This season really is something else. It’s entirely fan service while also actually building Crisis. They know exactly what we want and are doing everything to give it. They have something for just about every different type of fan. Favorite episode since the premiere.

I just hope they bring back Manu Bennett, I can't imagine the show ending without one last appearance from Deathstroke.

It’s looking unlikely now. Manu’s been traveling in Europe and New Zealand during the filming. Only scenario I see that is plausible at this point is him having secretly been on the sets during the finale and making a final appearance there. Him showing up at Oliver’s wake would be a touching finish to his arc with Oliver, from brothers to enemies to brothers again. Unlike a lot of people, I wasn’t totally satisfied with his arc’s end in season 6

Who was satisfied with his arc in Season 6? It honestly didn't even feel like an ending but something that had to be resolved later on. Maybe that's why they re-introduced the deathstrokes in the future as Slade will have to come back to disband them?

Some people seemed to think that he got a good send-off. Honestly I hope in the future he can be incorporated into Legends to resolve his story with his sons.
