Arrow Season 5 Episode 12 "Bratva" Review


A mission sends Team Arrow to Russia where Oliver encounters an old friend.

This was a really interesting episode that was not one of my favorites because it was kind of boring but it was still in okay episode on its own. I did really like the team getting out of Starling City and having and adventure together. It was a little hard of a storyline to follow because everyone was moving around to different locations all over Russia and they all seemed kind of random but somehow they were all connected together. It was a little weird how easily the Bratva took Oliver back after what he did. Because in the first scene they hated him, but then he like kind of apologized to the leader and he let Oliver back in so quickly it just seemed really weird to me. All the attempts to catch the man who wronged Diggle was very interesting with how both scenes turned out and I did really like they made the last decision of what to do up to Diggle to decide whether to kill the guy or not. I also liked that Ragman used his powers to stop and explosion from killing more people, but it was a little sad that his ropes got destroyed in the process and now has to find a way to fix them. The scene where Felicity had to go and get some information out of a guy was really cool with how it was all done and how she used some information from the USB drive she got to get the guy to talk to her. I also really liked the moments with Lance and him getting his position as deputy mayor back. It was also cool when Rene helped Lance prepaid for his interview and Rene talked about how Lance once helped him years ago. Then finally bringing back Susan's quest to learn about Oliver's backstory was a little annoying because it has been so long since it was last brought up. But it was nice that it was discussed how Oliver could be the Green Arrow. And just overall this was a really interesting episode and hopefully, the next one will be better.
