@Taw2541 - My only real problem with Arrow is Felicity/Olicity which I know for sure now having re-watched the first 5 episodes of Season 5 yesterday. I was bored lol. Everything else was perfect except her and even then she's more tolerable than she was during season 4. All they need to do is just end Olicity and start making Felicity funny again and everything is good.

@TheDoctor230 - Sadly retconing is the only option left because I don't think E1-Laurel is coming back and I think E2-Laurel's return is their attempts to remedy their mistakes. I mean E2-Laurel was originally a Flash character and they didn't have to bring her back with E1-Laurel dead and Dinah being introduced, but i think these two factors and the backlash it's recieved is why they are bringing E2-Laurel back.
