When Oliver is in the suit he is of course awesome but gets his ass handed to him on a couple of occasions by the minor villain of the episode and someone close to him (which I’ll talk about in a minute). We are seeing the evolution of his dark character continue. The main thing we can take away from these scenes is that Oliver has finally done away with that awful hair and is now sporting his traditional buzz-cut, oh and that he also has no qualms about killing people when the situation requires it. The flashback sequences show Oliver infiltrating a heavily armed team on Lian-Yu, for a reason that still hasn’t been revealed. We don’t get to see a lot of Olicity in this episode but when we do it is awesome. They are being cute every chance they get, complete with Oliver making Felicity’s lunch for her first day back at work. His relationship with Felicity still seems strong and not strained by him returning to his bow-wielding ways.

Mr Queen has a lot going on in this episode. Either way I like this new take on the character. I am still unsure whether this is because Stephen Amell is actually a really good actor or whether he has had some acting lessons between the seasons.

You can actually see him experiencing emotions, which is more than could be said for him in the previous seasons. Oliver appears to have much more of a personality when he is in the hood and when he is out of it. In typical Arrow style, the action is ramped up straight away and almost every character has some serious stuff to deal with! Here’s our rundown of what’s happening with our favourite vigilante team! Arrow is well and truly back with the second episode of the season.
