Just watched the preview. Yes! Barely gave anything away too, just showed a tiny glimpse of the setup we already know is coming. Perfect. It reminds me a little of Tom King's 'I Am Suicide' story arc in Batman, which I absolutely loved.

I hope Talia survives the finale. We didn't really see too much of her this season.

I love how it was pouring down rain when Malcom and Oliver was at the crash site and then with the close ups it's not raining.
 
Not going to lie. Lost my sh*t when i saw
slade
at the end. I had no clue this was happening.

I have got to say Arrow this season has been something else.I have to say Prometheus is up there with my favourite villains of all time. He is so calculated its unreal.

So Arrow is moving to Thursdays at nine next season.

Apparently Black Lightning will be mid-season.

Doesn't really change my viewing. Jane and Crazy Ex being paired up again makes sense. Interesting that Black Lightning is a midseason show. I think they're avoiding oversaturation. Arrow, Legends, The Flash, Supergirl, and Black Lightning all airing at the same time is a bit much.

I think Arrow will pair better with Supernatural.

I'll miss my Wednesday Arrow nights. Makes sense with the dropped ratings a little.

Is weird to have a gap between days now. I miss the old Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday DC lineup.

Yea moving a day and the time slot is odd.

What show is taking its spot?
Riverdale apparently.

Great episode. Looking forward to next week. I'm not sure why, but I thought Ollie shooting the lock was pretty cool.

How many seasons until Ollie needs to team up with Chase? Did we ever find out anything about Vigilante, I don't remember.

So we have
Supergirl on Monday
Flash on Tuesday
open Wednesday
Arrow on Thursday

Surprised they aren't moving Legends to Wednesday.

Something weirdly arousing about Laurel saying Daddy like that.

They don't call it "daughter universe theory" for nothing. 😳

Killer Frost has that same seductive Villain Voice™ thing going on too.

I can't remember ever cheering during a CW DC show, but that happened when Manu showed up.

This has been an amazing season of Arrow, and I only hope that the season finale finishes it off just as strong.

As for Arrow moving to Thursdays, that's fine with me. There's nothing on Thursdays for me anyway (I can't watch NFL Thursday Night Games anymore), but I was hoping Legends could take that spot. Or hell, move Legends to Supergirl's spot.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I think the best case scenario going forward is for Deathstroke to make it out alive and become a mercenary for hire. Then he can show up once and a while just doin Merc stuff.
 
Another amazing episode in an amazing season. I never expected to enjoy Arrow this much ever again after the appalling last couple of seasons. Even Olicity is bearable again!

When Slade appeared at the end of the episode, I freaked out - I knew it was coming, but still freaked out. And Yao Fei made an appearance too!

I like that they dyed Katie hair back to being a brunette for the flashback hallucination scene for consistency. That's great attention to details.

Sadly I'll miss Malcolm if he's not coming back. Though I wonder how they're going to wrap up his story. He's been kind of aside player ever since S2. Even on Legends they ddint give him any plot or emotional growth. Just straight hamming it with the Legion. Which was great.

Maybe if they can get Manu back. Slade can fill Malcolm role of the character that flirts between good/evil line. Shows up every now and then.

I mean, that's like the least they can do if they're going to use her in a flashback lol

Great attention to detail would be like keeping proper track of his scars or something lol

So like... Oliver just had Deathstroke's gear hanging around I guess

I get why prisons keep people's belongings and let's them leave as they came in, but in comics rogues escape so often and get all their gear from the prison itself on the way out that it's just silly.
