As it turns out, Prometheus is the bigger draw this season. But yeah, we barely see Ivan Drago.
He was supposed to do a very short stint as he is still a very active movie actor. It was so fun we get a bit more then they planned initially.

This section from the AVClub review really explains why I loved this episode so much:

Last Night's episode was fantastic. This is the best season since Season Two. I wish Prometheus's costume was better but whatever it's TV DC Comic show.

Hmm, so Prometheus is the big bad? The shooting star killer yeah?
Guess I should catch up as soon as then, still have a lot of Flash to get through too. Dropped Supergirl the moment they announced that racist cuntwaffle Sorbo was up for a role.

Yes, Prometheus is the big bad. Stay out of this thread, go catch up! Don't get spoiled.
And if you think Supergirl is supporting racism, well that's kind of the reverse of the season's theme. Especially funny considering who Sorbo is playing.
Sorbo plays a huge asshole.

I'm out, sounds like some good shit in Arrow this season, about damn time after the last couple of seasons.
And I don't think SG is supporting racism so much as giving a role to a racist cunt, just rubbed me the wrong way. I'll reconsider and give it a shot should the response be good.

But the fun thing is they have him play a racist cunt. Probably not in purpose but it's a funny match.

Man I feel like I have seen this before in this show. Like in Season 2 when Slade had Oliver in check. Disappointing.

I would put money on it not only being on purpose, but that Sorbo's not in on the joke.

Chase is probably running the hacker group.
He'll probably kill someone close to Ollie.
He will force Ollie to kill someone as Oliver Queen and not the Green Arrow.

Finally that awful tattoo is gone. Of course removal by charbroil isn't my first choice, but I'll take it.
P.S. Stephen Amell's chest game is on point.

I feel like it's different though. Slade wanted to destroy Oliver because of what he did. Chase wants Oliver to destroy himself because of who he is.

I'd post this in response to the Flash questions in that Arrow thread but it reveals Prometheus sadly.

I hope everyone in this thread is dropping by that Arrow thread and letting everyone know it isn't BS and Arrow has really returned.
This week's episode has me drawing some parallels to Justified's final season.
Both Raylan and Ollie doing the right thing for the wrong reasons. Both killing their way throughout seasons essentially because they like it. But both also ultimately on the side of good. Unlike Adrian and Boyd who are willing to kill anyone, even their spouses, to get their own ends. Only, Ollie took the step of killing when he didn't have to long before season 1 actually started. And I wonder what the writer's will tell us about who Ollie is, at core, with how they handle the rest of the season. Specifically, the same choice that Raylan face as the AV Club put so succinctly:
"Boyd providing Raylan with justification to shoot wouldnt tell us anything about Boyd that we dont already know, and such an action would forever obscure the one thing we really need to know about Raylan. As soon as Boyd makes it clear that he wont pull first, that he absolutely still poses a threat to Ava but not an immediate one, Raylan must make his choice."

You know that's right, Hoss.
It didn't return from anything though, Season 3 was meh, made Felicity a bad character for the sake of relationship drama, something every DCTV show has going on right now on CW, had to set up Legends of Tomorrow for half of its season, the same thing that fucked over The Flash Season 2, and had Ra's not be a real threat post killing Oliver.
Season 4 is Season 2, without Manu Bennett and a tiny bit of lesser quality. Dahrk is actually a better villain than Slade to me, but the season didn't work enough with him to take advantage of Neal's acting or ability to make him scary. Season 4 is good minus a few bumps such as Laurel giving Olicty the rub while dying. But again, bullshit writing for character drama with main pairing. Flash has this problem, Supergirl has it, Legends kinda has it.
Season 5 has just been great, it has followed from Season 4 significantly better than I expected with me caring for every character again except Diggle and that's because he ain't doin shit. Introduced Ragman, Wild Dog, and gave Curtis a lot more depth. Forgot all about Artemis till she came back but she came back with a fury. Chase has been great.
But the season hasn't returned from anything.

You can keep saying this all you want but that doesn't change the fact that season 4 didn't work no where near as well as 2
Yeah, even though I somewhat liked season 4 (Killing Laurel, stupid Felicity stuff and such were huge misses, and even ending wasn't that special (ok, just nothing out of ordinary)), I wouldn't even consider it near season 2.
Outside of 5, I prob rate the 4 seasons as thus: 2 > 1 >> 4 >>>> 3

I said that the other day. Is just repeats of bits from previous seasons. Prometheus worse big bad yet.
So you just gonna ignore the rest of the statement then?
I'm just annoyed seeing people say Arrow is back. It ain't back form anything, the quality of Season 3 was a huge outlier as we can see.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Yeah, that beat has actually been working for me. Their relationship (and Oliver being a Bratva captain) makes a little more sense now.
The flashbacks being halfway decent is a huge plus for this show.

I don't agree with the rest rest of the statement I found 4 to be really poor, Dahrk was wasted imo
Low. It would be really amazing if they could get him for an entire season.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
So, like, Prometheus cut Tobias Church's neck the same way Oliver did Kovar, right? Poetry, right?
