'Arrow': 150th Episode Photos Released
The CW has released photos from "Emerald Archer", the twelfth episode of Arrow's seventh season, and the 150th episode overall.
The photos provide the first look at the show reaching its newest milestone -- and doing so in a delightfully unexpected way. The episode is poised to feature a documentary-style take on Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) and his allies and adversaries, as a documentary crew follows them and interviews them throughout their crusade.

Even with such an unconventional set-up, it sounds like the episode will be a pretty significant one, both with Kelsey Grammer serving as the documentary's narrator, and a new character supposedly being introduced.
"When we knew our 150th episode was coming up, we obviously wanted to do something special," showrunner Beth Schwartz told ComicBook.com. "I know for our 100th episode that we were all very pleased with how that turned out and it felt so nostalgic and perfect, and so we knew we kind of had to try to one-up ourselves. The room came up with the brilliant idea to film it documentary-style, and it allowed us to use all of our favorite characters from past and present in this format, which was something that was really important to us because as you're hitting such a milestone, you want to see those characters that made the series what it is."
