Tune in with Turner

      Well, what can I say?  This thirteenth episode didn't shine for me.   It ranks in my mind  with 513, when Arrow attempted to tackle gun violence, that episode didn't shine for me either. You can  go back and search my review  of that episode.  For me Arrow works best  when we  have Olicity  moments, and when the  team works  cohesively.  The moments  with Oliver and Felicity solidify the character growth  of both  people. When we have the give  and  take between them, and when we see that even  though the may  have different  ideas, they share the  same  goal.  Arrow has not only been about one  hero's personal struggle in becoming a hero, it's been  about  family.  When we have those family moments in the midst of the struggle of trying to save the city, Arrow shines. Olicity:   Well there wasn't much tonight.  We d...

      According to the synopsis for Divided,  Oliver learns some information about Cayden  James and then turns to an unlikely source for help. Two questions then emerge:  What does he  find  out? To whom does he turn?  Oliver could  find out who  Cayden  James son  is, but that doesn't seem like a reason  for him to turn to  unlikely help, does it?  My guess is that he finds out that James has a team assembled of  BS, Vincent Sobel, Anatoly and Ricardo Diaz, aka Dragon.  So to whom could he turn?  Could  he go back to his team  and ask  them?  He could but then that does't seem so unlikely does it?  If this little synopsis  wasn't a tease then perhaps Oliver goes to Nyssa  for help.  That certainly seems like an unlikely source for help, doesn't it?            What if Oliver gets Lance to talk with Laurel and ...

        Because he thinks Oliver Queen killed  his  son,  Cayden James wants to execute vengeance against Oliver.  So the next logical  question to then ask is, who is Cayden James' son?  Anne, one of my loyal readers, has suggested that one possible answer is Billy Malone.  This makes so much sense to me.  This helps explain why he went to all the effort to  potentially frame Felicity, because  along with Oliver,  he holds her responsible for his death as well.       How would Cayden James know that Oliver is responsible for his son's death?  We know that Vincent Sobel, the Vigilante, works for him, and he certainly  was present at events last season, so he would know.  It is also possible that Anatoly would know.  The Arrow writers always tie in episodes and characters from past seasons.  Doesn't it make perfect sense to have Billy Malone be Cayden James' so...

               The mid-season finale will prove to be a test for team Arrow since there will be a mole in the team, or will there? It seems the OTA (Original Team Arrow) will be at odds with the new members.  This I am sure is exactly what Cayden James wants.  James is a calculating, formidable foe unlike anyone Oliver has come up against.  In a lot of ways he parallels the Thinker on  Flash.  We know that Roy Harper is to return, could he be the mole?  If so, what would be the motivation?Would Evelyn and Rory be considered team members?  They were in the past, but what about now? What reason would Rory have to turn on the team and Oliver in particular?  I would not consider Evelyn a part of the team, but  agent Watson might be convinced that she is.  Then there is Laurel Lance, would you consider an Earth 2 Laurel Lance to be a team member?  I would not, but then again, Agent Watson could b...

         Arrow has released photos from 603, and they have shown us that we fans had hoped for since last season's episode, Underneath, fans will finally see the long awaited kiss and cementing of the Olicity relationship.  The title of the episode is Next of Kin.  We know that Charlotte Ross will be returning for at least one episode as Donna Smoak.  I for one am excited about that, because Charlotte and Emily Bett have a way of enjoying every scene  together, which adds to the characters of Donna and Felicity.   Do you think she's coming back as Mother of the Bride?  I for one, hope so.  Oliver seems to have gotten Samanda Watson off his trail for now, but the viewer has probably guessed she won't be fooled and will find a way to get to Oliver.  At first I thought perhaps that Susan was behind the photo of Oliver, but as I've thought about it, I don't think the photo, which Felicity said was photo shopped, co...

Happy Fourth of July!  I hope each one of you has enjoyed  this day.  How you would like think of Oliver and Felicity enjoying the holiday?  Of course Oliver would do the barbecue since he is the one that can cook, but I image Felicity in a cute red/white dress offering Oliver some (Nocking Point) wine. Wendy Mericle has given an interview in which she said that the threads of Cayden James were left untied, and that this will come back in season 6.  My first thought was that Felicity's father was Cayden James, but now I wonder.  Also, I have thought that perhaps Felicity may have more trouble with her implant, especially if Curtis turns up missing.  In the Underneath episode, Curtis mentioned he needed to work on the tech of  that chip.  What if he is missing? I read also that Oliver may think some of his friends are dead.  I wonder if that's what Stephen Amell hinted at when he asked David Ramsey if he had bought a house?  Im...
