Part 1: The Plot, Themes and Characters
What was the overall theme for this episode / What was the link to the ep. name It's a One Man Show i.e. very Ollie-centric Legacy tie to Green Arrow’s legacy on the city and the legacy of the team continuing on (eventually) Flashbacks to eventually show Ollie become Bratva and man on island in pilot Laurel, Laurel, Laurel Fight scenes & Stunts: Share your thoughts Anarky has nothing on Ollie this time around Strange as he held his own with Thea last season Arrow through the wrists Fight Club! Ollie is brutal, the neck breaking move gets repeated Ollie fights with a chair Neck break repeated to keep his secret. No one goes to check on the mayor after this fight? Cops rumble with Church’s goons Helicopter fight Did anyone else feel this cramped quarters fight felt very Bourne-like? Dark Archer Prometheus just owns the good guy cop Flashbacks: Share your thoughts Anatoly! Fight Club Ollie is a badass Ollie: He’s got sleeves! And the voice modulator is gone to be replaced with the Bale growl Killing again and with no regret it seems Malcolm was right all along, that Green Arrow must do what’s necessary or not be out there at all had Oliver killed Damien Darhk when he had the chance, Laurel would still be alive Only Thea calls him on this which is strange Mayor Handsome Cool new gadgets! Parachute arrow Diggle Return to the Army doesn’t seem to be all he expected. Thinks it's a good idea to rebuild the team Thea Wants to be normal and really resists wearing the Speedy gear until she has no choice. Felicity Everything seems good for her now What is her job exactly? She keeps Ollie and Thea’s loft? Curtis Ready to become a full fledged member of Team Arrow Laurel Her final words “Please don’t let me be the last Canary. That way, a part of me will always be out there with you.” Her ghost hangs over everyone - take a drink anytime someone says her name this week - at least 12 mentions Quentin Back off the wagon, A drunk needs a reason to stay sober,” Lance notes, “and I’m fresh out, my friend.” Momma Smoak is in Heaven Finds his purpose in helping Ollie? What’s the Flashpoint connection?
CURRENT EPISODE DC EASTER EGGS & POP CULTURE REFERENCES
Article: http://comicbook.com/2016/10/05/arrow-easter-eggs-and-dc-comics-references-in-legacy (comicbook.com)
Captain Pike - Is that a Star Trek reference? We really can't decide. Either way, per his nametag, that police captain talking to Thea in the opening scene appears to be "Captain Pike," the captain of the USS Enterprise immediately prior to James T. Kirk. Lonnie Machin - A recurring villain from season four of Arrow, Lonnie Machin (the first baddie Oliver fights in season five) is better known to DC Comics fans as the antihero Anarky. Wild Dog - the first new member of Team Arrow version 2.0 was introduced to the audience, in the form of Wild Dog, a hockey mask-wearing, gun-toting vigilante who was inspired by -- and then shot in the kneecap by -- Green Arrow. The character first appeared in Wild Dog #1 in 1987, making him one of the first new superheroes created following Crisis on Infinite Earths. Created by Road to Perdition writer Max Allan Collins, "his super power is guns." Konstantin Kovar - Konstantin Kovar is the father of Leonid Kovar, better known as Red Star. In the comics, Konstantin originally wasn't a villain, but a relatively benign figure: an archaeologist who unearthed a nasty bit of business that gave his son powers. But Red Star himself, a loyal communist in the Soviet era, was occasionally a problem for the other heroes before he turned his life around. Eventually, he would become a bad guy in service of the Soviet Union -- something that might make him an interesting figure going forward in case Anatoly Knyazev's comic book destiny of becoming the cybernetically-enhanced "KGBeast" is to become part of Arrow's story. Tobias Church - Church's nickname is apparently Charon, the ferryman of Hades from Greek mythology. There is a Charon in DC Comics, although he shares basically nothing in common with this version. This is something that will be repeated again in the episode: choosing a historical/mythological meaning instead of a contemporary/comics one. Vigilante - "Mr. Ski Goggles," as Felicity calls him, is actually Vigilante, a DC Comics antihero created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez. Perez provided the police sketch seen on Felicity's computer screen. Created during Marv Wolfman's time on the New Teen Titans, Vigilante in the comics is a former New York district attorney who's set on the path of justice after hsi family is killed by the mob. The CW describes him similarly: Chase is "Star City’s new district attorney and an ally of Mayor Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), who aims to clean up the streets through the legal system." Hub City and Bludhaven - According to Detective Malone, before he made his way to Star City, apparently he haunted Hub City -- the home of The Question -- and Bludhaven, the home of Nightwing. Ross Paints - Is that a little bit of free advertising for comic book artist and painter Alex Ross on the side of the truck Tobias Church and his goons are driving to their crime spree? Bertinelli - Whoever the head of the Bertinelli crime family is now that Helena has killed her father, he makes an appearance here -- only to be immediately killed by Tobias Church's men.
