I wonder if they are going to do an analogue to the Bagley drawn Jewel flashback issue.

Tonight's episode of Constantine was kind of weird as they told an Eclipso story without ever using the name Eclipso.

Was Arrow always this poorly paced and annoying to watch? Did Manu Bennet's rugged mug blind me to the dismal and shoddy writing last season? This season's been a slog to get through but all the post-break episodes have felt like I'm watching a later season of Smallville. I've never seen the CW wasting disease hit a show so early.

I never got into Arrow myself, but I know people who really like it. What I wonder is how many members of Arrow's writing and production staff left the show to start up The Flash? I can think of several examples (TNG to DS9, Buffy to Angel to Firefly off the top of my head) where the creation of a spin-off drained too many of the best people to the new show with detrimental effects on the parent show.

This season's been a slog to get through but all the post-break episodes have felt like I'm watching a later season of Smallville. I've never seen the CW wasting disease hit a show so early. There's been a definite noticeable decline in quality this season. The Flash seems more on par with the direction Arrow was heading during season 2. I don't know why S3 pumped the brakes so hard, but it isn't like they didn't warn us before it started. The showrunners pretty much said they were pumping the brakes and dialing it back from S2. What is making this season worse though is that while S1 was also kind of really slow, the flashbacks were at least important to the story in a more obvious way. We had no idea what happened to Ollie on the island, so each flashback was a revelation of something, and was sometimes directly tied into what was happening in the present. S2 flashbacks were similarly relevant. In S3, they flashbacks have seemed kind of irrelevant so far. Maseo and Katana have only been important because they showed up to help Ollie after the duel, so prior to basically the beginning of the second half of the season, almost nothing in the flashbacks has been relevant. Ollie working for Waller and being forced to torture people? ARGUS and Waller have barely figured into anything in the first half of the season so far. The OMEGA/ALPHA vials? Nothing to do with anything happening in the season so far. White haired lady whats-her-face? Irrelevant to the present story arc so far. The little kid? Irrelevant. Having nearly half of most episodes devoted to poo poo that seems to have nothing to do with what is going on in the present is hamstringing the hell out of the show. I was actually really frustrated two episodes ago when they kept flashing back to Maseo and Ollie trying to get his wife back.

...Can the flashbacks not just be a story in their own right? Does every single thing that happened to Oliver have to be specifically relevant to the A-plot and in that order? And even leaving that point aside, the flashbacks have been making a pretty obvious point that Waller's what caused him to lose his humanity, and the group in Starling is what helped him gain it back. Building to the question if he's willing to sell his soul again to kill Ra's, even to save his sister.

Flashbacks as a literary device usually have a specific purpose. Telling two separate stories that are unrelated but involve the same character in two different time periods is bad storytelling. The flashbacks have obviously been building toward a point, but the problem is that the pacing of them has been abysmal. Which is the top complaint of this season, besides some generally wonky writing.

The flashbacks have been pretty lacking this season and I think now should have been the time to spread them around other characters more. The present stuff has LOADS of good/fun/cool moments but what leads up to them is muddled, character-wise, in a way the show has not been before.

Yes but you never run consecutive flashbacks that advance at the same pace as the main story because when you do you get the total idiocy of every solution Oliver has ever needed occurring exactly 5 years earlier.

They basically had so much to cover in season 2 (Slade, magic goo, introducing The Flash, that dumb business subplot with Ravager, Dig and the Suicide Squad, Moira, etc.) that they had to do it all incredibly quickly, so it was all fast-paced and dramatic and worked really well. This season they've obviously tried to keep up the pace but didn't have enough content so it ended up being just a ton of filler with no point. There are still some cool episodes but it's just nowhere near as good as season 2 because they're trying to do the same thing with much less content.

That lack of forward thought has been my major complaint of the season. Merlyn can travel from Starling to the Himalayas, climb a mountain, and make it back in like a day; Merlyn mentions having killed the man who killed his wife, but almost before he can get the words out he's proven wrong. Both of these examples should've been stretched over few episodes; Merlyn found the bloody sword! What will he do with it? Merlyn finds out he killed a (relatively) innocent man! Won't that make for interesting tension between him and Thea, or a neat rivalry with him and Brick? No, just shoehorn all this potential conflict and development into five minutes of quick scenes and wash your hands of it as soon as the characters aren't on screen anymore.

That's why writing is a skill and not some kind of binary thing you either do or don't do. Hence why a literary device can be used either improperly to varying degrees or why a story can be interesting but have issues with pacing. Which is what the negative criticism is here. No one is saying that every flashback needs to be directly related to the episode its in, all I am saying is that maybe they should cut back on Ollie flashbacks if they are that dry on material. They could have summed up almost everything we've seen in his Hong Kong adventures in like one episode. Waller is mean and made Ollie mean. Maseo eventually became a friend. Maseo loves Katana. Honestly, I straight up don't even remember what the significance of the MacGuffin they are looking for is anymore. It's been so drawn out and inconsequential to anything that I do not remember if they even explained wtf the Omega/Alpha virus vial things are anymore.
