Arrow "Public Enemy" Thoughts/Review

From an insane police chase, The Demon's Head appearing again in Starling, to a very interesting ending that will change Team Arrow, its Wednesday and it is time for another review.




Episode Description: During an attack on the mayor's office, Ray is critically injured. Felicity is pleasantly surprised when her mother, Donna Smoak, shows up at the hospital to offer her support. With the SCPD out in full force looking for the assailant, Oliver and his team work hard to stay one step ahead of the police to find the man responsible. However, things come to a head when Ra's al Ghul kidnaps Captain Lance.



High Points
  • As far as action in these episodes, I thought tonights was full of it. Every action scene seemed to be perfectly shot and was very entertaining to watch
  • Ray Palmer using nano bots to cure him means he must have the technology to have the ATOM suite shrink? I say that's a fair guess.
  • Thea back on the Roy Harper D. Giggity Roy, giggity. 
  • We see the return of Felicity's hot mom. We should see more of her she really, uh spices the show up. 
  • For once Team Arrow was fully suited up and went into action. More scenes like that, the team action is the best action.
  • Ras continues to maintain his death grip on Starling and increasing the pressure on Ollie to take his place.
  • The scene between Lance and Ollie in the van after he turns him self in was incredible acting on both parts. Very intense scene between two of my personal favorite characters
  • Ollie turning him self in for the sake of saving the rest of team arrow perfectly shows his heroism and why he tool up the mask and bow.....or so we thought
  • The ending......

I agree Ollie, Team Arrow needed to suit up together.

That moment you realize you may be the best looking guy in prison...




Low Points
  • The scenes with Felicity continue to be the worst part of this show. A once incredible character has taken a very negative plunge week after week.
  • Speaking of Felicity, she deny's Ray cold of the I love you. Ray you deserve better bud.
  • Although it was very interesting meeting Shadow's twin sister, the flash back scenes didn't really do much for me this week.
  • Captain Lance has had some of the worst luck on this show, but threatening his own daughter with jail time at gun point, come on man thats family.
  • The CW moments between Ray and Felicity. Heres hoping Ray doesn't fall down that same path Felicity did.  

You gonna deny this Felicity?


Verdict: After last week's episode which had gotten mixed reviews amongst the informers and I'm sure some of our readers, I believe this week's episode took it to a new level from last week. It started right off the bat with a fully suited up Team Arrow going into battle with the league. This is only after Captain Lance had put the bounty out for the Arrow and his accomplices. Lance's act provided an unbelievable police chase that we havn't seen in this show before. The action during this entire scene set the tone for the episode from Roy's escape tactics to Nyssa showing up and sniping the gun right our of Captain Lance's hands. Just incredible stuff. Now as for Ollie's decision to turn himself in, as I said in the "high points" section, I thought it was the right move. It proves that being a hero is more than just wearing a mask saving people, it's about looking out for the people you care about, and if that means turning him self in he had to do it. These next few sentences are going to provide spoilers so if you haven't watched yet stop reading here. The ending sparked a major controversy and could shake team arrow for a good amount of time. Roy posing as the Arrow to save Ollie. Can honestly say I did not see that coming. He explains to Thea that he wanted to be done, he was excited to go to jail, but I didn't think anything of it. So my question to you the readers is this. What happens now? In the preview for the next episode Roy says "you saved my life once, now I'm saving yours", while in the prison suit. Is that it for Arsenal? I guess only time will tell but I will say no for now.
All in all I give tonight's episode a solid 8.5 out of 10!



Thanks for reading guys. What do you guys think of tonight's episode? Did you agree with both Ollie, and Roy's decisions? Leave a comment and send us a tweet @Caped_Informers or @O_doyleRULES11. Tune in April 15 for "Broken Arrow".
