After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the North China Sea. He returned home to Star City, bent on righting the wrongs done by his family and fighting injustice. As the Green Arrow, he protects his city with the help of Team Arrow with former soldier John Diggle, computer-science expert Felicity Smoak, his vigilante-trained sister Thea Queen, Deputy Mayor Quentin Lance, brilliant inventor Curtis Holt, and his new recruits, street-savvy Rene Ramirez and meta-human Dinah Drake. Oliver has finally solidified and strengthened his crime-fighting team only to have it threatened when unexpected enemies from his past return to Star City, forcing Oliver to rethink his relationship with each member of his “family”.
When Arrow's flashback stories work, it's because the events of the past are directly tied to the present - not because of events of the plot, but because of the inner lives of the characters.
An eye roll worthy plot at best...Yet, here we are, and the writers have to find an interesting way to get us out of it without causing an annoying level of drama...
Not everything in the episode works necessarily, but it's still a fairly compelling hour that sees the return of one of the show's best assets: Manu Bennett's Slade.
Deathstroke Returns was solid in its bubble even if it didn't advance the main arc. I like these more self-contained and two-part stories even if Dinah's feels like a rerun.
Hopefully the conclusion of this two-parter makes the somewhat slow pacing worth the wait...[this] storytelling decision certainly messes with the pacing of the show.
Rarely is an episode of Arrow this divided in quality. On the plus side, Slade Wilson's return lived up to the hype, with Manu Bennett tapping into both the tragedy and fury of his character...
Not only are we treated to an Ollie-Deathstroke pairing but all the flashbacks are related to Slade's time on the island years ago with his son. Cool. But I also found myself sort of lost as far as where Arrow is going in its sixth season.
