Some Thoughts on the Second Half of Arrow Season 7

   Image result for Arrow season 7 episode 10 images            Some of my readers have expressed concern over the way season seven has taken a darker turn than past seasons.  I will concur with that assessment given the very lengthy prison episodes and the flash forwards show a much different Star City than we thought might be twenty years into the future. The second half the season should bring us more light if only for the reason that Oliver and Felicity are together again.

Even though Oliver and Felicity have both changed, they have come through this trial stronger.  They will be stronger together, and each will understand the other better.  This is not to say they won't have struggles, they will, but they will survive.  Oliver has an understanding of just what his parents were like, but I think Emiko's appearance will still be a bit of a struggle for him.  He always wants to help, and I think he will reach out to her, but I'm not sure how accepting she will be.  I think Felicity and Oliver will work through this together.

I  have read that the second  half of  Arrow may focus more on Diggle and Lyla. Using Diaz will have to present a problem for them, and of course we have Crazy Stanley out there somewhere, and I'm expecting that he'll show up at some point in time, don't you?  At some point I think we will see the return of OTA. 

We shall probably have one episode that will mostly occur in the flash forward.  I think in that episode we shall find the Felicity isn't really dead. (At least that is my hope.)

What do you think Emiko's list is all about?  Did Robert leave her a book as well as Oliver, and if so why?  I am thinking that China White will be Emiko's mother.  Wouldn't that be interesting?

I think we'll find  more about Rene in the future. 

Looking forward to the Return of  Arrow:

    China White seems a weird guess. Why not Isabel Rochev?

      Nonnie, Sorry I didn't get to you sooner, but H Kirkish answered your question very well, and now of course we all know who her mother was. :) But thanks for reading and taking the time to comment.

    There was a picture of her mother on her board that Renee also saw, remember? She was Asian, but didn't look like China White, so definitely not Isobel......

      H Kirkish, Sorry I didn't answer sooner. You are right. It couldn't have been Isabel, because she isn't Asian, and now we know who it was. : ) thanks for commenting and for reading!

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...
