Arrow is now FELICITY
The flashbacks are, as they always were, worthless filler to pad the episodes out and cover the lack of actual writing and character progression, and you're supposed to see some obvious parallel and you're expected to think that's some kind of deep writing and that it helped shape Ollie into the man he has become. But aside from Felicity, it's the worst part of the show

>First two seasons
>Flashbacks are about the island
>Season three
>Flashbacks are about Hong Kong
>Season four
>Flashbacks are about the island again, but this time with magic
>Season five
>Flashbacks are to be about Oliver's time in Russia
I don't know about you man, but I feel like that's a lot of stuff to happen in five years.

Why is this a problem?
>Flashback scenes are shot in the 7th season
>Flashback takes place before first episode
>They don't even de-age the actors
>They just make them wear a wig or a funny hat
What idiots. If I made a show, I wouldn't do such a shitty job, that's for sure
