For all that Arrow is, it has always lived in the corner of nostalgia. That especially seems to be the point Arrow season 8 is going for. “Starling City” seems to enforce a callback to season 1 of Arrow, with Oliver headed to Earth 2 for material requested by the Monitor. In doing so, we revisit a different path Oliver could have taken on his return from Lian Yu. Colin Donnell, Josh Segarra, John Barrowman and Susanna Thompson all guest star as their respective Earth 2 doppelgängers. And it was so nice to see them return.

 

While the main plot for this season remains the setup for Crisis on Infinite Earths, it seems as though Arrow will be providing a lot of fan service in each episode. Particularly in dedicating each episode to a previous season of Arrow. This is pure speculation, but after seeing commentary from Stephen Amell and show runner Beth Schwartz, it remains all the more likely in my book. Ten episodes, with one episode dedicated to Crisis on Infinite Earths. Green Arrow and the Canaries, a hopeful spinoff show, will have a backdoor pilot episode. That leaves 8 episodes left for pure Arrow content! It works incredibly well for this Starling City, as Oliver goes back to his roots, but is drawn back in by two people who have become his closest friends.

 

Overall, Starling City holds up in terms of great Arrow episodes. Barrowman has been especially missed in terms of his presence on the show. But Segarra and Donnell’s presence really defines Oliver’s reactions here. Tommy Merlyn and Adrian Chase have been two of the most effective characters on Arrow in terms of changing Oliver, and while these weren’t from Earth 1, the effect on Oliver is enormous. I can’t wait to see them again.

 

Rating: A

Arrow's David Ramsey Won't Confirm Green Lantern Future, Says "We'll Still See"

Quote

David Ramsey won't confirm a future as Green Lantern despite a tease in Arrow's series finale. The flagship series ended tonight after an impressive eight-season run that kicked off the namesake Arrowverse. After the show's exciting conclusion, it leaves behind four other shows: The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, and Batwoman. Additionally, fellow CW show Black Lightning is now also a member of the Arrowverse, thanks to the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths.

 

 

Characters from Arrow itself may live on as well, if the proposed spin-off series Green Arrow and the Canaries ends up going to series. As of now, the backdoor pilot for the show has aired, but no series order has been given. The pilot, which viewers saw last week as Arrow's penultimate episode, focused on Oliver's daughter, Mia, in 2040. She was also joined by Arrow stalwarts Dinah Drake and Earth-2 Laurel Lance, who make up the Canaries in the title. A potential pickup for that series could also mean seeing some of the characters fans said goodbye to tonight one more time.
