Clarity/Detail: Arrow is the darkest and most rugged in appearance of the 4 current shows in the running DCTV universe. The fifth season lightens things up a hair, though its still pretty dark. Details run pretty rampant though, as costumes show every bit of texture and pattern. Surfaces also tack a lick and show their fine damage. Forests, dirt paths and such also come in pretty nicely detailed.
Depth: Movements are free, spacey and cinematic in appearance. The dimensional aspects on display here are decent.
Black Levels: Blacks are very inky and the detail that resonates through them. Despite being a very dark show, detail is not hidden and no crushing was found.
Color Reproduction: Everything errs on the side of dingy, but still manages a bold appearance in its own right. Greens and reds stick out. This season is a bit more bright and colorful than the previous three, if not by that much.
Flesh Tones: Skin tones appear natural and have a consistent look throughout each episode of the season. Some episodes may vary on their given look or lighting angle they take for story purposes. Detail is always high with freckles, wrinkles, blemishes make-up and stubble.
Noise/Artifacts: Clean

Subtitles: English SDH, French, Spanish (Castillian), Spanish (Latino), Dutch, Portuguese, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish
Dynamics: Arrow is a an action-based show and definitely delivers in that aspect. All explosions, gunshots, punches, kicks and arrows being plucked carry a fine layer of detail and distinct follow through on their sound. Effects are heightened but they weave in perfectly with the tracks scoring and vocals.
Height: N/A
Low Frequency Extension: Explosions, arrows piercing things, magical bursts of energy, impaling, guns, vehicle engines and all the like thunderously pound through the sub woofer.
Surround Sound Presentation: From the rear comes mainly ambiance, but some battle scenes and environments provide some interesting action sounds and other kinds of noises to give a good sense of place. The front speakers wonderful connect the action, following it around and accurately depicting pitch and volume.
Dialogue Reproduction: Dialogue is crisp, clear and at an ideal volume.

The episode also marked the finale (?) appearance of Dolph Lundgren as Konstantin Kovar, a role that got bigger as the season went on because Lundgren's performance was impressing producers so much.
And since the actor once again played a big Russian, we had to ask why he never said "I must break you." Especially after finally giving in to the fans' constant desire to hear the joke about Ray Palmer looking like Supergirl's cousin in the "Invasion!" crossover.
“it was super tempting,” Guggenheim admitted. “We did get in, in I want to say 521, ‘he is like a piece of iron,’ which is another line from Rocky IV, far less well-known. I think when in doubt we like to go a little more subtle, but it was very, very tempting. It’s always like this fine line of you want to do the meta jokes, or at least I want to do the meta jokes, but you want to do the ones that aren’t going to take the audience out of the viewing experience. I think sometimes what you’re writing is more amenable to it. I think the nature of the crossover almost invites, at least in my mind, the opportunity for more meta-humor. That, to me, is one of the more fun aspects of writing the crossovers.”
