Arrow (S4E01) -- "Green Arrow" -- 10/7/15


WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7

SEASON PREMIERE

ARROW

"Green Arrow" - (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) (TV-14, LV) (HDTV)

MY NAME IS THE GREEN ARROW - Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Felicity's (Emily Bett Rickards) blissful getaway is cut short when Thea (Willa Holland) and Laurel (Katie Cassidy) pay them a visit and tell Oliver they need his help back in Star City. The city has been attacked by "Ghosts," assassins led by a dangerous man named Damien Darhk (guest star Neal McDonough). However, when Oliver returns, Diggle (David Ramsey) makes it very clear that he doesn't want Oliver on the team. Thor Freudenthal directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Beth Schwartz and teleplay by Marc Guggenheim & Wendy Mericle (#401). Original airdate 10/7/2015.

Stephen Amell
I will be live on Facebook tonight at 9 pm PT immediately following the west coast airing of our premiere. Will be discussing everything that happened and my thoughts on the season. There will be spoilers... If you haven't seen the premiere, watch at your own peril.

Season 3 is now on Netflix in case anyone missed episodes from last season.

Either Felicity, Detective Lance or Thea. But I don't think they are going to take Felicity out. She's incredibly popular and ratings will most likely suffer if she's out.

Nice Hal Jordan easter egg.

Re: Arrow (S4E01) -- "Green Arrow" -- 10/7/15

I would guess Thea or even Laurel in that grave.

This was a great premiere episode and helps wash out the taste of last season. I am not sure how much I like seeing Oliver return to the island in flashbacks again but that arc will turn out according to what other characters appear. This was a much better start to the season than Flash's first episode. Diggle seriously put Oliver down, it doesn't appear they will be tight very soon.

The show went through a checklist and finally started addressing my nagging complaints. He's called Green Arrow, it is now called Star City more often than not, and I even like the new costume better.

They keep teasing us Hal Jordan. The legendary Green Lantern can't appear on Arrow, can he?

I doubt it's Lance. I just don't see Ollie crying over his grave.

Could be Laurel, Felicity, or Thea.

I honestly hope it's Laurel... I find her more annoying than anything.

Diggle is one possibility since he's been heavily rumored for movie roles in the future. There are many people that want to see him become the movie Green Lantern (John Stewart).

Fixed. It'd be cheap if it was Mr Lance. Hell I cant think of his first name or rank.

Why would the Flash come all the way to visit Lance's grave? That doesn't make much sense.

Didn't Lance help Flash discover who Harrison Wells was? Still, I threw Lance's name just because I thought his character is becoming the most expendable one. I noticed Arrow somewhat cried, but it wasn't the crying of losing someone that he loved dearly like Thea or Felicity, so it may be Diggle who's dying then.

When will the six month jump happen? End of the season or midseason?

Jordan, Check out the flashback bar scene with Waller and Ollie.
Also IvyTown is mention. In the comics it was home to Ray Palmer, The Atom.

Put down the Ipad and Iphone while you're watching TV for the love of God.

The flashback in the bar with Waller and Ollie.

It was a quick glimpse of a man wearing a jacket that said "Jordan" on the name tag.

Sorry, missed the episode (Wednesday is too damn full of shows) so kind of curious what is happening.

Re: Arrow (S4E01) -- "Green Arrow" -- 10/7/15

Just finished it.

I think it's pretty obvious the death in the flash forward will be Diggle. I think they kind of foreshadowed in the family time scenes with John and Lyla along with John and Ollie's tension filled reunion.

You can't kill Thea again since she was just resurrected. It would make no sense.

Laurel IMO is still going to be around because Black Canary is still a big part of this storyline. And White Canary is going to be on her own show.

and Felicity is Ollie's love interest. That would just kill the female fanbase.

Killing off Diggle makes the most sense. Ollie would feel a lot of guilt for the death of his best friend. David Ramsey is the most expendable of the core cast members.

I think the reveal will happen sometime in the Spring. You don't want to blow something like that too soon. It is a 6 month jump, so timeline wise it could happen around March or April.

yeah, he's lame magento-mc-shoot people.

I'll look forward to how he's skirting the whole issue of not killing people when he's only using a gun.
