Team GATV Midseason Roundtable: Arrow Season 5 So Far

Take a guess: Who is Prometheus?

CRAIG: I plead the fifth.

STEPHANIE: Given how the flashback storylines seem to always conveniently line up with the present day villains, my bet is on one of the Bratva bros who got a look at Oliver’s hit list back in Russia. There’s a part of me that hopes it’s Dolf Lundgren’s character instead. He’d certainly fit with the previous terrifying season-long villains, but if Prometheus is truly Justin Claybourne’s son, then he’s not the right age. Going in a completely different direction, Prometheus could be someone super unexpected, like Malcolm Merlyn, who got bored and decided to revive his Dark Archer side. What has he even been up to this season?

MELISSA: I’m still wildly guessing, but I’m currently leaning toward Frank Pike, Quentin’s former boss, with perhaps the added twist of him being someone else’s puppet and I’d cast Talia as the puppet master. Think she might be upset Oliver killed her father? As long as there is more to him than just being the son of a season one character we only just met, I’ll be good.

MATT: Let’s go weird: I know Janina Gavankar is a new lead on Sleepy Hollow this season, but it would be wild to see that Prometheus is actually a woman … and it’s McKenna Hall! In any case, I hope it’s a legit Season 1 callback and not just someone they retcon into the story.
