ARROW: Diggle Works With The Enemy In The New Promo For Season 7, Episode 14: "Brothers & Sisters"

How is this season so far? Unfortunately, I've started watching the Arrowverse shows once they come out on Netflix rather than weekly.

Wow that was quite the eventful episode indeed. A lot of stuff to break down, a lot of impacts on the show. This episode had a lot and it packed some punches.

This was a great episode for Oliver and Stephen Amell. A lot of range tonight for Stephen, some good performances especially with his son. Another episode that just goes to show how mature of a character Oliver is, who will do what's best for others even if its to his detriment. At the end of the day, he and Felicity just were trying to be the best parents they could for William, and I thought that they handled William these last two episodes and did their parenting pretty well, all things considered.

Stanly was really good, the actor did a good job portraying an out of control, psychotic character, more so than when he was in Slabside. From protecting Oliver and eliminating those in the way, to trying to convince Oliver to see him as his friend, to unleashing his fury at Oliver, it was all done well. And the horror elements surrounding Stanly, especially inside the old house, were handled very well (in comparison to that Rag Doll Flash episode, the horror tonight was much, much better). Also liked the Arkham Asylum name drop.

A pretty big shock to see Curtis depart the show, especially considering there weren't any big signs both on the show or behind the scenes indicating he would leave, at least not to me (whereas with Thea we knew well ahead of time she was departing, for example). I haven't always liked Curtis, but usually he is really fun and his absence will be felt.

And finally, the future. First, that fight scene in the old Arrow bunker was great, very well done. And we got a Roy flip!!! Was very happy to see that. Loved the "I recognize you, you're Connor Hawke, John Diggle's son." Nice to firmly establish that on Arrow (even though we all knew he was, per Legends). Also, I had a feeling after the last episode that Mia was Felicity's daughter, and by the time we found out that Felicity was pregnant and that Mia was a Smoak, all the signs were there indicating the 'twist' so no big surprise. Cool, not sure what any complaining is about that, but nice to get a Mia on the show. And unsurprisingly, Felicity isn't dead in the future either; never thought she was.

All in all, a very eventful, good episode tonight.
