Arrow Arrow Season 2 Episode 22 : "Streets of Fire" Rate and Review Thread

Again IF she was killed off she is under a gag order until the episode airs so she has to go on like she is still apart of the show.

Going around in circles with you on this is starting to get maddening. I'm not saying either is happening. But just because she is talking about stuff doesn't actually make it so.

I'm sure if Colin Donnell was doing interviews last year before the finale he would have acted like he hadn't been killed off. Same thing with Susanna Thompson.

But she is not getting killed..

as long as there is a Black Canary, i don't care if she's Laurel or Sara

This was an easy 10/10 awesome episode

One more person to die - it could be either Dinah Laurel, Sarah, Thea, or Felicity. One of these four will go and all of them are ones that Oliver loves.

Goddamn.... They're ramping it up.... And I actually liked what they did with Laurel. She's actually become useful BUT, I'm still not a fan of her becoming BC any time soon and I'm not entirely keen on how they're whitewashing all the rubbish they had her do for most of the season, feels like they've just flicked a switch with the character and for me, I don't like it.

It's rare that an episode end will shock me, but Thea shooting Merlyn.... Did NOT see that coming (and yes, it is possible she just shot the goon that he'd taken down already). I'm glad they aren't making it a simple 'Thea, I'm your father' 'Okay daddy, let's go.' that I was concerned they'd do, but that they've actually got Thea firmly resisting (though why she stuck around after he dropped the goon, I dunno).

Expected Blood to die TBH, but I saw him going down by Oliver's doing, not as a result of him grabbing his balls and trying to do the right thing a lifetime after he should have done.

Nice to see Pike finally getting it & giving Lance his badge back.

Felicity's speech to Oliver was a great scene. EBR delivered it brilliantly. I also noticed something strange. Both times Oliver touched her in the Watchtower ( during the hug and the hand on the shoulder) the music played a very short bit of piano. As a Castle fan, with it's different themes for different things ('Caskett' 'Beckett's Piano' & the 'Johanna theme'), i can't help but wonder if they're introducing an 'Olicity's theme'?

Cheer up Sara, it's not like you're probably going to die next week.... Oh....

Spoiler

Sarah's role this season was to bring everyone back together. She fixed Laurel's drinking issues and brought her family closer, and helped Oliver. After this season, she's going to need a new function besides being a sidekick. She's too important to be a Felicity/ Diggle/ Roy-type sidekick.

 

[vantheman77]

I hope it applies for next season.

I can see a Justice League full of non-powered heroes in Arrow.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

If they kill off Felicity I WILL LEAD A MUTINY!!!!

 

[Cap'ncook]

Superhero cameo tonight:

The driver who was killed is played by Adrian Petriw, the actor who voiced Tony Stark in "Iron Man Armored Adventures"...

 

[Hunter Rider]

Brilliant episode, the tension was ratcheted right up between Slade's monster men running rampage and ARGUS shutting off the exits to the city, I've not read the thread yet but I bet someone has moaned about another Nolan Batman comparison.

I liked Blood having his moment of realization and attempt at redemption before Isabel filleted him, and it was cool seeing the Lance sisters together with Sara finding a bit of redemption, I just worry that means she'll die in the finale. I also loved the scene between Ollie and Felicity in the clock tower.

Not a huge fan of the direction they seem to be going with Thea, and you just know she shot Slade's goon behind Malcolm.

The action in this episode was excellent and the appearance of scale they created on a CW budget was impressive. My favorite fight moment was Quentin taking the Slade soldier out with those grenades!

 

[Loki882]

Malcolm was in the preview for next episode, so he's clearly not dead (or he's immortal now). The first option is more likely. Oh and apparently Amanda Waller has been taking notes from the WSC in Avengers. "There's an army rampaging through a city, just nuke it."

KC hasn't been doing interviews for most of the season until the last few weeks. For her to start now and act so enthusiastic doesn't make sense. Especially since so many of you guys claim she can't act anyway.

 

[Quasimod0]

WHAT an episode. Did not see that coming with Thea!
I'm very worried that Sarah will die in the next episode.

 

[luis4u]

Spoiler

Never expected her to shoot him. Next episode it'll probably show that she just shot into nowhere because she was a mess. Malcolm then hugs her and they walk off into the moonlight.

I'm sure someone will moan about the Nolan comparisons, but honestly it reminded me more of the Avengers what with the nukes coming in.

Was anyone else really interested in the island stuff? I've really been enjoying the Russian dude, and I'm wondering if he'll end up staying on the island with Ollie for a while. Either that, or Ollie ends up getting off the island and staying with him for a time before ending up back on it again, because present day Oliver knows Russian, and I'm not sure where else he would have picked it up.

Man do I hope that that's Merlyn to Roy's left.

 

[charl_huntress]

I gave this an 8 prematurely, but it was an 8 for me once I watched the episode. I wish CW would go for two hour season finales with this show.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

Thats who i was thinking it was too loki! with Slade threatening Thea, i could see him putting aside his beef with Ollie to go after Slade.

 

[guitarsingerguy]

Idk watch them be using the who you love most line to mean Ollie himself. Maybe Slade thinks he's putting all these people in danger to save his own ass. I certainly hope not, but this is the CW.

 

[Hush]

Man great episode and check that mask on Roy!!!

 

[Sawyer]

Hope Roy gets an actual costume next season.

 

[rks943]

Such an awesome episode! Can't wait for next week!
