Renewed for Season 6.

Tom Banjo

That was the best of this season's DC/CW finales, imho. Glad to see Slade again, and it was interesting to hear them go back to the original intro music for this episode.
I doubt they have the guts to kill any of the team off, so the cliffhanger feels kinda empty.

Very good season 5 Wrap Up.
Except the story will be continued in Season 6.

I had a good chuckle when Black Siren and Black Canary blew each other away.

I bet they all made it into the ARGUS bunker.

I thought that ending was pretty clutch.

The cliffhanger brings back memories of the "Moldavian Massacre" on "Dynasty", -which was a device used by producers to keep contract negotiations in line (basically, if you don't play ball, -or you just want to leave, - you died in the episode).

I think most of the cast is contracted through Season 7.

Great ending. If they want to cut some of the cast down, that was a good way to do it.

Yeah that was an awesome finale and probably one of the best of all the Berlantiverse. If they decided to end the show now I would be alright with that because this season was so strong. Loved having Slade back.

I give this season a solid A and would say it's the second best season behind 2.

Overall DC TV show rankings for the year:

1.Legends
2.Arrow
3.The Flash
4(but should be much, much lower) Supergirl

I thought the finale was solid but the Prometheus arc was too long (the season drooped in the middle). Probably should have done half w Vigilante and half w Prometheus ...

So a poll on who survived? A bucket-load of heroes, villains and random folk there ...

Draven

My vote? Everyone survived. Including Malcom.

Eric F

So no more flashbacks?

Great finale. Best of the bunch. Well, at least we know which of the Canaries are stronger now.

I'm positive a few supporting characters won't survive that explosion. As others have suggested, it gives the producers a chance to cut budget with Arrow's diminishing ratings. Stars like Stephen Amell get very expensive on shows in their sixth and seventh seasons, which usually cuts into co-stars.

I thought it was a great finale and probably the best one we've ever gotten from Berlanti's DC shows. Adrian Chase actually killing himself to get back at Oliver was a perfect ending to the character.

This was a very good season of Arrow, a return to form after meandering at times throughout the last two seasons. Chase made it compelling and the new characters weren't that bad.

It was fun seeing Deathstroke return, though it looks like he's been well-fed in prison since we last saw him.

Deftones

Fun episode. Liked everyone fighting and the double scream by the Canarys was great.

We already know Mad Dog and the new Canary will be back next season. I doubt anyone really dies.

alfredog1976

Spartacus reunion!

Very good episode. I'm also willing to bet they all survived.

rw2516

Somebody has to die for no other reason than to give the rest a reason to sit around the bunker and pout over survivor's guilt.

Hokeyboy

Holy crap, could Artemis be any sexier?

FANTASTIC episode. Possibly the best episode they've ever done. This season was an amazing return to form.

Tom Banjo

Amell kicked ass last night on Celebrity Ninja Warrior.

Nice! Though the article could use some proofreading. (Oliver Quinn?)

PhantomStranger

It was a gimped ninja warrior course so celebrities like Mena Suvari could tackle it. I had been hoping to see Amell tackle the real course.

Eric F

On the next episode we're going to see Stranger do the Salmon Ladder.

Original Desmond

this was a very average season, watching mainly in case of crossovers with Legends/Flash etc

Sick of the flashbacks, sick of the Oliver killing moral blah blah rubbish

hdnmickey

Loved the finale other than what is likely a bombing everybody dies fake out. Hopefully they keep Slade around for next season and put him on a workout plan.

Draven

Jesus Christ. It was damn impressive. I loved the final moment "this is about to end..." Major props to him.

Barrowman's been on social media thanking fans and saying it's been a great run on the Arrowverse but he's done. So I may stand corrected on Merlyn's survival, but who knows with this show. I screamed with joy when Laurel finally died and her dumb character keeps popping up on all of my shows.

I still think everyone else lived. I doubt a bunch of characters would die off-screen.
