Unfortunately The 23hd episode of the second season of Arrow was also the season finale which means that now we will have to wait four months before watching the first episode of the third season.
This final episode was breath-taking this is why I'll mention the negatives first and the positives later. As for the negatives the only thing that could have been improved was to have had Green Arrow and Deathstroke fight with their masks on. Apart from thaT I was a bit disappointed about the fact that Laurel didn't take any significant steps towards becoming the Black Canary. Apart from these two minor negatives I thought the rest was fantastic. I loved the fact that Diggle split up to go and free the suicide squad in order to stop Amanda Waller from levelling Starling City. Too bad he didn't also open the cell where Harley Quinn was locked up. Meanwhile the rest of team arrow joined forces with some members of the league of assassins led by Nyssa al G'hul. Their help was inevitable to inject Slade's Army with the cure. Seeing Nyssa fight alongside The Arrow, the Canary and Roy (who received a special gift from Oliver) got me so pumped up! However one thing was to kill or cure Slade's brainless men but another was to defeat Slade. Oliver had to outsmart Slade and so he decides to do so by using the hidden cameras that Slade had placed in his mansion against him. It's Felicity in the end who cures Slade and therefore gives Oliver a fighting chance.
The ending was quite unexpected, Oliver decides not to kill Slade but exiles him back to the island, and we also discover that 5 years earlier Oliver met Amanda Waller who brought him back to the mainland, to Hong Kong.
One silly thing I woul like to ask Oliver is how does he intend to feed Slade in that prison, it looked to me that he was the only inmate in that prison so unless Oliver travels daily to Lian Yu Slade is going to face a slow and painful death.
Anyway I can't wait for Arrow season 3 and just yesterday Stephen Amell has posted a photo of him with Steven McQueen using the hashtag Nightwing. Is this a clear sign that we are going to see Nightwing next fall on Arrow? Let's hope so!
