Featured reviews
Anyone that thinks that the current quality of Arrow is acceptable is the reason that so many series that should be awesome aren't - *because they don't have to put in an effort to keep fans happy!*
Arrow should be rebooted. All the characters are unlikeable, as they've deviated so much from their original identifiers.
Ollie, who is supposed to be our hero, is a criminal, you can't deny that. He's perjured himself under oath, so "his word" can never be trusted, he allowed a murderer (Laurel) to escape justice, and was complicit in the illegal harbouring of her by Quentin (another corrupt politician using his office for personal use).
This perpetual garbage with the bad guy never being finally stopped is boring, too. Every season! On, and on. "Woops, that didn't work, let's try this, that, the other thing! Felicity! Quickly! Pretend to type really fast on the keyboard and give me another unsuccessful solution!"
And, the biggest detriment to this series is the soap opera drama. That can work with other shows, but as I said, these characters are unlikeable, *so who cares!*
Reboot! They do it in the comics, they did it with Spider-Man movies, they can do it with Arrow television.
Oh, yes -- fire the writers!
The season over all was just on the edge of being good,, there were some episodes were i literally fast-forwarded the whole episode into a 10 minutes time.. but there were a couple of episodes where things were more focused and related to the plot,, but after all with this finale things somewhat paid off even though we still might see "looney" Diaz again next season, but still i think things worked out fine, more than a couple of other conflicts have been resolved like with Loral and the team Aaaand a final surprise losing one of the key characters we had since episode one.
Final thought,, the series is good the way it was back in 2013 the one with Merlyn in and memories of the Island,, Oh i miss that Arrow,, i think by crossing over so many shows together and bringing some aliens and i had to watch a couple of episodes in DC Legends or superwoman or whatever made me a bit agitated so hopefully they don't do that next season.

- TriviaCalling the assassins the Long Bow Hunters is a nod to the limited series "Green Arrow, the Long Bow Hunters" from 1987. The Arrow show owes a lot to this series as it moved the Green Arrow character in a darker direction moving away from trick arrows and gimmicks to traditional arrows, just like the show. It also introduced Shado and Eddie Fyers also key characters in the Arrow series.
- GoofsFelicity is clearly just tapping her fingers on her keyboard at one point, not even pressing the keys while typing.
- Quotes
Quentin Lance: We've come a long way, you and me
Oliver Queen: It's been getting better since the first time you arrested me.
Quentin Lance: You know, I've always been curious - how'd you beat that lie detector anyway?
Oliver Queen: It just comes down to keeping a regular heart rate.
Quentin Lance: I got a pacemaker that does that.
Oliver Queen: I didn't know you had a pacemaker.
Quentin Lance: I got it after that Mirakuru business a few years back. The old ticker couldn't take that pounding. Heh.
Oliver Queen: Yeah.
Quentin Lance: Truth be told, I don't know if I could take it now.
Oliver Queen: Yes, it can, OK, because you're tough. Laurel is tough, too, so trust me and this will all work out.
