Arrow's best season, thus far, has been its second season. Very good how they took the whole storyline with Slade Wilson, tying into the past history with Oliver Queen on the island, and then brought it all together throughout the season, building to the climax.

The third season had its moments, but doesn't really tie everything well together with Oliver's past and present, and how they compare. Time will tell what happens with the fourth season, but perhaps they can get things better sorted out, now that they it appears they won't have to focus on as many players.

Flash is definitely more fun, though. One person I've talked to said it best: Arrow is trying to be a darker, more serious tone, and has been treading carefully with how they treat meta-humans and super-powered beings. Flash, on the other hand, comes right out and tells you, "Hey, we're a superhero show. We've got meta-humans galore, all kinds of crazy stuff... oh, look, a telepathic gorilla! Is that cool or what?"

I will say I liked the trailer for Legends of Tomorrow. It will be interesting how they pull that one off, especially as they haven't yet revealed what Vandal Savage will look like. Whoever they select to play him will be huge, as he could become a truly great TV villian, or a weak one. As for the regular cast, I hope they keep it limited to what they start with and not get too crazy about how many characters they keep rolling out.
