I actually hope it's time for SuperMax if he's being outted this season.
Slade was sort of already hinting at it.

Don't think a arc like that would make sense this season .
Side note i wonder how long star city would last if oliver end up in jail for a while.
Nope, Slade said Talia went back to get her. So she's with the League now.

EDIT mess up the person lol.
Guess no redemption arc for her.
Pretty much the same.
She doesn't deserve one
Probably not but she'll probably get a new costume at last.
If Slade can get one, anyone can get one.
Great premiere!
- Old Wild Dog outfit > new outfit
- Evil Laurel is great, & way better than old Laurel. And so stunning *swoon*
- Diggle needs to get checked ASAP, its gonna come back to bite him.
- Thea 😬
- Olicity is fine. Seems like background stuff.
- Oliver getting Rene another hearing brought the feels.
I can only rank it above Flash since I dont watch Supergirl & Im behind on Legends.

The quality between this and Flash continues to show. But I'm still conflicted on William's mom. Did they ever show her body, or only Thea's? Unless they did, I'm not convinced that she's dead.

Well she live long enough to tell oliver to take care of the kid so i say she dead .
If she was a bigger side character i could see maybe they bringing her back but she is not .

I'd agree with this ranking with the addition of supergirl at 4th
It was the Miracuru

Slade wasn't that crazy before. he was a hardened killer with a WHOLE bunch of psychoses (much like Flashback Oliver. Then he was emotionally manipulated, and injected with Crazy, and kept getting his regular shots of Crazy.
*Chase, on the other hand, is naturally crazy with no artificial additives or growth hormones.

The writers are setting up for Slade to betray Oliver again which will shock Oliver because how can his bro betray him while audience just pretends to be shocked

It was something I saw lurking the Arrow reddit page this summer. Don't remember what their source was - just posted it here because the events of this episode lined up perfectly with that rumor.
First off, I'll say that the action directing itself the past few seasons or so has really gotten better. There was a point where I felt it was lazy, maybe three seasons ago when Flash and Legends quickly established their own styles and Arrow rethought how to approach it and give it something more unique than what those can offer - now you see good camera work, stunts and long takes that allow fight scenes and stuntwork to really be appreciated. This premiere continued that trend, good work all around by those teams. They can't rely on computer effects and it's really nice to see good action work on screen (and consistently, too) today.
The writing is utter garbage, though. We have, again, a plot about Diggle maybe having PTSD of some sort, another plot of the Arrow's identity being revealed and another friggin Det Lance troubled with his daughter(s) and trying to deal with that while not drinking. How many times are we going to these wells? That water has to be dried up.
And boy they kept bringing up "the graduation" every single conversation, didn't they? Who cares? Even they didn't, we didn't even see this "graduation" they kept bringing up like it's this really big and important thing.
A highlight in the story, though far from in depth: Oliver trying to deal with his son is a nice take and potentially a good character arc for him and his son. I feel this could potentially go somewhere, at least for a first-half or third of the season and maybe get a little more into the character on being a father-figure. Other than that, a lot of familiar shit that I'm not too keen on right now. I also like Evil Laurel even if it's familiar. She just fits better as a villain.

They're going to pull another back-from-the-dead too, you know, because Thea was barely touched upon

Oliver could've just pardoned him.
Oliver got them Argus connections, he's gonna be fine, plus regarding the promo
why would the FBI investigate him? There should be some higher up thar prevents that considering they basically know who he is, yeah I'm still miffed that they had government people knowing who Barry was in the crossover

Supergirl, Flash, and Arrow premiere were meh.. so now that they have ran out of Oliver's island flashbacks, gonna get burning island flashbacks all season...yikes..
I mean, the burning island flashbacks seemed necessary for understanding who did & didnt make it off the island & why.
Dont think its a season long thing. Its only been an episode lol.
They are already caught up with the burning island flashbacks.

At Oliver's press conference:
"Yes, I have a shocking secret to confess to. I am a leather fetishist."

Barry Allen. He messed with the timeline again. All of the bad guys killed in season 1 are coming back to life.

Black Siren was the main baddie in the opener. And boy is she bad. But she's obviously working for someone.

I totally forgot this show was back. Why the hell are Flash and Legends on the same night with a day gap for Arrow?
Also, have the first episodes of the current seasons of all three shows been promising?
