Maybe, but his wife looks more like Raven.

Also anyone else get a "The Shining" vibe from his daughter? That's probably intentional.

Personally I think a DAahark rendition of Santa Baby was the way to go in that scene. Although technically Santa is a Christmas figure his image is a lot more secular than baby Jesus.

They were just at a lighting ceremony, so I think Ner Li Dakik (I Have a Candle) would work well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XPbf0bMqg4

The downside is not as many commercial versions as Christmas songs. Most goyim don't even know we have ones that don't involve dreidels.

The little drummer is explicitly a Christmas song... Did they intend that after Felicity made a big deal of Christmas vs holidays?

You're right. Couldn't they have at least performed the song with a klezmer band? To be inclusive.

Just chiming in as a Jew goon to tell you all Felicity's reaction with HOLIDAYS was very accurate and realistic. It's almost exactly like that every single time. Someone says Christmas or whatever and our people can't help ourselves from informing you that Hanukkah exists too. Then the rest of everyone rolls their eyes and sighs before saying "yes.... Holidays".

Mad props to the arrow team for gassing the only Jew and Hitler-Did-Nothing-Wrong on a Christmas episode of all things. Takes balls. Large large balls.

It was Ollie's party and he celebrates Christmas, so it was a Christmas party.

But it was also a public event so it should have been more inclusive. Although he is running unopposed so he doesn't exactly need the Jewish vote.

Is there a different holiday song that could double as a foreboding, yet festive march?

Quite a few of them. I mean really, if you can't do something sinister with "Glorious now, behold him arise. King, and God, and Sacrifice." you aren't really trying that hard.

That's actually pretty great. I really couldn't take Dhark seriously until this episode. Godwinning it out then immediately gunning down Ollie and Felicity's car while he goes to hug his daughter all to Christmas carols was legit unsettling.

The flashbacks are all smiles and laughter for the viewer. Because of how bad they are.

They are completely pointless now and should be dropped. It was bad and super boring last season and it's still more of the same this season.

They might work better if they were produced as a comic book or something and released in between episodes as supplementary story, since maybe they could afford to do something more substantial with them then.

That's the best idea I've read yet. Heroes (the original) had a good thing going with their expository comic series - at least during the first season, when the show was good.
