Warning: full episode spoilers follow.
I think it's a little silly that so many shows are advertising their "mid-season finales" these days. Just because a show is going on a holiday hiatus for a few weeks doesn't mean an episode deserves extra hype. But in the case of Arrow's mid-season finale, it certainly deserved the title, and then some. "Three Ghosts" would have been a perfectly decent full season finale. But I'm glad it isn't. And I'm glad the wait for the second half of the season won't be as long as it was during Season 1's hiatus. There were just too many great developments this week to leave viewers hanging.
"Three Ghosts" had a vague Christmas theme going. Aside from the obligatory shots of Moira decorating the Queen family tree and Thea and Sebastian doing a little Christmas shopping, there were the titular three ghosts to Ollie's Ebeneezer Scrooge. The writers didn't really opt for the "Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future" motif from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. That might have been a little too on the nose. Though you could probably argue that they simply appeared out of order, with Shado being past, Tommy being present, and Slade being future (more on that later).
