The "Arrow" Season 4 DISCUSSION Thread

[Black Samurai]

Still on the 1st 1.

Just skip 1 and go ahead and play 2 Bruce. Its the best one in the series

 

[MikelArteta]

Still trash, at least Felicity didn't have huge scenes. Show is much better when it's just dig l and ollie fighting instead of some big ass team.

I watched this on the DVR last night when I got back home and I dozed off around the time Oliver and Felicity were being told about how that cheap statue ran on hope then woke up right around the time DIggle shot his brother.
And I didn't feel all that eager to rewind to catch the parts I missed.

Also was that big ass dome Thea was in supposed to be under Star City? How exactly do you fit an entire suburb under a city like that? Is Star City built on top of Middle Earth?

ETHER Hand came thru, and Snoop Dogg the building Perfect time for a Flabbrow's team vacation, tho Of course, Felicity tagged along Casino Royal Immortal chick looked like Nyssa Rasta/Buddha idol rock in the cut Darkness CG1 put HOLMESLiver on that Summer Jam Screen Backstabber Andy's torture chamber FUKKERY Am I My Brother's Keeper Not when you endanger Lil Nugget/Lila Purple Heart Dig did that, so hopefully WE wouldn't have to go thru that Thea needs hearing aids Wait, they got her stuck in the Outer Limits

Seen the episode but forgot to post in here this episode was wayy better than the last seems like the pieces are coming together and that "Hub City" namedrop ...Diggle's on that subtle path that's going to divide the team i think we'll see what magic this show has left in the next coming weeks

 

[Optimus Prime]

No Flashbacks

 

[MikelArteta]

No Flashbacks

Yeah, there was an article about it a few weeks ago, i think it might have been posted in here, where they admitted that the flashbacks have been horrible this season...

 

[MikelArteta]

Thea has that Caitlin gene in choosing men

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Just skip 1 and go ahead and play 2 Bruce. Its the best one in the series

I bought the Collection though, I feel obligated to play them all. Dumb?

This what I been saying. Too many people in the damn field. Ollie and Dig, Mr terrific in the lab (fukk felicity) and we good money

 

[Black Samurai]

You could play them all, but 1 is the worst in the series. It felt like a chore to finish that game. I would just play 2 and 3

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Yo could play them all, but 1 is the worst in the series. It felt like a chore to finish that game. I would just play 2 and 3

I believe you, it has really become a chore but I think it has just aged poorly.



Very Poorly.

Flashbacks aren't going anywhere unfortunately

'Arrow' Bosses Promise Better Flashbacks in Season 5

part of the appeal of the flashbacks – certainly in the first two years, but I think the first three years – is seeing what a big difference it is between Oliver Queen in the present day and Oliver Queen five years ago. The problem is that we are telling a five-year story in the flashbacks of Oliver becoming the guy you met in the pilot. So the deeper you get into the flashbacks, the closer he becomes to being that guy, and, thus, you lose that element of the flashbacks that was so interesting, which is how different he was…. That’s something we have struggled with this year.

That said, co-executive producer Wendy Mericle spoke to TVLine of Season 5 having a more specific plan to focus those final flashbacks, without necessarily altering how Arrow utilizes them:

"The way we write the story is still very much married to that backstory, and trying to change it up at this point would feel weird … We know what we’re working up to. The season will be easier to break because we have an endpoint, and we work backwards from there.

The most recent episode’s flashback seemingly tipped to Russia serving as locale in Season 5, given Taiana (Elysia Rotaru)’s request that Oliver inform her family, should she not survive, as well as a few unexplained elements of Oliver’s ties to the Russian mafia. Mericle wouldn’t explicitly confirm as much, but at least noted “it’s a very good possibility that we’ll finally find out how Oliver got that Bratva tattoo and how he learned to speak Russian.”

Heard last night's episode rating tied with the series low.
