'Arrow' Season 3 Episode 8 'Brave and the Bold' Review

Since this was a special episode I will have 10 top moments instead of 5.

Non Spoiler Review- Best episode of 'Arrow' Season 3 so far. The interconnection between 'The Flash' and 'Arrow' is definitely paying off! I hope for another crossover soon! It was cool to see Flash in a gritty tone and observe the characters noticing the gritty tone of Starling City as opposed to Central City.

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

Highlights of the episode

1. The ending- I loved how the episode ended by not showing the viewers who would win between the Flash and Arrow. I thought it was a great ending that allowed the viewers to make up their own ending. 

2. Flash and Arrow vs Captain Boomerang- It was cool to see Flash and Arrow confront Captain Boomerang and I liked how Flash and Arrow defeated him by allowing Barry to take care of the multiple bombs spread out through the city and allowing Oliver to take down Harkness.

3. Flash saves Arrow- One of the coolest sequences of the episode was when Arrow and Arsenal were fighting Harkness and Barry ran in and saved Oliver.

4. Difference of ideals- I liked the difference of ideals between Oliver and Barry. It had a "Batman-Superman" kind of ring to it. I also liked that Flash and Team Flash noticed how dark Starling is compared to Central City.

5. Barry has practiced what Oliver taught him- I liked that we saw Barry practice surveying the scene before running into a crime scene demonstrating he listened to Oliver. 

6. Diggle Harkness is imprisoned with Slade- I noticed Oliver say that Harkness is imprisoned on the island with Slade so maybe they will break out together and return later in the season. 

7. Flash does salmon ladder- I thought it was hilarious how easily Barry did the Salmon Ladder and how quickly he was doing it as well. 

8. Flash reconstructs boomerangs in a few seconds- It was cool to see Barry assemble the evidence in only a few seconds. i loved the reactio  of Team Arrow when they see Barry do things like this because they aren't used to seeing this. 

9. Flash gets sushi- I thought it was hilarious when Barry suddenly got hungry and ran out and returned eating a bowl of sushi. 

10. Captain lance calls Barry Bart- A subtle easter egg to Barry's son in the comics it was also humorous that Captain Lance forgot his name. 

11. Cisco freaks out in Arrow cave- It was pretty funny to see Cisco geek out at all of Oliver's tech. I liked that Oliver gave Barry his own display case for when he visits Starling and that Cisco made Oliver some new gear.
