Oliver's Deal With The Monitor-  During the three-way crossover between Arrow, Flash, and Supergirl, Oliver made a deal with the Monitor to spare Barry and Kara's life in exchange for something. According to the Monitor, one change required another, so what did Oliver suggest that the Monitor change? I originally suspected that it might be for Samandra Watson to be unable to prove that Oliver is the Green Arrow or that the Monitor brings Laurel back, but Oliver asked for something good to happen and in return, something bad had to happen to keep a balance. What was it? Did Oliver ask to be sacrificed instead of Barry in the Crisis event next year? Or will we find this out next year? Perhaps, Oliver can vanish during the crisis and be time traveling like Batman while Emiko Queen takes up his mantle or Oliver ends up dead. Stephen Amell and Michael Rosenbaum believed that Oliver should die and leave behind a legacy.

The Main Villain-Who will the main villain be? Is it gonna be the terrorist group that John and Lyla are hunting with help from Diaz or will it be the Star City Slayer? Perhaps Dover will come to Star City and start hunting down young boys and girls, savagely murdering them and using their blood to bait The Beast With No Name, which is a figment of Dover's imagination. What if the group being hunted down is The Ninth Circle, an international criminal organization and bank. The board of directors are corrupt executives from varying, multinational corporations, who wear masks to conceal their identity. The lower members are forced to join: they're either kidnapped by the organization itself, or they enlist the Underground Men. The captives are then given a "rebirth" in lava, burning their skin and somehow brainwashing them into mindless servants. To symbolize their membership, coins of nine circles are inserted in their eyes. Perhaps Emiko was targeting members of the Ninth Circle and in the comics, Moira was a part of that group.

Robert Queen- I think that Shado might be Emiko's mother and that Robert cheated on Moira with her in the past. Oliver, Thea, and Moira were kept in the dark about this while Robert paid child support for Emiko and visited her from time to time until his death. Perhaps Robert Queen could still be alive and he had disguised himself as one of Oliver's torturers on the island, Robert manipulated Oliver's time there, culminating in Oliver's transformation into the warrior he is today and the hero known as Green Arrow. Disgusted at this revelation, and taking the arrow relic with him, Oliver leaves Emiko and his father behind, stranded on the island, before returning to America to take down the Outsiders. Shado and Robert followed Oliver to Prague, and Emiko turned against Komodo after learning the truth of her parentage. Robert was killed by Komodo in an attempt to save his daughter, and Komodo was later killed himself by Emiko. Perhaps the Outsiders' War might be introduced this season. When Dr. Parker was torturing Ollie in Slabside, he said his father started the cycle. Perhaps this is foreshadowing how Robert is still alive.

Pollard- I'm not gonna lie when I say this, but I used to not mind Pollard, but now I hate her. She tried to have Oliver arrested even though he didn't break the law (Captain Drake deputized Oliver). Unlike Oliver and Quentin, Pollard doesn't care about Star City. Like President Baker, Pollard cares about her polls. I prefer Agent Watson over Mayor Pollard any day. I hope Pollard gets impeached and that the Anti-Vigilante act gets revoked soon. I like to see Agent Watson come back and trespass City Hall to interrogate Pollard about something and arrogantly tell her that she doesn't give a damn. I have a feeling Pollard is going to try to get Oliver sent back to prison and I hope she fails. Perhaps the SCPD will want to do things off the book and Oliver will do that causing Pollard to blame him even though it could have been done by the other archer. Pollard then fires Oliver because of this and this gets her impeached (which I hope happens). I like to see Pollard go through the same shit Oliver went through as mayor.

In my opinion, they should adopt the Outsider's War for season 7, make Pollard and the Ninth Circle secondary antagonists, and have Dover appear at the end as the main villain for season 8. What does everyone else think?
