For an episode titled 'The Longbow Hunters', I don't feel like we got to know a whole lot about them as people/characters. And is it just me or did you expect a completely different take on them? For some reason, I was hoping more for a menacing but also deceptive and mysterious angle to these foes. Not just a group of 3 thugs who don't show anything all that original.
Granted, I did enjoy the 'Silencer' character and thought those were uniquely shot and executed scenes that made for some fresh fight sequences. Unfortunately, the rest of the episode outside of the prison remains relatively dull and uninteresting. For one, there are far too many characters to keep track off and create individual plots for. I could care less for anything involving this version of Laurel. I still can't get over the fact that this world thinks Laurel and Tommy are still alive.
It's becoming increasingly clearer that William is the new Green Arrow from the future. Or i should at least say that it seems like its the most plausible at this particular time. I sure hope they don't incorporate time travel, but having him discover his bow and arrow on the island and him mention "not knowing how to shoot a bow" makes me think Roy will train him, or something along those lines. Silly much?
The prison scenes were fine, but a step down from last week. I really wonder what the end game of him being in prison is. How will he get out? Because I sure hope that it's handled logically and we don't make convoluted choices just to get him out before the crossover, I'm looking at you Arrow showrunners. And overall, this episode was a clear step back from the solid opening from the premiere.
6.7/10
