Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
Oliver Queen may have been in a happy place when this fourth season of Arrow began, but he reached another low point this week. His son was kidnapped by a villain that Ollie has repeatedly failed to take down over the past few months. That same villain used the kidnapping as leverage to force Ollie’s political career to a premature end. The revelation that he has a son in the first place was enough to put Ollie’s relationship with Felicity on the rocks. All of this brought a new wave of darkness into Ollie’s world. Strangely, though, the conflict in this episode never quite hit home as hard as it should.
It’s hard to pin down exactly what went wrong this week, except to say that the drama wasn’t quite as intense as you’d expect given the circumstances. Ollie’s situation was as desperate as it’s been since the peak of his feud with Ra’s al Ghul last year, but that desperation never fully came across on screen. With a title like “Taken,” you expect the episode to be all about Ollie going nuclear on Star City’s criminal element, pounding skulls until he finally tracks down his missing child. At no point did Ollie unleash his inner Liam Neeson.
