'Arrow' Season 3 Episode 15 'Nanda Parbat' Review

Non Spoiler Review- I think this thrilling episode is the best episode of 'Arrow' so far because it has engaging drama, constant high quality action scenes throughout the episode, plenty of character development for everyone, as well as another cliffhanger ending. I feel like this episode accomplished all of those which is something I don't feel any other episode of 'Arrow' has done before.

*******There will be Spoilers from this point on*******

Highlights of the episode

 1. Ra's wants Oliver to be his successor- This was a plot twist I didn't' see coming that was almost as big of a plot twist as Oliver's death where Ra's asks Oliver if he would like to become the next Ra's Al Ghul. I'm curious to see what Oliver's decision on the offer given that he is the protagonist. I'm sure Nyssa will not be pleased with that.
2. Thea confesses- Thea reveals to Nyssa and Laurel that she killed Sara. Laurel USS this information to target Malcolm and fails to defeat him and then watches as he is overcome by the League. The gives Nyssa the opportunity to kill her and I thought this really added to the cliffhanger as it cuts from this scene to the Ra's scene. I'm curious to see if Nyssa will take advantage of the opportunity or if she will spare Thea because she realizes it was Malcolm who manipulated her.
 3. Atom Suit in flight- The Atom suit looks awesome and above are two gifs that show the suit taking flight. I think this suit reminds me of an Iron-man suit since it looks like repulsion flight and the suit is mechanical. I'm curious to see what else the suit can do and when Atom will shrink down on the show.
 4. Diggle- Oliver bro moment- When Dingle and Oliver are captured by the League Dingle tells Oliver he would like him to be his best man at his wedding. I enjoyed this scene because we haven't had a scene between Dingle and Olivier for a while.
 5. The action- This episode had constant action spread throughout the episode that was among some of the best action sequences showcased on the show, which is a statement given the shows incredible stunts. Given that this is only the 15th episode , I can't wait fro the season finale because usually the final episode of a season attempts to be the biggest episode with the big action sequences.
