Arrow tries to change Helena; Tommy takes Laurel out to a fancy restaurant where they run into Oliver and Helena

Ok, I know I didn't really understand Helena's appeal last week but I've got to admit, she really turned it around for me tonight. It's as if I needed her and Oliver to settle into each other and, in this episode, they did. Not only did their chemistry feel a lot more organic, but their emotional attachment made more sense too.

It also introduces some new players (China White!) and major plot twists. Let's discuss below:

Arrow’s “Pilot” episode launched us into the action fast and furious and delivered a first rate, first episode. The story and acting were solid, the action was intense with well-choreographed sequences, and there were enough questions dropped to keep viewers interested for some time.

Greg Berlanti and Mark Guggenheim delivered a well-crafted script, and David Nutter’s expert direction kept the action moving. The cinematography was appropriately dark, gritty and atmospheric where it needed to be. There were enough flashbacks to fill in the necessary blanks so that...
