Arrow Season 4 Episode 11 "A.W.O.L." Review


An agent of Shadowspire who was an enemy from Diggle and Andy's wartime past shows up to Star City. Diggle must learn to trust Andy but he got more than he wanted about their shared time from war. Oliver, however, must learn a new way of life when Felicity is now in a wheelchair and receives her codename.

This was a really great recovery episode for Felicity and a really great episode to have Diggle and his wife as the main people. I enjoyed the moments of reconnection between Diggle and his brother Andy as though this episode they learn to trust each other and learn to get along again. And all the flashbacks between the two where it shows that Andy and Shadowspire had been working under his nose all this time with out his noticing was really great, and a bit of a sad moment. All the moments with Felicity were also really great and so well acted, especially all the scenes where she has to talk with a past version of herself, because I understand how hard it can be to stay in character for scenes like that. Everything with her was so well organized in how it was constructed and made a very well flowing story. Then having Felicity's code name being Overwatch and not the highly theorized Oracle was very smart so that maybe in the future of there ever growing world Barbara Gordon maybe can make and appearance as the Oracle as the comic books have it. Over all this was a really great episode the focused more of the secondary characters over Oliver and I really enjoyed that.
