I greatly enjoy David Nykl as Anatoli. It's fun and different from when he was a bit of a goofy bumbler on Stargate.
Agreed. Anatoli is a lot of fun.
Arrow is back after 2 years of **** it's back so happy ..
I'm looking for a holy **** reveal no one expected it
This has indeed been a terrific start for Arrow; really enjoying it so far. Both his Arrow and Oliver storylines are compelling, and the flashbacks are intriguing once again.
As for the reveal, I've really been intrigued by a couple of theories I've read...
Potential spoilers;
[spoil]The first one, which would break my heart the most, would be Anatoli. It would provide an interesting link between the flashbacks and the present, but I think it would also be a little too on the nose as far as comparing it with the early flashbacks with Slade Wilson, where they started as friends and became bitter enemies.
The second - and my favorite - is Roy Harper. The biggest thing in favour of this is that he could have perhaps been altered by Flashpoint, which would be devastating enough. But heck, even being jaded about taking the fall for the Hood/Arrow, and perhaps seeing that Oliver has had to/been forced to kill again would be enough to tilt Roy's emotions into overdrive. He has the skill and proficiency with a bow to be a difficult opponent. The downfall to this is that it's tough to attribute the foresight and cunning that Prometheus possesses to Roy, who always seemed to be a bit of a hot head.[/spoil]
