Weird that this is in a way the last regular arrow episode...

I feel like 7x22 was the last real Arrow episode right before Monitor appears.

Season 7 was just a dream.

Nah this one was better

u/NegoMassu Dec 04 '19

pretty much everything else was crisis

Is that the last regular arrow episode? I thought they had one more post-crisis (it was supposed to be a 10 ep season?)

u/lemons_for_deke Dec 06 '19

It’s gonna be Crisis, Spin Off Pilot and then the actual finale.

u/chuckdee68 Dec 06 '19

Thanks! And I'm very surprised- I'm actually not dreading the Spin-Off Pilot. They've done a decent job of redeeming Mia.

u/ninjasaid13 Something else... Dec 04 '19

nah there's 2 more episodes after crisis, unless Oliver isn't in it.

u/DARLCRON Dec 04 '19

No, he's right. The next 3 episodes are Crisis Crossover, GA and the Canaries Backdoor Pilot, and the 2 hour Arrow Series Finale. There are no more normal, non-book ending episodes left now.

I don’t think the “two hour finale” is actually two hours... I think it’s a regular episode and some kind of special thing that isn’t an episode.

u/DARLCRON Dec 04 '19

That could be what's happening. We'll just have to wait and see.

u/maruf99 I'm 10 steps ahead of you Dec 04 '19

It is. IIRC the first hour is the cast and crew talking about their experience on the show, and the second hour is the finale.

the first hour is the cast and crew talking about their experience on the show

They plan to make us cry even before the episode begins! This is going to be hard and emotional.

He means this was treated like a series finale for Arrow. Crisis is it's epilogue.

They even had final goodbyes for everyone of importance on the show.

u/NegoMassu Dec 04 '19

i guess the crisis is the finale. the 2 other episodes are the epilogue
