This season has been a mixed bag. I loved many episodes, the flash crossover & Brandon Routh in this show. But I really hate how they suddenly felt the need to make Det. Lance a A-hole again. It felt so dumb and it turned him from a great character to a near unlikable one again. Yes I understand why he is angry, but they pushed it too far for me to the point it's gotten annoying. I don't like the whole "be my heir" storyline. It seems unreal because Ra's already beat Arrow. I'm also not a fan of how far Ra's Al Ghul went to make Arrow his new heir. For one thing, he never went THIS far for Batman in the comics. Another thing was that it felt like mostly fillers. They could have just went to stabbing Thea rather than doing the whole manhunt episodes which did nothing for me but made me hate Lance. The flashbacks are also getting rather distracting to me because they sometimes kill the momentum the present day scenes have. I especially hated it during the episode which Oliver & Thea were on the island together with Slade. I could go on, but I hate to sound negative. This is a good season, but nowhere near as great as season 2.
