wants to get into Oliver's head and now he has kidnapped Susan. What will this drive Oliver to do. In so may respects he is like Slade Wilson, and he has taken the one Oliver loves, just as Slade did when he took both Laurel and Felicity. So maybe Susan isn't the enemy the viewers thought or hoped she was. Prometheus as Adrian Chase even led Dinah to think that Adrian is the Vigilante, when he took that piece of the helmet. So who is the Vigilante? He su...
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...
This episode of Arrow was directed by Kristin Windell and written by Marc Guggenheim. It addressed the issue of gun control. It surprised me a little that Arrow would would pick a topic a little more politcal and related to current issues. Arrow always seemed a little "other" world to me. That being said, I thought they handled both sides well. My husband was clearly on the same side as Rene, and I thought that was fun to see. Usually he doesn't comment much when we watch, but he even thought this was a different area for Arrow. I credit Marc Guggenheim for portraying both sides fairly well. Okay, I got that out of the way, now on to the heart of the characters. Rene's origin story was moving and well handled. I have truly come to like this character. Rick Gonzalez brings heart and soul into Wild Dog. He makes us care for Rene and we feel his pain. I enjoyed this part of Arro...
It was pretty interesting. Can't wait to see it. I hope it's good.
