YMMV / Arrow S 5 E 17 Kapiushon

• Broken Base: This is either the best episode in the history of the show, or the worst. There is very little middle ground.
• Moral Event Horizon:
  • Evelyn crosses it when she becomes a willing accomplice to Prometheus' plan to break Oliver by faking her death; Jerkass doesn't even begin to describe her.
  • To Anatoly, Oliver torturing a mook to death even though he told him what he wanted to know sure puts him right on the line. When even a mob captain is shocked by your brutality and says you're becoming a monster, it's official: you're going off the deep end.
  • Kovar crosses this when he intends to use sarin gas to murder thousands of people, all so he can overthrow the Russian government.
• Narm: Kovar fails to recognize Oliver until his hood falls down (see Failed a Spot Check on the main recap page).
• Narm Charm: A rare care of deliberate Narm, as Adrian snapping Evelyn's neck at first comes off as obviously fake...and then it turns out it actually was.
