Arrow: 10 Most Disappointing Episodes Ever
6. Season 4 Episode 18: Eleven Fifty Nine
Speak of the devil, and they shall appear.
Laurels death is the focal point of why this episode falls flat on its face. The entire season had built up to a death of a main character, with multiple episodes teasing deaths, such as Felicity almost being killed in episode 9. It came as a thudding disappointment, that the character they chose to kill was the least interesting, and the one with barely any focus in season 4.
The execution of the death was somehow worse than its concept. Laurel was stabbed very uneventfully, but it looked like she would live, as the doctors had her in surgery. However, she suddenly dies with no reason or warning. It comes across as a bad joke.
The rest of the episode doesn't help matters. Poor choreography, hammy acting, and a hopelessly predictable plot twist, bog down an already doomed story. This could've been a highlight of the entire show, but unfortunately ends up as one of its lowest points.
