Ollie sends out a League Wide memo about how "times are tough" and "we're all going to have to make cutbacks". Coincidentally, he hires some new talent that happen to be Diggle, Felicity, Thea, and a recently returned Roy Harper. And those are the last remaining members on the League payroll.

No one knows what is going on in the flashbacks. We've learned that Oliver liked wearing really bad-looking wigs in his college years.:lol:

Silly me, I thought Oliver was going to learn sword skills or the art of zen meditation for archery in his Hong Kong flashbacks. Instead he mindlessly runs around with a young kid.

They really have to tighten up the flashbacks next season. Season two had awesome flashbacks because both Sarah and Deathstroke were in them.

Green Batman is a poor replacement for [Black] Batman. He doesn't even have an Arrow-Car.:lol:

I guess we'll never get an Arrowmobile since this is a television budget.

Truly the best thing that could happen to this season is a reset by Flash. I hate the flashbacks it is too dreary, too many questionable motives, just lifeless.

or it might be like the sarcophagus from SG1 and it's repeated use that causes issues

Or it would be ridiculous like Dallas and the whole season that got turned into a dream at the end

He also magically learned martial arts. Seriously, I don't recall any advanced fight training during this season's flashbacks. When did he suddenly become a semi-competent fighter?

Slade and Shado/Shado's father taught him when he was on the island in S1.

They gave him some basic training, yes, but he wasn't all that competent. Certainly not to the degree he showed in the truck (even if Katana still had to save him). It really pisses me off that these flashbacks never had Katana and Maseo take Ollie's fighting skills to the level he displays in the present day scenes.

And ended all continuity with Knots Landing. I'm assuming for this to work, the timeline reset would have to occur during at two-part crossover event, in case someone who watches Arrow doesn't watch Flash.
