• 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!
