Nyssa is still trying to claim that Oliver is her husband. At least she’s trying to get Oliver to do what she wants by drawing him in and using Thea as leverage. Oliver isn’t quite keen on killing Malcolm though. Despite listing off all the terrible things that Malcolm has done, Oliver knows that just…
It’s a low blow to go after innocents at a volunteer event. Yet, that shouldn’t be surprising when HIVE attacked the bay. Those were innocent people including children. It was the last straw for Oliver and they decided something needed to be done. Oliver’s response to this attack was him calling Darhk out to the…
If either The Flash or Arrow had to be the show which included flashbacks, it makes perfect sense that it would be Arrow. The flashbacks are already embedded in the format and so it made it easy to transition. Also the flashbacks weren’t used just to give us more understanding of who Hawkman and Hawkgirl…
Felicity was real reminiscent of the old times when it was just Oliver, Diggle and Felicity. They may be working as a team, but Oliver and Diggle are broken. Inorder to see them back again, we need something serious to happen to spur their relationship back onto less icy terms. The pair won’t even spend…
What perfect timing that Oliver walked into the loft moments after Thea was gored (and yes, I believe that’s the most appropriate term for what happened). It was just enough and just fast enough to get her to a hospital. Get her stabilized. However, it may not have been fast enough to spare Thea. The…
Ra’s is well aware that Oliver Queen is not dead. Heck, he knows it and doesn’t particularly care. This is mainly because he knows that Oliver was not Sarah’s killer. It isn’t until Nyssa finds out and pushes for justice. Clearly, Daddy let Nyssa go especially after Thea called in the league so they could…
Count Vertigo was back in business this episode. instead of haunting Oliver, the focus was on Laurel. This was rather fitting as we got to get a bit deeper into Laurel’s mindset as she settles deeper into her role as Canary. As much as one would hope that we have understood the motivations behind Laurel’s…
With the police abandoning the Glades there is no one to protect people from Brick’s men and other troublemakers except for Arsenal and Canary. With back up support from Felicity and Diggle, it’s a small team to protect so many people. My one issue with the scenario is that Diggle is sitting everything out in…
Just because Oliver Queen may be dead and three days have passed that doesn’t mean trouble will stop in Starling City. Even in that brief absence, it appears that Diggle is already picking up the Arrow mantle as he dons the hood and works with Arsenal to take care of criminals in the city. They…
The League of Assassins are back in full swing with threats and reveals. Sarab, one of the League’s own will kill 50 people every day until Sarah’s killer is found. Only Sarab is the name that Maseo goes by now. Oliver has two days to find the murderer before this happens, which kicks the team…
If there is one thing that I’ve recognized this season it’s that very few characters are the same. Ollie is quickly and easily recognizing that Thea is not the same girl that she once was. She’s more mature and everything about her is exuding it. It is a great change for Thea’s character who often…
All about Thea. As Oliver’s little sister, and probably the love of Roy’s life, it’s not surprising that the two would both head off to Corto Maltese to make sure Thea is alright and attempt to smooth things over. It was nice seeing Thea welcome Oliver with a hug rather than be bitter. He is…
Clearly the cure that they used on Roy worked as he woke up just as people came for them. As they were attacked, he struck, but was quickly in pain. It looks like the cure worked and team Arrow got out of the clock tower in time before Lyla appeared and shot a missile at…
The exploding room from last week has separated Oliver and Laurel, but Laurel had Oliver’s quiver. In it there ws an explosive arrow that she neeeded to shoot. And she did so with a calm that allowed the two to reunite again. The timing of Felicity running over Ravager as as she ranted about how…
Malcolm Merlyn has returned. With the reveal of Ra’s Al Ghul having ties to Merlyn, one shouldn’t be particularly surprised. One should be surprised that Thea is his daughter. This episode was a big hitter on two fronts. The biggest aspect of this episode is the return of The Count. He pulled off a great…
So, I pondered...
