Arrow "Man Under the Hood" Thoughts/Review!!

This Wednesday is a very important one. Why? Because Arrow has returned!!!! Not even going to explain anymore, I want to get right into it. Remember spoilers will be present so get caught up or suffer being spoiled. With out further adue let us begin....

Key Plot Lines

• Arrow and the gang blow up a Queen Consolidated science department to cut Slade off
• Moria Queen finds a way to possibly save the Queen fortune
• Slade heads to STAR Labs to obtain the machine that will help him create his army
• He is confronted by scientists named Cisco and Caitlin (We will see those two again somewhere else)
• Slade gets his machine but not after being shot by some sort of sonic wave blaster
• Slade and Ollie have a mini one on one fight where Slade drops the line "Don't forget who taught you how to fight kid"
• Thea still blames Ollie and Moria for the whole Malcom Merlyn affair 
• We discover there is a cure for the Mirakuru
• Ollie kills Ivo on the island
• Laurel gets conformation and starts to suspect that Sara is Black Canary, but knows 100% Ollie is Arrow
• Officer Lance after getting the shit beat out of him tells Laurel not to tell him who the Arrow is but to just appreciate what he does for the city
• Slade fires his army building device up. Ollie tracks this to discover the location
• Ollie finds that not Slade but.........ROY has been hooked up to the machine and is using his miracuru blood
• Isabelle Roschev continues to be a pain in the ass by telling Ollie her and his old man were in love (Its the CW people) then she is shot by Diggle while Ollie retrieves Roy and what we later find out is the cure
• Slade uses his own blood to create his army.
• We learn Ollie chose to kill Slade and not cure him.

What I Liked

• Non stop action 
• Non stop jaw dropping moments
• fight scenes were on point as usual
• Flash Easter Eggs (Vibe? Caitlin, Iris, Barry, that whole STAR labs scene)
• The respect Officer Lance has for the Arrow
• The entire Arrow gang getting their hands dirty
• Deathstroke suit in full action
• Slade's army
• How about the whole 43 minute episode!

What I Disliked

• Thea has to get off this whole Daddy issue thing (seriously Ollie did nothing wrong)
• Still no real fight between Arrow and Deathstroke
• Laurel pushing to hard to reveal Ollie's secret (but she backs off)
• Officer Lance still can't catch a break

What to expect in the FINAL 4 EPISODES!!

Well people the final four episodes are here which means 4 straight weeks of Arrow! But here is what I think will be happening in these next few weeks. Slade's army is ready, Isabelle is back from the dead, shit is going to go down hard in Starling City. It will take all of Ollie's strength and skill to bring him down. I do not think they will cure Slade successfully, he is too big of a character and is already signed on for season 3 (spoilers). Also, look to see more of the two scientists from Star Labs Cisco and Caitlin. They will be the ones to construct the cure. Does this mean we could see Barry again even though the CW told us no? Can we trust that to be true? Adding on here, from the preview of next week, we see that Roy is alive and back at it. I want to see Arsenal, I want to see a suit on Roy make this happen. Finally, what will the out come be of Thea Queen? We know some one will be dying but will it be her? Is anyone safe? Is it next Wednesday yet? So much to come!

All in all I give this episode a solid 8.5 out of 10

Arrow returns next week! Wednesdays 8/7 on CW
