It came back just in time for the end of the preview, irritatingly.

I wish the season finale was one giant 4 hour episode instead of this four 1 hour episode bullshit. I want more right now, damnit.

King of Solomon posted:That episode ending was really abrupt. It's like the scene didn't actually end. muscles like this? posted:I was kind of hoping the previews with Oliver saying he was the Arrow was him telling Thea.  Speaking of which, is this the first time more than one main (or main-ish since I'm sure Sebastian will be dead by the finale) character finds out Ollie's secret? I know Slade told Laurel a few episodes ago and she realized that the timing between Ollie's return and The Arrow starting to gently caress poo poo up wasn't just a strange coincidence, but she finally got it confirmed in this episode.

The swearing in/funeral montage was pretty great. As was Felicity's interrogation. "Greenpeace?" "Great cause!" So much affable evil in this episode, with our villains smiling as they twist the knife. Including that tense as all hell chitchat between Ollie and Blood. (I am curious about Ollie's background with Masked Blood though - what interactions did they have early on this season for Ollie to have put that together?) A lot of genuinely emotional scenes for Ollie with Thea and Laurel (even a great bit about Tommy), but I thought Katie Cassidy was a real weak link there. When she gave him the speech about not giving up, I'm not sure it was the material that was the problem. But he felt very real there and she didn't. Terrific build up to the poo poo hitting the fan, all the little scenes with Thea at the train station and that dude being brought into the police station. (It reminded me of the tension in The Dark Knight a little bit - a rarely emulated part of that movie.) NOOOO! Not funny IT cop! Why does every other named character in the police have to die?! Summary: great episode and WHY ISN'T IT NEXT WEDNESDAY YET?! VagueRant fucked around with this message at 06:54 on May 1, 2014 |

Burying himself and Laurel alive is a totally acceptable  alternative, though.Guess they're saving Flash showing up until closer to the finale?

Didn't they swear up and down that Barry would only wake up from the coma when the flash series starts? That said, I totally have money on "Flash saves someone from certain death" for the finale. I really liked the decision to strip the show back to basics for an episode. This really allowed us to check out the headspace with most of the original cast, and particularly the three founding members of Team Arrow. The show ends with FIVE characters in immediate danger (Blackthorne, Thea, Oliver and Laurel, and Diggle), and yet the show has a whole ream of promised characters still to twist the narrative. Roy, Sarah and The League, the star labs plot, and friggin Barrowman could all completely upend whatever plans we think the show has. My money is on the show resolving most of the anticipated plots next week; we'll say goodbye to Isabel and Sebastian almost certainly. But I honestly have no earthly idea what the second half of the finale will look like.

Promo talk: I'm calling loving bullshit on Laurel using Oliver's bow. Oliver had to slap water for days before he could draw Yao Fei's bow and she's able to draw his compound bow with no prior training? What the actual gently caress?

Laurel isn't my favourite character - she could take a big dose of mirakuru for all I care. Great episode that really set the tone and pace of the last two episodes. I'm looking forward to the next two.

People in this thread keep talking about time travel stuff with regards to Flash, so he could both wake up in the pilot and be here for the finale.

I really hope they keep Barry completely out of the last two episodes, as much as I liked his introduction and am looking forward to the Flash show. I think it would feel kinda cheap if he just woke up and in a matter of hours got a handle on being able to travel at a ludicrous speed, or whatever his specific power is going to be. I imagine they're going to want to do something more substantial with him actually becoming Flash, and not just have him be a magic teleporting wizard from Day 1. I think they already have plenty of things to deal with (in terms of squeezing it all into two episodes) considering that Sara is obviously going to come back with the league of assassins and more importantly Katrina Law  , Barrowman is obviously going to show up, Roy is obviously going to wake up, and Thea will probably somehow get dragged back in. Plus they still have the island flashbacks that they have to wrap up, which I imagine are going to take a considerable chunk of an episode since we're getting to the point where Ollie "kills" Slade (and thinks Sara dies, for that matter).Man typing that out made me even more excited for the final two episodes.

So Laurel figured it out and Thea knows slade was on the island too, but nobody bothered to ask what happened or what the deal with Sara was?

Solid episode overall, but I thought it was stupid that Ollie thought giving himself up to Slade would just immediately end things, I can't believe Diggle even had to explain to him that's not how it was going to work. Slade has said multiple times that he won't allow Ollie to die until he's suffered enough, so all surrendering to him would accomplish is taking Arrow out of the game and making it easier for Slade to go after his loved ones. Every single character in the episode seemed to get that except Oliver.

Mike Danger posted:Guessing this means Walter is going to be the new CEO through some kind of crazy manipulation I wouldn't really see it as a crazy manipulation. He controls 5% of the shares (through managing a fund, but still) and has a lot of prior knowledge and experience with the company. If my last two CEOs were a drunken fratboy and an axe-murdering psychopath (assuming Rochev gets caught/dies) that's exactly who I'd want to bring in as new CEO.

Laurel's little motivational speech was worse than Sara's darkness speech I really hope they don't try to make her an active part of Team Arrow, she has nothing to offer a working superhero team, unless they need someone who can wear the hell out of a pantsuit.

Maybe something that covered her whole face. They tried really hard for the Rose Wilson Ravager look, but Wilson's face is drawn wider, so the half mask works better. She should have had a helmet similar to Slade, I think. Rarity posted:I'm trying to watch the rest of this season finale but the show's just cut out.

Maybe, MAYBE Patrick Stewart could have saved those lines. Those were terrible lines.
