![]() ![]() That level of sadness results in another flashback. This leads him to talk to Diggle, who uses it as an in to discuss his issues with Oliver, followed up with by Captain Lance ripping him a new one. ![]() Oliver gets to discuss Thea’s rage issues and she gets pissed. This is going to be the theme of the season – magic. Oliver drops the truth on his team that mystics exist. Turns out they’re going to blow up the rail station (see above about obvious targets). And a great tailor!Īrrow continues to do fight scenes really well, and we see Speedy go kinda ape on a random hench-person. Where do they find these guys? This gives us a chance to see that our big bad is more than just any bad guy, but someone with magic killy-touchy powers. Rally the troops! Like the massive amount of troops that Darhk has all ready to go. Before it can be fully resolved, we find out some of the missiles have GPS trackers. Meanwhile Felicity and Oliver are arguing about how his decision for them to both walk away was his decision, and she was still there. I guess you can’t exactly go to therapy for that. Apparently in the last six months, they have never discussed what has happened in the finale. We get to see Laurel and her dad for a bit, as they discuss all the obvious targets that the team should have thought of. “Sorry, care to try that again with the magic word?” It’s kind of cute/sad how much they clearly needed Felicity (even though they were apparently getting help from her all along), but oh man, when Oliver starts barking orders? Great moment. I ride this show pretty hard at times, but I can’t help but tip my hat at the little touches like that. As he walks into the Arrow cave (version 2), it’s notable that Amell is talking in his slightly higher “Ollie the thoughtless douche” voice that he uses in flashbacks, and that he only barely drops his voice during the Diggle confrontation. Cut back to Oliver and Felicity, driving into Star City. We get to watch Amanda give Oliver a pep talk… and slip him a mickey (note to kids: that means drug him). Nice Easter egg of the flight jacket with the name tag “Jordan” – I regret that couldn’t get a good pause. Still, love her response “What can I say? Our friends need our help, we should already be in the car.” And now, another flashback. It seems somehow Oliver has no clue what’s been happening at Star City, which is odd since they can’t be that far, and Felicity must be commuting in every day for Palmer tech. Still, things get serious enough that they go get Oliver, interrupting his proposal plans. I like this take on her, even if her dad did need to rescue to her for a second there. This is what, the fourth time this has happened? Seriously, do you have the same security guys as the cops in Gotham?Īlso, you have to wonder why Darhk even bothered warning them, but good to see Laurel as Canary in action. One would figure the cops would have better security by now. The assistant DA gets poisoned and the other two guys get sneaky attacks, but Lance? Someone attacks the precinct in a big way. Cut back to present day and it turns out Darhk is assassinating the city’s leadership. Oh and hey, did you think we’d go ten minutes into a new season without a flashback? NaThat’s it, nice and fast. I thought this was a thing that only happened with old Jewish ladies and newlyweds. Which is not as awkward as Oliver and Felicity’s brunch friends bringing up reproduction at the table. ![]() Also, they have poison capsules in their teeth in case they do get caught – but how would Lance know that if they’ve never caught one?ĭamien Darhk walks right into the big meeting (Is it wrong that I find him really likable?) and announces himself and his cause – the death of the city. Both Team Arrow and Captain Lance are after criminals they call ghosts, because they can’t get caught. Love that the city can’t find someone to run for mayor, because everyone who does ends up dead. Team Arrow does well, but the bad guys get away. Thea’s joy is contagious (or maybe I was just happy to see the truck said Kord Industries). Seriously, no human ever has done this.Ĭut away to Thea and Laurel in action in Star City – the city has renamed itself. Beyond that, the whole domestic bliss take on them is cute and feels like it’s an established dynamic. Know what’s weirder? Felicity sitting on a counter to cook. Opening with Oliver running through greenery to turn out to be Oliver jogging is cute, but Oliver jogging at all is just a weird visual. ![]()
