Thoughts on Arrow 520 Underneath

Image
         Blog posts and Twitter are all talking about Arrow episode 520, Underneath .  Apparently this episode will be Olicity heavy and there will be romance in the lair.  This comes I hear from Marc Guggenheim who also is pro-Olicity.  So where do I stand?  I am cautiously optimistic that this will be so, but I am not sure if it means that Olicity will be together for good. There is a post where Stephen Amell says there is some Russian vodka in the lair and they made a mistake.  "Mistake"  doesn't sound optimistic to me, does it to you?          We know that Felicity wants to use Helix to capture Prometheus, and as such she appears to be on a separate path from Oliver.  The information she gathers comes from the NSA, right?  So how long can she play the game before she gets caught?  I am also guessing that Oliver will need help, and Felicity has always helped the people she loves. ...

Arrow 510 Review Who Are You? Part 2

The use of Red:  In literature red can symbolize passion.  Felicity wore more red in the episode.  This coul...

Arrow 5b Speculations and Facts

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 ...
