Confess
There are a few staples in every season of Arrow. For one, they have to include at least one flashback heavy episode. As much as the flashbacks have annoyed me over the past few years, building an entire episode around what's going on Russia wasn't the safest bet. The other staple for Arrow is having Oliver spend an entire night strapped or cuffed up shirtless. Most of the time, those two staples go hand in hand. The ladder is a bit goofy, but seriously, Arrow has done this several times over the course of the show.
Is anyone not enjoying Josh Segarra's performance this season? He continues to prove himself as one of the best villains this show has had. I love the calm intensity he brings. It's as close to the next Slade Wilson as we may ever get. So Oliver spent the majority of the episode under Prometheus' control, in a cell, tortured, and beaten to near death. We've seen the season's big bad break Oliver emotionally and physically before, but there's something to be said about Adrian Chase/Prometheus' different approach. Maybe it doesn't feel as personal as when Slade Wilson took over in season 2, but Chase is far more manipulative and maybe even more effective.
As far as the flashbacks go, they continue to just be minutes filling up the runtime of the episode. It's not that they are poorly acted, directed, or written, it's just that they aren't interesting. I can't say I've ever had my eyes glued to the screen when it flashes back to Oliver's time in Russia. However, Oliver made some progress tonight, killing Kovar, becoming an official Bratva captain, and seemingly moving on from Russia altogether. That is, until none other than Malcom Merlyn helped bring Kovar "back to life". Sure, I'd like to see Dolph Lundgren come back for a few more episodes of mumbling words and smiling like a pure lunatic, his death felt necessary tonight. But I guess they have something else planned for the flashbacks. Hopefully he goes back to the island sooner rather than later. Even seeing Oliver suit up isn't enough to save the flashbacks.
It was an eventful episode. We saw the return of Malcom, Kovar, and Artemis. Which by the way just made me hate her character even more (though it was clever on Chase's part). But more importantly, this was the episode where Oliver broke. We've seen him "retire" before, but it felt different this time. I hardly believe he'll hang up the cape and hood at the end of the season for good, but Oliver certainly is learning a new lesson this time around. I said this last season but could he go back to being a loner vigilante by season's end (which would mirror the flashbacks)? Either way, I've never been more excited but also perplexed as to the direction for the rest of the season.
