I mean where do I start? The casting of Merlyn the Archer? How nearly every episode involved Thea throwing a tantrum and forgetting everything she learnt in the previous episode? The action scenes made for a budget of peanuts as the camera was thrust around in less shaky cam and more earthquake cam to hide you aren't actually seeing anything? The terrible pacing? Ollie and Laurel's non existent chemistry? Ollie's superhero complex, as he contradicted his moralistic bullshit by murdering every fucker who walked around a corner? Constant fan baiting to the comics, without ever really including anything for the comics fans in the show at all? That stupid Lost shit on the island? The pre school dialogue? The filler? The unnecessary side characters? The way it would portray police as villains?

I went in with almost no expectations, since I had only seen a trailer for it prior to watching the show. I liked it, and the season finale was great, but I think it would have served as a better show for the Spectre than Oliver Queen.
