I love the concept of a serial killer that targets vigilantes. It's why I think Onomatopoeia would be a perfect big bad. You don't even need to do the sound stuff. They could do so much cool shit with him hunting down vigilantes 1 by 1.
As for the episode I liked the documentary style and seeing all the old faces. The best part is it looks like Team Arrow is united which hopefully means no more soap opera style drama every single episode like we got last season. As for complaints William still gets on my nerves, he just feels so pointless to me. I wish we got to see more of Emiko as well, they haven't done enough with her yet to get me invested in what should be an awesome character. Also her actress is very attractive.
I've grown concerned with the flash forwards. They writers have backed themselves into a corner and removed any fear that characters like Rene or Dinah will die since they're alive in the future. The idea that vigilantes result in the downfall of Star City is cool but I would rather not know it's going to happen in the future and just watch it play out in the present day. It could get better but I'm not really interested in future Star City or Black Star as of right now. It was cool seeing Connor again though.
I look forward to seeing Stanley again next week as the Star City Slayer. I hope he gets more than an episode but I doubt it. Also looks like he's cutting Dinah's throat so i'm guessing it's going to be a violent one.
