A new BC just sounds too much like that destiny theme they're spouting over on Flash (Barry & Iris are always destined to end up together regardless of timeline/universe, blah, blah, blah). So it's like, if the EPs are really catering to the comics crowd, Oliver is always destined to end up with someone called BC regardless of who she is or how many women named BC he has to sleep with.

Interesting perspective on the team concept... Arrow 5.2 Review – “The Recruits” October 13, 2016 | Posted by Michael Haigis http://411mania.com/movies/arrow-5-2-review-the-recruits/

Arrow Season 5 Episode 2 Review: “The Recruits” Chris King+ October 12, 2016 http://www.tvovermind.com/the-cw/arrow/arrow-season-5-episode-2-review-the-recruits

Laurel and Oliver were exes and Laurel became part of Team Arrow, interacting with Oliver just about every day and supposedly becoming friends with Felicity. At one point, the Arrow Bunker was filled with three women that Oliver had slept with - Felicity, Laurel and Samantha. Sara is also an ex and is friends with both Oliver and Felicity. The two sisters, Sara and Laurel, both slept with Oliver off and on, and ended up reconciling with each other and with Oliver, and even fighting alongside him. This show will do whatever will serve their plot purposes.

Here is an excerpt from a fan's tumblr post regarding Felicity's new boyfriend. I don't know if this info is 100% reliable, so I'm just posting it here for discussion (I'm not saying it's not legit, just that I don't know)... (source)

When MG was asked how much Oliver's vow to Laurel to find a new Black Canary was going to be weighing on his mind this season, MG specifically used the words "new Black Canary" in his answer: MG: "Forefront in his mind is this notion of recruiting this new team, and as the season progresses, eventually it will turn Oliver’s attention towards the specificity of that promise of a new Black Canary, and we’ll have to see what happens."

I really like this new EW reviewer (and bonus point for the Firefly reference)... Arrow recap: 'The Recruits' BY SARA NETZLEY Posted October 13 2016 http://www.ew.com/recap/arrow-season-5-episode-2?xid=entertainment-weekly_socialflow_twitter

I want to concur with the other comments about Ragman. Of the new recruits, he was the most memorable. I'm impressed by the actor (Joe Dinicol).

Sounds like Lethal Weapon is contributing to the demo drop.

Per MG, Kovar will debut in 506 and his dailies were apparently so good that he will now appear in more than the originally planned three episodes.
