It's kind of weird, they actually seem to have rediscovered what made Felicity an enjoyable character.

I feel like this season might be going back to basics in all the right ways. I'm also loving the Ollie being mayor stuff. There was a lot of concern last season that it wouldn't go anywhere, but it's pretty interesting so far.

Well, thankfully we seem to have that poo poo sorted out and we have awkward cute nerd Felicity back and angsty rear end in a top hat murderhobo Ollie back.

I would guess sometime soon after getting punched repeatedly in the face by Ollie.

I think I'd start having second thoughts about being around murderhobo Ollie too if his ire turned on his own teammates and potential recruits for no discernible reasons.

fwiw prometheus is an established dc character who's like, an inverse of batman(his parents were criminals who were killed by cops at a young age)

if it's a new character it'll probably be someone from his russia adventures

It occurs to me that loving around with the husband of the director of Argus is probably not a strong career move.

Lyla is still in charge of Argus right?

Arrow is great again. Oliver is dropping bodies, Felicity isn't whining as much (there was a follow up on her nuking a place!), the new team seems to have decent chops, and I'm excited to watch again. what a world, but then again this is what I said about Season 4...

I missed when Oliver would have seemingly clever plans then a flashback would pop in and show he stole the idea.

All the NPCs will look up and shout, "Do this quest!"
and I'll whisper, "Sure, why not."
I was kinda expecting them to ring the bell at the end, only for Ollie to shoot the ones who helped but didn't actually touch the bell.

I'm hoping that with the theme of this season being to bring the show full circle that Prometheus is related to someone Oliver murdered in season 1.

That'd be a good twist on Prometheus too. I'd hop back on the Arrow train but the first half of season 4 was great and then the show fell fantastically apart
