Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
“Starling City’s under attack. It must be May.”
That self-aware quip from Detective Lance was probably the highlight of Arrow’s lackluster third season climax, and it comes to mind as the show prepares to wrap up Season 4. Once again, a nefarious villain has put Star City in his crosshairs, and Ollie and friends are fighting a losing battle to save their city. But if these last couple episodes have succeeded in any area, it’s been in raising the stakes beyond the norm and building up a threat that looms over not just Star City, but the entire world. A master villain like Damien Darhk deserves no less.
If the threat of HIVE and Project Genesis wasn’t already clear, last week’s episode raised the stakes considerably by wiping out an entire town in a nuclear blast. It really says something about this enemy that their opening salvo claimed more lives than all three previous main villains combined. That disaster and all the other battles leading up to it nicely set the stage for this week’s conflict. Following a brief skirmish with a turbo-charged Darhk, Ollie and Diggle continued their hunt for Thea while Felicity and the rest of the gang worked furiously to stop HIVE from renewing their nuclear onslaught. It’s just a shame that one of these storylines didn’t live up to the other. I probably don’t even need to point out which was which.
