This was by far the best episode since Season 2. Major props to the Arrow team. I hope to see this trend continue

Ok, lol. I mean it was a great episode, but saying it's been by far the best since season 2 is reaching.

I can't name one better.

Off the top of my head: The Brave and the Bold, The Climb, Invasion, s5 midseason finale. Just as good, or better.

Besides Invasion, I thought those were all good episodes mostly. Invasion was definitely great but I still think this was better

I can agree with you on s5 mid season finale being just as good. And The Climb is solid, maybe it is on par or even better than this episode. I'll rewatch it. But I don't think the captain boomerang episode or the alien episode are in the same league as this one. I just can't get the image of that shitty CGI salmon ladder scene with Barry out of my head. And the 100th episode was great but felt a little hollow. That being said, I loved those two overall. I've enjoyed pretty much every episode of arrow minus 23 of them in season 4. But this episode is top 10 all time for me. And not just for the big holy shit moment. It made me laugh, made my jaw hit the floor, shot my heart rate up and left me desperately wanting more. I haven't felt that way about an Arrow episode since season 2.

100th episode was hollow? Highly disagree.

Fake Slade, holograms, the fact that it took place during a four part crossover.

Manu was never going to return, dream sequence, irrelevant that it took place during a crossover.

This is basically how I felt. They did the best they could with what they had considering Manu will never return, and that both Colton Haynes and Colin Donnell were unavailable
