Part 1: The Plot, Themes and Characters
What was the overall theme for this episode / What was the link to the ep. name People in teams need to trust each other Green Arrow needs to trust Wild Dog and the rest of his team Mayor Queen needs to trust Thea Ollie has to trust Anatoly when it comes to the Bratva Fight scenes & Stunts: Share your thoughts Sampson/Stardust is just brutal Final fight Severing the tendons was badass Slow mo explosion walkaway???   Everyone does it in Superhero shows might be overplayed.  Smallville was the worst about it though. Flashbacks: Share your thoughts Not all is what it seems in Bratva Ollie has to learn to trust Anatoly and Bratva Ollie:   This is all about him learning to trust his teams and step up as mayor Diggle In prison - sees vision of Deadshot (nice swerve to make us think he’s back due to Flashpoint) Guilt about brother’s death Tells Lyla to tell John Jr. that he loves him Doesn’t want anyone to break him out of jail Thea Admits to messing up Gets played by reporter Tells reporter that she won’t get played again Felicity Tells Ollie that he needs to step up as a leader Is able to teach the team how Ollie works Listens to Curtis and tells Rory Quentin Lance Back on the wagon? Will his stay sober and be effective as deputy mayor? Deputy Mayor - Michelle Called it Curtis Mr. Terrific is his idol Is the voice of reason - tells Felicity she has to tell Rory about Havenrock Suits up - has a “T” for a mask Calls it “The Arrowcave” Wild Dog
Goes off on own - “kills” Derek Sampson/Stardust; hurts DA case Realizes trust has to go both ways Artemis
Has a mask She’s not doing much yet Ragman / Rory
Walks away when Felicity tells him the truth Tobias Church
In control of the city Prometheus
Detective Billy Malone (Felicity’s BF) lures Ollie to tell him that Prometheus wants to kill the Green Arrow Bratva
Anatoly tells Ollie that he needs Bratva to be his army against Kovar Arrow Cave is canon now! D.A. Adrian Chase
Meet for first time Met Ollie 12 year ago - GF went home with Ollie Pleased that Green Arrow got Samson Derek Sampson
Cody Rhodes was pretty good. He’s small in the WWE world but he and Amell paired up well in fight scenes. Makes you realize in pro-wrestling he might be small but in life he’s a big dude  CURRENT EPISODE DC EASTER EGGS & POP CULTURE REFERENCES
