Arrow: Season 4

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

The series 4 adventures of Arrow continue as the evil Damien Darhk leads assassinations against Star City and H.I.VE plans to take out Team Arrow once and for all. Tensions continue to build between Oliver and Diggle, which causes disruption and in the team and potentially puts their lives in danger.

Normally, we try to ease into our reviews and not skip to the end of the episode right off the bat. But after the season premiere of Arrow, I’m guessing most (if not all) fans are focused on that question right now. The end of the episode jumped forward six months and showed Oliver standing over a fresh grave. Barry (!!!!) joined him and apologized for missing the funeral. Oliver vowed to “kill him” (the person responsible, not Barry). And then just when it looked like the camera would pan to show us the name on the gravestone, the screen faded into the title card (Rude!).

Could this be a stunt that will lead to the death of someone we know and kind of like in six months, say Nyssa or Lyla or even Amanda Waller? I think we all know the writers are capable of that. Or would it be better if it was one of our favorites like Laurel or Thea or Digg or Felicity? No matter who’s in that grave, we’re going to be talking about this and agonizing over clues and guesses until the truth is revealed. Well played, writers. For a show that’s usually showing us the past, leaping into the future is a nice change of pace, and making us worry about the characters until we know who we’re losing? That’s cold, but also awesome because it’s different and terrifying at the same time.

Now that we’ve gotten the ending out of the way, let’s talk about the rest of “Green Arrow.” Last season closed with Oliver telling Felicity he was happy as they drove off into the sunset together. Months later, they’ve settled into a house in the suburbs and are living in bliss without a care in the world. Oliver’s planning to propose and Felicity’s dealing with the fallout of inheriting Ray’s company. Back in the renamed Star City, Digg, Laurel and Thea are working together to battle the villains, but they’re finding themselves outnumbered. So Laurel and Thea take a trip to suburbia to ask Oliver to come back and help. He’s hesitant, but Felicity’s all for it.
