I think we can all agree that Arrow's fifth season has so far been the best thing since... Well, Arrow's second season. The show has gone back to its season 1 roots, with the return of serial killer Oliver, and the introduction of a villain who wants him to pay in blood for the people he has killed.

This all came to a head in the mid-season finale, with Prometheus tricking Ollie into killing Felicity's boyfriend, and the episode ticked all the boxes. The choreography is better than ever - that one shot of Prometheus's throwing star splitting Ollie's arrow in two is better than the entirety of Seasons 3 and 4 - and we even got some flashbacks we care about.

The show has taken a huge step in putting the mysticism of Season 3 and the soap opera of Season 4 behind it and starting afresh, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.

Something as simple as filling in a few plot-holes will be enough to paper over some cracks, while more extreme measures are warranted in others. And that's not to mention that the season hinges heavily on how the show deals with Prometheus's reveal, and [SPOILER]'s return.

Arrow Season 5 has made some improvements, but there's plenty that still needs to happen when it returns from the mid-season break.
