To celebrate Arrow's return, I'm going to the archery range and printing out a special target to stick on the wall...

I still need to find an archery range here in KY for my wife and I to go to. Now that we both have money and free time, we really want to get back into it.
But I could never shoot at Slade. I know the arrows would just bounce off that swag.

Arrow deciding not to kill people in season 2 is so dumb. I hate when superheroes do that. It's an inelegant and childish way of getting the most mileage possible out of the villains and it instantly makes the action less compelling.

Well, he still killed people. He offed Vertigo pretty nicely.
Killing is just a last option now, I guess.

I don't mind him trying to be a hero as long as he does kill few people in each season. This is true to Green Arrow's in comicbooks and should stay here. Especially since he lacks superpowers, it would be very convulted if he would be able to avoid killing anyone.

I agree. It makes more sense than Batman magically preventing anyone from dying while he kicks them in the face or throws knives at them.
It feels more in line with law enforcement, lethal force as a last option. I like a hero who is willing to do it, but not happy about it.

I just finished Spartacus so I guess I'm morally obligated to move on to this show.

I'm freaking ready!!!
Apparently Stephen Amell and Manu Bennett are both going to be at NYCC, but there's no Arrow panel.
i don't even want to go to comic-con anymore
That has to happen and record it on cell phone
I at least want him to try not to kill anyone. There are situations where it might be appropriate, but I want struggle, I want Team Arrow grinding their brain to try getting everyone out alive, themselves, the innocents and the villains. I am not very found of Vigilantes who execute "bad people". Because the world isn't black and white and examples of people who took the law in their own hand, usually ended bad for black people in the States.

It would be even nice to do the repeat of the JLA storyline. When Oliver knew he had to put the bad guy down or the consequences would be terrible, but nobody else wanted to do it. So he did it in secret and when the truth finally camed out it caused a huge tension with his team mates.
It would work really nicely in Arrow, especially with boyscouts like Flash. And even the more open minded folk would propably react really badly to Oliver hiding the truth.
Betas die with silly things like walls
Those files were so important too. They are still talked about all the time.

Just finished marathoning this show. It's very good. It's going to be amazing watching this and The Flash with GAF.

I see a twist coming too. I mean Ra's doesn't really have a grudge against him. I think it will actually be Malcom again.

Make sure to hit it in the eye.
Someone asked the executive producer about Ray Palmer.
Really not sure what to think of this.

I thought introducing The Flash and mirakuru would open the floodgates to a more comic-book show with superpowers (with Oliver being a non-powered hero having to deal with that shit), but it looks like they're going back on it. He also recently said mirakuru is about as far into superpowers as Arrow will go.
I also really don't like the idea of making Ray a big part of Arrow and then shipping him off to The Flash when he gets interesting/becomes a hero.

I rewinded that scene like 6 times. It was so satisfying to see crixus and spartacus bro out after crixus was such a shit for the season

So what happens after season five when they covered every year on/off the island?
What will they flashback to?

The time that they got trapped on another island outside of time.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
That's the Supermax season and the flashbacks will be about how Oliver ended up in prison.
Have them recite it too!
hopefully the show ends at that point.
Most shows have trouble being good past 4 or 5 seasons. I know ratings matter and all that, but I really don't want 2-3 years extra of garbage Arrow just because it gets ratings.
They already teased the supermax, lead that up to a GA movie or dedicated supermax season

True, but even still, it's pretty lame. Tommy's death totally defanged Arrow.

Personally I like this. I
don't mind low level powers, but anything more makes Green Arrow outmatched. He should stick to human and sligtly more than human enemies, while everything crazier should be left for Flash, since he can actually handle it. At most, if they ever get a good idea about Arrow vs powers they can do it in crossoverse. Bassicaly do it the Batman way, when in his own comics he rarely has to deal with anything truly powerful. Plus it helps to keep both Flash and Arrow feel like genuinelly different shows.

I agree. Best way to do it. Plus, superpowers become localized to people who were in Central at the time of the particle accelerator blast, so Ollie doesn't really have to come across it too often.

"You know how I was on the island for 5 years..."
"Yes..."
"It was actually 6"

Or they can reboot the show. Do a big (5 years minimum) time skip, move him to different City, hire completely new cast and rename the show to Green Arrow. And then do flashbacks to his time between the time skips, including reasons why he left Starling

The Flash goes back in time to Ollie on the island and they both go on time traveling adventures.
