Arrow: Lost Souls review

Mama Smoak returns in a lighter episode that still got a lot of heavy lifting done.

Here’s the latest Arrow review…

This Arrow review contains spoilers.

Its been a little aimless.

I was getting worried.

In fact, I was especially worried after last nightsridiculously good episode ofThe Flash.

How couldArrow, which has been struggling all season long possibly compare to the spectacle of Enter Zoom?

Well, it turns out, it didnt have to.

It just had to relax, let the characters be the characters, and have a little fun.

Lost Souls might be just what Dr. Palmer ordered.

I had issues when I first heard the early details of this episode.

Turns out I was being dumb.

I wasnt thrilled about Olivers Mayoral campaign, but so far, so good.

I dont mind being wrong.

Ive never seen so many Im just going to stop talking now faces after a quick, hard stare.

Even the important or touching mother/daughter moments never had time to become cloying.

Everyones timing (and that absolutely credits the writers and director, too) was on point this week.

I never doubted that Oliver and Felicity would work things out quickly.

That was also a really stellar action sequence at the end with everyone getting down to it.

It looks like were nearing the end of theLegends of Tomorrowset-up, and thats a good thing.

Theres plenty of time for all that to be revealed.

It took about two minutes for me to get those goodArrowvibes off Lost Souls.

I never lost them.

This isnt an all-time classic episode, but it was the right one at the right time.

Its no surprise, I guess, that Reiter is more than just some drug lord.

Now, Im intrigued.

That was a fairly elegant/different cliffhanger for these sequences, too.

And no, I dont know what a Heart of Water is, either.

DC Universe Watchtower

It is Wednesday.

I know, I know…Im pathetic.

4587 has come up before, hasnt it?

This brought a little smile to my face.

In fact, I dig it a LOT more than the armor.

A little headgear, and thats a far cooler, far more practical superhero costume than the full suit.

Using it to uncover a message from the ancients this week sure isnt hurting that little theory.

Something something spirit animal something.
