Discussion: Arrow’s “Sins of the Father” and Legends’ “White Knights”

Due to laziness, illness, and a general lack of discussion on these shows, I’m posting them together this week.

Discuss away! Post a review! Link to your Youtube impersonation of a DC hero!

  1. That was a heck of a twist last night on Arrow. I gotta hand it to them, I did not see that coming. This is definitely one of the best of the season.

    Also, am I the only one who thinks [spoiler]Nyssa is going to show up at Oliver and Felicity’s wedding to object[/spoiler]?

    • Am I the only one who thinks [spoiler]Felicity won’t make it out of the wedding alive[/spoiler]?

      • That is certainly one way to object…

        [spoiler]I don’t think they’ll ever kill her. She is too much of an audience surrogate/Mary Sue, sure some people would cheer but many more would be extremely upset.[/spoiler]

        That said, my current prediction is, aside from my spoiler in the previous message: [spoiler]Felicity will find out about Oliver’s son in probably the worst possible way and she’ll get mad and the wedding won’t finish (or even happen yet).[/spoiler]

        Hoping they surprise me and not have it turn out that way, but that appears to be what they’re setting up.

  2. I still think it’s stupid to bring villains on your save-the-world mission, but Snart totally MVPed this episode.

    I mean other than that the entire episode was one big plot-hole, but…

    • Capt. Cold is more of a reluctant anti-hero, his brother is more of a straightforward villain though as time goes on they’re both coming around. They do seem to help out a lot more on the infiltration and theft angles of the missions, though.

      I am *really* disappointed that they didn’t make more references to the Actor’s pasts in this episode. Missed opportunities in the episode:
      * Alias references to Jack Bristow (Garber) already knowing Russian, having spy experience, knowing how to handle Russian women, etc.
      * Chuck references to Daniel Shaw (Routh) being a spy or at least looking like one. He did say he always wanted to be a spy, but c’mon, that’s weak. They could have also used Volkoff for the villains last name, etc.
      * References to Michael Scofield (Miller) and Lincoln Burrows (Purcell) knowing all about how to effect a Prison Break from a Gulag…
