ARROW: “Checkmate” RECAP

Oliver is just not having a good day, week and unless anything positive changes, not a great season for him personally. Warning, spoilers ahead…

While seeking answers to the Prometheus riddle, Oliver meets with Talia, who reveals herself as Ra’s’ daughter and who now has a death wish on Oliver for killing her father. To add insult to injury, she tells Oliver the identity of Prometheus… Adrian Chase. Oliver later confronts Adrian, who can now openly taunt Oliver and reveals that he has Susan Williams. If anything should happen to him, Susan will die.


Desperate to stop Adrian, the Green Arrow tries to convince Adrian’s wife Doris to stop her husband. Before he could get through to her, the ACU storms in and he was forced to escape. Felicity as part of HELIX finds Susan’s location and Team Arrow rescues her. The Green Arrow then confronts Adrian/Prometheus. Oliver has Diggle bring Doris in hopes that her seeing Adrian for what he has become, would convince him to surrender.  They embrace and then he stabs her. Doris dies before Diggle can bring her to the hospital in time. Oliver and Adrian fight and just as it looks like Oliver has gained the advantage he was struck down by Talia’s arrow. They abduct him and Adrian tells Oliver that he (Adrian) will show Oliver who he really is. What he means by that, one could only guess.

May the Dork be with you,

James aka “The Dork Knight” is a blogger and writer based out of Upstate New York. For James, it all started with a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… when he dragged his mom to see The Empire Strikes Back 10 weeks in a row. He lives and breathes nerd culture. James is proof that a Star Wars fanatic can be a passionate Trekkie as well. So much so James dressed up as Captain Kirk to the premiere of Star Trek VI in 1991 and still has the uniform. When it comes to Comic Books, Sci-Fi or Fantasy whether in print or digital, in the theatre or on my TV screen, I’m all about it and I love it. So bring your Phaser (set to stun), Lightsaber, Sonic Screwdriver, a Wand, Mjolnir or the Ring to rule them all, because this site is for the dork in all of us.
