They packed a lot of sh*t in this trailer. I'm gonna have to
watch it another 2-3 times to see what I missed. Love the shot
of Constantine. It's really cool that Arrow will be getting a
character from the ill-fated NBC show of the same name that was
cancelled a few months ago. It will be interesting to see just
how much they can and will do with the character in Arrow. Not
sure what to think of Diggle's costume though. The helmet looks
way too much like Magneto's.

The most jarring thing about this episode was seeing Oliver and
[b]Felicity[/b] living a quiet, domesticated life in the
suburbs. This made everything feel wrong in so many ways. Yes, I
knew that eventually they would be pulled back into their own
lives, but it still felt very weird to see this side of them in
that kind of environment. The best thing about this episode was
seeing Neal McDonough as Damien Darhk who will be the main
villain this season. He brings his A-Game in everything he does.
He's gonna crush it this year. The most shocking revelation in
this episode was the twist at the end revealing that Quentin
Lance is "working" with Darhk. My guess is that Darhk knows that
[b]Laurel[/b] is Black Canary and is only working with him to
conceal her identity from the world. I love the idea of Oliver
returning to the Island for this seasons flashback sequences.
Very curious to see what we get here.

Anyone that has been following the Arrow/Flash/Legends of
Tomorrow Universe has been patiently waiting to find out just
how the original Black Canary would be led to the Lazarus Pit
and brought back to life. Fast-forward to the end of the episode
and we see that Laurel's main objective in "fixing" Thea will
also include dragging Sara's body across the globe and dropping
her into the Pit. I always knew this was going to happen, hell,
even the trailer shows her coming out of the Pit. I just never
thought it would be Laurel that was the catalyst to do it. I was
very curious to see what Sara looked like when they cracked open
her coffin. I half expected them to show that she hadn't
decomposed for some reason. Well, she has and it was disturbing
to see. I wonder if being gone for so long will have a more
profound impact on her psyche in the same way that Thea's is
dealing with at the moment. Very much looking forward to the
next episode.

Before I jump into Episode 4, I gotta mention that Episode 3
with the rebirth of Sara in the Lazarus Pit was pretty much what
I expected it to be. What I did like is that the Pit is now
destroyed which is what the show needs because if a character
dies on the show, we were always going to have a cheat to save
them later. With the Pit destroyed, now the intensity for the
characters is ramped up. You f*ck up....you're done! As for
[b]Episode 4[/b], this was a very disappointing one. Awful
acting, editing and whoever wrote the dialogue should be shot.
Horrendously bad which isn't something I would have seen coming
from a series that has been spot on for it's run thus far. I
give Episode 3 4 Stars but Episode 4 gets 2 Stars. The only
thing that was actually good was the reveal of Arrow's new base
of operations. The new lair is high tech, sleek and very cool
looking and one that is befitting a superhero like Arrow.

This is the episode I was waiting for. When news broke that John
Constantine would be popping up on an episode of Arrow, I was
very intrigued, especially since Matt Ryan played the character
on the ill-fated series on NBC. I'm trying to remember of a
character ever moving over to another network so soon after
cancellation. Anyway, was curious how his character would be
used. I should have known that he would be the catalyst to
saving Sara and giving her back her soul. It was good, but I
gotta say having him arriving on the most mysterious Island of
all time did feel a little to convenient. Solid episode none the
less.

Very fun episode for a couple of reason. First off was seeing
Sara back in her Black Canary costume, but it was kind odd, yet
very cool in that both Laurel and Sara were fighting side by
side in two different Costumes. Very curious how and when Sara
will become the White Canary. The other cool thing was the
return of Ray Palmer and we got to see him in his miniaturize
form. I missed the humor he brought to the show. Glad to see
that back as well.

[center]Arrow: Stephen Amell Addresses Fan ‘Nastiness’ Towards
Show
HTML http://screenrant.com/arrow-stephen-amell-season-4-fan-response/
I stopped doing reviews for episodes this season because the
story was getting weaker and weaker as it progressed. I get and
understand where Amell is coming from, but the fact of the
matter is that Season 4 was bad in comparison. The first 2
seasons were great, the 3rd season was just 'okay', but this
season was and is the worst thus far and the way things are
moving forward, I really don't see them reversing course. Will I
tune in for Season 5? Yeah, that's a no-brainer given the fact
that what happens in this series reverberates through the other
shows including Flash, Legends of Tomorrow and we can now add
Supergirl to the mix since the move to the CW. I'm holding out
hope that they can get Arrow back on track, but looking at how
the series has been dipping the last 2 seasons doesn't inspire
confidence. The first priority is to nix the flashback stuff. We
don't need anymore background info on how Oliver became the
Arrow. We know it already. Furthermore, the flashbacks this
season was a waste of time because it was more about Dhark's
"powers" instead of Oliver's story.
FYI, did not like the Season Finale.

Episode 23

I'm posting my Season 5 Finale review in this thread. If you've
read my previous post (look above), you will understand why
there is no Season 5 thread for Arrow. Okay, with that out of
the way, I will just say that overall, I found Season 5 to be
better than Season 4. It wasn't hard. But it's still nowhere
near as good as Season 1-2. Overall, I found Chase/The Throwing
Star Killer to be a far more interesting villain for Oliver to
contend with. Certainly a step up from Damian Darhk. With Chase,
he has the skills to go toe to toe with Oliver physically and
hold his own. But it's the physiological advantage he possess
that makes him a far more interesting foe. Trying to break
Oliver mentally was just fun to watch. Simply put, this season
was a Chess match.
Now for the Season 5 Finale. Not only is this the best episode
of this season, I think it's the best episode for the entire
series. It's THAT f*cking good. For starters, we get the return
of Slade Wilson / Deathstroke who made the first two season as
good as it was. Seeing him back in his iconic costume made me
giddy. Not to be outdone, we also see the return of Black Siren,
Malcolm Merlyn, Nyssa al Ghul, Digger Harkness, and Moira Queen,
who served up a very touching moment hearing Oliver was alive
after 5 years. There was so much going on the entire episode and
even the flashback sequence with Oliver going head on against
Ivan Drago....I mean Konstantin Kovar (haha) was just as fun to
watch as the current day story line. The ending was fantastic by
blowing up the entire Island with all of Oliver's friends left
in peril. A great Cliffhanger that all but guarantees every fan
comes back to see what their fates are.
