Spoiler Alert!
Hello guys and welcome to a new week of rants!
We're starting in a good note with such an amazing episode of Arrow!
This episode was special for a lot of reasons! Not only it was pretty amazing, but it also was episode 150 of the show, which is a big landmark (and we are getting a few more episodes because CW just announced that Arrow was renewed for Season 8, which is amazing!). Because this was episode 150, they wanted it to feel different so this episode was in a documentary style, which was pretty dope! The episode wasn't actually all documentary style, which I thought it would be, but to be honest, I wish it would've been because I think it would make it even more interesting. Nonetheless, it was a pretty different and special episode with a lot to be happy about, one of them being the special appearances!
We had so many special guests in this episode! Because this was a documentary about Vigilantes, they talked with basically everyone that is related to Oliver so, not only Felicity, Diggle, Dinah and all the people that we have been seeing in the past seasons but also characters that have left quite some time ago such as Sara Lance, Thea and even Ragman, which we haven't seen in a long time! My favorite special appearance though was Barry (The Flash)! You know that I'm a sucker for Oliver and Barry together and, even though we didn't have them together in this episode, it was nice to have Barry be part of the Arrow (where he actually first appeared) as well as part of Oliver's documentary. This also made us see how different The Flash and Arrow are as shows, which I always appreciate.
William was also back for this episode and we are getting close to make sense of all the things that are happening in the Flash-Forwards. We see that William have been rebelling and that, actually, he was expelled from school (for what we don't know yet) and we also had a pretty interesting scene with William and Zoe, something that we haven't really seen before (just in flash-forwards) and where he kind of hints that he's gay.
Something that I really enjoyed about this episode were the Diggle and Oliver scenes. The truth is, they haven't been together much lately and they actually talk about that in the episode, where Diggle says that it's been basically a year since they've worked together. But this episode changed that and not only we saw Oliver and Diggle working together, but we also saw Team Arrow working all together, including Felicity, Rene and Curtis!
Obviously, because this wasn't just a documentary episode, we also had a bad guy that is going after vigilantes and that Team Arrow had to deal with.
Oh, I would also like to mention that I really liked Dinah in this episode! You know that I love Dinah but in the beginning of the season she wasn't really the Dinah that I liked but in this episode she got back to her old self and I really loved her during all this episode! And mainly in the ending when, after Team Arrow is caught (because vigilantism is still illegal) she basically says she will no longer be Captain if her friends go to prison (and Oliver basically does the same). That's when the Mayor tells them that, without them, she would've been dead so she's promoting all of them to work in the SCPD and yeah, that's basically it.
I really really liked this episode! Most of the time the episodes are just 'okay' but this one was really good and I'm so happy about that! Let me know your thoughts on this 150th episode and I'll see you tomorrow with a new The Flash rant!
Love,
Daniela.
