Just like The Flash, Arrow's season finale left us with a major cliffhanger that will keep us guessing all summer. What happened? Well, you can see the explosive ending for yourselves here...

Arrow's season five finale left us with lots to talk about, including the fact that Slade Wilson/Deathstroke is in his right mind and about to become the anti-hero fans love from the comics. 

However, it was in the episode's closing moments that things took an interesting turn when Prometheus committed suicide and destroyed Lian Yu. That may not sound like too big a deal, but pretty much everyone bar Oliver Queen and his son were on there when it went up in flames, so there's a very good chance that seasons six of Arrow is going to be missing a couple of familiar faces. 

To have everyone survive would be ridiculous and makes pretty much the whole of season five completely pointless. As a result, everyone from Diggle to Malcolm Merlyn and Captain Boomerang could be on the chopping block! Who do you guys think died? Share your thoughts down below.

It would have made more of an impact if we didn't already know the entire cast(minus a few arrowverse villains turned alies maybe) are going to be back next season.

@kunyahk - or you know...its a damn tv show and its pretty obvious they wouldnt kill off 90% of the cast anyways

@kunyahk - Still thought it was a fantastic ep and ended the season on a very high point. It's a comic book show so, of course, anyone can come back from the dead. The only thing I disagree with is that once in a while, GA should understand that it's okay to kill (like when he had to kill to save Felicity). Never in cold blood but come on, if someone has a gun to your kids head you kill them (and yes I understand why he couldn't this time). Other than that I loved this season!

That is how you do finale. Much better than the flash crap.

Both legends and arrow had good finales.

@MexicanCipher - I agree! this is how you should end a season!

@MexicanCipher - Arrow's season was a nice departure from the last few seasons. Do I dare say, even the 'Olicity' romance that came back the last handful of episodes wasn't all that terrible.

Flash after season one has just gone downhill.

Daaamn helluva way the end this awesome season, fam! :D
I really enjoyed this episode, i liked basically everything, the only thing that they could've handled a lil better was the flashbacks.
They obviosly wanted to keep the tension both in the present and in the past, but in doing so, they barely made it to the final moment that we can see in the Pilot, it was kinda useless too, considering we already knew what was going to happen, so they could've added idk...some twists...

Other than that, i LOVED watching Slade kick some ass, al Ghul vs. al Ghul, Malcolm "sacrifice", how things ended with Chase, and Oliver's journey.

On the cliffhanger: Damn, what can i say? Most of them MUST have found a way, but i think someone really died.
Maybe Malcolm? Even if he managed to escape form that mine, he wasn't aware of everything else....

It will be interesting to see what they'll do in the next season, no more flashbacks for them, i hope they don't use flashforward either, so just...go with the main storyline....

Awesome Season tho.

@Doomsday8888 - I hope nyssa, slade, thea, diggle survived.

Maybe felcity is really dead.

@Doomsday8888 - The fact that they didn't show the bomb actually blowing up Malcolm or Captain Boomerang shows me that neither of them died there, except the ninjas.

Finally they blew up that bloody island so that there won't be anymore flashbacks.

But such a treat to have Slade back!

I actually met Manu Bennett in real life. Told him he was a great Deathstroke. He put one hand over his eye and did an impression of Slade for me. Such a cool dude!

@IronMandarin - I dont think the island is gone. Its probaly just a bit of wasteland now.
IronMandarin
IronMandarin - 5/25/2017, 4:00 AM
@MexicanCipher - No doubt. The explosions didn't take out the entire island but the flashbacks have caught up to the start of season 1 so we can finally ditch them
CaptainElrond
CaptainElrond - 5/25/2017, 4:02 AM
@IronMandarin - I hope he goes back at some point at the series finale.

@MexicanCipher - All the graves on death island should be open now.

@IronMandarin - I have tickets for London MCM on Sunday to meet him, glad to hear he's awesome!

@IronMandarin - How does that make any sense? The island was blown up in present day, how would that affect flashbacks? And besides, the flashback showed Oliver being picked up by the boat right before the start of season 1, so the flashbacks would most likely be over anyway.
