We haven't spent enough time in the future, so we weren't emotionally invested enough for this episode to hit as powerfully as it could. Still, it was a fun one, and I hope it's a hint of things to come.March 19, 2019
The episode did a great job of setting the stage for what could be a truly unique spinoff.March 19, 2019
'Star City Slayer' successfully utilised a self-contained plot to delve into some of the season's deeper stories while laying the groundwork for its future ones. Though not perfect, it was a solid attempt at tying everything together.March 19, 2019
"Star City 2040" doesn't pull it all off. The fact that it manages to successfully accomplish any of those things in such a stuffed hour is impressive.March 19, 2019
With the endgame in sight next season, Arrow is taking some interesting turns to try and give fans a peek at how this world will look once the series officially wraps up. Few have been as revealing as this week's episode.March 19, 2019
Arrow Season 7 Episode 16 was set almost entirely in the future, and in a matter of 40 minutes, the hour delivered a lot of answers without feeling heavy with exposition.March 19, 2019
This is a story burdened by too many superfluous characters and an antagonist that recycles the usual tropes. But when the focus narrows to the Queen/Smoak family and their collective emotional trauma, this storyline shows its true potential.March 19, 2019
The hour definitely plays as a backdoor pilot that gives more insight, fills in some blanks, while leaving a few noticeably unfilled, about 2040.March 19, 2019
Overall, this was a perfectly fine episode of the show. I'm still not sure what the point of the flash-forwards is, but throwing Felicity into the mix definitely helped elevate them.March 19, 2019
After years of mediocre flashbacks, it's so weird to have an episode separate from the main story that packs such a punch. "Star City 2040" does exactly what it says on the package.
