In the good seasons of Arrow, the penultimate episode has been among the shows best. I think back to season 1's Darkness on the Edge of Town, season 2's Streets of Fire, and season 5's Missing. It's always the episode that sets up the inevitable battle for Star City which used to claim the lives of a main character. That tactic is no more, as the show has spent more time trying to expand the cast, than expand on the characters already existing.
Alas, this year's penultimate episode was... just ....fine? I never found myself invested or paying close attention like I used to be, but it's not like I was telling at the screen with anger either. It's been more apathy of late. Who really cares anymore?
We spent almost the entire episode inside a broken building, as Oliver and the team tried to make their way out. Or course, in typical Arrow fashion, they used Tommy has a hallucination for Oliver/plot device. Basically to manipulate the audience a few times, only for it all to be a dream sequence. Some things will never change. That's all I got. Get me to the finale.
5.8/10
