In the most recent episode/flashback: Oliver's hair is cut. He is supposed to be rescued roughly 2 years from when he gets his haircut at this point (1 season of flashbacks = 1 year, we gotta go through this whole one year then the whole one year after on his 5th year) and his hair got to the wig length after 3 years. How the hell is his hair going to get to the pilot length now that they cut his hair?

Paid attention? What do you mean? In the pilot, Oliver's hair is at torso length. This is his "fourth year on the island" and they just cut off his hair he had been growing out for the last 3 years so how is it going to get to torso length in 2 years? I don't think you even paid attention

Well, they f'd up more than the timeline. The show is SO bad now.

But yeah, the hair hasn't been long enough the entire time line of the flashbacks. His beard and hair should be super long by now.

Whenever he gets to that length in the final fifth year, it'll be inconsistent because it'll grow super fast out of nowhere. Oh well.

I disagree with you that it's horrible. After re-watching season 3 on Netflix I can for sure say watching it at your own pace is the best method. Not saying it's a great season but it's better then I thought. And season 4 both episodes have been solid imo.

His hair it's been shoulder length since half way through season 1 if you don't think he's been trimming it then your crazy.

Season 3 was HORRIBLE. Rushed out exit of Roy Harper, a stupid reason for why Oliver didn't die by Ra's, the horrible Felicity/Ray stuff, the horrible Felicity/Oliver stuff, the huge letdown of who killed Sara, the horrible story of Lance vs Arrow going on and on and on, and the bad handling of Ra's. Not good.

Season 4 has been equally, if not more bad. Oliver and Felicity BS, Oliver running for major, and a BAD version of one of my favorite characters, Anarky.

Now, there is some good stuff and I focus on the good, but it's 99% shit. I'm only watching it for Constantine.
