Prometheus is Earth-2 Felicity. She got Lasik and prefers conservative pantsuits for office dress.

Yeah this is really my only problem with the show right now - they keep pushing the no killing angle but Ollie has a guy on his team whose only 2 powers are duel wielding automatic pistols and some low rent Roy style flipping. They have upped the action scenes this year (the rooftop fight with Ollie swinging from the chopper was excellent) but he is dropping guys left and right with regular arrows to the chest and shooting helicopters out of the sky.

Half the dialogue in the episode was about how he thinks he can't come back but wants to stop her from going there.

I think the writers are just trolling us at this point, let's have ollie kill 30 motherfuckers and blow up a chopper and then have him give a speech about not killing. It's actually pretty loving hilarious how far will they push it?

I mean, on some level I think his point is obviously that there's a difference between killing people when you're in the heat of battle or in self defense and executing a helpless prisoner for revenge.

But on the other hand I laughed uncontrollably when Oliver just shot down a helicopter in the middle of a city and it was never heard from again.

It went to the Arkham Knight school for Helicopters and Attack Vehicles, they're all trained to be unmanned so the Hero doesn't have to feel bad.

And thank God downing a helicopter in the middle of midtown couldn't possibly cause any serious property damage or have any collateral damage. No wandering pedestrians, no structural damage to buildings, no explosions or wreckage. Its probably a biodegradable helicopter.

But really, I just laugh. I'm watching a comic book.

Oliver and Dinah have really solid chemistry, I'd guess. i'm a big fan of the new Canary actually

Narcissus1916

On the one hand, substituting in a new Canary is so blatant and sloppy. Killing off Laurel, a character the show spent three seasons investing in, still feels like an obvious and cowardly way to go.

But drat, y'all. The show has earned so much goodwill this year, and Dinah has a natural chemistry that really works with the show's new "Dark but Not Super Dark" tone.

My guess is somewhere in the next few episodes is a situation where having Ragman around would solve things in 3 seconds, so they put him on the shelf for a bit.

Well, if he can absorb a nuke, in would say he's overpowered and needed to be nerfed, just hopefully not fully and permanently.

LoT isn't that bad, it's much improved this season I think. His presence would improve the show.
