Next of Kin Arrow 603 Review

Image
 Tonight's episode had a  lot in it, and so there's much  to talk about.  This episode had many highs, and for me a couple of low moments, let's just start with the best, and leave the rest for last, shall we?          Olicity:  Finally the fans of Olicity got so much goodness tonight.  I  enjoyed Felicity's babbling whenever Oliver came around to talk  to her.  They know each other so well.  We all know that Felicity knows Oliver so well, especially when Oliver came to talk to her about William, and she said, "You said,  relax, stop worrying, didn't you?"  Then Oliver  said, "How did you know?" And Felicity tells that she knows him.  I loved that moment, because it was real.  However, I think Oliver knows her very well too.  Remember when she's eating chips for  breakfast?  Oliver brings her  a Big Belly Burger.  Cute, even if it was a bribe to get her help wit...

Arrow 603 Next of Kin Preview

Image
                 Oliver has some problems and he turns to someone for help.  It would seem natural that he would turn to another father.  He has talked a little with Rene, and of course there is Diggle, and the most experienced father would be Lance, but I am guessing that he turns to Felicity.  Why do I think this?  I think this because he trusts Felicity.  They resolved that issue, and I think he would turn to her, because she knows what it is like to lose a parent, for in effect she lost her father when he left.  She can understand from that point of view,  plus she can give Oliver the encouragement he needs to press on.  Oliver has overcome a lot to get to where he is, and it isn't easy turning things over to someone else, so Felicity can be the one person he can talk things over with. On a side note, how do you think Diggle will do as the Arrow. It seems Curtis and Rene aren't too sure, and ...

Thoughts on the Flash 403

Image
            The Flash has taken a lighter tone this season.  It's good to see a happier kind of Barry. I felt sorry for Wally and his loss of Jessie. I had hoped that they might be round this season.  Did you feel bit sorry for Wally when he announced that he had been gone, but no one noticed?  I have a feeling that we haven't see the last of either one of them.  Of course the way Jessie had treated her dad was the catalyst for Harry to return.  I find Tom Cavanagh's acting amazing.  He has played four different versions of Harry Wells now, and each so different.    I find  I miss H.R, but this Harry has potential too.  I enjoy his interaction with Cisco. Did you enjoy the way Iris wanted to hurry up and marry Barry, thinking that they may never end up getting married?  That was cute.             Reading the feed about Joe and Cecile having a baby, I discovered...

Olicity Rises and Speculations Abound

Image
         Arrow has released photos from 603, and they have shown us that we fans had hoped for since last season's episode, Underneath, fans will finally see the long awaited kiss and cementing of the Olicity relationship.  The title of the episode is Next of Kin.  We know that Charlotte Ross will be returning for at least one episode as Donna Smoak.  I for one am excited about that, because Charlotte and Emily Bett have a way of enjoying every scene  together, which adds to the characters of Donna and Felicity.   Do you think she's coming back as Mother of the Bride?  I for one, hope so.  Oliver seems to have gotten Samanda Watson off his trail for now, but the viewer has probably guessed she won't be fooled and will find a way to get to Oliver.  At first I thought perhaps that Susan was behind the photo of Oliver, but as I've thought about it, I don't think the photo, which Felicity said was photo shopped, co...

Why Olicity Works

Image
There have always been people who never wanted Felicity and Oliver together, but recently there has been some joy over the fact that in the first two  episodes of  Arrow they saw very little of "Olicity".  In some reviews, there has been little mention at all of  Felicity.  I am not a purist, and  in full disclosure, I have to admit, when I first viewed Arrow, I had no idea that Arrow was a comic book hero.  I approached Arrow as sort of a fantasy/adventure show.  I have gone back over the  early seasons of Arrow and I found reasons why Felicity worked, and why Arrow needed  her  and hence why Arrow  needs Olicity.       For background let's look at the past lives of both Oliver and Felicity.  Oliver's parents treated their children more like adult friends than children. After Oliver returns from the island and Thea had been arrested for shoplifting, Moria tells Thea to get ready for school, and Thea tells...

Tribute Arrow 602 Review

Image
Overwatch       Arrow starts off with the traditional voice over that we didn't have last week, followed by new title card. Instead of just the Arrow, we now have a symbol for each member of Team Arrow.  There  is bird for Dinah (BC), a dog for Rene (Wild Dog), a T for Curtis (Mr. Terrific), a technological eye for  Felicity (Overwatch) and a helmet for Diggle (Spartan).  It was unexpected and also a great idea.  It's no longer Oliver  working alone, but everyone working together as a Team.  It's part of the growth of the show. Oliver no longer needs to be alone.  So, here are my  thoughts on tonight's episode.           John and Dinah:   Dinah finally found out the John's injuries are serious.  He has shrapnel wounds that caused nerve damage.  I thought their scenes were intense, but also, I felt a sense of relief, because frankly, it seemed in 601, that John and Dinah were ...
