re: Arrow to end with a shortened 10-episode Season 8 this fall

Its probably time to put the series to bed.

Arrow had an amazing impact on superhero TV shows and the CW. It also had, if we will be honest, lost some pop off its fastball of late.

On one hand I could see them continuing as long as people were willing to give them money, the cast and crew evidently adore one another. On the other, 7 plus years is a long time to stick to a project in Hollywood.

Emily Bett Rickards, as an example, has only played Felicity Smoak for her entire career other then some minor side roles. She's probably ready to try the open waters.

It had a great run and you can't ask for much more then that when it comes to a TV show.
