Arrow "Unthinkable" Finale Thoughts/Review!

I have to apologize for such a late review guys. Bruins in game 7 losing to the Canadiens was a tough tough blow to my night, but thank god for Arrow to bring my night right back up. This is the last Arrow review of the season! so lets go out with a bang!

Major Plot Points

  • Roy is cured
  • Roy wakes up
  • Ollie tells everyone the fight is on
  • We see the return of Nyssa Al Gul plus the League of Assassins
  • Laurel gets poisoned or knocked out
  • She is taken by Slade
  • Thea ends up shooting Malcom Merlin, but of course he is wearing kevlar 
  • Roy calls Thea to make sure shes safe and alive
  • Thea and Roy have a CW moment, until Roy is summoned by Team Arrow
  • Roy finally gets a mask and a bow....YESSSS!!!
  • Epic fight scene in a tunnel between Team Arrow and Slade's army
  • Nyssa kills Rampage after Ollie stops Sara from doing it
  • Ollie pleads with Slade to call off his attack

  • Ollie is told by Slade that he has the woman he loves
  • Dig and Lila confront Amanda Waller with a little help from our pals in the Suicide Squad to call off the drone strike
  • We find out Slade has taken both Felicity and Laurel and is going to make him choose one
  • THEN! in a blaze of glory we find out that the whole "I love you" scene between Ollie and Felicity was a plan to plant the cure on Felicity knowing Slade would take her hostage
  • Felicity injects Slade with the cure for the mirakuru
  • THE FIGHT IS ON!!!! DEATHSTROKE VS ARROW

  • Ollie and Slade have one more conversation where Slade is behind bars and Ollie thanks him for making him the hero he has become
  • We later see Slade is imprisoned on the Island!
  • Ollie, Felicity, and Dig board a plane which Ollie is flying.....?
  • Episode ends with Oliver meeting Amanda Waller for the first time in Hong Kong
















Wow thats alot.....

What I LOVED:
  • The fight scene that switched back and forth from Island to Real time between Slade and Ollie
  • The cleverness of the plan between Ollie and Felicity
  • The tunnel fight scene
  • Team Arrow
  • The fight between Slade and Ollie
  • Roy becomes the official "side kick" what should we call him....Arsenal or Red Arrow?
  • Nyssa and the League of Shadows join up with Team Arrow
  • Dig, Lila, and the Suicide Squad took on ARGUS
  • Deathstroke's suit (gets me every time)
  • Laurel gets her hands dirty
  • Laurel gets her jacket
  • Ollie realizes he is above Slade, beat him with out killing him, and has become a hero
  • The Island makes an unexpected return
  • The fact that there's a season 3!
  • THE WHOLE EPISODE!













What I Disliked
  • ARGUS drone strikes.....
  • Officer Lance can't catch a break
  • The season is over :(





















Final Thought's on the Finale and What to Expect next Season!

It is very hard to admit that this season is over, but it has been an unbelievable one overall. They promised to deliver a great season finale and they weren't wrong. That fight between Slade and Ollie was worth the wait. I mean how can you top the switching back and forth between the real time fight and the fight they had on the island. Just pure TV genius. Also, now that the season is over, I can admit that I was wrong about who I thought would be leaving the show. I don't believe Sara will be returning for the next season, and to be quite honest I thought it was going to be Felicity. So with Slade behind bars, Sara gone, Thea leaving with Malcom Merlin to god knows where, and the episode ending with Oliver and Amanda Waller being in Hong Kong, what will season 3 bring us? Well expect to see Slade again. No doubt in my mind he comes back. Also Thea will return, but will she have some new skills??? Also, Laurel may become bigger then we expected her to be. Perhaps a new Canary is in the cards??? Also, Officer Lance, please don't die on us. You are a member of this team whether you know it or not! Finally, I think we should expect the scarlet speedster aka The Flash to show up and cross universes. They set it up pretty good I think. 

All in all in my finale review, I give the finale a solid 9.0 out of 10 rating!
Arrow returns Fall 2014 on CW
