The Arrow season two finale is a thoroughly satisfying ending to a fun season.
Here is our full review.
This review of theArrowseason 2 finale contains spoilers.
Is Unthinkable the most action packed episode ofArrow?
It would have been a crime if they didnt deliver in a big way for the season finale.
There are heaping helpings of almost big-screen quality action in nearly every scene in this one.
Theres certainly no danger of this one ever being boring.
It makes some sense.
IfArrowneeds something blown up real good, this seems to be the guy to call.
You know what Im talking about, of course…Oliver and Felicity.
Im not sure what to make of this one.
Ive been quite vocal about the fact that I dont think they need to be romantically involved.
Now, before the Oliver/Felicity (I dont do cute mash-ups of names for anyone, folks.
The writers have earned it.
Stephen Amell and Emily Bett Rickards have earned it.
I may not love it, but Ill buy it.
And, ummmm…remember how badly this screwed upMoonlighting!
Alright, Ill admit…Im reaching.
Hell, they fooled me for a minute.
I said to myself, Arrowis far too simple a show to toy with fan expectations to this degree.
I love it when Im wrong about stuff like that.
What a slugfest that was between Green Arrow and Deathstroke at the end!
Either way, I win, he kept saying…but Im not sure he believed it anymore.
Especially not when hes just been tied to a post by two bolo arrows!
Once and for all, Olivers journey from vigilante to proper superhero is now complete.
You helped me become a hero, Slade.
Olivers final, ultimate transformation over these last two seasons feels very real to me.
Shes a great character, and I hope they dont keep her out of action for too long.
Also, was John Barrowmans dialogue written by a different writer than the rest of the episode?
Was it me, or has every line hes uttered since his return been kinda goofy?
So much of Theas arc this season was handled so well that this just seemed rushed.
Its tough to top that.
Yet again,Arrowproved me wrong.
It felt organic, nothing was forced, and, of course, the actual action was pretty special.
I really cant wait to see what they can do in season 3.
Im mildly surprised that nobody tried to break the Huntress out of prison for this, too.
The countdown to Slade Wilson becoming the leader of the Suicide Squad starts…now.
Its a good script, and Ill have a feature on that project up here later this summer.
Other than that…who cares, right?
Sometimes it can elevate my enjoyment of otherwise pedestrian episodes, other times its ineffective.
I guess knowing since mid-season that you were guaranteed a third season does wonders.
Speaking of that third season…
Arrowseason one premiered on Wednesday, October 10th, 2012.
That was the night before the start of the 2012 New York Comic Con on October 11th.
Arrowseason two premiered on Wednesday, October 9th, 2013.
That was the night before the start of the 2013 New York Comic Con on October 10th.

Does this mean thatArrowseason 3 will premiere on October 8th, 2014?
