I hated it at first but now it has grown on me. I see where things are going now. Just hope they don't shoot the arrow into the toilet while I'm enjoying it.
Arrow is quickly becoming my new favorite T.V. show. Episodes are well-written, well directed, and leave me wanting to see more. With every plot-twist, comes a new revolution, which is genuinely shocking, nothing is forced or corny. Damaged and Year's End have pretty much raised the bar for the kind of quality this show can produce (though Honor Thy Father, Vendetta, and Trust but Verify are also very good too).
The way the flashbacks are presented is very well done, shown throughout the episode. That way, it feels like there are two stories going on at once, and shows us how Oliver managed to become such a bad-***.
While everybody does a good job, I feel that Stephen Amell is the stand-out, and should get a lot of kudos for his performance; the contrast between the not-caring, playboy attitude and the intense, brooding 'Hood' persona is very-well acted.
In short, Arrow is a modern re-telling that both, people who are first getting into the character and the hard-core fan boys/girls can both watch together. It is DC's best work.
I'll also be sure to buy the S1 boxset and score this September too.

anyone else notice Ollie's mug shot number?
731941, the comic issue he first appeared in (More Fun Comics #73) and the year the comic was released (1941). Just one of the many fan-nods throughout the show.
I've got to watch these. Too much going on on Wednesdays, and weekend viewing time has been reserved for Halloween-fare. After Halloween, it's an Arrow marathon!
