Arrow boss talks series finale, the episode he'd redo, and biggest writers' room debates
. You know, we debated a lot whether or not to kill Moira at the end of season 2, in large part because we just love writing for Susanna [Thompson] so much.
It’s funny, I would say it was almost everything, quite frankly. It’s hard to come up with specifics that are particularly memorable because it’s just always been a part of our process.
You’ve said that you always thought Oliver needed to die as the final piece of redemption for his murderous origins. What do you hope you captured or conveyed about the idea of redemption? The thing that I’m most proud of, quite frankly, in the series is the fact that Oliver goes from being a spoiled rich a—hole to a mass murderer, to a father twice over, a husband, a public hero not hiding behind a hood, a former mayor. He goes on probably the most severe character journey of any character I’ve ever worked on because we had not just eight years — we really have 13 years of a story.
Oh my God, I’m completely blanking, because this was forever ago. I don’t remember. It’s possible that, knowing me, that idea became incorporated into thecomic that I was writing while we were doing season 3. But I will say we really actually wanted to get Jessica back for the series finale.
