I suppose the Longbow Hunters could still matter since their appearances were fleeting at best this season. Some outstanding plot threads that remain for season 8 are Ben Turner’s relationship with his son and how Connor becomes Diggle’s son, how Star City becomes a hellscape, Rene’s road to politics which started early in the season but was tossed aside, and how Roy gets on Lian Yu. It was good to see Oliver admit that he wanted to kill Emiko out of anger and vengeance, as self-awareness is important, and he has a tendency to pass off his baser instincts as the moral high ground.įar fewer loose ends were tied up than I expected.
