Shifting Allegiances Arrow 620 Review

Image
           Diggle's allegiance shifted to ARGUS, NTA shifts to Diggle, and  Oliver shifts his to Anatoly, so I clearly get the title. However, I wonder have the writers had amnesia since Oliver and  Felicity's wedding?  For me there's been very little character growth, or cohesiveness in the story since then. There are only 3 episodes left, yet I'm still not clear where the story takes me.  Shouldn't it be winding down and guiding us to a season 7?  Normally, I watch the episode when they air, and then the next morning, rewatch on the CW app to see  if I can glean more details, or to see if I had missed an important element.  I'm sorry, but I couldn't bring myself to do that this morning.  I don't think the episode to be as bad as Tweets and Facebook comments made it seem, but for me, it's not the best either.         Oliver and Anatoly: Abandoned  by all his  team members, Oliver...

Arrow Returns Tonight: Spoiler Pictures

Image
Arrow returns tonight, and I can't wait.  OTA vs NTA.  Oliver, Felicity and Diggle disagree with Dinah, Rene, and Curtis about the doppelganger, Black Siren, AKA Laurel Lance.  OTA wants to give her a second chance, but Diggle is worried, apparently he tells Oliver, "Going after former teammates may be a line we can never uncross."  That's a revealing line, isn't it? Oliver's reply is, "I agree, but they crossed it first." From spoiler photos, it looks like Dinah has no problem cutting down her former teammates.  However, will all of NTA be willing to fight OTA?  Look at the picture of Rene, does he have second thoughts? Hearts go out to Lance who             someone sees in Black Siren his baby girl. I think we can all understand that.  Will BS be able to be redeemed?  My speculation is yes they will try to redeem her, but it won't all happen this season.  I think we'll see a little bit of BS al...

A Mole in Team Arrow?

Image
               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 607 Thanksgiving

Image
This Thanksgiving episode, stuffed  with lots of  surprises, brought Oliver back as the Green  Arrow. Let's  get started.        Family:  For me this episode cemented Oliver, Felicity, and  William as a family.  The show begins with the  three of them helping the SCPD raise food for over 1200 needy Star  City families.  William stands by his  Dad while Felicity talks to a reporter. William tells  his  Dad that he should go rescue Felicity from  the reporter, which Oliver does and each compliments the other.   William has accepted Felicity  into  his  life.  I think Arrow will build on this in the episodes  ahead.  I also think that when Oliver lied to William about being the Green Arrow after Diggle is  hurt, it could cause another rift between Oliver and William.  My guess is that Felicity and  Thea will help William to see the good that his...
