So by now I'm sure we've all seen an episode or two of CW's ARROW. Throughout much of the first season, Detective Quinton Lance was trying to take down the Starling City Vigilante. At one point, he arrested Oliver Queen for being the "Hood." Here's a list of reasons why he is either really bad at his job, or just turning the blind eye, similar to Comm. Gordon.
1. Everytime Oliver Queen returns, so does Arrow. Now, in season one he did have Oliver on house arrest while sightings of the "Hood" occurred. How could that have happened? If only Queen had someone to run around for him. Perhaps someone that could handle themselves? Enter John Diggle: Queen's bodyguard and former military.
2. Both Lance and Arrow work closely with Felicity Smoak, even using her to get information to the other. Who else has been seen hanging around Felicity? Oliver Queen!
3. (SPOILERS FOR SEASON 2 EPISODE 3) In last nights episode, Lance saw both Smoak and Diggle with Arrow. If that didn't give it away, they teamed up and were right next to each other for (in the show's timeline) hours! Are we supposed to believe that a simple hood can cover his face that well? I guess so. And say it was any other officer, maybe they wouldn't notice. But for a guy with a long history with Oliver? Come on!
What do you guys think? Anyway, this was kinda for laughs. I'll have a more serious one full of Arrow theories up later.
