Arrow finally figures out how to do flashbacks right.
Now, it seems to have taken its final bow, and it was quite a show.
As far as Im concerned, this was one of the best storylines on the show ever.
Ive been mostly ignoring the flashback plotline this season for two reasons.
One, the story is always small yet takes the entirety of the season to play out.
So, it gets boring not knowing whats going on quicker than most.
Second, they very rarely go anywhere.
How did it do this?
Frankly, his sanctimonious theres always another way policy is only about three and a half years old.
It puts the world of this show in a more realistic place.
Thats why this installment was so good.
Meanwhile, it accomplished all this while peppering in some incredible fight scenes, gun battles and cold-blooded murders.
If thats not superhero drama we can all get behind, Im not quite sure what is.
