PLOT
When presumed-dead billionaire playboy Oliver Queen returns home to Starling City after five years stranded on a remote island in the Pacific, he hides the ways the experience has changed him. As he reconnects with those closest to him, including his sister, Thea, Oliver appears to be the same wealthy, carefree bachelor they've always known. At night, flanked by his devoted friend, Diggle, Oliver uses his secret persona -- that of a vigilante -- to right societal wrongs and transform the city to its former glory.


OVERVIEW 
DC is great at making successful series, we've seen so from Gotham, The flash, Smallville etc. Arrow is also one to add to that list of being successful although they have so many holes in their storyline. They try to cover up these mistakes but they do so in such a manner that is so obvious to the viewers. 
I have a question for the directors of DC, Berry Allen went to the past to save his mother causing the entire timeline he was previously living in to be erased (we saw that in the flash season 3 trailer), does it also affect Arrow because they often crossover? If it doesn't then we'd be seeing the current Star city interacting with the alternate timeline Central city.........confusing right? 😰😰
Oliver Queen action as the vigilante was once justified because he was a young billionaire and so didn't need to work a day in his life for money, but now he is BROKE!! as shit, why the hell isn't he rather looking for a paying job. Felicity may have been funding him for his fruitless campaign when they were engaged since she acquired the head seat at Palmer tech. But now she has been impeached from the board so how is Oliver still getting money for all his vigilante equipment. πŸ˜’πŸ˜’ These are little things they should consider.
Also there was a point in the story where Oliver called on a magician to help heal Sarah after she was reborn from the Lazarus pit. That part that really amazed me was that he summoned the magician with a tattoo he was given back on the island, check the previous episodes of Arrow that tattoo was nowhere on his body πŸ€”πŸ€”
In season 4, I still don't understand why Damian dark wanted to destroy everything πŸ˜•......like TF. He was going to launch missiles everywhere all in the name of cleansing the earth (why are all villains psychopaths nowadays). By doing so would he have died along with the rest of the world because he wasn't under the dome when the countdown began. And how convenient is it that while Dark wanted to destroy the earth so did Zoom in The flash 😢😢
In season 3, when the league of assassins came to Star city and started destroying stuff, Arrow's gang (Speedy, Black canary, Diggle) were all fighting and defeating them. HOW!!!! The league of assassins was where Sarah was trained to fight, so are you telling me that Diggle, Black canary or Speedy (even all together) would ever defeat Sarah πŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜’.

TobyTale rating: 7.5/10
