Everything ties back to the island.

Everything.

Next week, we'll find out that Felicity was on the island with Martian Manhunter and Harrison Wells while Ollie was wasting time in Hong Kong.

The middle of S4 was the worst part. The episodes leading up to the finale were an improvement, until the finale falls flat.

That was a damn good episode. The action, effects, and even flashbacks were on point. I hope they can keep this up.

I just realized this episode has four recurring black characters with multiple lines of dialogue, and none of them died. That's pretty good for a CW show where none of them are related.

Did we also have two female characters interact without only discussing a boy?

Because this show might've just hit some kind of pinnacle if so.

Really solid opener! I'm glad we got Punisher Ollie back, even if it'll be for an episode. You know you like killing, Ollie. Just give in. It's what's best for everyone.

Not going to lie. I was bummed seeing Chesthair reduced to a drunken mess. The man has been through so much! He might be a broken drunk with nothing to live for, but at least he hasn't started to button up those pesky top buttons. That would be the point of no return for him.

No Olicity. I blame Barry.

"Mr. Dog"

There should be trigger warnings before any Laurel flashback.

Yo, is this a Gotham thread where I can say they finally embraced the camp, despite this not being anything like camp?

The Arrowverse is all about the heroes learning lessons and growing as people then immediately forgetting those lessons and fucking everything up.

Ollie with killing, Barry with time travel.

Well he never wanted thea to become like him .
Season 4 he went crazy with the no killing rule .
Up to season 3 he was still willing to kill if need be .

Really solid premiere. Thrilled to have Killer Ollie back, so Thea better back off and let the man do his thing!

I liked this premiere more than Flash's. Ollie finally back to fighting like a bad ass again and using trick arrows is so good. I wish we could keep the smaller team, but I know what's not gonna happen.

Suspiciously strong Arrowpisode. Not the best episode by any stretch but the action was great (for Arrow) and the flashback at least had some relevance. It's a start!

Watching season 4 finale finally. At the big Ollie speech on top of the car. The dude is an actor not made for yelling. He sounds like a kid half the time.

I really liked this episode. The flashback actually tied into the current day storyline in a meaningful way, Thea connecting with Lance over dealing with addiction, and Oliver learning to move on were all strong points. Great action and stunt work too.

Only complaint would be that the stinger was just a little too much. You can chill with whatever polar opposite season long goon is being setup.

The next episode is being directed by Bamford as well, so I expect some good things next week too.

I watch arrow from time to time if it is on tv but I can't believe they still do the flashback storyline what part of the world is on now? Only to somehow make it seem like he was always on island
