Arrow season 3 episode 16 the offer review

The new episode of arrow has come and I think it is really about time I spoke about it. Be careful for spoilers if you have not seen the episode yet.

The premise of The episode picks up from the last episode with ras ah ghul offering Oliver queen his position. Team arrow try to take their mind off of it in their different ways especially by taking down a crew of criminals.

With this huge turn in the season I think we are going to see Stephen amell pick up his performances as the arrow is going to have to make some big decisions before the end of the season and even though he ended this episode rejecting the offer I feel like there is going to be a reason for him to contemplate accepting the offer.

Thea has become maybe the second most important character on the show with her story arc and willa Holland is doing a great job in making her character sympathetic and believable. Paul blackthorne as captain lance is a character I have always loved and now after this episode it seems he is going back to being a complex character against team arrow which I am really looking forward too. Katie Cassidy and Katrina laws did a great job in the episode as laurel and nyssa and I think their relationship is going to be important because it will help turn laurel into the true black canary. Felicity was a good wake up call for Oliver in the episode and I find her and rays relationship interesting and how it will go towards the end of the season. Now I have given Matt nables performance as ras ah ghul a bit of stick because I felt like he wasn't on screen enough but these last few episodes he has been killing it and he looks like the villain to truly fear in this episode.

I loved the first ten minutes of the episode, I want to know more about the league and the dynamics inside of it and all the moral stories are great on the show. I do think the plot of stopping murmur was a bit pointless and I felt it was just thrown in there. I want to see more of the league and I think the idea of ras impersonating the arrow to make the city hate him again so he will agree to take his place.

There wasn't allot of of humour in the episode and I thought sometimes it felt a little too dark and could have used a bit of comedy in it.

The action scenes were good even though there weren't that many but I think towards the end of the season we are going to get more great action scenes.

Overall I enjoyed this episode and I think there are some things towards the end of the season The episodes are going to be awesome.
