Tune in with Turner

Felicity took a cup of coffee out to the front porch of her cabin in the forest to watch Mia collect fireflies.  Mia would be five in about six months, and Felicity thought how lonely this time would be if she had not had her.  Her mind drifted to William.  He didn't know he had parents who loved him desperately, nor did he know he had a little sister.  What kind of brother would he have been? She felt certain he would be a protective older brother. She smiled when she thought that Mia would be a bossy little sister.  Her thoughts drifted toward  her husband, but she pulled them away; thinking of him was too hard. She called for Mia and told her,"time to get ready for bed."  "One more minute, Mommy, please?"  But Felicity encouraged her to come, and  Mia began to release the fireflies she had collected. "Why are you letting them go, Mia?" "Well, Mommy," she began, they are my watchman,  they are my, what were you once, Mommy?" &quo

     Well, although this was not a concentric Olicity episode, we did  receive quite a huge reveal that certainly  surprised me.  So though this episode wasn't the best one for me, many things still happened that will drive the story forward  to it's  conclusion, which I think really won't happen until 810.  Now that we know season 8 will be the end of the series, season 8 will seem to me, anyway, more like an  extended  season 7.  Enough on that, let's dig in.               Oliver:  Oliver's heart is always for family.  I guess that's about the only good thing that Robert and Moria left him with.  He wants to save Emiko.  He knows she was only 11 when Moria made Robert choose between his  money, his company, and  Oliver and  Thea and Emiko and her mother.  When he left them he left them with no money and no home.  Oliver takes Robert's guilt upon himself.  Oliver has grown, and I was  frustrated at first that he took this guilt upon himself, but then I

We had major developments in this episode that lead to some answered questions from the flash-forwards.   Olicity fans found cause of rejoicing on many levels.  The episode moved in fast paced fashion, and showed the full range of emotion that Stephen Amell can give to his character.  Arrow showcased the team in a unique way as well.  Arrow also gave us a well-developed Stanley Dover.  They introduced this character in episode one at first creating a sympathetic character  while at the same time creating  doubt and then  giving  us the  the full development of his derangement by episode 13.  These "small" villains add so much to the show.  They should do this more often. Then  we had the wonderful scenes with  Oliver and Felicity at parents both now and in the future.  Let's dig in.        Oliver and Felicity and William:  Oliver takes a step back from the SCPD in this episode to focus on William and what he had done to get expelled from school.  We see Oliver's p

                The 150th episode of Arrow proved an interesting change of pace.  It paid homage to the show and the characters we love who are no longer with the show, and it still gave a connective plot to the future episodes. I thought the documentary style might be a confusing,   I actually found this episode enjoyable.  It gave us insights into our characters and it brought our team back out into the open, although why Felicity didn't receive a badge bothered me a bit.              Oliver: A film crew follows Oliver as they follow the life the Vigilante, though it didn't seem so much about Oliver and it did on the questions of vigilante as a whole. It focuses, for me, on how they have all fared since season 6.  Oliver shows so much growth.  He says, "I'm not sure I'm a leader.  I made a lot of mistakes."  It takes growth to admit this.  Oliver still has issues within himself.  He tends to blame himself, this may always remain a part of himself.  I imag
