Arrow 522 Review: Missing

Image
 These Olicity moments are what the viewers have been "missing" on Arrow. This season has been the best season of Arrow in many ways from the story to the best villain that has ever appeared on Arrow.  Even with all the angst of not having Felicity and Oliver on the same page has made for a good story.  We've seen so much character growth from our hero and of those around him.  So now for my reveiw: Oliver and Felicity:  The show begins with Oliver and Thea talking, and how we have missed these two. They are moving on with their lives, and Thea wants to go out to dinner with Oliver, but he says he has someplace to go.  Who didn't love Thea's, "Well, I hope it's not with Susan Williams."  When he said it was with Felicity, he looked so shy and cute.  Who didn't love the flirting these two did revealed the sexual tension between the two. When they agreed to take it one step at a time, we all know that these two will be reunited. Viewers' hear...

Arrow 517 Kapiushon "Hood" Review

 What an incredibly intense episode last night.   Both Stephen Amell and Josh Segarra should be nominated for Emmys for their acting in this episode.  Where to begin? There is so much here from the flashbacks in Russia to current time.  I hope this comes across as organized for you.         Anatoly Knyazev:  I like this character.  He's a gangster, I know, but there is much to like about him, "He's my favorite Russian."  (HaHa ) What I find interesting is that sometimes in the flashbacks he parallels Felicity Smoak.  Anatoly knows Oliver enjoys killing to much, and it bothers him.  He even tells him that he is like Slade Wilson and Ivo.  He wants Oliver to go back to America. At one point when Anatoly and Oliver are looking for the sarin gas, he tell Oliver, "See what happens when you think first..."  I found that similar to Felicity when she told Oliver he could find, "another way."  When  Felic...

Why I hope Tommy Merlyn is NOT Prometheus

          Many blogs posts state that Tommy Merlyn is Prometheus.  They have some plausible reasons for the suggestion.  In summary: Tommy Merlyn was a huge part of season 1, and the showrunners say this season goes back to season 1, and if I remember correctly would be an original character from season 1. Malcolm could easily have put Tommy in the Lazarus pit.  He could have seen the terrible results of doing so, because those who go in come out completely different.  He was adamant about not wanting Thea put in the pit.  Was it because of what it did to Tommy? Malcolm could easily have satisfied Tommy's blood lust, as he tried to do for Thea. Tommy would have a reason to come back to Starling City, when he found out that Laurel had been killed, and he believes Oliver killed Laurel, hence he wants revenge. Tommy knew about the book of names Robert gave Oliver and Felicity and Diggle being an important part of Oliver's life. ...
