Hello everyone and welcome to another addition of Arrowverse catchup, this time looking at Arrow season 7 episode 6, Due Process. After appearing at the end of the previous episode, former Bratva leader Anatoly was the MVP of this outing. He was still as charming as ever while also being visibly tired and beaten down by all that has happened to him over the years. He got to continue his redemption arc (hopefully) bringing him to a happy ending. The man just wants to retire in the sun and that’s what I want for him too. How Diaz and his longbow hunters managed to decimate the Bratva was left unclear but it was something I was willing to accept considering how dangerous they are trying to put Diaz and his group over as. I just feel that the longbow hunters could do with some more character development but you can’t deny their skill sets.

Oliver continued to remain in prison despite Black Siren’s best efforts and I felt bad for her as she continued to question her future path. I don’t want to see her resort back to villainy but I do believe that it will happen at some point this season. I guess that it is just accepted now that she has taken the Earth 1 Laurel’s identity…was her mum played by Doctor Who’s Alex Kingston ever informed of this?

The prison arc took a turn I did not like though regarding Oliver’s one and only friend Stanley. I wanted him to stay nice and good so bad! It was obvious from the ending that he did stab that guard and framed Bronze Tiger for it. That just left me sad. I had this same problem with Prison Break, you start liking these characters and they make you forget that they are all in prison for a reason and quite often these reasons are pretty bad ones. He better not try and attack Oliver though. Just give me that much!

Will it happen? Will Oliver break him out of prison only to later regret it? I guess I’ll just have to keep watching to find out.
