Can the arrow ever been the ordinary Oliver Queen again? just when he thought the battle against crime has been minimized to the lowest level, a new enemy is born.
The twin twist is always a bit of a slippery trope... However, "Arrow" plays it pretty straight with May, making this new plot point a moral lesson for Oliver Queen.
At its most ambitious, Arrow has ideas that would take skill to pull off with a blockbuster movie's budget, let alone with the relatively limited resources of a CW show.
Producers have made no secret of the fact that... "Public Enemy" would completely change the DC drama as we know it, and by Grodd, they weren't kidding. What more insanity can Arrow Season 3 offer after the central shock?
"Public Enemy" emerges as one of the strongest installments of the season. It's the exact type of episode needed at this late stage in the year, as Arrow goes a long way towards really ramping up the stakes and effectively demolishing the status quo.
