This is less a review and more a lesson. This episode marked the first appearance of The Green Arrow. I see someone disagrees with how he is portrayed... And they are sadly misguided. Justin Hartley did a stellar job in this and many episodes to come. So much so that 6 years later when they were branding the "Arrow" you all are familiar with now, there was almost an uproar from me and other fans alike that Hartley would not reprise the role.
Not to discredit Amell's version (Which I grew to love.) I'm just saying that without this Green Arrow, which widely built the popularity of the character, there would be no "Arrow" with this being the foundation that the show we now know and love was built upon.
Retelling of stories take creative leaps. That's like watching Superman II and screaming "That's not how he met Zod, Zod possessed Lex!" Sounds foolish doesn't it?
