Arrow 5.17 Kapiushon: Breaking Point

Image
  Prometheus and Talia want to push Oliver to his breaking point. They want him to believe that he is nothing but evil and cruel.  They use physiological techniques to try and break him.  I think Susan Williams will also be used to break him.  In an interview with the CW, Stephen Amell says that Oliver doesn't believe that Susan is out to get him. He even told Thea that Susan would never out him as the Green Arrow.  What will Oliver think if she does?  What is Susan's secret.

The Mystery of Susan Williams

Image
Susan Williams has been a mystery to me.  The writers have not made me care for or about her.  None of the reviews I have read had anything positive to say about her.  So what's her purpose?  Because, seriously, no one considers that Oliver could ever consider  her the love of his life, the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with.  When Oliver rescued her, he got her lose, and told her to go, not hugs, no long looks. Yes, I know he had to get her out of there, but he needed to get Felicity out too, but he hung onto her, and Felicity even had to repeatedly tell Oliver that she was there. She's not much of  a reporter.  Would an honest journalist use sex to get info on a person?  I don't think so, not even in this age of  "fake news". Most of what she got from her escapade, she already knew.   Perhaps the writers want use her to make Felicity realize how important Oliver is to her.  The writers did nothing to end...

Oliver and Felicity back in Russia

Image
 Remember when Oliver and Felicity went to Russia?They are going again! I understand that around the 15th  episode we shall find them in Russia.   It was in Russia that Oliver realized that he loved Felicity, and I always thought it was there he realized that Felicity loved him.  I am looking forward to this episode.  Also Anatoly is to be in this episode, and his character is lots of fun.  I also understand that Susan will be in the episode as well. Are you excited for Arrow's return Wednesday?  I am looking forward to 5b.

The Vodka Connection: Oliver and Susan (Sorry to put them together)

Image
So, I've been thinking about 509, What We Leave Behind.  When Oliver went to see Susan Williams the camera focused long and hard on the bottle of vodka; it was Russian.  I thought it might have been the same as Oliver brought out in season 2, but it wasn't. From Season 2 From 509 But this does tell me that Susan has a Russian connection.  I don't think it's from a strictly reporters angle either.  She knows something or is it..dun, dun dun, ... someone?   Here is Konstantin Kovar, and look at the swords behind him.  Do they look familiar to you?  They seem to resemble the ones Prometheus uses.   Wasn't Kovar also trained by the League of Assassins?  What if during Barry's stupid Flashpoint, the Lazarus pit was never destroyed and Kovar took a dip in it and stayed young.  I remember Oliver saying that the kind of movements Prometheus used in fighting was familiar to him. Could Susan know Prometheus?  Could she be aid...
