Arrow: 12 Greatest Plots Of The Series So Far

3. Roy Survives

Arsenal was undeniably a sidekick in Season 3 of Arrow, but Roy became a true hero over the course of the first nineteen episodes. Whether he was trying to do the right thing by Thea or turning himself in to protect his mentor or lying facedown in a puddle after Ray electrocuted him, Roy always had the best intentions and was willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good. He was the Little Vigilante That Could, and it was heartbreaking to learn that he€™d been murdered in prison. It was therefore a huge relief to discover that Arrow had pulled another switcheroo and Team Arrow had only faked his death. Roy not actually being dead is one of the rare €œGotcha!€ twists that worked in Season 3, and he€™s definitely one of the characters who deserve to come back for the occasional guest arc in seasons to come.

Fiction buff and writer. If it's on Netflix, it's probably in my queue. I've bought DVDs for the special features and usually claim that the book is better than the movie or show (and can provide examples). I've never met a TV show that I won't marathon. Follow on Twitter @lah9891 .
