#5.17 "Kapiushon" Promo (they'd never do it, but it'd be fucking wild if next episode was like Breaking Bad's Fly)
And yeah, Nyssa needs to come back and show her sister who the true Al Ghul is.

That boy Prometheus!
Ideas:
Exchanges kidneys with Ollie "so I'll always be inside of you."
Interrupts Oliver in the shower "so we can share our most intimate moments."
Changes all the toilet paper inside every bathroom that Ollie uses to one-ply "so life is always rough."

Prometheus is a sleezy guy. There must be more to this villain than just Ollie killed his dad

They should do an "Ex Team Arrow" rescue episode after Legends wraps - Have Sara, Ray, Roy, Thea, Nyssa and possibly Helena bail them out.
I'm starting to get the feeling that he doesn't hate Oliver for killing his Dad - he wants Oliver to stop being the Green Arrow and go back to being the Hood.
It'd be cool if the season finale this year was like a series finale in how many people they brought back. To close the loop. Or really just Tommy and Laurel for a S1 flashback.
Also Legends has already wrapped!
The title of the next episode means "Hood" in Russian!

I suppose I should have used the word "concludes" instead of "wraps"- and that's what, two more episodes?
This episode was so good and so bad at the same time. It had some amazing character moments, but holy crap at the plot armor protecting Adrian (Susan is one person, kill him).
It was unfortunate that they brought out Adrian's wife just to kill her, did we even see her before this episode?
Then you have Felicity doing all this secretive bullshit and no one giving a damn.
With that being said, I love Prometheus so much!

I could actually see Thawne coming back to help Barry with Savitar and Barrowman coming back to help Oliver with Prometheus after Legends/Legion wraps.

Barrow Arrow just got his groove back. Don't throw it away by bringing back "My Friend Malcolm"

I actually could see them killing Thea off this season. She isn't going back into costume anytime soon and she's done with politics for now. I don't really see where they could take her character logistically.
Ugh no thanks that would just make Oliver that much more depressed and the show is plenty dark enough. Just send her off to live with Roy.
OR TO LIVE WITH ANARKY

Thea rebuilds Queen Consolidated while Oliver's too busy playing with his friends.
I don't see them killing Thea off. It's unnecessary. She's already retired from superheroics. Someone has to have a happy ending.
Also Chesthair outlasting Roy, Thea and Laurel lmao

"I told you, Oliver. Your new friend is always the bad guy."
"Don't think I'm not watching you, Julian and HR"
Yeah the flashbacks since Dolph left have fallen off in quality. Things are moving so fast in the main timeline it's hard to link what's going on to the past so the thematic connection isn't there anymore. It's easy to ignore because everything else is so good and Anatoli is likable.

LOL yeah, wouldn't have expected that.
You mean 3 right? Cause 2 was an awesome season, that is now easily rivaled by this current season.
Episode just finished over here & I caught up on the thread.
Another great episode. Chase, or "Chase," is an A1 asshole
. Keeps shaping up to be one of Arrow's best villains.
Can't wait for next week based off of that preview. Shit is going to get real intense. I'm with Zero: it'd be sick if it was an episode like BB's 'Fly.'

Yeah he/she has to have meant 3. Because 2 has got deathstroke God tier and this season is very close to surpassing that. Adrian Chase is so good lol. Literally shows up in front of the team to fuck up their emotions lol.

If Arrow can keep it up for the rest of the season I won't hesitate to call it Arrow's best season in a rather shocking turn of events from the last two seasons. Crazy how Arrow and LoT have turned it around while Flash continues its season two decline with dumb drama and Supergirl continues being an SNL satire.

Arrow writers still have the dumbness.
Maybe his mother hosts a porn site with servers in the basement... Umm, yeah... ¯\_(ツ

Such a good episode tonight.
Chase being Prometheus is glorious. God, I loved how he kept popping up everywhere. Hilariously entertaining every single time it happened.

Started off rocky with the discount League, but damn Chase made it amazing.
Also hope they add Thea to Legends or something.

I think the explanation was that the sniffer was too powerful and instead of grabbing just the data from her house, it grabbed data from every computer in her neighborhood.
but like how does that even work

god damn Chase is a great villain, can't be understated how having a good villain centers these shows

Great episode. Chase is now officially a top tier DC TV villain in my eyes. His fucking identity has been revealed and he's still punching his timecard for work.
When the episode started with Oliver going to Talia, I wondered if maybe they were setting her up as next season's antagonist. But she's jumping right into things now. Plus, that would probably be a rehash of Season 3.
I'm still trying to figure out what's going on with Felicity and Helix. Things are just way too peachy in that storyline. I'm starting to think things are gonna go really bad there and they might end up being a threat Team Arrow has to take down.
Arrow Season 5 is making Flash Season 3 look so bad by comparison. Arrow and Legends really turned themselves around this year, to a startling degree.

Amazing episode. chase is a great villain. Felicity is going to the deep end. I wonder if her father will back later to stop her.
I think we'll get a couple of episodes on Chase now, but then something happens he goes off grid or whatever for 2-3 episodes, where we'll be dealing with Helix fallout and then back for 3 episodes of the season finale. Can't see them staying on Chase for 7 episodes.

and man I really liked that fight between Ollie and Chase, they didn't want a choreographed dance, they wanted to fucking kill each other.

I could see it going down like that too. The Helix bubble has to pop eventually. Either way, I like that they're giving Felicity a meaty plotline that isn't relationship drama.
Flashbacks are dragging a little for me, but they're so short that they don't bring down the episode. Plus the Robin Hood and "What are you doing with your voice?" bits were funny.

The best thing about Chase is this bootleg Bale voice he's got going. It really gives his performance and swagger an edge over all the CW verse actors right now
This season is the best this show has been too imo. I liked the flashbacks and action in season 1 more. And the surprises in the first two much more. But this season has just been such a breeze to watch overall
And the scenes with Chase in all their faces revelling in being untouchable is awesome. Dudes so good
I kinda hope this feud is strictly between Talia, chase and oliver. I don't want Nyssa to interfere on this one as much as it would make sense
