They are usually set around the same time, but not immediatelly after. The end cross-over last year was also mismatched.

This is what annoys me because it's things like this that the people who work on the show notice and then go all "oh my God, you guys are so kind and sweet" but turn a blind eye when the same crowd sends hatemail constantly to their female lead for the most mundane things.Remind me to ignore Twitter

Can someone explain something to me about the last episode?
There was a scene where Oliver and Felicity were in the back of a limo talking about killing Dameon. I could've sworn I've seen this scene earlier in the season, not sure I follow why they showed it to us earlier though.

So i recently decided to continue with season 1 after i had taken a break from it halfway through the season. During that time i have finished other shows like Daredevil season 1 and 2 and Jessica Jones and highly enjoyed them. I have a hard time getting into Arrow. Some of my friends highly recommended me to go see it, because apparently it's awesome. Another friend said i haven't seen Arrow until i see Season 2.
So eh..... it actually gets a lot better in season 2 then? Because.... it's not terrible I guess but i really can't exactly call it good neither. The acting is so so, the way Arrow gets out of certain situations is ridiculous and way too convenient. I can't even begin to compare it to the Marvel shows i mentioned, so i won't, but does it get better?

Yeah. It was earlier in the season, when they eliminated Felicity as a possibility for the death. The scene with Barry was in the premiere, the scene with Felicity was in the episode after the Christmas hiatus.

Episode 14 of season 1 is when it takes off.

Why pay attention to the negatives when the shows doing well. I mean if the show was doing as bad as people here made it out then maybe it would mean something. Can't please everyone.

I sure hope so because i am already getting tired of the nonsense with Laurel, Tommy and Oliver. I'm talking about first Tommy and her being together and then Tommy decides to call it quits because.... what if she ever finds out the truth about Oliver bla bla bla. Nah not a big fan of that. Clearly aimed at younger folks as well is my guess.
So far it's just so damn predictable and some of the acting very unconvincing. There is something that makes me not give up on it completely, i guess the expectation that it will improve quite a bit. I'll find out.

That was one of the best episodes of the season. Not perfect, but it accomplished what it was trying to do. And it gave the entire cast a chance to act out the grief theirs characters were supposed to be feeling. And I actually liked the flashbacks! I feel like that hasn't happened in a few years. They should do more flashbacks that fill in gaps of time from previous seasons, and tie those character moments to the present. Way better than the island bullshit.
Only issues I had were the fake Canary being super silly. And they sorta wrote themselves into a bit of a corner. The scene with Oliver at the grave and in the limo with Felicity seemed odd, given that we actually saw their reactions between the death and the funeral. I guess the writers had already committed to those scenes so they have to put them in, but it almost felt at odds with everything that happened in the episode.
Oh boy...that sounds....oh boy.

You seem in line with most of the people here so you'll probably hate the show going forward. So just stop watching and pick up something you actually have interest in yourself.I sure hope so because i am already getting tired of the nonsense with Laurel, Tommy and Oliver.

Nah i am going to give it a chance. Let's see whag season 2 is all about. It's just that these typical soapy things really take away from it. Just now in this episode, Oliver let's Laurel know he still has feelings for her, Laurel is shocked. Laurel seems to over Tommy quite easily and before you know it she says because of what Tommy said she discovered she still had feelings for Oliver too. Oh pleaaaaase. People actually like that?
Other things in this show i do enjoy though. The story about his mom, dad, the undertaking basically. The flashbacks. Those are well made. And i can't hate on the action either, but the drama and romance. Sjeesh.
Oh good lord, in this episode Oliver visits Tommy and tells him that Laurel can decide for herself who she wants to be with and that she chose Tommy. Basically he's trying to set things right for the two of them.... but a bit later on he visits her, declares his love once more and sleeps with her. Wow.
Yeah i don't know how long i can handle this.

Everyone being a hero does turn into overkill. Imagine if Roy was still around? I agree, a smaller number is easier for them to manage. These shows don't have the budget for big team fights. Legends of Tomorrow does the same *pew pew Firestorm explosion Canary stick fight* in all their big battles.
Oliver and Laurel had more chemistry in that flashback than he normally does with Felicity. Mr. Queen chose...poorly.

My money's still on Tommy somehow getting resurrected as the S5 big bad, no matter how convoluted this show has gotten since S1

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Tommy as a Season 6 big bad makes more sense to me because then you can have flashbacks of Tommy from the first season to compare against.
It'd be like poetry.

If season 6 of this show keeps up the flashback structure but starts having flashbacks to events from the earlier seasons of the show I'm going to be amused and annoyed.

My current "how this could happen" theory is keeping with the rumors that the Multiverse might be a continued presence in Supergirl and the Arrowverse shows going forward.
Malcolm cares more about Thea than he did about Tommy because he knows Tommy isn't his. Tommy's real dad is Thomas Wayne. One of the Tommys in the Multiverse is Owl Man.
And since Arrow isn't shy about borrowing Batman villains, he could have the Talons of the Court of Owls as his henchmen.

If Tommy were the big bad, he'd spend the whole season watching other big bads step on his evil schemes.

It will be revealed that he was actually ressurected shortly after his death and they will run a montage of him watching from the shadows everytime Oliver had sex with somebody. All that montage to Radioactive tune of course.
What pairing did you have in mind?
Not sure. But I'm sure Wozzly have some in mind.

Amusing.

Gotham is likely already introducing them. So, no thanks.
Indeed, they have tainted enough stuff.

People are pinning for Tommy Hood, but it wouldn't work. The whole source of conflict is that Batman doesn't kill, while Red Hood does. Oliver has no such problems.
It's been four season. I think the time is right to finally move into the damn Outsiders War. With so many heads of clans you could have a slew of awesome villains without a need to stretch out anything, while everything still feeding into main story.
Especially since they could fix the many wasted opportunities Lemire had on that story

I was actually thinking about this last night. It's sorta bizarre that they've never attempted to adapt any famous Green Arrow storylines on Arrow. Unless they have and I just didn't notice. I mean, obviously the show would have to take some liberties. But why have they never just used a good Green Arrow story as the spine of the season, and then just built around it? Come to think of it, what have they actually taken from the comics? Cupid. I don't read Green Arrow regularly, but I can't think of anything else. There have to be more Batman connections than Green Arrow ones, I'd bet on that.
I'm actually liking Ruve Darhk as a villain a little more than Damien.The idea of someone using (mostly) legitimate means to take down Arrow is more interesting to me than having a bunch of nameless goons. Ruve is mayor of the city, and is using the entire police force to smear and hunt down vigilantes. That's pretty badass.
Taiana is straight out of Year One, so was China White. Shado, Fyers, Komodo, Merlyn, countless others. Plenty of characters from the comics, just few direct adaptations.

Ah, that's true. I'm forgetting all those baddies. It feels like they did more one off antagonists back in the day. Maybe it's just my imagination.
At the same time, she made for an interesting addition. Straight adaptations are a bit pointless. There are comics for that.
