Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
Arrow’s fourth season has been a mix of good and bad, leaning a little more towards the former but never quite committing to one or the other. It’s fitting, then, that the season finale focused on the duality in Oliver Queen’s soul and the need for darkness and vengeance to go hand in hand with light and justice. But rather than give Season 4 the ending it needed and proving that the good truly outweighed the bad, “Schism” merely ended the year on a disappointing and thoroughly unsatisfying note.
For an episode where the threat of nuclear annihilation was hanging over Star City like a radioactive Sword of Damocles, there was a surprising lack of tension in this episode. Perhaps it was the relatively little time devoted to exploring the mass chaos and panic among the citizens of Star City. Perhaps it was the fact that Ollie and his friends seemed more interested in having heart-to-heart conversations and trading pep talks than responding to this imminent threat. Whatever the case, this was the most anti-climactic season finale on the show since… we, since the last one. There’s a pattern starting to form here.
