Arrow hasn't had this kind of palpable energy, at least not consistently, since its excellent fifth season. Perhaps not coincidentally, that season ended with Arrow blowing everything up.

Arrow's third season is one of its most uneven (albeit interesting) ones, so following up the excellent season 8 premiere with an episode that draws heavily on season 3 is a weird flex. That being said, it works for the most part.

This was a very rote episode of Arrow -- we've seen many like it and while mechanically it's fine, I was expecting more.

Another strong offering, it accomplished exactly what it set out to do -- once again making us all nostalgic along the way.

As of now, Amell is jumping ably up that acting salmon ladder, and exceeding expectations.

"Welcome to Hong Kong" featured some strong action scenes, but might have featured the best performances throughout any episode of the series.
