Arrow Arrow Season 5 Episode 22: "Missing"

[The Apocalypse]

Personally, I thought it was one of the coolest eps the show has had. That sword taking the car out though? That was a big WTF moment.

I think that was a case of SFX failure. They really should have had it look like/made it clearer that the ninja was cutting the *tires*. Also, probably should have been Talia herself doing it. Not only is "Talia vs car" more plausible and more useful ( for building cred ) than "random ninja vs car", but it would have helped sell that this capture mission was the one they took most seriously ( OTA and all ).

-I still want to know why Black Siren is so scared of Prometheus, because I still don't buy it. I know that the show has given him ridiculous amounts of plot-armor/god-tier villain skills, but this is pushing it.

-I'd care more for the William thing if the show would, well show Oliver spending more time with him and not just trot him out whenever he needs to be in danger to "raise the stakes."

-Given how poorly Thea's been used (or should I say underused) this season, why am I not surprised that her big contribution now is as a hostage, ugh.

-Good to see Malcolm, Slade, and Nyssa back.

-Hey they remembered that Evelyn existed. I was beginning to think that they'd forgotten about her, given how little she's been used in the latter half of this season.

I would like to think this will give them the ability to have Oliver be in his life now. The idea of "if people are going to go after him anyway, might as well keep him close to protect him" thought.

Especially since we don't know what happened to his mother. I doubt Prometheus would think twice about killing her, and since she didn't report William as missing, or come to Oliver for help leads me to believe she's either been taken, or killed.
