And Baby Makes 4?

Image result for images of oliver and felicity together     As we wait two more days for the return of Arrow, we have the TV Guide had an article posing the question, Is Arrow ready for a Baby?  That's an interesting question.  Most Olicity fans have been ready for a baby since the second season!  The question is an interesting one.  I am a follower of Olicity-Arrow on Facebook, and the TV Guide article was posted there, and the response from Olicity fans was mixed, and in some respects that surprised me.  They all want Oliver and Felicity to have a baby, because they know that they make good parents, but he question they posed was is now the time?

On the negative side, if Felicity finds out she's having a baby and then ends up going to prison, how would that be?  I still feel that someone will use her fingerprints on the bomb, even though it was defused, to be a link to get Oliver. 

Should they give William more time to adjust to his life with his dad and step-mom?  If they would make William a teenager, which would seem more reasonable because of the actor's real age, it would probably work. 

Is Arrow the kind of show where you want to get into a lot of family dynamic type relationships?  Would that put more people in danger?  Would Oliver want to stop being the Arrow? 

They've been very busy lately trying to stop Cayden James and now they have a worse person to worry about, so do they even have time to think about children?  Felicity hasn't even gotten her company off the ground, so would she even be thinking about children?

On the positive side, having a baby would bring a little lightness to the show that oftentimes seems dark.  It might even be a time if they bring William's age up that William could be trained and even help Oliver on occasion, and I think would a dynamic to explore, don't you?

Would you like to see a baby in the bunker?

    I think the whole thing with William learning all those skills Oliver could teach him,would be interesting, because they probably wouldn't always get along. Seeing Felicity juggling work and baby might be interesting too, but I am not sure if the viewers are ready for any of that, because of the simple nature of the show. Hope other readers respond. :)

      I think the writers have written William too young, to learn skills from Oliver. If he were a teenager, it would work. Perhaps another question to ask is William ready to be a brother. He's not had Oliver to himself for very long. My guess is that Felicity could juggle both work and baby, but she may be filled with doubts, because of her own relationship with her mom. I guess we shall have to wait and see. I see pluses and minuses with it all, but I am an Olicity fan, and I would still love to see it at some point.

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

      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...
