The Redemption of Black Siren

   
  Image result for Black Siren killing Vincent image        Katie  Cassidy posted an  image of herself with a plaster cast  on her head.  People now speculate that his will be for her new mask for the  Redeemed Black Canary. We also know that the next episode of Arrow will be a battle between OTA and NTA.  Dinah and Oliver will have a huge disagreement that will lead to a  battle.  Dinah and the others on her team want to see BS punished for her role in Vincent's death.Oliver and his team believe that everyone, including BS deserves a second chance.  That fits with who these three are as people.  Oliver had a second chance to prove that he could be better.  Diggle had a second chance after he killed his brother.  Felicity knows the value of a second chance that she had with not only Oliver but her own father.  They are family, and you don't give up on family.

Lance wanting to see his daughter in this doppelganger can be understandable from the viewpoint of family, no psychiatrist would ever recommend stealing away a doppelganger of your daughter and then make her believe she is your daughter.  Isn't that what Lance wants to do.  He sees "goodness" in her.  Did she hesitate to kill Vincent.  Maybe for a millisecond.   Was she trying to save Star City from annihilation by admitting that she was the mole on James's team?  Or did she know, as I think is the case, that the closer she got to James, the closer she was unlocking the collar around her neck.  When she says, "Daddy" or "Dad" is there any kind of sincerity in her voice?  I don't think so. 

Yet, the chatter on blogs and the internet centers on the Redemption of Laurel Lance.  Some Olicity fans wonder what this means for Oliver and Felicity. I am not worried, because I read this today from Buddy TV, "We talked about whether we should redeem her (and) how we should do so, but again, one of the advantages of having a show --knock on wood-- that you know is staying on the air you can have a long con," said Marc Guggenheim, "that to us is the thing that excites us writers. We really like planting seeds that don't come to fruition for many seasons."  So will BS be redeemed, probably.  Will it this season?  Probably not. 

No one changes overnight.  I don't think we'll see an overnight change.  It will occur over time, so sometimes we may see a redeemed BS, and sometimes we may not.  That should make the show very interesting.  It also would allow BS to play across the Arrowverse.

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...
