Arrow, Ep. 2.23, “Unthinkable” brings a much-improved sophomore effort to a satisfying close
Arrow’s exciting second season finale really likes to hit the nail directly on the head with its main character in a number of scenes – so it’s no surprise the most effective moment of the entire season is when Arrow stops explaining Oliver’s transformation from vigilante to hero and just shows it to us. The scene inter cutting Arrow and Deathstroke’s fight in the present with their altercation on The Amazo is a defining moment for the show’s hero, and the series as a whole: it brings the two big story lines of the show together in epic fashion – and more importantly, defines just how different Oliver on Lian Yu, differs from the hero we see saving Starling City throughout “Unthinkable”.
