Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe producers wanted to bring back the characters Tommy Merlyn and Roy Harper, but the actors were not available. Roy would have been Thea's boyfriend and her date at Oliver's wedding.
- GoofsWhen Sarah Lance instinctively beats up a thug in the mansion and asks Oliver how she could possibly know kung fu (not knowing she's in the Dominator VR), Oliver says she most likely used Jeet Kune Do (which the late Bruce Lee created prior to his death). Despite the nonfiction reference to Bruce Lee's style, the League Of Shadows has been in existence for centuries in Nanda Parbat, Tibet and it is highly unlikely they would have adopted Lee's Jeet Kune Do (which he created in the West) and was considered a controversial style at the time of its introduction. It would be more consistent with Arrow continuity if Oliver surmised Sarah had used Wing Chun considering Team Arrow members have been shown training on the WC wooden dummy and this style was created in the late 18th century in China, thus allowing the LoS ample time to assimilate the style.

Felicity Smoak: You honor the dead by fighting. AND YOU ARE *NOT DONE* FIGHTING!
Tommy Merlyn: I know I called you a murderer. But you are not. You are a hero!
Roy Harper: You saved my life. You gave me a purpose. This time we had to save you.
Laurel Lance: I know who you are in your *bones*, Oliver. And that person doesn't give up!

Now if you take the crossover aspect out and focus on what is is (which they didn't advertise as either) the 100th episode of arrow then this episode is spot on perfect.
It's very emotional and basically a thank you to the fans. Which lots of nods that have gone on to celebrate the last 5 years of this show.
Fantastic performances by Stephan and Willa which will leave most people needing tissues
I would have given 10 but it's lost a point for the pushing of the crossover
Now onto part 3.
