In a nod to Arrow’s near decade-spanning history, a number of the show’s supporting characters were brought back as talking heads for the documentary “Emerald Archer: The Hood and the Rise of Vigilantism.” And the anniversary special featured one of the season’s best action sequences. While the episode’s halfhearted commitment to the gimmick made it seem unnecessary, “Emerald Archer” was really enjoyable.Ī number of the show’s old stars popped by, a new villain was introduced, and Team Arrow reunited, the future timeline got some much-needed explanation, the show’s status quo was changed in a major way. I won’t accept that she’s dead.By Mario McKellop 4 years ago The 150th episode of Arrow took a deep dive into the show’s history while also advancing Season 7’s main storyline in several intriguing ways.Įschewing its normal format, this week’s installment of Arrow – the 150th episode of the series – was inconsistently presented in form of a documentary about Oliver (Stephen Amell) that was narrated by Kesley Grammer. The worst thing we found out in the flash forward was that Felicity is dead. Zoe, it makes sense but at where we see Dinah now, it’s crazy to think that she went back to being a vigilante. It’s interesting to see that Dinah (Juliana Harkavy) is a vigilante again and Rene’s daughter, Zoe (Eliza Faria), is too. Worn down and no one left except vigilantes to clean it up. It seems a little like the state Gotham is in. Unfortunately, when we see Star City and Felicity’s company in the future, it’s all a mess. Clearly, our Felicity has that in her too, which any of us could have told you that, but it comes true. In this week’s flash forward we see that Felicity owns her own tech company and Laurel says the Felicity on her earth owned an empire. I’m loving this team up and it’s shadowing somethings for the future, not before we saw the future for ourselves. I guess an evil Laurel was exactly what she needed to get this mission done. Laurel doesn’t want her to cross the line until it matters at least, and I liked that she’s keeping Felicity in check and actually making Felicity more productive. First with Rene (Rick Gonzalez), and then with Laurel (Katie Cassidy), which was who I thought she should team up with in the first place. The thing I like the most about this path is the allies she’s gaining along the way. I’m not saying I don’t want to see her go down this path, because I’m enjoying it but that doesn’t mean I can’t worry about it too. She’s pushing the limits to protect her family, which I get. The other character I’m most worried about is Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards). When the doctor was done with him, for this episode, Oliver no longer said his name, just his inmate number. Oliver doesn’t need to be reformed and I don’t know what this doctor’s endgame is, but I’m not happy, and I’m a little scared. I kept shaking my head but I think that’s because I didn’t understand what was going on at first. A psychiatrist tried to evaluate him but he wasn’t getting what Oliver was saying. Let’s first start with Oliver (Stephen Amell) because I think he’s in the direst state at the moment. We may not have the Green Arrow, but there’s a lot going on and a lot of characters fighting for what’s right, justice or just to survive. Even when you think something will happen, they pull you in a different direction. The writers are really pulling out all the stops on this season’s Arrow.
