TV Series - Arrow s7 and s8 (2018-19) [/]
Apr 05 2023
Arrow season 7 (22 episodes) and season 8 (10 episodes) ends the series.
Season 7 starts with Oliver "Green Arrow" Queen (Stephen Amell) in prison after he turns himself in at the end of season 6. The first third is him dealing with the prison life since he's a former vigilante stuck in with criminals he's put away. One he's out the main subplot is Emiko Queen (Sea Shimooka), Oliver's unknown half sister, who shows up to revenge herself on the Queens because dad abandoned Emiko and her mother.
The latter half of season 7 also introduces the 2040 timeline, which may be the first time we do flash forwards in the series. We're introduced to the kids now adults: Mia Smoak-Queen (Katherine McNamara), born in season 6; William Clayton (Ben Lewis), Oliver's illegitimate son who appeared in a few episodes here and there; Connor Hawke (Jospeh David-Jones), sort of John Diggle's (David Ramsey) adopted son (I think first appearance); and Wild Dog's (Rick Gonzalez) daughter Zoe Ramirez (Andrea Sixtos).
The four are sort of formed into a team by an elder Black Canary (Juliana Harkavy) and Earth-2 Black Canary (Katie Cassidy). In order to stop John Diggle Jr (Charlie Barnett) aka the new Deathstroke and his gang from destroying Star City.
Season 8 is a short one. The first seven episodes have The Monitor (LaMonica Garrett) sending Oliver to alternate Earths collecting items he needs to stop the Anti-Monitor. Episode 8 is the Crisis on Infinite Earths where Oliver dies as foretold possibly back in season 6. Episode 9 is set in 2040 after the Crisis so everything is a bit different but it's a backdoor pilot for a spin-off that didn't happen, Green Arrow and the Canaries. Episode 10 is back to the present to tie up a bunch of loose ends (and bringing back a lot of old characters) and have a proper funeral for Oliver. As a final scene, in 2040 The Monitor appears to take Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) to Oliver where they "live" in some sort of dream universe happily ever after...
Not my favorite series but still sort of entertaining. Even though I like Katherine McNamara the 2040 timeline was a bit too dystopian in season 7 and kind of too normal after Crisis. I'm glad I finally finished watching the rest of the series.
