But powerless sucks

Van Wayne dressed up as Robin was pretty funny. And it's probably the only live action version of Robin we are going to see for a long time.

On TV. They are going to be doing a live action Nightwing movie. So we might get flashbacks.

Its worth remembering that Powerless' raw rating might be higher than the CW shows, but its not on the CW. Adjusted for its network, Powerless is practically dead on arrival.

 

[famicommander]

Powerless is still plummeting from its debut. You can't compare it to shows that are 2-5 seasons in, and you can't compare an NBC show to a CW show apples to apples.

Powerless may get pulled from the schedule entirely if it doesn't stop dropping soon. It's the only comic book show right now that is a guaranteed cancellation.

And the Arrowverse shows on CW aren't declining any faster than the other CW shows, Supernatural aside.

Ratings for almost every show are going to fall year by year, and as the years go by those drops will be bigger and bigger. There are more channels every year, there are more ways to watch than just live TV and more people shift to them every year. DVR, streaming, On Demand, digital sales, and physical media sales will continue to erode the live TV ratings.

Plus Arrow and Flash are usually in the top Pirated TV shows of the year (not that it helps ratings at all, but they're popular) and a lot of people watch them on Netflix, enough so that Netflix arranged a deal to get the new seasons up 2 weeks after they end. I know quite a few people who didn't discover Legends of Tomorrow until they recognized the picture of The Atom on Netflix and they love it now.

‘Arrow’ EP Wendy Mericle Explains That Shocking Prometheus Reveal

 

[Deltron3030]

So Prometheus wants revenge because Ollie slept with his gf? I think there is mention of that when they first meet. so in theory, he would know Ollie is green arrow since he is targeting green arrow not Oliver. Man great season but lot of plot holes it would seem.

 

[Grommers]

Anyone think that Helix could tie into the promtheus story line, if so how?

 

[Slade W]

It is possible that they work with or for him.

 

[metaphysician]

I wouldn't be shocked, but I don't really have any good ideas how. They haven't really given us any computer-related Prometheus plots worth analyzing, and Helix has barely been introduced beyond the one sentence premise.

 

[Jedi Arrow]

Maybe Helix is a slow setup toward S6. They might not be related to Prometheus, but they might be involved with whoever S6's villain may be. Or they might just be a totally tangential group with nothing to do with the main plot.

 

[Slade W]

Almost everything about Justin Claybourne was erased from the internet, which I assume Prometheus had something to do with. Also, Prometheus was able to track down Vigilante by using a piece of his visor. Either Prometheus is very good with computers himself, or he has people who are that are working for him.

 

[Jedi Arrow]

Good point. But then, how does Prometheus benefit from Helix helping Felicity?

Perhaps he wants to corrupt her. It is too early to say.

 

[Jedi Arrow]

Perhaps he wants to corrupt her. It is too early to say.

That's possible, and I guess Helix hasn't really done anything to help against Prometheus; assuming Chase and Claybourne aren't the same person, finding Claybourne's mother really didn't help. If they are the same, knowing his mother still doesn't help Oliver.

 

[Dark Raven]

No information on Episode 16 yet? There's no thread for it. Is it on this week?

There is a thread for it:

The episode isn't on until next week though.

 

[Dark Raven]

Ok thanks. Why isn't it on this week? I shouldn't have watched the most recent episode just yet (I was doing a bit of binge to catch up). Then it would've only been a week if I had watched it later on this week.

To keep even with Flash, which took off for Valentine's Day.

 

[Jedi Arrow]

So, the writers forget about Evelyn? Did the actress become suddenly unavailable? Are they keeping her for the very end of the season? Because ever since the betrayal, she has not even been mentioned once. Not one single time that I can think of. It's like the actress suddenly became unavailable and the writers were like, "Crap, hope everybody just forgets about her, we won't mention her again." Because you'd think she would be a priority for TA; she knows all their identities and she has a major grudge against Oliver. So where the frak is she?

 

[raisethe3]

^^^I was wondering about her as well.

 

[Dark Raven]

What happened to her last time? I can't even remember.

She's been mentioned twice since the mid-season finale.

 

[Mask&Cape]

Has it ever been stated how Oliver is powering the lair?

Are they stealing electricity from the city? Where are they getting money for the tech, weapons and ammo?

Did Thea and Oliver get an inheritance when Moira died or lose it all when Palmer took the family business?

 

[Spider-Fan83]

^does Felicity still have money from Palmer?
