Episode 23
My Name Is Oliver Queen
As I suspected, everyone was inoculated before being exposed to the virus, thus saving them from being infected. Yes, it's a cheat, but it's expected. As for the showdown between
Oliver and
Ra al Ghul, it was decent. It was nowhere near the epic showdown between
Oliver and
Deathstroke last season. I will say that I was somewhat surprised that they actually had
Oliver kill off
Ra al Ghul, even if it was expected. Loved seeing
Felicity wearing the
ATOM suit. Interesting twist at the end showing
Merlyn as the new
Ra al Ghul. Was kind of hoping to see him resurrect
Sara in the Pit as the cliffhanger. It would have been appropriate given
Nyssa was right there and would have been the ultimate peace offering to secure her loyalty. Anyway,
Oliver "retiring" from
Arrow is not going to happen. Duh. Nice to finally see
Thea as
Speedy become a characters on the show, using Roy's old
Red Arrow costume. Overall, a solid
Season Finale.
