Archery I could buy, but how does one learn parkour and untraceable computer hacking on a deserted island?

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Very cool. I am now more intrigued by Arrow.

untraceable computer hacking
That part made me laugh and laugh. The boxing-glove arrow would have been more plausible.
But I was willing to handwave it, because...abs.

It's wireless untraceable hacking. And as long as we're nitpicking, how did he learn how to use a lift and wire a generator? And there was way more stuff in that room than he had in those two little duffle bags.
Side note, I wiki'ed Green Arrow, and one of the writers is named Diggle. Nice shout out.

Also, I question Robert Queen's approach to cleaning up Star City, which is apparently important enough to be worth both murdering someone and committing suicide, but not so urgent that he can't spare time for pleasure cruises in the Pacific.

I've read speculation that Ollie wasn't alone on the island for the whole 5 years. (Do we whitefont speculation?) I assume more flashbacks are forthcoming.

I think if it's purely speculation, it's OK. That's interesting. I assume more flashbacks, too. I hope we're done with voiceovers though. The actor is fine when he's on the screen, but I think his voiceovers sound pretty stiff.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Arrow lives here because it's a DC property?
