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,...
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...
Many blogs posts state that Tommy Merlyn is Prometheus. They have some plausible reasons for the suggestion. In summary: Tommy Merlyn was a huge part of season 1, and the showrunners say this season goes back to season 1, and if I remember correctly would be an original character from season 1. Malcolm could easily have put Tommy in the Lazarus pit. He could have seen the terrible results of doing so, because those who go in come out completely different. He was adamant about not wanting Thea put in the pit. Was it because of what it did to Tommy? Malcolm could easily have satisfied Tommy's blood lust, as he tried to do for Thea. Tommy would have a reason to come back to Starling City, when he found out that Laurel had been killed, and he believes Oliver killed Laurel, hence he wants revenge. Tommy knew about the book of names Robert gave Oliver and Felicity and Diggle being an important part of Oliver's life. ...
