Wednesday night's are slowly becoming my favorite night of the week. Why? Because its Arrow review night! Every one knows the deal not caught up, not reading this article. Tonight there will be MASSIVE spoilers, so if you enjoy things spoiled go ahead and read if not, enjoy this weeks review!
Episode Plot Points
- Slade brings Thea to an abandoned warehouse where she meets Brother Blood
- Being absent at their mother's debate, Ollie begins to worry a little where shes has gone to
- Sebastian Blood (not Brother Blood) tells Ollie Thea's absence is his fault......he ordered cops to put up barricades...(good one B.B)
- Slade interrupts debate between Moria and Sebastian with a recorded message from Thea screaming for help (first Deathstroke suite scene of the episode)
- Ollie scrambles his team to find Slade
- Team Arrow finds him, instead of killing him, Ollie shoots him with viper venom and Slade is brought into custody by none other than Detective Lance
- Roy decides to go rogue (side effects for miracuru hating Oliver Queen?)
- Meanwhile, Ollie makes Isabel Roschev temporary CEO of Queen Consolidated (Big Mistake)
- Slade some how has an alibi and proven innocent
- Slade lets Thea go, but first reveals Ollie's secret?!?!?!?!
- We then find out that not only was signing Isabel over to be temporary CEO, Ollie is voted out of the position, She takes over the company, he loses his inheritance, and reveals she's working with Slade and she knows Ollie is the arrow. (what a bitch)
- Felicity Smoak is actually the one who smacks Ollie in the nuts (not literally but you get my drift) and tells him to sack up and fight to find Thea
- Epic fight scene with Ollie and Deathstroke's "minions" we can call them
- Full out Deathstroke suit and fight scene as he takes out a prison escort bus.
- Ollie finally finds that Thea has been released and is safe, but she reveals that she knows.......the secret....which is...............MALCOM MERLIN IS MY FATHER!!!!!!
- Finally Slade reveals another bomb to the beautiful Laurel....and I quote "Oliver Queen is the Arrow"
wow.....lots of shit going on.....
What I liked
- Ollie fight scene....one of the best I've seen so far
- Felicity showing some balls which is very cool
- Roy got some action, and then he decided to go on his own
- Slade is a slippery bastard
- Deathstroke scenes were unreal
- Slade beginning to build his army perhaps?
- Im very excited for whats to come
- Island scenes were fantastic as they usually are
- All the bombshells Slade dropped in one episode
- I'm officially hooked on Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy) such beauty
What I Disliked
- Lots of talking if you're not a fan of dialogue
- More Diggle!!!!
- When will we see Arsenal?
- Detective Lance gets fucked again...damn it why can't he catch a break
- Ollie's secret is revealed (I don't like it)
What to expect in future episodes....
Well as we saw tonight Ollie's world is beginning to fall to shambles as we all knew it would at some point. I think in future episodes we should see the creation of Slade's army now that Isabel owns the science division of Queens Consolidated. Also, that epic fight scene between Deathstroke and Green Arrow is going to happen I promise you guys it will...I know I've been saying it all week but it's like the dragons in Game of Thrones....it is coming. I also, have the suspicion that a very important character is going to be killed. The only people we know who are safe is Slade, Ollie, Diggle, and Felicity and even she is a maybe. Also, look for Roy to suit up as Arsenal and some other cameos from other upcoming shows (STAR LABS scientists coming to town/Flash character cameos) to show up in Starling City. Lots and Lots of things are about to happen and tonight was just the tip of the iceburg
All in all I give this episode a 7.5 out of 10 rating!
Arrow Wednesdays 8/7 on The CW
