S2 Oliver was good because he would still kill if need be .
Even in S3 he was willing to go that far .

If I remember right Oliver still offed a couple of people in S2
What a wonderful surprise this episode was. Interesting flashbacks! Callbacks to season 1! Ollie using his mayor powers and green arrow skills in concert! A new team being formed! A cool villain who Ollie literally calls stupid to his face! Ollie grappling onto a helicopter! A parachute arrow!
This was just a fun episode all around. I'm excited to see where this season goes.

Just the Count. Season 2 was the best season. The real difference between season 2 and the later seasons was that Laurel and Thea got the garbage writing, and they were still secondary characters at the time. Also, great villain and sidekick, better action. The killing has little to do with it.

I think having a new team going to be interesting .
Both seeing how they start and who going to be left by the end of the season .

I've been a fan of Arrow since it began but had to give up halfway through last season, it was just painful and frustrating seeing the show I once looked forward to every week slip so far.
Reading the impressions of the new episode in this thread is making me happy, going to watch it when I get home later. I so want Arrow to be good again.

Rag Man's casting stated that he would be a survivor of Havenrock, so he's probably out when he finds out that Felicity's the one who nuked his town.
Who knows how long Wild Dog and Artemis will last.
By the end of the season, it will probably be down to Mr. Terrific and Black Siren.

They need to make Felicity the villain. She gets XPAC level heat from every corner of the net except Tumblr.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
It'd be neat if Felicity tried repurposing Brother Eye for good, but with less than stellar results.
Basically copy and paste that subplot from the Dark Knight but it doesn't work out neatly.

Do we know what role Dolph is playing? He just posted this on FB.
No idea. I just assumed he would be playing Kovar, the dude Oliver is trying to hunt down in Russia.

Is he staring at Thea?
S1 Ollie stares at no one.
(like seriously, Amell's acting was so bad in Season 1 he only stares off to the side in conversations)
If he's not a villain then he likely isn't long for this world.

Alright so if I can skip S4 I'd highly prefer it so:
What do I need to know plot wise
What silly shit happens
How is Felicity walking

What do I need to know plot wise: Diggle joined the army. Thea doesn't want to fight no' mo'.
What silly shit happens: A secret city built underground. A flashback plot that had no purpose.
How is Felicity walking: Robo stuff

Darhk's plan was to control nuclear devices and set them off. He had an elaborate bunker setup for the rich and influential to survive underground.
Team Arrow stopped almost all of the devices except for 1. It went off and thousands of people died. Felicity might feel a little guilty about it.
Darhk murdered Laurel. Oliver murdered Darhk back. Oh, and Oliver is mayor now.
Felicity has some computer mumbo jumbo device in her spine that allows her to walk...it's fucking stupid but whatever.
Felicity decided that she would stay on Team Arrow but her and Oliver can't be together. Thea wants to be normal after all the killing she did. And Diggle decided to join the army again and is overseas.

Laurel is dead and shipped Ollicity with her last dying breath

Are you all tricking me right now
Should probably mention why Diggle decided to join the Army again, was after being forced to finally kill his own brother.
The mid-season finale was where Dhark had Oliver's Limo shot up.
That wasn't the mid-season finale. That was the dumb episode before the "why is there a huge 1 month break" in like March thing.

Oh and Oliver gives Felicity the codename "Overwatch". Oliver says "I was going to go with Oracle but it was taken already".
Oh oh and the guy who has only had two jobs, a failed nighclub owner and a CEO who ran his company into the ground, is declared mayor.

Oh yeah!
Diggle's brother (who he thought was dead) was working for Darhk. They tried to bring him back but Diggle had to put him down for the good of everyone.
Thea had a boyfriend. He died and nobody noticed. Anarky is still obsessed with her but he's sorta awesome now. He showed up at the end of the season out of nowhere and just fucked up everybody's plans. Team Arrow hated him, Darhk hated him, it waa glorious.

Dolph is playing Leonid Kovar we believe, also known as Red Star.

Thought it was boring. Felicity was hot as fuck in that blue dress though. So that's something.

Laurel is coming back to life in episode 100, so hopefully with Geoff Johns taking over he went and read Guggie the riot act to not fuck up Black Cannary anymore to appease a small but aggressively loud minority of shippers on Tumblr that don't care about the story , only the ability to live vicariously through Felicity.
The really best (as in, worst) part of the wheelchair story arc was Felicity regaining the ability to use her feet just in time to walk out on Oliver (can't explain to you why, this is the only keyboard I've left and I don't want to end this chewing it). That was some awe-inspiring organic writing there.
