I felt the second half of S2 was really weak in comparison to the first half. They built up all these awesome ideas and they ended up being terribly disappointing.
I agree that Streets of Fire was a far better episode than Unthinkable. The title for the finale was just misleading and used to get people to watch it.
Hmm, not an easy question. But, in random order, my five favourite episodes are: Deathstroke, Unthinkable, Three Ghosts, Streets of Fire and Seeing Red.
My first episode of Arrow was The Scientist, so it holds a special place in my heart and I still think it's amazing! Even though there were a lot of other great episodes...I can't think of another that sticks out.
i agree! Streets of fire was so shocking and awesome and emotional , unthinkable felt anticlimatic after such a good episode. What was unthinkable was THE FACT THAT MOIRA GOT MURDERED WITH A KNIFE not the fact that slade got sent back to the island
I agree. Things got shaky after "Heir to the Demon" in my opinion. The episodes by themselves were usually still very good, but many of the conflicts and character choices seemed to happen simply due to the demands of the season-long plot, rather than as a means of growing the characters.
1. Heir to the Demon 2. League of Assassins 3. Deathstroke 4. Broken Dolls (creep-tastic) 5. Crucible (Really enjoyed the Mayor) 6. Keep Your Enemies Closer (Because it was so different, being in Russia, yet was still well executed.) 7. Seeing Red - Certain plot issues aside, this episode had fantastic direction.
1. Three Ghosts - That Slade reveal at the end and hallucinations 2. Unthinkable - Not flawless but a satisfying end to a great season 3. Streets of Fire - Team Arrow and Lance family FTW even though silly on the nose hero talk. 4. The Scientist - Barry Allen!!!! 5. Seeing Red - Moira!!! I am still crying 6. League of Assassins - Sara and the League 7. Deathstroke - Slade's madness and Thea at last.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
It was a really great season with some great episode like "Unthinkable" and "Seeing Red".
ReplyDeleteMy five favorite episodes this season were
ReplyDeleteCrucible
The Scientist
Three Ghosts
Heir To The Demon
Streets of Fire
There are more I liked too but I personally think Streets of Fire was stronger than Unthinkable and made it pale in comparison.
Three Ghosts for me.
