Arrow: Season 8 Episode 10: Fadeout: Review"

Arrow goes out in the best way possible!!!!

The opening to the episode was awesome. While I was not the biggest fan of season 2, I'm glad that they were able to get Slade in it for one more scene. I was shocked that they decided to keep Moira Queen alive.

The story line with the team having to rescue a kidnapped William was a great story line, largely due to the long awaited return of Felicity Smoak. Emily Bett Rickards' return was great, and her acting has not last its touch at all.

The final flashback to Oliver's first time he chose to spare a life was a much needed flashback. I loved the bond between him and Diggle. The action scene that took place in that flashback was their best of the season. Stephen Amell once again delivered outstanding final performance.

The funeral of Oliver Queen was very emotional. I was shocked at how many characters reappeared. I was somewhat disappointed that Slade Wilson did not show up, but I understand why they did not bring him back. I loved the interaction between Nyssa and Talia as well. Paul Blackthorne and David Ramsey's performances were great in that scene and some of the best I have ever seen.

The epilogue was great. Seeing John Diggle finally become Green Lantern made me geek out. Roy and Thea finally getting engaged to be married was a huge fan service that did not feel forced. Rene becoming Mayor was worth the wait as well. Emiko meeting Moira and Thea was worth the wait also. Laurel Lance's interactions with Tommy and Quentin were great, and I'm glad that they brought Quentin and Tommy back as they were two of my favorite characters.

The ending with Felicity reuniting with Oliver in the afterlife nearly brought me to tears. Stephen Amell and Emily Bett Rickards' chemistry once again was great, and the callback to Oliver meeting her in season 3 was a huge geeking out moment for me.

Overall, Arrow ends its 8 year run by doing everything it needed to do and benefitting from its emotion, return of familiar faces, an awesome action scene, plenty of fan service moments, callbacks to seasons 1, 2, and 3, the best epilogue in the Arrowverse, strong performances from its cast, and a great final scene that was worth the wait.

Arrow: Season 8 Episode 9: Green Arrow and the Canaries: Livin' in the Future"

Despite its flaws, the backdoor pilot episode for a potiential new spin-off has enough intriguing content to justify a new superhero show.

The story line was solid. I wish that Rene and Zoe Ramirez had more screen time, since they have plenty of good chemistry, and they are two underrated characters in my opinion. The introduction to a new Deathstroke gave me mixed feelings. While I am intrigued by who is under the mask, I am getting sick of them trying to do Deathstroke without Manu Bennett.

The story line's best things about it were Laurel's strong character development, the surprising twists, the introduction to a new villain who reminds me of Dr. Alchemy from the third season of The Flash, and a strong ending that leaves plenty to be desired.

The action scenes were good, but very unmemorable. I love the fact that Dinah Drake has her Canary cry back, I think that brining it back was a great idea. I hope that if they decide to go ahead with this new show, that they try to make the action scenes just as memorable as the first two seasons' action scenes.

The cast did excellent. While I'm sure the cast will do well if they greenlight the spinoff, Stephen Amell's presence will be greatly missed, as he brought depth and emotion to the character. Katie Cassidy's performance, in my opinion, was the best out of the three leads. Katherine McNamara once again showed that she can hold her own very well, same with Juliana Harkavy.

Overall, while it has some obvious flaws, the backdoor pilot episode for a potiential new spin-off has plenty of intrigue, lots of great plot twists, solid action scenes, plenty of emotion, and strong performances from its three female leads to justify it.

Crisis on Infinite Earths: Review

This will be short since I am writing another review today.

No doubt the best crossover that the Arrowverse has done. Crisis on Infinite Earths delivers on its great cameos, plenty of emotion, plenty of jaw dropping plot twists, excellent visual effects, incredible action scenes, plenty of callbacks to past arrowverse seasons, strong chemistry between the cast members, a great ending that opens so many possibilities, the long awaited formation of the Justice League, the new Multiverse that again opens so many opportunities, and the death of Oliver Queen that was done in the best way possible.

Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part 5: Review

I accidentally deleted my entire review, and it was very long. STUPID COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!! So I am going to make this quick.

The final chapter of the Crisis on Infinite Earths story line was the best, and it delivered on the emotion and tribute to Oliver Queen, a well shot final action scene, raising the stakes in the best way possible, Oliver's changes that he made with the Multiverse before he died, plenty of well written humor, great callbacks to past seasons of all of the Arrowverse shows, incredible visual effects, strong performances from its entire cast, and a powerful ending that opens so many endless possibilites.

Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part 4: Review

Let the final battle begin!!!

The opening where Oliver returns to the team as Spectre was a great twist, and Stephen Amell gave a great performance.

The origins of the Monitor and the Anti-Monitor was a great twist to it as well. I did not expect that at all, and the origns of both characters was great writing.

Barry going into the speedforce and seeing Ezra Miller's Flash was a great twist!!!! I was laughing so hard at how they interacted with each other.

Supergirl, Ryan Choi, and Lex Luthor traveling back in time to stop the Monitor from going forward in time was a great story line as well. Jon Cryer gave a great performance once again as Lex Luthor, and I was laughing so hard at some of his one liners.

The final battle between the team and the Anti-Monitor and his goons was a great scene. The visual effects and choreography were arguably the best in any crossover. Oliver Queen's final line to the Anti-Monitor was exactly what I wanted him to say to him.

The true death of Oliver Queen was a very emotional death. Stephen Amell and Caity Lotz's expressions almost made me tear up. It is was hard to say goodbye to Oliver Queen, but I'm glad that he went out like this. Oliver's journey nears its end, and it is going to be very sad once the show wraps up in two weeks.

Overall, the long awaited return for the Crisis on Infinite Earths was certainly worth the wait. The episode delivered on the strong emotion, lots of jaw dropping plot twists, plenty of well written humor, strong visual effects, terrific action scenes, and strong performances from Stephen Amell, and Jon Cryer.

The Mandalorian: Quick Review

What the Mandalorian suffers from in terms of its pacing and lack of questions answered is made up due to its stellar action scenes, strong visual effects, strong performances from its cast, lots of great plot twists, great jaw dropping plot twists, well written new characters, setting up an exciting second season, and strong character development, to deliver a strong start for Star Wars' first live action series.
