Ups...

9. Revisiting Old Stomping Grounds

The Arrow installment of Crisis featured Barry attempting to traverse his way through the Speed Force and, in the process, through the memories of his friends. This resulted in a multitude of flashbacks, as the heroes found themselves revisiting moments like the Elseworlds conclusion, a fight between Ray and Oliver, the Invasion! conversation between Oliver and Supergirl and, most poignant of them all, an emotional conversation between Diggle and Laurel on the night that Sara was killed.

Not only was this a neat way of revisiting some of Arrow's best moments - especially since the show is about to bow out - it was a highlight reel of sorts for Oliver Queen. Granted, he wasn't in every moment, but all of it happened because of him - and that made it all the more effective.

A subtle but memorable farewell to the show - and the man - who started it all.
