It's a clear reference to his alcoholic's anonymous meetings.

And ARGUS. And the League of Assassins. And almost the entire cast of the Flash.

It would certainly give season 4 a storyline to deal with early on. I remember the Green Arrow on Smallville doing this though.

It's pretty simple really..

Think of how the show opens pretty much all of the time "My Name is Oliver Queen" ...

Since Arrow & Flash share the same world.. there is going to be a re-start button pushed on Arrow. There is a solid chance that Tommy, Sarah and Mommy all return.

If Tommy hadn't died.. what kind of Arrow/Oliver would we have today? If Sarah hadn't died, Laural would have no reason to be on Team Arrow. Would Shadow still be alive? Making Slade a friend and not a foe?

There is a lot to consider here, and I sure hope the Writers have a very good plan in place for how this all turns out.

I'm a big fan of Arrow and I absolutely LOVE The Flash... but this season of Arrow has underwhelmed when it could have been it's very best season. So I hope these back end episodes start to make up for it, or at least leave us with something big to expect in Season 4.

With iZombie mentioning "Superman" in the show, I hope that means Arrow/Flash aren't far off from doing the same and having Superman/Batman linked in somehow. I'm also expecting that the Spinoff will leave the door open to "Titans" the show on TBS (also owned by WB) so that Nightwing can appear.

All and all.. I'm excited about the future of DC on TV, and I'm equally as excited about Daredevil. I've heard nothing but good things.

I wish Flash/Arrow would follow the same type of Netflix/AMC/HBO format (and recently Fox with Empire) on having a smaller run (17 episodes-ish) that tell a complete story without any filler. It would mean less breaks in production and a better story window.

Food for thought.

If the season finale is "My Name is Oliver Queen" then I hope season four's premiere is titled "I Am the Green Arrow".

The finale needs to be the end of Ollie's identity criss.

I like that they keep Arrow dark, but if this means we can have a truer version of the character, with constant pop-ins of the DC universe to add a greater scope to the world and allow for greater variety in the stories they tell, then Im all for it!

@bigdannymac Haven't gotten in to izombie properly yet, what's the Supeerman reference?

I suppose Roy gets killed or horribly wounded in prison, which causes Oliver to accept the mantle of Ra's al Ghul so that he can use the Lazarus pit to heal him/bring him back to life. I also think someone uses the Lazarus pit on Sarah's corpse, and brings it back to life, since the producers said that by the end of this spring, we would understand how she would be alive and on the new spin-off next winter.
tugboy
tugboy - 4/8/2015, 9:21 AM
Either that or the new spinoff show will take place in a parallel universe, which might be happening on The Flash.
bigdannymac
bigdannymac - 4/8/2015, 9:21 AM
@tugboy - The Lazarus pit cannot be used on Sarah at this point. She's dead. It wouldn't work. You can't just bring any old corpse and drop it in. Doesn't work like that. Sarah will be alive thanks to The Flash going back in time to "save his mom". It changes the course for everyone on Flash, and obviously Arrow as well

@Slifer151 - It's a decent show. If you ever liked Veronica Mars, it's pretty much the same type of show. They mention Superman in the pilot.. something along the lines of "Who does he think he is, Superman?" something like that

Episode 1 of season 4 will be "Oliver Queen for Mayor"
tugboy
tugboy - 4/8/2015, 9:29 AM
the rest of the episodes for this season are:
19- Broken Arrow
20- The Fallen
21- Al Sah-him
22- This is your sword
23- My Name is Oliver Queen

Anyone have any idea what #21 is about? Is Al Sah-him the "heir to the demon"? what is it?
MisterSuperior
MisterSuperior - 4/8/2015, 9:33 AM
@tugboy

"Al Sah-him" is supposedly The Arrow or The Archer in Arabic. But I thought it was just Al Sahim and the writers ended up adding another 'h' to it.

I really hope season four brings in Maxwell Lord as the villain. There is just so much that could be done with him.

@MisterSuperior @Tugboy

Al Sah-him means Green Arrow. Or so Google translate tells me.

This is for the people who don't know about this and feeling like addressing your opinions directly to one of writers/producers of Arrow. Marc Guggenheim, one of the producers and writers for the show has a Tumblr where he answers questions all the time and during and after the episodes air.

Green Arrow in Arabic is Al-Sahm Al-Akhdar.

Im glad there will be a season 4 of Arrow. Ollie becoming Mayor could be cool. I would like to see storylines explored such as maybe Conner Hawkes story his long lost son. And a new better Green Lantern Hal. And Thea Mia Dearden as Speedy.

yonny616 - 4/8/2015, 11:13 AM
@MisterSuperior Well compared to Arrow or Archer it sounds closer. Unless they're not using Arabic.
MisterSuperior
MisterSuperior - 4/8/2015, 11:17 AM
@yonny616

'Al Sah-him' is what Ra's called him earlier this season and it's what Ollie call himself in a promo. That's the name solely for Arrow or Archer.
