I agree with most of the stuff you say here. Season 1 of Arrow wasn't that great but season 2 was the best by far. I agree that the flashbacks have to get more intresting. Easily the biggest mistake of season 3 was to do Hong Kong flashbacks. Oliver had always said before that he was stuck on the island for 5 years so it seems inconsistent for him to get off and then be put back on. The flashbacks used to be the highlight of the show for me but now there just generic adventures that I don't even care about. You're definitely right about the villain as well. Slade was one of the best  villians on TV and while Ra's al Ghul isn't bad, he just can't live up to what came before him. Lastly, I don't really want Felicity gone but they should abondon the plotline with Oliver. Maybe do the same plotline with Ray Palmer instead. Season 3 can be summed up by this: enjoyable enough to watch but when you apply any thought or logic to it, really stupid.
