This has the potiential to be the coolest finale of any of the seasons of Arrow. Deathstroke, Boomerang and Prometheus. Holding out that Roy, Nyssa, Katana, Ragman will make appearances to help Oliver and Team Arrow as well!

I doubt Deathstroke will turn up.

It just doesn't make any sense if Prometheus broke Boomerang out, but not Slade. Now that you mention it, the picture of the mask could be of a flashback when Oliver goes back to Lian Yu.

I think he is referring to the island itself, and not Deathstroke. I think they will give a reason like Slade being moved to another location, or perhaps Prometheus not trusting Deathstroke, and thinking he may be a threat to his plans, so he doesn't break him out.

She's way too anemic for me to even want to see any nudes of her.

Wow, I actually meant for this to be the eye roll emoticon and never noticed I put an entirely different one until now. Holy ****.

 

[HighFivingMF]

Heads of that show might want to distance themselves from her due to the possible bad publicity? It's the same reason Vanessa Hudgen's star kinda went to hell after her first nudes leaked, and she hasn't had a god substantial role since until recently with Powerless.

There are pictures of Melissa Benoist having sex online and they still cast her as the lead in Supergirl...

I half-expect a copout with him appearing armor-only like he did in the 100th episode, and digitally editing in a sound byte of Manu Bennett saying "Hey, kid," and Slade being mute after that for the rest of the episode. But Slade wasn't wearing his armor in prison, you say! True, but I wouldn't put it past Chase to somehow find it and bring it to him.

Or, like you said, Slade's been moved to another cell, or Chase just doesn't trust him, or some similarly convenient excuse for him not appearing.

Having images stolen shouldn't be an issue that prevents any actor from getting work. Hopefully the CW realizes that.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Lol...so they can get him a good wig/lace front but when it comes to their females having to wear wigs (apart from Sara) they look cheap as hell!?!

I hope they don't do what they did in the 100th episode, but it wouldn't surprise me if they did.

Well you guys are right. She's back as series regular as Siren next season

 

[Pennywise]

Nice!!!

 

[Mask&Cape]

I thought the season 5 was just a long sleeve version of the season 4 suit. It's definitely not the original suit.

It is the S4 suit with sleeves. The S5 suit is probably one of my favorite suits so far, tied with the S1 costume. Definite thumbs-up for the costume designers for this season. Wild Dog, Ragman, and Prometheus (and Diggle's new helmet) all have fantastic looks. The only sort-of stinker is Evelyn's "green t-shirt, leather jacket, and eye paint" look. I'm excited for when Dinah eventually gets a full costume; I bet it'll be rockin'.

Sorry I meant similar to the old design of season 3, not that it was the original or exactly like season 3.

I had a look at some stills and I see the similarities to season 4, but Amell looks much broader in the season 4 suit than in the current one. I obviously haven't been paying close enough attention to the costumes.

Oh my apologies for mistaking your post.

Peace.

Loreal ?

Cause he's worth it.

Hm. Arrow has now settled into a series low. 0.5/2 Demo. Only a million and a half viewers.I think CW network forced them to bring Cassidy back because of the poor ratings.

 

[Herolee10]

Can someone have Oliver make up his mind on whether he wants to embrace his inner darkness or not already?

I swear, he's been going through the same character arc since Season. 2.

Season 2- Don't kill people any more so that he can be a real hero and honor Tommy's death.

Season 3- In order to beat Ra's, he has to kill him and do anything that's necessary in order to protect Star City.

Season 4- He has to overcome his own inner darkness, only to realize that some people must die to atone for their sins.

Season 5- He believes that it's necessary to kill again, only to realize that killing isn't the right choice and that he must bring Prometheus down alive in order to save his own soul.

Meanwhile by not letting Chase be killed by Bratva to assuage Oliver soul, Chase just killed two federal marshals who no doubt had friends and families.

Things could have been executed better at certain moments and during certain seasons (mainly 3 and 4), but after what he went through on Lian Yu, it makes sense that he would struggle and take time to overcome the effects it had on him, especially when facing different challenges and being tested in different ways. It isn't surprising that he would have relapses and struggle to know what is the right thing to do. There was more to his "darkness" and him overcoming it than just killing people in seasons 3 and 4, like him trusting others, finding happiness in his life , becoming more pro-active during the day by running for mayor and whether he thought his mission was worth dying for.

My feeling is that since this is the last season with flashbacks, he will finally change his ways. He was on the island for five years, and then it took five years to get it out of him and for him to overcome it.

 

[Dark Raven]

Loreal ?

Cause he's worth it.

They're bringing back Katie Cassidy as Loreal Lance.

It better be the last season with flashbacks. He's already talking about them dropping him back off on the island. We're also already up to five seasons now. What more can be told? Unless we're going to start getting flashbacks to season 1 now with bits we never had time to explore before. They'll bring back all the old cast of Tommy Merlyn, Moira Queen etc.

They can do non-island, non-Oliver flashbacks like we saw this year with Rene--unfortunately.

 

[cheungcheung]

This season has been great without olicity. Why bring it back next season? At least Katie is back. They need to get rid of some of the other new cast members though in my opinion.

 

[Dark Raven]

We're going to eventually get Olicity in the present day and also flashbacks to season 3 and 4 of Olicity so we can relive all those moments.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I think someone will die in the finale. I also hope that Siren double crosses Prometheus since it wouldnt make sense for her to follow him again.
