2) Be The Giver Or The Undertaker
To be honest, there was a moment that I thought the producers were about to push Oliver Queen into Greg House territory and make him unlikable, but luckily, they quickly dug him out of that hole. If you think me a fool to even entertain such an idea, then may I refer you to the bizarre narrative choices made during the, um, masterwork that was season 4?
Long story short, Oliver has found himself broken after what Prometheus/Adrian Chase did to him last week, making him desperate enough to reach out to the Bratva and doubting enough to pull the plug on Team Arrow. And although he went to some morally grey areas, he thankfully had Diggle there to be the voice of reason as usual.
After hearing some encouraging words from his teammates, Oliver was willing to get back into the field, but it seems like he feels he needs to earn the right to put the Green Arrow costume back on. His heroics that followed effectively severed his ties with Bratva, but at the end of the day, he and his cohorts were able to publicly expose Adrian Chase as Prometheus, making the five episodes that’ll follow the month-long hiatus ahead of us feel like a new ballgame.
See, this was an ending that left a better taste in my mouth than what The Flash had to offer. Yes, an agonizing wait lies before us, but I in no way felt shortchanged by what I saw.
