Much like AOS last week,I missed the first 5 minutes here,and I never do a review without seeing the whole thing!So here we are,better late than never.
I generally liked this one.It was a bit of a rise compared to recent episodes.
It was fun seeing Nyssa as "normal" for a change.
I could feel the fanboy rage as Oliver owned Nyssa in battle- yet AGAIN!
That's what- 3 out of 4 falls now? Face it,Ollie has her number.
t:
I think Digg came across somewhat out of character. I mean,I get his wife was in danger,but he's typically portrayed as the "wisest" person in the room at any given time.
So Ollie & Nyssa.
I love it. I was hoping that's where we were going.
t:
Don't put the fries down,Laurel. Gawd,her legs are like twigs!
Laurel & Nyssa scenes were good. I could easily see them in a BOP series.
I see the Canary Cry isn't getting rave reviews. Frankly,it's kind of a corny concept to begin with. That's why I wouldn't really care if they included it or not.
I loved "Evil Ollie". Amell looked like he was doing his best Nable impersonation.
Flashbacks were OK. Looks like the Omega thing it going to tie into the present. I can kinda understand it. I mean,you want the stakes to be high for the season-ender.
Speedy!!!!!! It seemed pretty awkward that they didn't tell Thea about Roy until an afterthought. Felicity's like "Oh yeah,Roy? Not dead as it turns out."
It seems like this "Darth Ollie" storyline would've been fun to experience earlier in the season. We already got the "World without Arrow" storyline a few short months ago. They probably should've picked one or the other instead of having both in the same season.
With all the Felicity-shipping this season,the smart money is on Felicity snapping Ollie out of his Al Ghul funk. But I hope it's Diggle.
Diggle: "Ollie,I love you."
Ollie: *Evil grin*
Diggle takes a torch,jams it in Ollies backside.
Diggle "Wake up,Ollie! You're my best friend! Wake up!"
Masau puts a sword to Dig's throat.
Ollie: "Wait! He's mine!"
Ollie: *winks* "I'm alright,Dig."
t:
In all seriousness,it would be refreshing to see Digg or at least Thea be the one.
Anyway,things look to be shaping up for a fun finale.
