Arrow Season 4 Episode 17 "Beacon of Hope" Review


The Bug-Eyed Bandit escapes from jail and turns up at Palmer Tech threatening to kill everyone in the building unless she gets the bio-chip that was implanted in Felicity's spine.

This was a really great episode that I was not expecting but it turned out to be really great. The whole idea of Brie needing the same chip that Felicity has was interesting but also seemed a little out of place for what Brie's story plot was originally. Still, this episode had some amazing fighting scenes and just scenes overall with having the camera switching to the view of the bees and keeping the story moving and exciting almost constantly. the whole part of bringing in Curtis into this episode was very fun and interesting and I hope that he comes back in the future episode to take over for Felicity now that it seems that she is not coming back. Then the whole scene where Oliver gets stung by the bees and then they finally find out what happens when you get stung was a very cool scene especially when it got down to the moment where they found a cure and it just happened to be a tool they already had in the bunker. Having Felicity's mother in this episode was not the best thing because she was really only in there for the comedy and to get Quentin involved in the whole problem, but it just wasn't worth it, she was really unneeded though the whole part she was in. I did like the part when Quentin first showed up and he made the comment that it has to be one of HIVE's planes like the team is actually taking their name literally now that Darhk is gone. I wonder what was Brie's whole plane to get the chip because it kind of felt like she thought Felicity would just give it to her when to do that Felicity would have had to literally rip it out of her spine. Then all the scenes with Darhk where really interesting with seeing all the rest of HIVE just kind of give up on him and leave him all alone, but I don't think it will work out quite like that. And I was weird how quickly Malcolm seemed to gain power in HIVE when he only seemed to become a part of the group like a few weeks ago at most. Overall this was a really great episode that I really enjoyed.
