Since the beginning of the season, one question has been a constant, “who is in the grave at the end of this season’s premiere?” Tonight that question is answered.
“Taken” was, arguably, one of the best episodes of Arrow’s fourth season. Both “Broken Hearts” and “Beacon of Hope” recycled former Arrow and Flash villains in order to keep the season moving forward with the changes in the status quo.
I wasn’t all that excited about “Sins of the Father.” In fact, I shared with a friend that I was over another “League of Assassins” mini-arch. Boy, how I was wrong! So many changes and an answer to a question from the first episode.
“Unchained” carries its theme throughout this episode for both Oliver and Felicity, one in the short term, the other more of a long term. As you watch for a second or maybe third time, look for those unchained or at least in the process of becoming free.
This was a week of leading characters not taking center stage. This week’s Arrow focused more on Team Arrow instead of Green Arrow. Felicity’s new circumstances take center stage with her battling her inner demons along with the Diggle brothers trying to come to some common ground.
