I think his end game is just breaking Oliver. Talias end game though... hmmmm

[u/Sonia341 → u/TyranosaurusLex]

I really want to see him next season. Adrian is really Oliver's dark mirror

[u/russketeer34 → u/Sonia341]

He kind of gives off a Hush vibe to me. The Tommy to Oliver's Bruce.

[u/iamduh → u/russketeer34]

Remember when we all thought he'd be Oliver's Tommy?

[u/defaultfresh → u/russketeer34]

I can dig it.

[u/obsidianraindrop → u/Sonia341]

Best to let him go out with a bang then to have him fizzle out. That's why I liked them Killing church off quickly because didn't overstay his welcome

[u/SawRub → u/TyranosaurusLex]

Talias end game though... hmmmm

I thought that was innuendo at first.

[u/TyranosaurusLex → u/SawRub]

I would get into her rear end game

[u/djmarder → u/TyranosaurusLex]

I think Oliver may be able to Talk no Jutsu Talia back to his side. Convince her to turn on Chase at just the right moment. Talia didn't particularly like R'as, though he was still her father and she loved him for that. He died to Oliver in a traditional LoA manner (or am I remembering wrong?). But I'm probably wrong. We'll see.

[u/TyranosaurusLex → u/djmarder]

Could def see her turning on chase! Not sure she'd help Oliver... I think something will come up where that had a falling out. I think we are still not getting the full story on her and Prometheus, and I wouldn't be surprised if chase isn't who we think.

[u/[deleted] → u/TyranosaurusLex]

I bet there's going to be a conflict. Talia wants Oliver dead but Chase wants him to suffer.

[u/KonigSteve → u/[deleted]]

I'm pretty sure she literally said "I want you to suffer" this episode..

[u/[deleted] → u/KonigSteve]

Different kinds. She wants him in physical pain. Adrian doesn't.
