TV: Arrow 8th and final season

[Mr. Canucklehead]

The really need to make a live-action Arrow movie I think it could be very successful

I've been playing Injustice 2, and the difference between the way Oliver Queen is depicted there (more true to his loudmouth, bleeding heart socialist/liberal comic-book self) is almost jarring compared to how he's depicted on Arrow. Very different.

Some of his quips in the story mode are absolute gold, though.

Absolutely loved this season. I would put it slightly behind 1 & 2, but this season really redeemed the series. Loved Adrian Chase as a villain

You can tell a season by that "will you remember" scene. For me, its first season when Tommy found out his friend was hitting on his girl, second season was when Deathstroke killed a family member......nothing stands out in my memory until the scene when Chase breaks lose and is driving away from the police with that smile. Good season.

Season 2 was the high point. All the little inside jokes and comic references. Good baddie. Everything you need.

Yes. The slow build in the story to explain the baddie as well was nicely done. Clearly something they built to from Day 1.

It was really fun to binge watch Seasons 1 and 2. I found some good things about Season 3 and 4 but yeah those seasons were underwhelming. Season 5 (mainly from episode 10 onwards) was the first time I watched the episodes on a week to week basis. It was a really nice return to form and I think it would work really well on a rewatch binge.

Deathstroke origin story confirmed for the season.

 

[Gains]

Has anyone watched it this season? Not sure if it's worth following weekly or just binge during the summer.

It's almost been a year since I started watching Arrow and I think Season 5 might have ruined it for me. Season 5 was so good that watching Season 6 feels kinda there and a little boring. It's not bad, but it feels like the show is getting a little tired. Also, I'm not a fan of Diggle as the Green Arrow.

Just started Season 4 and agree that the first two Seasons are the best so far. Wasn't a big fan of Oliver's visit to Ras al Ghul land. And Ollicity is a terrible pairing. Have seen The Flash Season 1 and a couple episodes into Season 2 and it's much more fun overall.

Deathstroke mercing fools was badass.

 

[Jussi]

Deathstroke mercing fools was badass.

Yes, but let's be reality, who the f*** wants to watch a whole season of John Diggle as Green Arrow????

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Last night was the best episode of the season, even though I called the thing with the Son about 10 minutes before the ending. The stuff with Dinah and Vigilante was really well done too.

 

[kingsboy11]

This season is pretty good so far. I won't say I'm enjoying it more than last season, but this is a different change of pace that I'm digging so far. I'd agree that the latest episode was probably the best this season.

 

[Jussi]

Man did this season get worse and stupid after around the halfway point. Diaz character and the whole situation got so preposterously ridiculous towards the end. And now their going to copy The Flash and put Oliver in prison for a while. At least Twiggy Holland is gone from the show along with Stupid Dad.

 

[Jussi]

So will Oliver spend more or less time in jail than Barry Allen last season?

 

[Unholy]

Still need to finish the season. Lost interest in watching the whole old vs new group plot they kept putting out. Didn’t want that at all

 

[Flash20]

I'm just happy Roy is talking over for Oliver

Just skip to second last episode and start

Season 7 began yesterday. What the hell happened with Diaz in Felicity's apartment after she got thrown through the table? No explanation of any kind how she was suddenly meeting Oliver in prison. And just when I was getting ready to enjoy a season without timejumps, they show ones from the future...

I think she mentioned to Oliver when she went to see him that Argus arrived in time. But overall I actually really enjoyed the season premier

 

[The Nemesis]

Oh look, we have angry, hypocritical, sanctimonious Felicity back. Because I totally missed having that.

Yeah even though I try to defend Felicity's actions sometimes, not really liking her story so far. Everyone else's stories so far have been great and really liking the flashforwards

 

[Neutrinos]

Kinda surprised this show lasted as long as it did

I found the acting to be quite subpar, so I tapped out midway through the 5th or 6th episode of Season 1

I tapped out at the start of Season 3. The writing was just so f***ing horrible.

 

[Jussi]

I'm getting tired of Oliver in prison already. And is it obvious to anyone else that the little guy is not who he appears to be? Diaz being always ahead of anyone else is becoming really tiring as well.
