In the season three premiere of Arrow, Ray Palmer revealed plans to rebrand Starling City as Star City. It was a plot thread which appeared to be dropped fairly early on, but could his apparent death have led to the change? One thing that's for sure is that it won't be Damien Darhk's doing according to TV Line (I don't think any of us thought it would be, but they confirmed the fact in response to a reader's question. However, he will still be casting a pretty long shadow over Oliver's rebranded home. "He’s very different from our previous Big Bads in that he’s not hiding in the shadows," Marc Guggenheim explains. "But at the same time, he doesn’t have a public persona."

Just because Darhk likes to stick to the shadows doens't mean he won't be making his presence felt in season four of Arrow though, as we'll get to meet him in the premiere on October 7th. "He shows up at a very public meeting that Lance is present. If Darhk wants to show up somewhere, he’s certainly going to!" Are you looking forward to seeing this new take on the villain? Here's hoping he's closer to Deathstroke than Ra's al Ghul, eh? Let us know your thoughts below...

I just hope Season 4 is better than Season 3. Season 2 was so good and then 3 sucked. And the Felicity-Ollie thing needs to go away

Season 3 was the worse season of arrow. Among the worse TV sequel. Have a lots to complain about it.

While I was excited for Constantine's appearance, more Olicity, and appearances of more of Ollie's girlfriend is not helping me to watch this show. Seems that villain would the the only saving grace of this season .

From Amell's reaction, it seems that, he actually thinks the same.

Sebastian Blood, Damien Darhk, Roy G. Bivolo... Sometimes I really can't look past DC's insistence that these are things that people name their children...

@Spock0Clock that's very true, but maybe that's why they are evil

Questions on here that have already been answered by showrunners / in other promos:

- @jrp6048 Felicity will be financing team Arrow after inheriting money from the apparent death of Ray Palmer
- @Moviefanatic14 Palmer will be in Legends of Tomorrow as the world thinks he is dead but he actually just shrunk
- @Tevii Olicity will not be going away any time soon but the writers have said they are going to take Felicity's character/ dialogue back towards the character everyone fell in in love with in season 1

@0megaDaGr0dd: At one side I am like BURN B***H!!!!!!!!!

But on the other hand, feeling bad that its Stephen Amell who is taking the bullets and not the actual people behind the ruination.

On the other hand, there was that case of a guy naming his sons "Winner" and "Loser". Loser went on to get scholarships and became a cop, while Winner was in and out of jail and homeless.

Season 2 of True Detective makes Season 3 of Arrow look like Season 1 of MASH.
