Martian Manhunter can fly. This is probably just Arrow logic though.
Not seeing how this was better than the Flash premiere. Flash wasn't perfect, but the lows here were far worse. Them going for a lighter tone with Ollie was welcomed, but whenever Amell tries going bigger in a comedic way, it doesn't really work for him. His funniest moments have always been the little things. Felicity was back to being mildly charming, and Thea in general is far less insufferable than she was in the first couple seasons. But the "YOU'RE REALLY STRONG" moment was bad in its very conception. Ollie's little speech at the end was just so poorly directed. Cutting in-between his Arrow voice and his kinda nasally regular voice was off-putting already, but Stephen Amell always fidgets whenever he has to stand in place. Always shifting his stance, or regripping his bow. etc. So seeing him awkwardly try and give this inspiring heroic speech while awkwardly fidgeting just came off as totally flat. Also his final "I....am.... the GREEN ARROW" was a really fucking awkward moment. Like... you couldn't do another take?
It was better in that same way that even though I got A's in high school, if my underachieving brother got a B people would give him praise and I'd get nothing.
NOTHING!
Amell's Comic Con Green Arrow speech was way better.

Diggle got on the train because his helmet is really magnetic, so he just threw his body at it

THEY REMOVED THE WRONG TATTOOS! D: LOSE THE ONES ON THE FRONT!! (And Diggle's helmet was truly awful. Redesign that ASAP please.)
Everything else was pretty cool though. Oliver and Felicity are waaaaay better when they're happy. Also, David Ramsey is STACKED. Good lord yes. New Green Arrow costume looks pretty sexy too.
Please be Lance in that grave.

But they got rid of the least intrusive one. D:
He still has that huge monstrosity on his chest and the one on his abs. Why not just get rid of all of them? That would of been a much bigger statement about wanting to leave his past behind him. Why does he need a gang symbol on his chest still? He's already burnt that bridge.

LAUREL TAKES HER SISTER TO NANDA PARBAT — The growing tension between Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Diggle (David Ramsey) puts both their lives at risk when they go after Damien Darhk (guest star Neal McDonough) and a H.I.V.E. deployed meta-human. Meanwhile, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) talks Thea (Willa Holland) into returning to Nanda Parbat to ask her father (John Barrowman) to put Sara (guest star Caity Lotz) into the Lazarus Pit. However, Laurel is surprised when Nyssa (guest star Katrina Law) refuses to do it. Wendey Stanzler directed the episode written by Wendy Mericle & Speed Weed.
LAUREL DEALS WITH THE AFTERMATH OF NANDA PARBAT — Laurel (Katie Cassidy) must deal with the repercussions of taking Sara (guest star Caity Lotz) to Nanda Parbat. Meanwhile, Oliver (Stephen Amell) asks Captain Lance (Paul Blackthorne) for a favor and while he’s not surprised at the response, he is surprised at what he finds out next. Lexi Alexander directed the episode written by Beth Schwartz & Ben Sokolowski.
The premiere wasn't too bad. I was enjoying it for the most part until the very end, really hate when they feel they need to write in those 'shocking' deaths. Seems like it has to happen at least once a season.
The only acceptable death for me would be Thea. I don't think it would be Felicity, as Barry would have been a lot more upset, as he is quite close to her as well. And definitely wouldn't have missed her funeral.
And I don't think Ollie would have been as upset as he was with Lance dying. So it would be either Diggle or Laurel. But my money is still on Thea.
And I don't what was worse, Diggle's helmet or Ollie's wig.

They could also go with the government agent chapter of Roy's life, only have Argus be the agency he works for. Suicide Squad needs a new handler now that Dig and Lyla are out.
It's Mama Smoak. Ollie's mad because her death hurt Felicity.
I'd be fine with this. However, I don't think it will be a minor character like that, unfortunately.
One of the EPs said “We don’t necessarily know who it is right now, we’re still figuring the plan out for the season, but we want it, obviously, to have resonance. If it doesn’t mean something to the characters, it won’t mean anything to the audience either.”
So it's somebody who will be a larger character. And honestly, this annoys me. Get so sick of these deaths to 'make it real' or 'have resonance' for us. They don't even know who it's going to be. It's like they go "Hey, let's kill someone major again" and then throw names in a hat.

So - Damien told Lance, in regards to Green Arrow, "and I want him off the board before my associates arrive." Any guesses as to who those associates may be? Other HIVE leadership? Malcolm? Something from the demonic side of the DCU?
Good catch. A buddy of mine messaged me saying he was hoping Damien was part of something bigger like YJ's The Light.
Can't imagine Merlyn and Damien are friendly. I'm really rooting for Merlyn to just back stab everyone and Barrowman swagger the season.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Darhk and HIVE have a history with (Legend of Tomorrow Spoiler):
. So I'd put money on that.

Merlyn and Damien did have a mutual enemy in Ras al Ghul.
Slade's ex-wife was a HIVE Mistress in the comics, and he worked for them. Probably not going to happen, but getting a trifecta of Malcolm, Slade, and "more Ras than Ras" would make this a great season.

great trailer, season looking goooood.
For what it's worth, I thought Hartley was great as Green Arrow. Now he's on a soap opera.

I think it is great how Ollie just now bring up he knows magic 'is real' and he has seen it, and not once previously thought to say "Oh that thing we saw could be magic".
Looking good - hope the show can return to its former glory.
Get him on this show. That's how I feel.
To be fair, he was on Passions before Smallville. Soap operas are his thing.

The OT title should have some mention of "emotional terrorist"

That shot has me so hyped. Seeing
Sara & Laurel's Canary together at the top of their respective games are all I want & looks like we'll get that.
That looked amazing :O
I will be pretty pissed if
Mister Terrific of all people can't figure out the Green Arrow's identity.

Have him guest star as the Oliver Queen/Green Arrow of Earth 2. Or one of the other 50 Earths out there.

Thanks!
Constantine is in Arrow now....? cool
Season 1: Nothing supernatural. Totally realistic and down to earth.
Season 2: We'll play with Mirakuru and then move any superpowers over to that Flash spinoff if it even gets ordered.
Season 3: Oh so The Flash is doing well, let's put a little more metahuman in the show and perhaps... a crossover?
Season 4: WE FULL MYSTIC DC NOW BABY LET'S PUT A DEAD NBC SHOW IN THE LAZARUS PIT
