I think you missed something. He killed the guys who abducted him. The BBG that he stole the money from specifically said he put his guys in the hospital.
Is there anyone he killed who was not a threat?

It wasn't perfect by any means. I doubt a kid on an island for five years could have built a computer hacking arrow so quickly and it was too obvious in the wall glowing to not have been located by the criminals. It was a better pilot then Smallville.
I really liked it. I have seen this in a couple of places, but really it points to something bigger. Not only can he do that, but on the island he:
We don't know what he learned on the island and what he knew before hand. Now they are going to do island flashbacks every episode so there is going to be a lot revealed, but until then I can only go by what they show us. It could be he learned it, it could be bad writing. It can turn out to be a combination of both.
I can't disagree with that. I do tend to give TV writers a lot of wiggle room, and usually end up disappointed. But, as of what we know right now, he should not be in the shape he is in, with the skills he has.
So, for now I guess it is tune in next week at the same Arrow Time on the same Arrow Channel.

I wouldn't be surprised to find that Oliver was part of a "most dangerous game" type of scenario. Wasn't Deathstroke's mask on that island? He's suppsoed to become a chief anatagonist. I could see Slade Wilson using an island as a human game preserve.I can't disagree with that. I do tend to give TV writers a lot of wiggle room, and usually end up disappointed.

I kinda have to agree with this post in full. I got that same '90210' feeling and was wondering hoe 'o' got his fighting training from.I wouldn't be surprised to find that Oliver was part of a "most dangerous game" type of scenario.

As for the show on the whole, I was hoping for something more substantive. In the pilot, when he grabs the apple off the table, I got this idea that being trapped on a desert island would be a good heroic motivation, because he'd empathize with folks trying to survive on the streets. But right now it just looks like it's a superhero show for the 90210 crowd. On the surface, the show has dark overtones, but in reality the world we're presented so far is full of young, rich, attractive people. So far there are no dirty junkies or homeless people needing help in Starling City.
I find it funny that this Speedy apparently also has a drug problem. Will he start calling her "Arsenal" later?![]()
I have watched 3 episodes of arrow tv show and i like this show. This is the best show of 2012. This is the best show based on Green Arrow.
As I recall, the Speedy of the early 1980s had a heroin habit.

Farther back than that, actually. It was one of comics' first clumsy attempts at "relevant" storytelling.

If there's some way to post the image directly rather than just a link to it, I haven't figured it out yet.
