Finished the season. Overall, kind of an uneven season. Of course, when you start your season with killing one of your better characters, you're already 1-0 behind. But the whole plot became so convoluted, it's ridiculous. I love John Barrowman as Merlyn, but when you think about everything that he has done, then the whole working together angle feels a bit forced and out of character. And Ra's had a good actor, but his character's motivations were all over the place. On the plus side, they managed to improve both Laurel and Roy, two characters that I couldn't care less about beforehand. Still not two of the better characters or anything, but at least they're tolerable. And I'm glad that more side characters such as Nyssa were given bigger parts, should be interesting. Overall, I do think there is enough groundwork for an interesting season 4.. if they don't fall into the same pitfalls as this one.
