When Sarah Lance instinctively beats up a thug in the mansion and asks Oliver how she could possibly know kung fu (not knowing she's in the Dominator VR), Oliver says she most likely used Jeet Kune Do . Newly appointed Mayor Oliver Queen finds himself challenged as he fights on two fronts for the future of Star City. With his right hand, John Diggle, back in the military and his sister Thea adamant about hanging up her vigilante hood as Speedy, Team Green Arrow is down to just Oliver and Felicity – but they’re no longer the only vigilantes in town.
He is a key do-everything cog at the power forward spot shooting by far a career best from 3-pt range so far as well as putting up above average steal and block rates. Expect him to be the primary option guarding Keion Brooks Jr. for the Huskies. Last year Flanigan had a down offensive season but his shooting splits are up across the board so far this year. He also has more than doubled his career high block rate so far and has gotten it done on the wing. Roy Harper and Thea get their own subplot, as Roy decides that he owes his life to the Hood and he has to find him, and Thea promises to help her boyfriend do just that. This is a story with real potential—especially after Thea was so visibly disgusted when shown one of the men her brother sent to the morgue—but I wonder how much of it we’ll see this season and how much of it will carry over to season two.
Arrow - Season 5
During Mr. Blank’s attack on her apartment, Laurel reloads her shotgun by sliding the pump up with one arm. In real life, while flashy, this move is risky and something a professional with guns wouldn't and shouldn't ever do. When communicating with other A.R.G.U.S. agents to look for Floyd Lawton, Lyla uses her codename "Harbinger" which is her superhero name from the comics.In season 8 of Arrow, Lyla would become Harbinger during the Anti-Monitor Crisis.
This is the kind of character that can become tiresome when overused, but Arrow has waited 20 episodes before going to this particular well, and this is an episode that really benefits from Richards’ energy. He even gets to share a rare genuine moment with Oliver when he asks him mid-fight just what the island did to him, and Oliver snarls that the assassin is about to find out. But in the ensuing episodes, the second complication has emerged, as Laurel has spent most of the season building a surprisingly healthy relationship with Tommy. Their romance has never been one of the show’s more compelling elements, but it’s been an effective use of their characters, and no matter how many times Tommy says Oliver is Laurel’s one true love, it’s difficult to really buy into that.
Episode number
Everything seems perfect, but Oliver starts to notice small imperfections that make him question this new reality. Meanwhile, Felicity and the recruits take on a new threat with help from The Flash and Supergirl. Oliver wakes up to a life in which his parents are alive and he is about to marry Laurel; Felicity faces a new threat with the help of The Flash and Supergirl. Ideally the Huskies would have a great crowd to help them in a tough non-conference game. And maybe they will but circumstances couldn’t be much worse to set up for an underwhelming situation. Not only is it winter break so a lot of the students have gone home but there are also several inches of snow on the ground.
As we approach the endgame for the first season, Arrow is in a good place. In fairness, I don’t dislike this element, not exactly; I just don’t care about it. And when so much of “Home Invasion” is built around that relationship, that leaves the episode in a tricky position.
Home Invasion
I like its effort to say something different about the superhero genre, and I like how that has often dovetailed with the obligatory soap opera elements. I like how the show has built up most of its core characters and, especially in recent weeks, pushed them into conflict with one another, and I like how the characters’ various dual identities have driven so much of that tension. I like the balance it’s found between the ongoing narrative and mythology and the demands of episodic storytelling. Now, I don’t necessarily love the show, at least not yet, but it’s proved a fundamentally solid show that’s often capable of more than that.
It makes sense for Diggle to be angry with Oliver and to abandon him at episode’s end, but Diggle isn’t blameless here, and hopefully the show will acknowledge that in future episodes. So when “Home Invasion” focuses in on what Oliver and Laurel mean to each other, there’s precious little sense that the episode is paying off a story the show has spent a year telling. Instead, it feels like a last-ditch attempt to make Oliver’s love for Laurel an important part of his character before the season concludes. Divorced from this larger context, this episode is more or less successful, but the sense of narrative reshuffling hangs over the episode.
#23 Auburn Game Preview & How to Watch
And on the island, Shado teaches Oliver how to use the bow. This episode focuses more on arrow's past and you kind of have to be a fan of arrow to understand it. As a freshman at Georgia Johnson shot nearly 40% from 3 but he has been below 30% last year and so far this one.
Al Sapienza, who portrayed Rasmus in this episode, went on to play Joe West's partner, Fred Chyre, in the premiere episode of The Flash, "Pilot". Laurel takes the boy into her custody until his extended family can be reached, but the hitman comes after Taylor, who can identify him. Laurel is saved by the Hood, and Tommy suggests that they all go to the Queen Mansion for protection while the police look for the hitman. Laurel represents the Moore family, who are suing a corrupt businessman, Edward Rasmus, who cheated the family out of their life savings. A hit is put out on the family and the couple, Eric and Nancy Moore, are killed. If your review contains spoilers, please check the Spoiler box.
Green Arrow’s public defeat of Damien Darhk at the end of Season Four has inspired a new crop of masked heroes to step up and defend the city, though their painful inexperience makes them obstacles rather than allies in the field. The arrival of a deadly new adversary will force Oliver to confront questions about his own legacy, both as mayor and as the Green Arrow.
Plus you’ve got people like me currently sick with the flu and so not going in person. That means Washington needs it to come down to the battle in the paint and in particular Johni Broome versus Braxton Meah. Broome is shooting 7/29 on midrange jumpers so hopefully the Husky zone can convince him to try that free throw line shot rather than going all the way to the rim. “I dye it, actually… I keep your secrets.” Felicity, don’t ever change.
