But it’s the not knowing for sure that will gnaw at you if you let it.īut here I am devoting so much of my time to what was really just one minute of “Lian Yu,” the season 5 finale which most closely mirrored the season 2 finale in its sheer amount of non-stop action between costumed combatants and the way its present day and flashback fight scenes synched up perfectly to juxtapose a choice Oliver made in the past versus the choice forced on him in the present. Jury’s out on Quentin, Curtis, Nyssa, Talia, Evelyn, hell, even Boomerang and Malcolm.
#ARROW LIAN YU EPISODE SERIES#
In fact, we already know for a fact that the actors who play Rene and Dinah as well as Katie Cassidy have signed contracts to be series regulars next season, and there’s no way they’d kill off Felicity or Diggle or Thea. No, everyone is probably going to be fine. Now we have to wait until October to find out what Arrow season 6’s cast list is going to look like, although common sense dictates the show won’t suddenly turn into a Mister Mayor domestic drama about Oliver as a single father raising William with zero support from friends and family since they all died in the explosion. Adrian Chase just stepped into Kimberly Shaw’s shoes and blew up the entire damn island of Lian Yu, leaving everyone’s life hanging in the balance, other than Oliver and William’s, of course, since they watched it all from the safety of a boat off-shore. To be honest, I don’t even remember who was revealed in the season 4 premiere to have died in the blast I just remember the utter shock and WTF of it all and the long wait over the summer to find out what happened. However, as sad as it might be my reference point for this is Melrose Place, the soapiest of soapy 90s primetime dramas which arguably peaked when Kimberly entered the packed apartment complex courtyard in the season 3 finale and set off a series of bombs, directly threatening the lives of every major and minor character on the show. Oh, I know there are probably plenty of other shows which have trotted out the ole “let’s blow everyone up in the finale, and cliffhang it so you won’t know who survives” trick. This is the first and probably only ever time I’ll make this comparison, but Arrow just pulled a Melrose Place.
