User blog:The Turncoat/Arrow Season 6 Episodes Ranked

An overall very good season, even if it could have been a bit better. My ranking of all its episodes.

23: Irreconcilable Differences

Possible the shows most disappointing episode, it had the chance to put the season in the right track but instead it was just full of cringe worthy humour, forced character drama and out of character decisions.

22: Divided

The team arrow split was immediately a sore point, it didn’t work here and not through most of the season. The only thing that redeems this episode was Oliver versus Cayden James’ cabal.

21: Shifting Allegiances

A bit disappointing after a strong run of episodes. It did progress the season forward well but the action sequences and character drama just weren’t at their usual strength

20: Doppelgänger

While it was good to see Roy back he didn’t really get enough to do that justified his return. It was a fitting first encounter between Diaz and Oliver knowing his full agenda.

19: Tribute

Though the conflict was a bit pedestrian and Oliver giving up the Green Arrow mantle was rushed it was still an entertaining episode with a great return from Anatoly and an amazing batman name drop.

18: Crisis On Earth-X

It’s sad to say that Arrow had the weakest crossover episode this year as it usually has the best ones. It was just a bit to slow and to big on set up for its own good. It still had amazing action sequences and great return from Tommy.

17: Reversal

Cayden James didn’t make much of an impression and Oliver really lacked a purpose without being the Green Arrow.

16: Collision Course

Though the conflict between the two teams could’ve been better built up it was still satisfying to see them face Of and gave Black Siren a new purpose in this season.

15: We Fall

The thing that really held this episode back was the fact that it didn’t really have much of a plot. It was basically just team arrow going from one disaster to the next but it did have real tension and improved the team arrow split.

14: Promises Kept

Manu was great as always and the drama between him and Oliver was always great. The episode did suffer from its pointless flashbacks and underwhelming revealing of The Dragon.

13: Deathstroke Returns

It’s always great to see Slade back and his chemistry with Oliver was top notch and it was great to see them team up as allies again. The flashbacks added absolutely nothing and the reveal of Vigilantes identity left a bad taste in my mouth.

12: The Thanatos Guild

A much better showing for Roy and was a good last episode for Thea. The Guild itself could’ve been better did create for some good action sequences.

11: The Ties That Bind

Though team arrow coming back together for rushed it was still gratifying to see. It really set up a strong finale and Diaz as an even bigger threat,

10: Next of Kin

This episode proved that Diggle could be a worthy Green Arrow and brought me around on that storyline. The Oliver-William drama was continuing to be a strong point for this season but the villains were most defently lacking.

9: All For Nothing

This episode really improved Vince as a character and as vigilante. The city being over run by Cayden was really building up tension it’s just a shame that they killed of Vince just when he was becoming a good character.

8: Life Sentence

While it was a bit slow and couldn’t quite compare to last seasons finale, this was still a strong episode that created for a chilling final fight between Oliver and Diaz while changing the landscape of the show (assuming they follow through with it).

7: The Dragon

We’ve never really had an episode like this and that added to this’ll episode. It made Diaz a unique and interesting villain like we’ve never seen before. I just wished we’d stayed on that plot line rather than cutting between Felicity and Curtis B-plot.

6: Fallout

If this was a season 5 episode I’d be ranking it much lower. As a premiere for this season it set up good conflicts and set the new tone and dynamics very well.

5: Thanksgiving

A much better showing for Cayden James as a villain that added some real threat and menace to his character. Oliver coming back as the Green Arrow was also gratifying while pushing the season in a good direction.

4: Brothers In Arms

Seeing Diggle and Oliver face off was heartbreaking but very well built up and strongly acted by Amell and Ramsey. I was really convinced of the strong direction this season was going in after this episode.

3: Docket No. 11-19-41-73

An episode with tension like no other. The court room drama was done extremely well and I was truly unsure of how things were going to be resolved. It also contains Wild Dog’s best scene in the show.

2: The Devil’s Greatest Trick

The episode that gave me a new Hope for this season. Diaz really came into his own and James finally became a well rounded villain and character that did make me miss him somewhat after this episode.

1: Fundamentals

An episode that expertly pushed the final stretch of this season forward while hiking back to the rest of the show in an amazing way. Seeing Chase back was amazing and an episode alll about Oliver is never a bag thing.
