User blog comment:The Blue Hood/Ranking Arrow Season 4 Episode So Far/@comment-27382442-20151215231221

9. Haunted: Dang this has been a good season. Constantine's episode is still solid, just felt a bit rushed due to how little time they had for him. Wasn't a huge fan of how they depicted getting Sara's soul back.

8. The Candidate: This episode doesn't standout for me. It may be better in hindsight once we see the full Anarky story. Huge for setting up Oliver's mayoral story (which has been great).

7. Beyond Redemption: Some good action and Oliver learning about Lance-Darhk was a great development I worried they would draw out.

6. Lost Souls: It was a cluttered episode but I loved seeing Sara and Ray back. And the Thea-Darhk reveal is a game changer.

5. Restoration: While his second episode this served as a good intro to Curtis Holt. Also the Sara plot was well handled and Merlyn sicking those assassins on Thea was something I didn't see coming. Also Double Down was the best villain of the week since Cupid.

4. Brotherhood: The fact this is 4th says a lot about the strength of this season. Unfortunately the advertising ruined this one (although I think most of us saw it coming anyway). But this was a great episode, Diggle deserved his time in the sun and here it is.

3. Dark Waters: Such an amazing episode. Great finish to the first half of the season, shows huge character development for Oliver. I loved Laurel and Merlyn in this episode. Not showing Oliver fight the shark in the flashbacks sucked though. Brutal tease.

2. Legends of Yesterday: Loved it. From the flashbacks to the time travel to Oliver meeting his son this episode had it all. Definitely benefited being the second half of the crossover.

1. Green Arrow: Maybe I have it first for symbolic reasons but the second I saw this episode I knew Arrow was back at full form. Not that I disliked season 3 like some, but it was definitely weaker (except the Brick arc and midseason finale). This episode also introduced Darhk in a huge way.
