I've been watching "Arrow" for years, I started the show in 2016 a few months before its fifth season officially began airing. I've been with it through its ups and its downs... but I do love the show as a whole. I love the character of Oliver Queen, even if he isn't technically comic book accurate to the actual Green Arrow. Truth be told, I wasn't a DC fanatic until I gave this show a chance and binged the first season in 3 days, and that wasn't the only time I'd be watching season 1. I've seen it at least 5 times since, and will be watching it once more when the entire series has completed.
Season 1 of "Arrow" is one of my absolute favorites, it holds one of the top 5 Arrowverse villains with the Dark Archer, and this entire episode felt like a love letter to that particular season. Amongst all the darkness with Oliver's return, he brought light back as well, and this episode expertly demonstrated that with the alternate versions of previous characters.
I adored the way they incorporated tiny moments of season 1, through Oliver's return from the pilot to the season finale "Sacrifice" with the final battle between Oliver and Tommy on the rooftop. The Monitor still not truly stating his intentions makes me even more excited for the crisis to come.
If this is the type of episodes we can come to expect from this season then I'm all in. Loved it.
