True, but you cant say that this episode was great. You cant say. Can't say. Freedom of speech infringed. This episode sucked. Fact. 20 minutes til the missile hits and Oliver is talking to Felicity yet again about "Darkness" (a word repeated over 600 times in this episode, sometimes in a cluster of 6 in the span of 15 seconds). Lame speech on the car which no one would have magically stopped to hear. Panicked people are like scurrying ants without that ear device from Ant-Man. Arrow gets shot left chest point blank with an arrow, gets up. Darhk lets Oliver stab him with an arrow after inexplicably losing his power, the overplayed "You wouldn't!" thing. Best scene, Spartan and Lyla have guns aimed at Darhk, Darhks guys charge at Arrow's guys, Spartan and Lyla take the queue and stop aiming and immediatly run at them along with EVERONE ELSE. Like common people would RUN at heavily armed and armored highly trained soldiers. And to top off, a running weakness of the overall show, an idol as dangerous as that would have been brought up immediatly in season 1 as soon as he returned. Bonus round:  Felicity takes aims at rumors directly: "You thought I was leaving like the others?  Not a chance."
