Arrow - Season 6 Episode 04: Reversal
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”.

This episode failed to generate a compelling conflict, coasting mainly on the Ollie/Felicity role reversal and some great action scenes. The series needs to do a better job of establishing the stakes and the general direction for this season.

Diggle as the Green Arrow works if he doesn't just feel like a placeholder. Similarly, Oliver sidelined only works if the show fully commits to it. In last night's "Reversal," it feels like neither element fully happens.

This episode was a great reminder of why Emily Bett Rickards is so essential to the show's chemistry, and why she deserves more storylines in her own right.

Reversal had some issues, but some big reveals helped it through most of the rough patches.

...the writers have really nailed how to explore this new-old couple without it dominating the story or becoming to melodramatic.

Having a well-known actor with a knack for playing oddballs arrive in a superhero show isn't automatically a cause for celebration. So much still depends on writing, and on the shape of the season.

"Reversal" was an incredibly enjoyable episode particularly for Felicity as well as Black Siren.

It is a clever idea, it just would have worked better with a less far-reaching mission. Arrow doesn't tend to do as well when it extends the stakes of its missions beyond Star City.

In the beginning of season five it was difficult to believe that Arrow would ever find its stride again. Now, at the beginning of six, it's almost hard to remember the rough patches the show had in the past.
