Arrow 511 Second Chances Review

Image
 Last night Arrow gave us the new Black Canary aka, Tina Boland, whom we find out at the end is really Dinah Drake.  Of course we know that Laurel's first name was Dinah, so this is Arrow's new Black Canary.  She got her Canary Cry in Central City at the time of the  particle accelerator explosion.  She knows how to fight, because she had been CCPD  Clearly, Juliana Harkavy can act.  Her performance was both believable and authentic.  She holds her own with Oliver. As I have stated before, I know zero about comic books or comic book icons, so I had to do a little research as to why the showrunners found it necessary to give us a Black Canary, when there seems to be plenty on board who can help Oliver fight crime. Apparently the original Black Canary in the 1947 comics was named Dinah Drake, so this is a wink at history.  I guess the Green Arrow has always had a Black Canary, and since Arrow is taken from the Green Arrow, then it would seem...

Arrow 5b Speculations and Facts

Image
First, I want to thank my readers for coming back to have a look when I have not posted anything in a while.  I have had company and some health issues, but I hope to be up and running again.  I know I am new and there are other, better folks with blogs, so to each of you that return here, I humbly thank you, and hope that each of you have a wonderful 2017!                    I like to deal in facts, and perhaps that's why speculating is difficult for me.  I am like Sergeant Friday, "Give me the facts, Ma'am, just the facts."  So, I am going to try and give some speculations based on the facts as  I know them now. The facts: Felicity is not going to blame Oliver.  First, this would be out of character for her, because she knows Prometheus tricked him, but we also know this because the showrunners told us this. Felicity is going to get outside help, and it won't be her father, again this from the ...

New Character Coming to Arrow

              Juliana Harkavy will join the Arrow cast as Tina Boland, a detective from Central City.  She  will have a problem with the vigilanties.  She has some sort of "island" experience of her own, and so Oliver will have an understanding of what motivates her.  Some speculate that she will become the new Black Canary and thereby Oliver would honor Laurel's wish to have a new Black Canary to help Star City.  She apparently will have a military background.  I have read one person's speculation that she might even be the daughter of Detective Lance.  Guess we will wait and see on that one.               Meanwhile Felicity will journey to a darker side to catch Prometheus herself.  What exactly does this mean?  I understand from some tweets that what became uncorked in 502 will still be occurring in 512.  Havenrock is my guess. I also think we will see F...
