Honestly nothing good came out of season 3. Sara's still dead (for now anyway), he's lost his friendship in Diggle, he lost Roy, his sister is pretty much traumatized after being murdered, and he can no longer be the Arrow.

I'm pretty sure that they said now that we've seen how a light hearted comic-book show can do (flash), that Arrow would take a turn for the less grim-dark in S4

That person will not be me.” Rocksicles fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Jun 3, 2015 |

Only just got around to finishing this season. It was... fine. I think that on the whole it was underwhelming but with some bright spots. Convoluted though it is I like the Malcolm arc, but there was a feeling that maybe the writers just wanted to get through that last run of episodes. Lance suddenly drinks again now? Way to just throw that in there randomly. I would've preferred it if he has the bottle but it's unopened. At least Laurel can give pretty much the same speech and it doesn't seem so lazy. And poor Felicity. She's doing what she can with these lines, but they've just accentuated the worst parts of that character. I can't take any more big emotional speeches. In isolation it's fine, but half this season that's all she's done. All in all though it feels like a bit of a reboot. There's a finality to some of that last episode, even with some lingering threads for when they come back.

Am I the only person on this website that thinks that the Van Dyke is the stupidest part of the Green Arrow? Like I enjoy that he's quippy and liberal and fun in the comics, but the Van Dyke and the Robin Hood hat are literally the worst things in the world. I'm just so confused about how everyone in this thread can think the show can be redeemed solely by having Stephen Amell having the stupidest facial hair. The stubble he has is perfect as is. That being said, I do hope, like Guggenheim sort of alluded to, that Season 4 is much more light-hearted and fun. I started rewatching Seasons 1 and 2 after the Season 3 finale and they were just so much better. The fight scenes were actually sometimes phenomenal, dynamic, and exciting, and the CW-romance stuff wasn't absolutely terrible. Just get charismatic characters that I want to watch. I never ever thought this show would reach a point where Laurel is great and Felicity should be written off, but here we are. I don't think the show is doomed like some people here, more like it was just a bump in the road. They'll overcome it, and I have high hopes for season 4. My only worry is that with the introduction of Legends of Tomorrow, somehow the budget is going to be even lessened to the point where the whole show takes place solely in the Arrow Cave because they can't afford anything else.

Laurel was great because she had a decent arc and basically none of it had anything to do with boyfriends, but with kicking the bad guys butts instead and entering into that whole world of superheroing. Meanwhile, Felicity basically just cried a lot and bemoaned her relationship with two dudes

I'm with you. People in this thread calling for that ridiculous facial hair in a reasonably-serious show baffles me.

Don't think I saw it mentioned here yet, but Lexi Alexander (who directed Punisher: War Zone) said on twitter that she's going to be directing an Arrow episode next season. Eagerly awaiting Oliver hanging upside down from a spinning chandelier firing nonstop arrows at people.

 This does not look good. Sorry. I don't know, I don't care whether or not Arrow is a "reasonably-serious show" or not. The facial hair is dumb and honestly just makes him look like Cary Elwes. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it just over-emphasizes the Robin Hood aspect to unnecessary levels. Edit: How long has dogbutton been a smilie? Because that's a great smilie.

They should just do a quick throw-away reference where Olli comes back from vacation w/ Whineypants McNumberPuncher where he's all tanned up and sporting the most classic of Ollie-beards whereupon the rest of the characters take one look at it and be all "hell naw" and he shaves it off in the first act. Much like how they did the boxing glove arrow gag. They really need to just stop with all the fake hair and beards and flashback within a flashback poo poo as of next season. Just. Stop.

I certainly don't want to harm Thea but she was smack dab right in the epicenter of a ton of plot/characterization clusterfucks this season. A statement that I'm about to say with my own actual words: I still don't actually dislike Felicity and am rooting for her to be great again.

In 2011 Oliver Queen was send to prison by an ARGUS court for a crime he didn't commit. He promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Lian Yu underground. Today, still wanted by various government agencies he survives as a bow wielding vigilante. If Star City has a problem, if no one else can help, and if he can pull himself away from relationship drama, maybe you can be saved by... The Arrow.

It's absolutely our right and duty to complain about the quality of the flashbacks, but it's pointless to demand that the show outright stop the flashbacks before season five is over. They're part of the show. They're going to happen. The most we can hope for is for them to recover from the cringeworthy state they've degraded into this year.

There was a time they could've stopped doing the flashbacks and that was this last season. Once the fight of Slade ended, they could've just had Ollie go back to the island and just be stuck there, but they didn't. While season 3 flashbacks didn't grab me as much as 2, I didn't particularly mind them. There's no going back, though. There's gonna be more flashbacks.

I disagree, I want to see flashbacks in season six, too. That'd cut their filming schedule in half, too, since they can just reuse footage from season one!
