Do you really think they will kill him off before he gets to Obi Wan Kenobi the fuck out of Ollie?
It kinda appears like they never saw eachother again after that.

EDIT: thinking about it more though I guess somebody had to train him.

Well, I'm sure he'll train him till he meets his end on the island. I mean, Ollie is wearing his clothes in the Pilot when he's rescued.

But I haven't seen the episode, so I don't know what's happened between him and Deathstroke.
 
I liked how in hight fight Olie was clearly using some of the same moves the chinese dude did on the island.
 
It's taken me too long but I've finally drawn the conclusion that Arrow is just DC's answer to Punisher. Or atleast that is how CW chooses to portray this character.

I'm still unsure whether or not I like the direction they are giving for Laurel.
 
Deathstroke got his ass whooped.

Ollie and Dinah still have no chemistry what so ever, they should just switch speedy and dinah's actresses next season, no one would really care. Or just you know, go in a weird direction with the show, I wouldn't mind.

I still feel the show has more chemistry between Ollie and his sister

I don't know why but they spark.
 
Random, but 14mins into the episode when they're talking in the room with their lawyers, off camera someone's windows machine did the error ping.
One of those awkward things only someone with really good hearing picks up, points it out and his girlfriend looks at him like he's crazy.

Also...why does he have buttons on his V-neck lol

CW's Green Arrow is basically Batman+Punisher...And I think its great.
 
Laurel is turning into Lana. I am so sick of her already

Ugh, nooooooo. Come on writers, save her!

I am seriously loving this version of Green Arrow.
 
It would be best to kill her off, and make speedy his sidekick, and have awkward sibling sexual tension, basically supernatural 2.
 
Ben Browder to Play DC Comics Character Ted Gaynor

The producers of Arrow are not being shy when it comes to bringing in characters from DC Comics, with several slated to appear in upcoming episodes – some known for their appearances in Green Arrow comics, some pulled from other DC sources.

IGN has learned that we’ll be meeting another new DC character in the show’s 11th episode, as Ted Gaynor is introduced, played by Ben Browder.

On Arrow, Gaynor is Diggle’s commanding officer from his first tour in Afghanistan, who now works as a bodyguard for Blackhawk Squad Protection Group in Starling City. As a series of armored truck robberies strike the city, Gaynor proves to be a polarizing figure between Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Diggle (David Ramsey).

New promo/trailer for the next few episodes of Arrow (showing off villains and its for November sweeps I guess):

http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/11/07/arrow-promo-new-villains-video/

Tonight’s new episode of Arrow on The CW features a villain who doesn’t say much, but comic-books fans will immediately recognize, nonetheless. He’s Deathstroke, an all-world mercenary and assassin who wears a mask with just one eye (you saw it teased in the pilot, mounted on a stick), and he just might have something to do with all those scars that Oliver Queen accumulated on his body during his mysterious hero-forging castaway days on Purgatory isle. Deathstroke (Jeffrey C. Robinson) is part of a wave of DC Comics characters about to invade Starling City during November sweeps to frustrate the emerald hooded archer’s mission to purge the blighted city of corruption by any means and trick arrow necessary.

This sneak peak at upcoming episodes teases a few of these rogues, including The Huntress (Jessica De Gouw) and The Royal Flush Gang
. In the comics, this squad of crooks wore costumes modeled after playing cards (the suit of clubs, specifically) and wielded high-tech sci-fi weapons. But Arrow clearly emulates the aesthetic that director Christopher Nolan brought to his Batman movies, and so the new iteration of the Gang is more crime flick gritty. Take a look at the promo, and comic fans, if you can spot other familiar faces, don’t keep it a secret — share in the message boards below.

This gets me hyped up, but I'm really not feeling the music. Doesn't fit that well, I think.


Man, they're just burning through the DC universe of characters, hahaha.
 
I honestly do not know how to feel about the direction they are taking Queen.

I mean, I heavily enjoyed how this episode was a direct response to him deciding to kill people, and how at the end, he made a decision of what kind of hero he is going to be.

But ultimately, I think it is the wrong move. It makes him an anti-hero.
 
Anti heroes make for more compelling television. Plain and simple.
 
What does everyone think of Oliver Queen's actor? He doesn't really use much facial expressions...

Still loving it due to Green Arrow being my favorite character.

P.S. Can't wait for today's ep.
 
The recent episode was easily the weakest for me. I think its directlly linked to the lack of action scenes. The female characters are all awful and the main actor is good for action stuff, and bromance, but everything else doesn't hold its weight.

I think he fits the hero persona, while he's less convincing when playing the playboy part. I do like his island scenes, because he does act noticably different there.

Was going to post the exact same thing, honestly they could have just made this show about him on the island and I would have watched it.

An anti-hero who kills people all the time that we are supposed to root for?

Maybe if they continue with the plot arc of killing being wrong.

What the hell is so compelling about a guy killing people with arrows? There's a reason why it works with Walter White. Somehow, I don't think Arrow is a show about a guys fall from grace.
 
Didn't he only kill the people in the first episode?

He kills the henchmen, but never his "target". He killed Deadshot.

And he very obviously killed the main bad dude at the end of this ep.

I just can't get behind a comic book hero that kills people, either selectively or willy-nilly.

Eh don't know that for sure, although yeah that made it seem that way... seemed odd as the guy hadn't done anything special. And also he shot the henchmen in the shoulders and shit. Pretty sure the only confirmed dead are the guys who kidnapped him in the beginning.
 
Cant wait to see this show on UK daytime TV when they have to cut all the arrow hits out, every fight scene will be:

*Arrow jumps down*
*black*
*camera pans to arrow with hood down*

My thoughts exactly. I think he can act but his repertoire is rather limited and while I think he does a good job of playing the whole "emotionally crippled on the inside" part of the role, he can't seem to grasp the playboy part that well. I get the impression that the actor himself is not exactly a party animal and he looks awkward when trying to be one.

I also don't think Arrow has killed much. Lately he's just harming those who are in the way (ie. by shooting them in the shoulder) but not outright killing them.
 
you guys think they'll ever break their rule of no super powered heroes/villains in the future?
i really hope so.

but at the least, give me a bruce wayne and lex luthor appearance. the 3 richest dc characters in one episode sounds glorious.

Give them a few seasons to run out of ideas and I'm sure superpowers will come into it.

Come on. All the scenes with Walter and Mrs Queen together and separately were great. At the very least they handled that subplot nicely.

It's fiction, who gives a shit? I don't understand why so many people have trouble adjusting their moral compass just to watch a stupid TV show about a guy in a green hoodie. TV is full of compelling anti heroes that kill people. Vic Mackey, Tony Soprano, Dexter, etc. It's a TV show. The guys he kill aren't real people and they aren't really dead in real life! So Arrow is more Punisher than a standard DC goody two shoes hero in this, big deal.

I hope Walter ends up helping Oliver down the road. He seems like a good guy. Odds are he's getting killed though

I've never heard of two black sidekicks happening before. There must be some union reg that prevents it. Things aren't looking good for Walt.

Walter White is a villain though, Arrow is just hero who goes to extreme measures, both kill people, but the difference is obvious and both characters are nothing alike.

Also..it's very hard to find any truly heroic figure in real world who isn't a killer.

I dunno, I'm rooting for him.
 
Laurel is turning into Lana. I am so sick of her already
She hasn't cried yet and she is capable of more then two emotions.

What does everyone think of Oliver Queen's actor? He doesn't really use much facial expressions...
He's a heavily muscled, bemused Garret Dillahunt. Dillahunt also never moved the upper half of his face for a good decade. With more experience, he'll come along.
 
Well you guys asking for a more emotive Oliver may be getting your wish .

“ARROW” — (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET)

“Year’s End” (Content Rating TBD) (HDTV)

Oliver (Stephen Amell) discovers that after he and his father went missing, Moira (Susanna Thompson) and Thea (Willa Holland) stopped celebrating Christmas. Determined to make up for lost time and restore a sense of normalcy to the Queen household, Oliver decides to throw the family a Christmas party. Meanwhile, Tommy (Colin Donnell) asks Laurel (Katie Cassidy) to spend Christmas with him but she points out that Christmas was also her sister’s Sara’s birthday and she needs to be with her father. Tommy suggests changing things up might be the best way for everyone to heal but Laurel isn’t sure her father is ready for that.

*chuckles*
 
Episode 5 was pretty awesome. Still loving the pace on this show.

I think the dude can actually act, his island scenes are proof of that. It's just that the present day Oliver is supposed to be cold and robotic, while hiding his feelings on the inside I think.
 
Just caught up on 'Damaged'. Great episode. The more I watch the series, the more I realize that Ammell (Oliver) is actually doing a really good job at his role. He's great on the Island and he really plays the damaged anti-hero very well. I think he deserves more credit, he's doing a great job.

Moving on, great episode. I think this is the first episode where Laurel and Oliver actually weren't... cardboard. I mean, it wasn't great, but it wasn't grating. But then at the very end, we had that dumb "Oh, this is never meant to be" after Oliver pretty much spilled his guts out. God Lauren, you are just terrible. It's okay, Ollie. Huntress is coming. Speaking of coming, I loved Ollie's joke about the party theme, "Come before Oliver gets Off".

Also, this was also the first episode where Blackthorne wasn't in the midst of a manic-depressive episode in an up mood. He was pretty good here. Kinda liked the moment at the end where Lauren comes to get him from the bar and the little head nod he gives to Ollie.

Yao Fein (I think that's his name, but I'll just keep calling him Chinese Island Guy) continues to be The Best. So before the Island, he was a military officer in the Chinese Army, huh? I wonder how he wound up here. And who's the European (?) paramilitary guy who is in command of Deathstroke? Is he a DC character?

I like that the island is called 'Purgatory'. It's very comic booky/mythic, but neat.

I'm pretty sure Ollie killed the arms dealer at the end. Awesome. The look on the dude's face, hahaha. It's very clear that Oliver is a much more deadly fighter than Diggle. Also, Walter is pretty awesome. I hope he doesn't bite it.

Well you guys asking for a more emotive Oliver may be getting your wish .

Ha, a Very Green Arrow Christmas

I think regarding HP's point of not liking Oliver because he kills people... I think this kind of makes him more interesting. There are moral quandaries to think about, but there's also more hell yeah moments in escapist television. It avoids the revolving door of criminality that Superman and Batman get stuck in.

I'm seriously laughing pretty hard at all the Arrow/Tumblr stuff. God there's some hilarious stuff here, even more hilarious because all these fan girls/boys are deadly serious.
