"Arrow's" Amell Teases "Game Changing" Scene With Gustin http://www.comicbookresources.com/a...e-with-gustin-gunn-nixes-more-humans-in-gotg2

Stephen Amell has teased a "game changing" scene on his Facebook page, one that involves Grant Gustin (a.k.a. the Flash). The two are in their civilian identities and wearing suits outdoors, which narrows down the possible scenes a little. It could be a funeral or a wedding or even a really fancy picnic. We'll find out for sure in the front half of this season on one of the two CW shows.

Sara and Laurel's Relationship Will Be Stronger Than Ever on Arrow http://www.tvguide.com/news/arrow-season-3-sara-laurel/

Arrow may be bringing Sara back to life, but, surprisingly, it's Laurel who will benefit the most.
For starters, the resurrection of Sara (Caity Lotz) gives Laurel (Katie Cassidy) a second chance at having a better relationship with her sister. "Her journey this year is tied a lot to her sister," executive producer Wendy Mericle tells TVGuide.com, noting Laurel is a "key player" in the decision to resurrect Sara.However, with Sara eventually moving on to the spin-off Legends of Tomorrow, Laurel will get a bit more of the Arrow spotlight. "We're excited because the series started with the whole triangle of Oliver and Sara and Laurel," Mericle says. "And with Sara coming back and then moving on to go on her own journey, we have the potential to change the dynamic there in a really positive way for Laurel. [We] kind of put the past to rest."

GUGGENHEIM DESCRIBES "ARROW'S" MR. TERRIFIC AS "AN MVP OF THE CAST" http://www.comicbookresources.com/a...ibes-arrows-mr-terrific-as-an-mvp-of-the-cast

"Arrow" executive producer Marc Guggenheim weighed in on Echo Kellum's role as Mr. Terrific in the upcoming fourth season of the show during an interview with TV Insider."Curtis [Mr. Terrific] is someone we started talking about [in the writers room] at the end of last year, out of a desire to fill in some gaps in terms of the cast and storytelling," Guggenheim explained, adding that the character "fills the same role Brandon [Routh] filled last year" with a few pointed differences."Echo has quickly become an MVP of the cast," he shared. "I think a lot of people will compare him favorably to the addition of Emily [Bett Rickards] in Season 1. He has this wonderful energy."On the show, Kellum will start out as Curtis Holt, a technological savant and inventor at Palmer Technologies under Felicity Smoak's supervision. In the comics, Mr. Terrific's secret identity is Michael Holt, an extremely intelligent, Olympic-level athlete. Mr. Terrific is also member of the Justice Society of America, who joined after the death of his wife and unborn child, though it seems the show will craft a new origin to go with the new name.

WATCH: "ARROW" EP OUTLINES NEW TEAM DYNAMICS, STAR CITY'S LATEST THREAT http://www.comicbookresources.com/a...es-new-team-dynamics-star-citys-latest-threat

Over a handful of new clips from the upcoming fourth season, executive producer Wendy Mericle weighs in on how Team "Arrow" functions without Oliver (Stephen Amell) and how Thea (Willa Holland), Laurel (Katie Cassidy) and Digg (David Ramsey) are faring without him."The team... has taken over for Oliver and they've been kicking ass," Mericle shared. "Thea's skills have advanced. She's very much part of the team, a full fledged member. Laurel, too... They are a really tight team. They've been working with Digg.""They've been working very hard to fight the new forces of evil that have decided to come to Star City," she added.

Arrow Season 4 Featurette Examines Life in Star City http://screenrant.com/arrow-season-4-preview-star-city/

Stephen Amell’s version of Oliver Queen/Arrow has endured so many dark and emotionally-draining conflicts since Season 1 of Arrow. While Season 3 was full of loss and heartbreak, the story did manage to end on a high note for the vigilante. Finally, Ollie and Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) have set aside their concerns and decided to become a couple. The two quite literally drove off into the sunset, leaving Star City (yes, it’s now called “Star” City) and their crime fighting ways behind them.John Diggle (David Ramsey), Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy), and Thea Queen (Willa Holland) have kept Team Arrow going while their former leader is living a happy, suburban lifestyle. But Damien Darhk (Neal McDonough) has emerged and he poses a threat that the trio cannot handle – not without Arrow, that is. The basic premise of Season 4 has been known for quite some time, but now a featurette with one of the show’s Executive Producers is shedding a little more light on some of the characters in the first episode of Season 4.In The CW’s video (which can be watched above), Arrow EP Wendy Mericle provides a decent amount of new information. Firstly, Thea and Laurel’s skills have advanced since Season 3’s events. Now, neither is certainly a slouch when it comes to combat (Thea was trained by her vicious father, Malcolm Merlyn, and Laurel trained with Wildcat), but both of them jumping forward – in terms of combat skill – will allow them to be more like their comic book counter-parts, as well as make them even more important players in the team of vigilantes. This could mean less time with them making mistakes and needing to be saved, and more time with them kicking villains in the face. Laurel doesn’t receive much attention in the video; however, a brief clip humorously reveals that Thea is still being called “Speedy”, although she clearly wants her codename to be “Red Arrow”. It’s also mentioned that Diggle now goes by a new identity while in the field, but that name has yet to be announced.

Arrow Season 4: Mr. Terrific First Look Image & Details http://screenrant.com/arrow-season-4-mr-terrific-images/

Arrow Season 4 premieres next Wednesday (at the time of writing this) and new details keep coming forward. Fans already learned of several big changes, like how the new season will embrace an overall lighter tone compared to season 3; that Diggle will finally wear a costume; that Thea shall suit up as an official part of team Arrow; and Oliver and Felicity will be happy… for a while, anyway.In addition to major directional changes, fans are also excited about the slew of new characters joining the cast. Matt Ryan will appear for the first time on Arrow reprising his role as John Constantine, Rutina Wesley (True Blood) is joining the cast as Liza Warner (known in comics as the hilariously titled Lady Cop), Neal McDonough will be playing playing the “purely evil” Damien Dahrk, and finally we have Echo Kellum as Mr. Terrific (Curtis Holt)–who we finally have a first look of.Kellum’s character Curtis Holt is based on Michael Holt, a member of the Justice Society and Checkmate in the DC Comics universe. In addition to being an all around genius, Holt is an Olympic level athlete. In Arrow, the character will appear working with Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) at Palmer Technology. He is described as a tech savant (much like Brandon Routh’s Ray Palmer) and will also be the series’ first openly gay character.Here is what Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim told TV Insider about Curtis (followed by the first look image):

"ARROW" EPS ON TRANSITION TO 'GREEN ARROW' AND DAMIEN DARHK'S PURE EVIL http://www.comicbookresources.com/a...on-to-green-arrow-and-damien-darhks-pure-evil

For the past three years, one of the biggest questions comic books fans have had surrounding DC Comics-based CW series "Arrow" was when -- if ever -- Oliver Queen (played by Stephen Amell) would start to actually call himself "Green Arrow," in keeping with the source material. That question was answered this past July at Comic-Con International when Amell appeared in character in Hall H, referring to his "Arrow" character as "the Green Arrow" -- and given the title of this week's season four premiere, "Green Arrow," viewers won't have to wait long to hear those words on the show.Previously on the show, Queen's costumed vigilante was referred to as "the Hood" or simply "Arrow." Now, he's finally embracing the "Green Arrow" name -- which, along with elements like using a mask rather than face paint and introducing superpowered metahumans, have brought the show -- which started in fall 2012 in a fairly grounded place -- much closer to the world of the comics. Co-showrunner and series executive producer Marc Guggenheim told CBR News during a press event last week at CW headquarters that it felt like a natural choice to make the transition happen this season, which he's already stated will have something of a lighter tone.We were always very upfront about our intention that this was an origin story," Guggenheim said. "We were very deliberate in our choice of, 'He's not the Arrow, he's 'The Hood' at first,' then he becomes the Arrow, and eventually he was going to become the Green Arrow. We didn't have a specific season in mind as to when it would happen, but certainly, for us, it felt very organic to make this the season that [he becomes] Green Arrow."Green Arrow" is what the character has been called since his earliest days; first introduced 1941's "More Fun Comics" #73 by Mort Weisinger and George Papp. Yet for Guggenheim, despite the gradual incorporation of elements like the Green Arrow name and Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy) taking on the Black Canary identity last season, it's not about doing things simply because they exist in comic books -- it has to be for a reason that makes sense for the show.

Arrow Wants To Make One Character Funny Again In Season 4 http://www.cinemablend.com/television/Arrow-Wants-Make-One-Character-Funny-Again-Season-4-90307.html

Arrow Season 3 was a depressing year for all of the show’s main characters, but it was particularly rough for Felicity Smoak. It seemed like the normally funny computer whiz spent more time crying or worrying about Oliver Queen than she did cracking her trademark quips. Fortunately, now that Ra’s al Ghul’s scheme has been foiled and Arrow won’t be as dark for the foreseeable future, fans can look forward to Felicity going back to her humorous ways when Season 4 kicks off. Back in August, executive producer Marc Guggenheim acknowledged that Felicity didn’t get to be as funny during Season 3, but when recently speaking with TV Line, he assured viewers that funny Felicity is “back with a vengeance” this season, with actress Emily Bett Rickards being at the “top of her game.” Guggenheim said:

First Look: What Thea Will Look Like As Speedy On Arrow http://www.cinemablend.com/television/First-Look-What-Thea-Look-Like-Speedy-Arrow-90507.html

Star City has a new archer in town, and her name is Thea Queen. Arrow Season 4 will feature Thea as a full-fledged member of Team Arrow fighting crime out in the field as Speedy. We briefly saw her in costume in the Season 3 finale, but following the official portraits of Oliver Queen in his Green Arrow costume and John Diggle wearing his Magneto-style helmet, The CW has released this official photo of Willa Holland as Thea suited up.Unlike what Oliver and Diggle are wearing this season, the costume that Thea’s wearing isn’t a new one. It’s the same ensemble that her ex-boyfriend Roy Harper wore as Arsenal, albeit adjusted to fit her size. Still, seeing a high resolution shot of her as Speedy just drives it home further that she’ll be lending her crimefighting and archery talents to the show this season. Now that Oliver, Diggle and Thea have been covered, the only costumed member of Team Arrow that has yet to get an official Arrow Season 4 image (complete with city background) is Laurel Lance as Black Canary.

Arrow: Oliver Will Face Against His Worst Enemy Yet in Season 4 http://www.tvguide.com/news/arrow-season-4-spoilers-olicity-damien-darhk/

When Arrow returns for its fourth season on Wednesday, the titular superhero will be enjoying his retirement, living in domestic bliss with Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards). But when Oliver (Stephen Amell) is forced to suit up once more and return to Starling City, he'll discover his newfound happiness challenged by his darkest enemy yet.TVGuide.com spoke with executive producer Wendy Mericle to find out everything you need to know before watching Season 4.

Arrow Fans, Please Welcome Speedy and Her Badass Costume to Your Screens http://www.eonline.com/news/703683/...speedy-and-her-badass-costume-to-your-screens

Thea Queen! Come on down, you're the next member of Team Arrow to get a badass superhero costume. Willa Holland will slip into her Speedy suit in the Arrow season four premiere as one of the newest defenders of Star City (formerly known as Starling City).While Thea, Laurel (Katie Cassidy), and Diggle (David Ramsey) have been holding down the fort in Oliver's (Stephen Amell) absence, as he and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) live in domestic bliss away from all the terrible villains trying to wreak havoc in Star City, they'll get the vigilante back in action in the season four premiere.Season three saw Oliver Queen's little sister transform into a superhero in her own right, thanks to training from her evil biological father, Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman). Back in March, Holland told E! News at her show's Paleyfest celebration that she was really hoping to get a costume of her own"Yes, I can't really say much," she dished when asked whether she'd been bugging producers for her own superhero suit. "But fingers crossed, guys. I'm trying. I want to be in leather, man!"

Arrow Recap: Fooled for the Summer http://collider.com/arrow-season-4-premiere-poll-who-is-in-the-grave/

In a matter of seconds, Arrow’s fourth-season premiere shows viewers all they need to know about the upcoming season: Everything and nothing is the same. At first glance, the opening scene — Oliver Queen, covered in a green hoodie (ha!), sprinting through shrubbery — should feel familiar. After all, each of the three prior season premieres began with Oliver making a mad dash either toward or away from something, be it a speeding truck or the memory of Tommy Merlyn.But the similarity ends there: Oliver emerges from the woods, hoodie now down, and gently jogs down a perfectly manicured suburban street. It’s as picturesque as a pharmaceutical ad, and I almost expect to hear a voice-over warning me about abdominal pain and loss of bladder control. But what I really need is a warning about how cute it is to see Oliver and Felicity in domestic bliss. (“Call your doctor today to ask if Olicity is right for you.”)Having retired from vigilante life at the end of season three, Felicity and Oliver have traded hacking and weaponry for a summer of traveling and farmers' markets. Of the two, you’d think that Oliver would be crawling out of his skin to get back to crime-fighting, but it’s Felicity who can barely make it through brunch with their basic neighbors without drowning her boredom in mimosas. Not that she’s bored with Oliver: The boy can’t even scramble a post-jog egg before she’s up on him. And he’s equally smitten — so much so that he plans to propose soon. His peace with their new life is palpable. Or, as he puts it more succinctly, “I’ll never get tired of making plans that don’t involve people shooting at me.”

‘Arrow’ Season 4 Premiere Poll: Who’s in the Grave? http://collider.com/arrow-season-4-premiere-poll-who-is-in-the-grave/

Arrow‘s Season 4 premiere, “Green Arrow,” was a twisty hour, but the biggest twist was saved for the episode’s stinger. In a flash-forward, we saw Oliver (Stephen Amell) sadly approaching a fresh grave. Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) appeared, and helped establish our timeline but saying he was sorry he missed the funeral, but he was off fighting Zoom (and since Barry doesn’t yet know who Zoom is exactly or what’s going on, this grave situation is probably going to be a season-long mystery). Oliver blames himself for what’s happened, asks to be left alone, and sheds a tear.So! The question is: who’s in the grave? According to a recent interview, executive producers Marc Guggenheim and Wendy Mericle said,

Arrow Returns! We Need To Talk About That Betrayal, That New Big Bad, and That Final Scene...http://www.eonline.com/news/704262/...e&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_tvnews

We're so conflicted, guys!We're so happy to have Arrow back, but having it back apparently means that someone's about to die, and that's never fun. OK, sometimes it's fun. But it probably won't be fun this time, because Oliver was crying, and when Oliver cries, we cry. We cry so hard. But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Let's break down that premiere!First of all, we need a spin-off webseries, comic book, gifset, whatever-we-can-get situation with Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) living in that adorable house for six months with Oliver cooking and Felicity secretly helping Team Arrow behind his back, while failing at her own attempts to cook. "Felicity Smoak, you have failed this omelette." Like, are you kidding us? This is like shipper Christmas! A new part of us was born when Oliver put that ring in that souffle, and that same new part of us died when Thea and Laurel interrupted the proposal to bring Felicity and Oliver back into the real world of saving Star City from constant threat of destruction. Of course, it was probably a welcome interruption in the end, because as cute as Olicity may have been in that house, they couldn't stay there forever, just having brunch with the Hoffmans all the time. They're destined for bigger things, and those bigger things involve saving their city from our new favorite bad guy, Damien Darhk (Neal McDonough).

‘Arrow’ Wastes No Time in Ramping Up the Action for Season 4 http://www.cheatsheet.com/entertain...p-the-action-for-season-4.html/?ref=YF&tpl=op

Season premieres are generally utilized as tools to set up the real conflict of a story yet to unfold. They make a point to tease at the year’s villain, creating a reality for our heroes that eases them into a greater battle to be fought episodes down the way. Rarely do you see a show hit the ground running the way Arrow did for its Season 4 premiere this week.When we last saw Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), he had left his superhero persona behind to settle down in the suburbs with the incomparable Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards). Not surprisingly, all that unraveled in less than a few minutes during the season premiere.The newly renamed Star City is (as always) in peril. Covert operatives are raiding weapon supplies, and then disappearing without a trace, all while the city falls into complete ruin. The Arrow is presumed dead, while Thea, Laurel, and Diggle take to the streets to try and stop these “ghosts.” Finding themselves overmatched, they call on Oliver to come out of retirement and help them fight. Right about here is where most season premieres would call it good and let the rest of the season do the talking. Arrow affords us no such relief.We’re quickly introduced to our latest villain, Damien Darhk, as he waltzes into a room of city leaders to kindly inform them of his plans to destroy Star City. Later on, we see him exhibit the ability to kill a man with a single touch, telepathically stop arrows, and put on Neal McDonough’s general air of blue-eyed menace. The episode wraps up with our titular hero (finally) adopting the “Green Arrow” moniker, the reveal that Captain Lance is reluctantly in league with Darhk, and a six-month flash forward to Oliver in tears, grimly standing over an unmarked grave.

McDonough Goes Darhk In 'Arrow' https://www.yahoo.com/celebrity/news/arrow-mcdonough-goes-darhk-045046924.html

He may be working to bring pain and destruction to the recently renamed Star City, but villainous Damien Darhk is a lot of fun to watch on "Arrow."Neal McDonough joined the cast of the show to play Damien, Ra's al Ghul's former rival, on The CW drama for its fourth season.New villain Damien faced off with members of Team Arrow in the show's season premiere. He had a very interesting face-to-face encounter with two of them -- John Diggle and the newly renamed Green Arrow – just before they foiled his plot to blow up the train station. At this point, Damien isn't worried about the man in the hood. But he will be."I know the Arrow's dead. I'm like, 'Who is this guy in this new Arrow outfit, trying to pretend that he's the Green Arrow?' For me, he's just another clown in the middle of the circus that I just need to get rid of. But this clown turns out to be the ringleader and I can't get rid of him, which drives me bonkers," Neal said.

‘Arrow’ Showrunner Discusses LGBT Characters, Family Dynamics in Season 4 http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/arr...ver-mayor-laurel-sara-lazarus-pit-1201618389/

Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) took another step towards his DC Comics destiny in episode 402 of “Arrow,” making the decision to run for mayor of Star City after yet another candidate, Jessica Danforth (Jeri Ryan) was intimidated into dropping out of the race by Lonnie Machin (Alexander Calvert) aka DC Comics villain Anarky.While Oliver was trying to step into the light, his ally Laurel (Katie Cassidy) seemed to be taking a darker path in this week’s episode. After learning about Thea’s (Willa Holland) resurrection in Nanda Parbat via the Lazarus Pit, we saw her become determined to try and save her own sister, Sara (Caity Lotz), who was murdered last season, by similarly mystical means.“In keeping with our general theme of family this year, we’re going to keep her in the family, dealing with her sister, dealing with her father, and where do those relationships take her?” previews “Arrow” co-showrunner Wendy Mericle. “It’s a big part of her story for the season, the return of Sara… Lance and Laurel have made peace in the intervening months… When Sara comes back, each of them are gonna have surprising reactions to it, and we’re not gonna replay the rift of last season but we’re going to find new ways to deepen that relationship and complicate it, because this is a central part of her life and her story this season.”With Laurel and Thea headed to Nanda Parbat in next week’s episode, the show is also sowing the seeds of John Constantine’s (Matt Ryan) first appearance on “Arrow,” which will occur in episode 405. “We knew Sara was coming back and we wanted to have her soul… she needed to be resurrected, and even in the world of the comic books, he’s the guy to do it,” Mericle says of Constantine’s cameo. “We weren’t sure it was all going to work out, but DC was very generous and Matt Ryan’s schedule worked out and we’re very excited.”

'Arrow's' newest villain Neal McDonough reveals his big plans for Star City http://www.latimes.com/entertainmen...ien-darhk-arrow-interview-20151009-story.html

Neal McDonough didn't read a lot of comic books growing up. But the first time he picked up an issue of "Superman," his eyes wandered away from the Man of Steel and toward the guy giving the hero fits, the megalomaniac Lex Luthor.To McDonough, whose found himself playing the villain more often than not during his 20-plus-year career on screen, the bad guys were just more interesting."I always gravitated more towards the fun villain," he says, letting loose a slightly sinister chuckle. "And now I’m making a wonderful living at it.”While he may have grown up idolizing one of the greatest rogues in DC Comics' history, McDonough is excited to be working from a blank slate as he steps into the role of Damien Darhk in the fourth season of CW's "Arrow."In its first three years on air, "Arrow" has put some of the source material's most nefarious villains on screen to test Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), including Green Arrow arch-nemesis Merlyn, DC's master assassin Deathstroke and A-List Batman bad guy Ra's Al Ghul. But in Darhk, McDonough finds a villain he can make all his own. While the character is little more than a bit player in the comics, the version of Darhk that's come to "Arrow" is an extremely cocksure, and possibly superhuman, foe.

'Arrow' Is Bringing Sara Lance Back in the Worst Way Possible http://www.buddytv.com/articles/arrow/arrow-is-bringing-sara-lance-b-57771.aspx

There was little TV news from last season that excited me more than The CW announcing another DC superhero spin-off, Legends of Tomorrow, with Caity Lotz' Sara Lance as one of the leads. Fans of the first, and arguably best, Canary have waited impatiently to see how Arrow (or The Flash) would bring Sara back. As of the Arrow episode, "The Candidate" and the preview for the next, "Restoration" it looks like the means of Sara's revival has been all but confirmed. Laurel plans to take Sara to Lazarus Pits and resurrect her sister despite knowing all the dangerous side-effects that occur. This is without a doubt the worst possible way to bring Sara Lance back to life.

Unfortunately, Constantine never really stood a chance; NBC gave the DC Comics series a terrible Friday time slot and barely promoted it ahead of the premiere, so it ultimately being cancelled surprised no one. However, fans quickly launched a #SaveConstantine campaign, and while that failed to find the show another network, it helped set the stage for Matt Ryan to reprise the role in season four of Arrow.It’s been said that this is going to be a one off appearance for the character (quite possibly because Warner Bros. has plans for him in the upcoming Justice League Dark movie), but he’ll show up in the fifth episode, which is titled “Haunted”:

Check Out The Exciting Promo For Next Week’s Episode Of Arrow http://wegotthiscovered.com/tv/check-exciting-promo-weeks-arrow/

The latest episode of The CW’s Arrow has finished up, and the network has now aired the teaser for next week’s installment: “Restoration.” This looks to be quite an eventful one, as Laurel Lance returns to Nanda Parbat with Sara’s body (wouldn’t there be some serious decomposition at this point?) to beg Ra’s al Ghul (now Malcolm Merlyn) to use the Lazarus pit and raise her little sister from the dead.Of course, we know actress Caity Lotz is returning as White Canary in the spinoff show Legends Of Tomorrow, but we still don’t know exactly how this will be accomplished, so there’s definitely a bit of mystery left here.The episode will also see the debut of JR Bourne (Teen Wolf, Stargate, Revenge) as Jeremy Tell, AKA Double Down. The DC supervillain can turn his playing card tattoos into weapons, and was actually always more closely associated with The Flash in the comics, so there’s a good chance we’ll see him pop up on that CW show, too.For more information, check out the episode synopsis below and let us know in the comments section if you’ll be tuning into Arrow next week.

‘Arrow’: Echo Kellum on His Audition Process and His Terrific Transformation http://collider.com/arrow-season-4-echo-kellum-interview/

Curtis Holt (the terrifically fun Echo Kellum), aka the future Mr. Terrific, is already a great addition to The CW series Arrow, as a friend, confidant and equally intelligent sounding board for Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards). They’re both always thinking about how to help the residents of Star City and have a belief in the good of humanity that many of those around them have become far more cynical about.During this exclusive phone interview with Collider, ultra-charming actor Echo Kellum talked about his audition process, when he learned the actual role he’d be playing on the show, how they keep him totally in the dark about his Mr. Terrific transition, that his four closest friends are so excited about his role on Arrow, what his first day on set was like, the dynamic duo of Curtis and Felicity, and what Curtis thinks of Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell).

'Arrow' Co-Star Echo Kellum Teases 'Terrific' Transformation and Being Oliver's New Pal https://www.yahoo.com/tv/s/arrow-co-star-echo-kellum-150600944.html

Arrow's terrific new face is putting a stamp on Star City.Curtis Holt, Felicity's Palmer Tech employee and future Mr. Terrific, made quite a splash last week when he nearly fired himself and suggested to company VIPs that he was in the midst of inventing game-changing technology -- a fib Felicity told to save his job from unemployment.In tonight's all-new episode, "Restoration," Curtis gets a front-row seat to the danger that regularly follows Team Arrow when he comes face-to-face with his first baddie, Double Down (played by Teen Wolf's J.R. Bourne) â?? a position the tech wiz is "definitely not used to," Echo Kellum admits.The actor, who starred in Ben and Kate and Sean Saves the World, jumped on the phone earlier this week with ETonline to chat all things Arrow!

Why original Team Arrow is way better than the new lineup http://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/1099993/arrow-season-4-episode-3-review?ref=yfp

Are you listening, The CW? The fans made themselves pretty clear during tonight's episode of Arrow: They want original Team Arrow to stay exactly as it is.In the latest episode of Arrow, Oliver (Stephen Amell), Diggle (David Ramsey) and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) were back together as a team all on their own and viewers couldn't stop talking about it on Twitter. Once Felicity mentioned how good it felt to have the original team back — "the OGs, the original gangstas" — it fired up the fandom and made nearly everyone express how much they loved it, too.

5 Reasons Arrow Is Better Than The Flash http://www.cinemablend.com/television/5-Reasons-Arrow-Better-Than-Flash-93917.html

The CW’s DC universe is pretty impressive. Over the three years since Arrow premiered in 2012, the universe has expanded to include sister series The Flash and upcoming spinoff Legends of Tomorrow. Both Arrow and The Flash have been huge success stories for The CW, and fans of both shows are lucky enough to get a double dose of superheroes each week. Of course, the many differences between the two shows inevitably draw comparisons between them. Arrow has admittedly had more time to establish itself than The Flash, as archer extraordinaire Oliver Queen has just begun his fourth season on the air on Arrow while speedster Barry Allen only is only racing into his second over at The Flash. While both shows definitely have their merits, comparisons between the two lead to one logical conclusion in my mind: Arrow is just better. Check out the five reasons why!

The Latest 'Arrow' Episode Crushed Fan Theory Dreams ... Probably..."Restoration" had big implications for Tommy Merlyn. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry...ddbe4b0aac0b8fc0913?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000592

Ever since Oliver Queen's best friend Tommy Merlyn died at the end of "Arrow" Season 1, fans have been theorizing -- or at least wishing -- that he would come back to life. Or even that he had somehow survived a building collapse and a rebar impalement!The most likely scenario for his revival seemed to be that he would be dunked in the miraculous Lazarus Pit, which had previously been used to bring Thea Queen back from the dead. This worked well with some lore from the "Arrow" comics, too, because over there, Tommy had an alter ego as a villain named Merlyn -- and the Lazarus Pit has a way of changing the people it revives for the worse. So it seemed plausible that Tommy would be revived in the Lazarus Pit and return as a villain. Last night's "Arrow" episode, though, seemed to shut down this possibility. Warning: Spoilers ahead. The Lazarus Pit was used in the episode, to bring back Sara Lance, younger sister to Tommy's former squeeze, Laurel Lance. Afterwards, though, Nyssa al Ghul -- a former fling of Sara's -- destroyed the Lazarus Pit, using her familial powers. That means that there's no clear way left to revive Tommy. He's probably dead for good ... or is he?

The One Character We Won't See In The Arrow And Flash Crossover http://www.cinemablend.com/television/One-Character-We-Won-t-See-Arrow-Flash-Crossover-94837.html

The CW has cornered the market on superhero series on the small screen. The premiere of Arrow in 2012 was successful enough to warrant a spinoff in the form of The Flash in 2014. A two-night crossover extravaganza between the two shows hit the airwaves back in December to the delight of fans and critics alike, and Flarrow was an immediate hit. Now, with third installment in the CW universe Legends of Tomorrow premiering in 2016, both Arrow and The Flash have had a lot of work to do to set up the latest spinoff. This year’s crossover extravaganza will have a massive cast of characters to juggle. As it turns out, the influx of new faces means that one of the most pivotal Flash characters won’t be playing a part: Iris West. Actress Candice Patton had this to say in an interview with MTV about Iris’ upcoming absence:
