Arrow Season 5 Premiere: 13 Questions We're Asking After 'Legacy'

8. How Will Ollie Juggle Being Mayor And Green Arrow Going Forwards?

This is one we've already had a glimpse of in this episode, and the answer is he won't, or at least he won't do it very well.

Oliver may be Mayor, but his priority is being the Green Arrow, and they aren't two things that really mix. It's an interesting move for the show, and means Oliver's big problem now will be keeping his identity a secret from Star City's public, and not missing too many meetings while on vigilante duty. Can he do it?

Probably not, but he's gonna try anyway (and thankfully he's got Thea to cover for him, who as it turns out is pretty good at this stuff, and would probably make a much better Mayor).

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
