Wow. Still a bit shellshocked by that episode. I was gutted by Moira's ultimate sacrifice. She was always one of the show's most intriguing characters to me, even if she was written a bit haphazardly sometimes. I'll really miss Susanna Thompson, who was terrific on this show.

I was always concerned with how Laurel would fit into the picture when she starting hanging out with Oliver in his Arrow escapades but her inclusion in the events this week felt like she was a natural fit to work with the group. If she doesn't die within the next two episodes, I think having her along for the ride next season will help elevate the team even more instead of burdening it.

This show is so fucking awesome. I maintain that the episodes lately have seriously been movie-quality. Tonight's was amazing.

I even love Laurel now. And I gasped at the end.

They should really tie this into the DC universe with the films.

Also, this shot from the promo:

Great finale!

Plus we get John Barrowman as a series regular next season!

I could not even be more happy about this. Epic Finale. Grade: A+

Wow, just wow. This has to be one of the best, if not the best, show on television right now. The amount of awesomeness this show offers is amazing. The last few episodes felt like one big finale. Like thompsoncory said, most of the episodes have movie quality, see the shot above for proof. Stephen Amell has gotten so good in the lead and I had a big grin on my face when he told Felicity that he's in love with her. I was rooting for them all along. I was a bit disapointed finding out it was just their plan to get Slade. So the show managed to actually blow me away almost every episode and get me emotionally invested. Oh and Slade Wilson has to be one of the most intimidating villains ever. The first season made me a fan of this show but now, at the end of S2, I have fallen completely in love with it.

Agreed. The finale was awesome.

I'm really impressed with how much Amell has improved. He was a bit wooden and boring initially, but watching the finale (specifically the scene with Slade) I kept thinking how much better he's gotten.

Finally saw the season finale. A great ending to an epic season. Everyone involved with this show should be commended on such a stellar season.

I'm not ashamed to say that my heart leaped out of my chest during the Oliver/Felicity scene and that I rewatched it like three times. I mean, it was basically a con on the audience (and Slade) but...y'know. Not all the way.

I agree with everyone about Stephen Amell. The level of improvement in his acting from the beginning of the series to now is indescribable. He's insanely good on the show and has really come into his own.

Amell is great. Seriously puts people like Henry Cavill to shame.

Yep, it's been great to see Stephen Amell grow as an actor from the pilot to now. The fight scenes and production quality are the best on network tv - it's not close either.

Stephen Amell's cameo in The Flash pilot just made me even more excited for season 3.

It's actually above all MCU films

Writers and producers are the same from Arrow, it means that, at least, we'll be having a quality show

WTF Magnus. I tried to tell you this months ago when you were complaining about The Flash not being a movie and you shrugged me off. lol

Arrow is awesome.
