Television Arrow | Ending on Season 8

Just watched the first three of the new series and it has improved. Looking forward to more. Number 4 now.
 
The latest ep with Constantine has been leaked. I watched it and it's pretty good,
 
This episode reminded me why I'm so gutted Constantine was cancelled. Matt Ryan is class.
 
Poor episode .What's with this island ,seems to be very overcrowded. And the Constantine story seemed to far fetched.
 
I really do wish it was a two parter that episode. It needed more Constantine imo and could have done with more time spent within the other realm trying to free Saras soul (given it seemed so easy and was pretty much guarded by three crappy LoA guys lol
Also could have had a big moment of Sara returning and seeing Cpt Lances actual emotions.

I did enjoy the flashback parts , and have enjoyed them more this season (probably because its back on the island). Quite a lot happened, Sara is back (ready for Legends), Diggle finds out his brother was not clean at all, Dahrk is still pretty much badass (think he needs more screentime as hes menacing as fook), and Atom confirms hes alive but in danger.
Fun episode overall.

This episode reminded me why I'm so gutted Constantine was cancelled. Matt Ryan is class.

Hes amazing. Hope its not a one time thing, shame his series didnt work out but would like to see him incorporated in the future (or would be cool if his series becomes online or CW can somehow get it)
 
The episode was decent, not great, but Matt Ryan as Constantine was definitely the best part. If CW don't revive his show, I hope he makes more appearances on Arrow, or maybe even Flash.
 
One thing that is annoying me with Arrow and Flash is the whole villain of the week thing - or in this case, story of the week. Like @Sylar said, it was way too rushed - and could have done with more time. Gotham did a great job at the start getting rid of it and the show has become so much better as a result - likewise with Agents of Shield.

It just annoys me how little time these mini villains get - they get built up at the start of the episode to be unbeatable and a huge threat - then we get some parts of the main story, love scenes, then a 5 min fight where the unbeatable villain is finished off. Time to get rid of that formula I think.
 
I HATE Laurel, everything she does is wrong.

I know I brought someone back to life when I shouldn't have, and because of that people have died, but did you ever stop to consider MY FEELINGS?!

I can only agree. Fewer bad guys and longer episodes about them would be much much better but at the same time these two shows have a high number of episodes commissioned, they somehow have to fill the air.

TBF, it's Legends of Tomorrow fault. I thought the whole arc in season 3 where she slowly accept Sara death, becoming a drunk, reconnecting with his father was the decent part of her story. Alas, it's all went out of the window.
The only good part of bringing Sara back is that it gave reason to Constantine. Other than that, I don't understand why they just didn't use the multiverse reasoning to bring her back. Let just say this Sara is from another Earth

I agree that Sara's return and the necessary arc around it is due to Legends. But as you mentioned with the multiverse, there were so many ways to bring her back without making Laurel so selfish and illogical. I commented a few weeks ago that I actually liked Laurel at the beginning of this season, but bringing Sara back has killed that good will.

Hopefully once Legends starts, Flash and Arrow can go back to telling their own stories; all this set up is annoying. Although, yeah, seeing Constantine was great, love Matt Ryan in the role.
 
It's quite annoying that so far both Flash and Arrow have suffered a touch in order to set the background for Legends. I mean I know it pretty much had to happen but it's happened at the expense of both shows. Can't wait for it to start as the shows should pick up a bit then.
 
Yeah they have a few more episodes to go before they stop all this setup. After that it should go straight into fighting Darhk.
 
Great performance by Constantine, and I like how they work on integrating what happened with him and Ollie on the island and at least give that some follow up (the tattoo bit). I rate Dhark as a villain although I do feel that the setting up Legends takes away from the building of his character. Seems less of a thing during Flash episodes however. Hopefully the Sara arc is now over so they can get on with the story regarding Dhark. Oh and yeah, Laurel is cringeworthy at best this season.
 
It was, but the writers put her character in a bad position there as it was the only thing that made sense to bringing back Sara for Legends. (although the mention of another earth Sara given its the same universe as Flash is interesting. Would have been cool to see Sara as one of the breachers in an episode of Flash and then to have a cross over with Laurel into that - Laurel has been quite good when crossing over into Flash tbf)

Poor episode. Too much relationship drama for my liking and they didn't handle Sara well. Island is progressing super slowly probably because there's not much content to be covered there.
 
Yea wish somebody just bodied Felicity. Shame it's not Laurel who fecks off as well. Only positive of this shit was Black Canary's tits but they're gone as well now, boo.

I can't understand what's happened at the end though, with Darhk and this map of some sort, anybody?

i assumed it was a map of the city separated into sections

YOU DON'T SEE ME AS AN EQUAL. Even though you were doing this for a long time before me, and were trained by ninjas and shit, and are the leader of the league of assassins, WHY DONT YOU RESPECT ME
 
It was ok, but yeah, too much of the drama stuff, hate crying whining felecity, especially after they put her on the right path this season.

My guess has now turned to Felicitys mother being the one thats killed. Island stuff was great last week, this week, it was basically two seconds, then back to normal timeline. It was really weird, nothing really happened.

It was nice they put the Ray stuff into the Dahrk storyline, but the characters come and then they go quickly (go of towards Legends show). I understand they need to build towards that and its fine, but its been a lot of time for that with the current storyline not progressed as much.

The shame was Sara basically has the same issue that Thea has which is a copy of what Roy had. Basically same storyline / issue. But what I dont get is they go off shooting HiVE people, but then they try and stop Sara from snapping a guys neck. So shooting them is fine, but neck snap isnt? What?

Mixed episode basically.
 
As far as all the Legends Of Tomorrow set-up episodes go, this was one I actually liked. It was good seeing Ray back, the island flashbacks are still decent, and Dahrk is always entertaining.

What's weird is that 6 episodes into both seasons, I'm preferring Arrow to Flash. I'm just looking forward to all the Legends characters fecking off so that both shows can focus more on their own stories.

Why ? She probably won't appear much in the remaining episodes.

Thought they were going to show her hooking up with Lance

Not seen any of this, is it worth watching? maybe a daft question with a 17 page thread about it.

Its a decent show. If you do decide to watch it, from Season 3, watch it together with The Flash. There are some cross over episodes with characters from one show appearing on the other. And Flash is good.

I'm so glad we won't be seeing more of Sara getting involved in the story, she's the character I dislike the most on the show, I hope both her and her sister feck off and they keep Lance who is a better character then both.
 
I liked Sara better than Laurel. I was sad they killed her off initially tbh. Didnt think it was needed.

Speculation:
Because of that bit at the end with Lance. With Darkh now knowing Felicitys name, he will probably go after her and using Lance (who looks to be getting close to her), he will kill her. Then Felicity will be too distraught to attend the funeral or will leave early leaving Arrow (and then that will be what we see as the future scene that was teased in the beginning of this season). It will kill a character without it being a major one imo. Which btw I think would suck lol.

As far as all the Legends Of Tomorrow set-up episodes go, this was one I actually liked. It was good seeing Ray back, the island flashbacks are still decent, and Dahrk is always entertaining.

Ive enjoyed both for the most part. I think arrow has done a better job of incorporating the Legends characters into the normal storylines though.
