Arrow is back for it’s penultimate episode. Things have been ramping up for the past few episodes. That is something that Arrow is really good at. As the end of a season approaches, it raises to fever pitches until it is clear that something needs to be done. in this case it is nukes going…
John is not in his right mind. He is frustrated and uncertain. He’s carrying a lot of guilt on his shoulders and it’s making him behave irrationally. John has gone more than just vigilante, but reckless.John was a problem that was waiting to happen. Lyla didn’t like his behavior. it got him to finally back…
Laurel Lance is dead. That meant that the vast majority of the episode was spent with flashbacks to times when Laurel was still around as the team also dealt with moving forward without her. It is strange that when someone dies on this show, they never truly stay dead forever. There is this lingering presence…
Andy Diggle stepped into the forefront this episode. He’d faded back for a little while, but now that things are ramping up it makes sense that hes become more important. He is the in that Team Arrow has to the inner workings of HIVE. While we know that HIVE seems none too keen on Darhk…
Oliver is not keen on slacking off now that things are a little better with Darhk off the streets. He doesn’t want anyone to fall behind and relax. Darhk is making himself busy in prison. I’m surprised that he seemed to have more screen time now that he was in prison than he did when…
Arrow is back. So is Cupid. She’s none too enamored with love any more. The opening of her killing the young couple was absolutely defeatist. It wasn’t until she left them as a symbol on the street to be found that her hostile intentions were clear. She’s going after happy celebrity couples at that. The…
Connor Hawke is particularly good at being Green Arrow, something that the Legends didn’t want to really stick around to find out what actually happened to Oliver. When Sara finally tracked Connor down, she got him to talk. She simply wanted to know what happened to Oliver. Instead she was told that Oliver was dead…
Felicity found out about William the hard way, by Darhk flaunting the fact that the young boy was in his custody. This sent Felicity into a rage because of Oliver’s inability to tell her the truth. it cut her deep. That pain only got worse as it was revealed that Thea and Barry also knew…
Team Arrow is currently spinning desperately trying to figure out why exactly Darhk is making his play. Why would he let his wife run for mayor if he only wanted to destroy the city. In some ways that makes perfect sense. By having her in the office he would be able to more easily collapse…
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…
Felicity is alive. She’s still in bad shape with apparent nerve damage. She’s been in and out of surgery and looks it, but even still she’s maintaining her usual humor and wit. It’s a credit to her character, but that’s still not a place you want to see her in. All this time Oliver did…
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…
The moment that Barry Allen appeared in season 2 of Arrow, both Arrow and The Flash were inexplicably tied. Thankfully, the creators indulged the desires of their audience, and their own fan-driven hopes, and gave us a cross over. The first cross over came during episodes eight of both The Flash season 1 (“Flash vs…
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…
Enter Vandal Savage. Within moments of his first introduction he murdered an entire group of policemen brutally and intense. He is dangerous and vicious in ways that are enough to make anyone cringe. Quickly we are able to see that he’s out for Kendra. Something about her. Barry and the crew quickly realize that things…
So, I pondered...
