ARROW Season 4, Episode 9 Description; "Dark Waters" - 'Damien Darhk' Strikes

@Nomis

Im thinking that power Darhk uses drains life force but when he used it on Thea her Life Force was tainted by the Pit causing a reverse effect. #LifeForceSpeculationTheory #TheForceIsEverywhere

@BlackStar25 unless it was brought up mid- to end- of season 3, no, it was never mentioned. I've yet to finish the third season. Should I take the plunge? Cuz i was pissed when he didn't come back because of the pit and instead came back because of "sheer will and magic asian herbs"

@GoogleWasMyIdea

It wasn't mentioned in Season 3 for sure. Should you continue Season 3? Hmmmm....I don't know. To me personally that season plunged after that mid-season Ra's Vs. Oliver Fight. Its a decision you'll have to make bruv.

@BlackStar25

I believe it was in Season 1 when he and Carly started to get close.

@BlackStar25

His son and ex appears on season 1, she was a waitress on big belly burger

This episode had some of the best fight sequences in this show's history! Damn!

@MercSoul @KobraKai

OHHHHH! There it is. Huh. How could I have forgotten that.

Finally a name for Oliver's island lady. Hopefully we will get a trailer for Legends of Tomorrow after Arrow's ninth episode airs and the show goes on hiatus.

Tonight's entire episode was directed by the show's stunt/fight choreographer. When I saw his name at the beginning, I knew to get excited for awesome fight scenes, and the man delivered :)

I'm hoping Malcolm's quip about the wise old "sage" in the mountains is true. Vic Sage might know the cure to Thea's bloodlust.

Always love me some long shot fight scenes,

I really liked Atom's fighting style this episode as well.

I was wondering how the hell they were gonna stop Darkh, but I guess Thea will be the Achilles heel

Thea must be the one in the grave in 6 months.

@tugboy
I think it's going to be Captain Lance in the grave.

@tugboy
You're right. Barry wouldn't go to Quinton's funeral. It has to be Felicity. She has to be bumped off anyway to make room for the Ollie/Laurel love affair. We're all dreading it, but it's just necessary to the mythology.

So here's my theory, it may be a stretch but I really want this to happen because I LOVE Felicity and I want her to have an brilliant arc:

What if the rumor that Felicity is Darkh's daughter is true? Darkh finds this out, he also finds out that Ollie is Green Arrow and dating his daughter...So...he uses Felicity as a means to get back at Green Arrow by killing the love of his life and breaking him... BUT Felicity isn't really dead, Darhk used his mystical powers to disguise a corps as Felicity and he drugs Felicity and mind-controls her like he does with the Ghosts...Damian Darkh probably gets defeated but...in a later Season, we find out that HIVE is back and Felicity is their Queen Bee (the earth version obviously), she's crossed the dark-side Andy style and now uses her tech skills (instead of mysticism) to control the Ghosts.



This opens up the Laurel/Ollie story arc. Felicity not being there makes way for Holt to step up as the new tech-genius member of team arrow. He also has some field skills he can use to go full-on super hero. Ray Palmer joins the team full time because Felicity's death motivates him to be more active a superhero.

Just a thought. @jollem?
