Schism

Even though this was the last episode of the series I couldn't finish it. Was too painful!! For a action series to be good at least have good fight scenes!! The acting wasn't too bad but just get a proper fight coordinator. Seems like the ghost are running in blind and waiting for a turn to be beat up by the heroes. Might as well be fight mindless zombies. Maybe they should call the series "fear the arrow". I watched this series from season 1 and felt it get worse and worse. Maybe they cut the budget when DC's LOT and flash was added. Rather leave it than ruin it, please!! I will not be watching arrow's next season otherwise I might just lose my eye sight...

I'd like to write a spoiler free review because the episode was so bad that if would go into specifics, it would end up in a rant. However, it perfectly reflects S4, which started out not too bad, but then devolved into an ugly mess. Even I as an amateur could pin point the problems of extremely lazy writing, poor planing and execution of the season long plot and a huge drop in quality around visual effects and stunt performances. It's so blatant, that messed up shots of some extras or stunt doubles are making the cut these days and aren't ending on the floor. It's "bad wig stunt guy in an 80's TV show" bad.

The S4 finale bottles all that's bad and gives you one more dose of it. Luckily it also provides enough closure and avoids any cliffhangers, so right now I've absolutely no reason to even be curious about S5.

This was, by far, the worst season finale that Arrow has had. I genuinely believe that this episode was rushed out and was planned on the go. A lot of things don't add up and too much focus is put on irrelevant drama. I know that the quality took a sharp dive after season 02, but now it's like the writers have just given up and are giving us whatever flies across their mind at the last minute.

Also, can we please take a moment to contemplate that the show has now become about magic and global nuclear warfare. Is this supposed to be some kind of joke? I would have forgiven this questionable writing path if it was interesting or well-implemented. Unfortunately, it is neither.

Don't hold your hopes up. It's a boring conclusion to a boring season.

While this season had some good moments, I didn't like it overall, mostly thanks to it bringing actual magic into what was a fairly tame and down to earth show but the finale... Just no.

Episodes were getting worse as the season neared it's end, plot holes were becoming wider but I could have lived with all that if it led to something good.

What I can't live with is how this episode portrayed a fight between two ex-members of League of Assassins. They basically b***ch slapped each other until one got tired. What... the...

I'm sorry, that was hands down, the worst fight scene I ever saw on any screen. I burst out laughing while watching that scene, pathetic... This show had many damn good fight scenes and they end a season with that?

Also, if you hate the so called "Olicity" the last scene was a middle finger from the writers aimed directly at you. I don't mind Felicity as much as some, but this season made me sick of her too.

Too bad it has been confirmed that finale of The Flash won't have any effect on Arrow.

This last episode was the perfect summary of the this Season 4.

The episode's structure was identical to all other's ones. Always the same dialogues, always the same expressions, always the same fights.

The end was exactly as anyone would have imagined. It looks like they didn't even try to surprise the audience.

I did hope that at least the last episode would have been something more, something that would not make me ask "why am I watching this?" like all other episodes, but I was totally wrong.

Let's see the positive side. There are no cliffhangers, I have no interest in watching the season 5, so next year I will use this time for something that is not so banal and poor written.
