It's so amazing to have Diggle back. Like I said before, he makes all the recruits look useless (except for Ragman who is the only one of the recruits able to hold his own) and the recruits are getting jealous. The Arrow Cave is getting way too crowded and I don't understand why the show felt the need to throw so many new members in. One or two recruits would have been fine but 4 is too many. And it makes everything awkward. The audience knows all about the List and who Oliver was but the recruits don't so we need to sit through half the episode with the new recruits feeling sorry for themselves. Nobody cares. They should all quit and disappear and we should never see them again.
Tonight was focused on Evelyn and I already didn't like her from last season when she was pretending to be the Black Canary. It's just disappointed that they took my favorite charcter from Young Justice and made her into this. Wah wah wah Evelyn was upset that Oliver was keeping secrets and he was an hypocrite when he tried to keep her from getting revenge. Ugh. Was this the first time we heard that her codename was Artemis? At least the show is trying to color in these recruits so they're not all just one-note.
The flashbacks were kind of boring this week too. Kovar's gang attacked a Bratva bar so Oliver pretended to be an American playboy wanting to buy a casino/bar but Kovar knew and threatened him. Meanwhile Thea found out that Lance is still drinking even though he said he quit and she hosted a music festival. Is Verdant still open? Thea mentioned it but I can't remember if it was closed down in earlier seasons. I know we don't go to the set anymore cause the Arrow Cave moved but still nostalgia.
Felicity Felicity Felicity. Why would you tell Billy that you work for the Green Arrow. He is definitely sketchy and I don't trust that he'll keep the secret. It was funny when he started to fangirl a little and wanted to gossip about who was under the hood.
Now let's talk about Prometheus. He's apparently some sort of creepy stalker dude who melted down all of Oliver's arrows to make his shooting stars which is the most hilariously creepy thing I have ever heard. He's definitely someone who knew the Hood season 1 but the show is trying to hint that it's Lance. I don't believe this at all because firstly, Lance doesn't know how to shoot arrows and secondly, why would he decide to kill the Green Arrow now? But at the same time, this is someone who knows that the Green Arrow was also the Hood when not even the new recruits knew this and knows Oliver enough to know about the list which might be common knowledge cause he did kill these people season 1. I can't stop wishing that it's Tommy under the Prometheus mask and in this Flashpoint timeline, he hates Oliver. Or maybe it's Roy, back and pissed in this new timeline.
I hope the reveal is someone we knew and cared about or hiding the identity would be super lame. Also please don't drag this who's under the mask thing for too long cause as Flash fans know, people stop caring after a point. It's probably Felicity's boyfriend tbh. Ugh.
Anyway I did like the episode although it might sound otherwise in this review. I can't help that the recruits still bore me!!
