Stephen amell has had to turn up his acting ability because of the fact that these few episodes have seen him as just Oliver queen and not the character of the arrow. He has to deal with allot of different issues so far this season that have brought the best out of his character.
This episode was a clear Roy Harper episode with Colton Haynes delivering a performance that makes you clearly care about his character. Obviously he now isn't dead but it does seem at least for now that he is going to be leaving the show even though there is obviously a chance he can return in the future. Willa Holland also had an important role in the episode and obviously with Roy leaving and her death it seems her character is going to take a turn with her going in the Lazarus pit. This was also a big ray Palmer episode and I like the character of the atom but I'm not really a fan of the love triangle aspect of the show so it made that part of the episode not as interesting. The villain of the episode deathbolt was pretty cool even though we didn't learn too much about the character.
The story of the episode was a bit of a mixed bag because I didn't really care to much about the Ray and Oliver romance with felicity stuff but I thought The Roy scenes were great. I didn't feel the emotional impact when it was revealed that Roy was dead so I knew it was a trick and I did feel the impact when Roy left at the end of the episode. Obviously the crazy ending with ras ah ghul killing thea queen was awesome even though it seems she will be coming back to life in the next episode.
The script was a bit too aimed at humour sometimes but the drama with the Roy scenes and it felt a little unbalanced.
The action scene were really good and the mix of comic book aaction between deathbolt and the atom and the grit of the Roy Harper fight scenes mixed really well.
Overall a good episode and I think the next few episodes can lead to huge things.
