Goodbye flashbacks... hello flashforwards!
Tonight's seventh season premiere of Arrow featured quite the unexpected surprise as one mysterious storyline that followed an unidentified man traveling to Lian Yu turned out to actually be a flashforward to twenty years in the future and that "man" was actually an adult William, who had made the trip to track down an older Roy Harper (Colton Haynes).
While details are being held close to the chest, showrunner Beth Schwartz did reveal that the flashforwards will have a presence all season and for the rest of the series (however long that may be). She also confirmed that fans will be seeing older versions of other characters as well, but she wouldn't name names just yet.
"The Longbow Hunters" - (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) (TV-14, LV) (HDTV)
FELICITY IS DETERMINED TO FIND DIAZ AT ANY COST - In order to track down Diaz (Kirk Acevedo) from inside prison, Oliver (Stephen Amell) realizes that will require aligning with an old enemy. Meanwhile, in Star City, Felicity's (Emily Bett Rickards) attempts to root out Diaz are thwarted by Diggle (David Ramsey), whose allegiance to ARGUS now requires him to keep civilians like her on the outs. Realizing that she can no longer rely on her old team or old methods, a clear-eyed Felicity resolves to find a new way to go after Diaz. Laura Belsey directed the episode written by Jill Blankenship & Rebecca Bellotto (#702). Original airdate 10/22/2018
After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the North China Sea. He returned home to Star City, bent on righting the wrongs done by his family and fighting injustice. As the Green Arrow, he protects his city with the help of former soldier John Diggle, computer-science expert Felicity Smoak, former protégé Roy Harper, brilliant inventor Curtis Holt, street-savvy Rene Ramirez and meta-human Dinah Drake.
