There's no real reason for me to waste energy like I usually do ranting about this show every week. Tonight's episode certainly wasn't great, but I did at least feel the weight of the last 20 minutes - and how this episode truly is the end of an era.
Being that it was Emily Bett Rickards final performance as Felicity, the episode was bound to give her a big send off. While she didn't die in the future storyline like some may have thought, she did leave her daughter Mia and adopted son William so that she can go see Oliver with the Monitor, wherever he may end up after this coming year's crossover.
Seeing the OTA together one last time down in the bunker was a particularly impactful scene, especially since you can clearly see Stephen Amell's real life emotion seep through the character. That certainly got me a little bit, even if the rest of the episode is the most forgettable finale this show has ever had. It truly begs the question, how exactly does this show end this fall? If Oliver is already with The Monitor, is he not going to appear in the present day storyline until the crossover? Is he going to be "training" to stop the crisis from happening? No matter, it still incredibly hard to believe this show is coming to an end.
7.0/10
