Couldn't even make it through the latest episode. How many times now has Oliver returned to Lian Yu and it's treated like this big thing? Like, cue the powerful music and establishing shots of the island. He's been back like 10 times already, it's been done.

It's like a go to for these hack writers. "Let's bring Oliver back to the island! That'll shake things up!"

It was actually a pretty good episode. The reason it was a big thing this time was because the last time he was there it was blown up, so it being green like nothing happened was odd, and was due to a fluctuation of energy that had also brought certain people back to life. Yao Fei, Eddie Fyers, and Billy Wintergreen, specifically. But the real purpose of the episode seemed to be setting Roy up for his pre-New 52 status quo, which every adaptation since Cry For Justice has done in different ways for the same effect... he lost his arm.
