To be fair he's doing another show, so it's not surprising they'd cut down his time to bare minimums to make sure the timing works out.

He even used doing another show as part of his proof that he totally wasn't doing the season finale.

Unless we see a body there's no reason to think he's actually dead. He'll just get a shiny silver boot and look guys, a prosthetic leg.

No way in hell Slade betrays him too. It has to be a trick to get them right to the head of the snake.

If not, that poor guard was just doing his job and had a VERY bad day at the office.

True. It's still an awkward, janky forced cliffhanger though when anyone with half a brain watching knows they're not going to kill off the entire supporting cast like that.

Just finished watching. Holy poo poo that finale was amazing. I loved the cliffhanger. Obviously not everyone is going to die, but it's a hell of a way to end the season. The first since season one where we go out with the bad guy getting the win for all intents and purposes.

Any episode of Arrow with a deliberate headscissors takedown callback is enough for me to really love it. Excellent season that really embraced what made the first two a lot of fun.

Yeah they nailed the landing for sure. I think that might have been my favorite season of the show. It and season two are right there close together.

Season 2 benefits from 2 seasons of build up.

Ignore my doomerism, I don't think better things are possible
Flash got lazy and Arrow was under pressure to deliver and they did. While I expect that Team Arrow will be reunited by the end of episode 1 next season, I'd like to see Oliver going solo for a while, and have the rest of the team and Slade get caught up in their own hijinks. Dedicate the Oct-Dec run to reuniting the team, and spend the second half of the season on a new big bad.

They really had an opportunity to go the Flash route of a heartfelt 10 minute conversation with the crew about how the island was behind him even though we've seen it for 5 years, but instead they opted for a fun end to a great villain and a bunch of bombs, which are always better.

Flash ended with a 10 minute heartfelt conversation? That sounds kinda weak.

Maybe closer to 5 minutes. But it was also while the speed force was causing magnitude 7 earthquakes and lightning strikes all over Central City, so thousands were dying. Barry is rude.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

oof, that was a botched choreography cue in the start of the big group fight against ninjas. Diggle knocks one down, twitches and then runs off screen. A second later another ninja runs in and "gets flipped" by nothing. Front and center of the camera too, they must have been on a really tight shooting schedule.

I want them to go full on video game with this poo poo and somehow have each member of the team scattered to a random location. Felicity's in Hong Kong, Diggle is in South America, Thea is on the moon, Dinah somehow ended up on the Waverider

also lmao Evelyn's dead. Oh well!

All the NPCs will look up and shout, "Do this quest!"
and I'll whisper, "Sure, why not."
What a great season. We got a massive improvement over the supporting cast, Oliver as mayor, and quite possibly the best villain in the DCCW universe thus far.
