This interview is old but I just noticed something.

quote:

Arrow is no slouch in hand-to-hand combat. He’s held his own, and even bested, such expert fighters as China White, Malcolm Merlyn and Slade Wilson. Oliver has obviously received extensive training and will be mastering another martial art soon.

“One of the cool things we are going to do this year is we have never, in the present day, seen Oliver learn anything new, except maybe how to smile more. In terms of combat, Oliver is going to learn something new this year, which I’m very excited about.”

Who's gonna teach him how to fight and what martial art is he gonna learn?

The little understood martial art of making your enemy poo poo himself when you grab the blade of their sword with your bare hand and go :stare: at them.

Wrong comic universe though. Although, it could be fun to watch Arrow team up with Howard the Duck to fight Dr. Bong, I don't see the show going that way.

Interesting that we look to be in for some Atom suit prototyping, a la Iron Man. I was kinda thinking they'd use the 5 week time lapse to show him already suited up after the winter break.

A major time jump wouldn't make sense to me thematically since we'd be skipping past the important mourning period and especially how Team Arrow handles Thea. And it would skip past the immediate "What now?" for Team Arrow.

I think the way to go if I was the show runner would be to do the next episode as immediate fallout and mourning. End with Team Arrow vowing to carry on Oliver's legacy, Ray getting his first Atom prototype going, and Oliver rising from the dead.

Then with the next episode skip ahead a month or two or three. Team Arrow is working out the kinks with Roy in the green hood and Laurel as Canary. Ray is working out the kinks of his armor and trying to get it into a practical form. The new crime fighters of Starling City are struggling. Meanwhile Oliver is recovering and finally able to start training. We find out who saved him and what kind of state he's in. Episode ends with Team Arrow and Atom getting their poo poo together as Ollie starts to get his poo poo together.

Then skip ahead another couple of months for the next episode. Team Arrow and Atom are pulling it together and managing to move past Ollie and to the future. Then boom, episode ends with Olliver returning to Starling City to find he's been replaced, not just by his own team but Atom.

So I'd probably be cool with condensing as much as six months into the next few episodes as everyone recovers, but I think for the next episode we need to start up right where we left off to get the important character and motivation stuff as well as the awesome visual of Oliver rising from a Lazarus Pit.

If we're in for time lapses they'll probably come in montage form rather than episode - lapse - episode. Major lapses between weekly episodes would be super jarring.

The trailer for the midseason premiere of The Flash gaves us our first look at Pied Piper, so I guess our douchey DJ is out of the running for that position.

Arrow has always had its own time sync up with real world time so 5 week break for us = 5 weeks pass for the characters. I expect we'll jump in on them searching for Ollie who they think is just missing

There's still music meister. Although in all probability Merlyn is going to kill him so Thea can realize just how much of a oval office Merlyn is.

Unless the entire sentence Malcolm was saying is "Oliver Queen is dead but I am bringing him back in 3 episodes", I don't see how that scene doesn't end with Diggle filling his face with bullets while Roy flips around.

Eh.

"It was Oliver's choice to face Ra's to protect Thea. If you do anything to me I've made sure that the truth will get to Ra's. Will you let Oliver die in vain and make Thea suffer?"

Merlyn's safe until someone convinces Ra's to pardon Thea.

You'd have to work in the "Look! Up in the sky!" bit somewhere.

And I kinda want the crossover to happen if only so they ditch the idea of Superman already existing in the Supergirl show. It's a fresher idea if she's the first one.

I like Roy as a character - theres a lot of potential for him there and maybe i'm just a sucker for sidekicks in general (Off hand the only super hero movie that had a sidekick in recently was captain america 1).

But I also think its great that Roy's main trait at the moment is useless flipping.

Supergirl first episode will just be an hourlong FOX news talking heads report with them all yelling about how American morals are disappearing with the coming of aliens, and how the Founding Fathers didn't want to give even normal women the right to vote, so this one that flies around should be put to death. Also, look at her breasts.
