Tonights premiere was amazing!!! I hope it's Felicity but I think that's what the writers want us to think, It may be Dig or Thea unfortunately

Action was cringe worthy.

First Episode was a good start. Hopefully they can keep it up...

It's obviously Diggle's grave. They've been alluding to it throughout the entire episode. I'm also guessing that the person Oliver wants to kill is Lance, because of his partnership with Damien Darhk. If it was Felicity, Barry would've been crying and heartbroken.

Not a bad ep. I cracked up when the little boy said to Canary, "You're strong!"

The action has been getting worse....idk why. Wasn't directed or executed well. Solid episode though, BUT...so was the season 3 premiere, and we know how that turned out. Cautiously optimistic....very cautious


Hal Jordan easter egg was nice
TheAcuario
TheAcuario - 10/7/2015, 6:25 PM
I don't want it to be Diggle, it is really going to come down to Dig or Felicity who will be getting kicked to the curve

Gotta stay on your toes with Arrow. Last season started off well and we got played. Gotta watch your optimism and excitement after one episode. I'm hopeful still

Best episode of Arrow in 2 years. First time an episode of Arrow was ever better than an episode of Flash during the same week. In fact, yesterday's Flash was the worst episode of the entire show which was very disappointing and not at all how I expected premiere week to be.

My question is...is the show going to stay 6 months in the future now, or was that just foreshadowing, or will we have flashforwards AND flashbacks now?

Diggle?

I thought that episode was a huge step up from season 3. It seems like they're taking a flash approach to the show, while keeping it distinct and I appreciate that.

Also, first look at Zoom

I agree. Between Flash, AoS and Arrow, Arrow had the best season premiere.

Flash and AOS were leaps and bounds better than the Arrow premier.

TheAcuario - 10/7/2015, 6:37 PM
@GAThrawnIGF I believe it was only a foreshadowing as to what's to come this season and have everyone talking who's going to hit the bucket. I think for finally digesting this episode there was a lot of focus on Diggle and his family and really hinting at him dying but now i think it may actually be Felicity

Damn... the best of Arrow since season 2, can't wait for next week episode (can't believe what I'm saying)

They also mention Kord Industries.

I should've watched this instead of this [frick]ing hot garbage of a Pirates game.

That was definitely NOT the best episode of Arrow. First, it still has a lot of the baggage of the past season. Understandable, but the show needs to move on from Diggle and Lance's constant whining. Felicity is definitely a marked improvement, but Thea is less convincing than ever (edgy Thea was actually more convincing as a fighter).

I don't have much of an issue with Darkh, though the whole episode felt hollow. I think that's because it was very disjointed, and HIVE just felt like Slade and the League all over again, when it needed a new feel. We've seen the tactical bad guys before, we had the quasi-mystical ninjas, so Darkh just seems like a mix of Malcolm, Slade and Ra's. And that's repetitive.

HIVE should be a bit more high-tech given their comic book nature, and it might even benefit from the introduction of some adaptation of Queen Bee. The show needs to actually feel different, and while the "Green" Arrow himself got a makeover (should have ditched the modulator and grown a long beard), the rest of the show remains exactly the same.

I'm sorry but the premiere was just so mediocre. The show has been completely mundane since beginning of Season 3. I really liked Season 1 and parts of Season 2, but the show is just so un-watchable. Why couldn't they just keep it like Season 1?
