The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Arrow gets Starling City, Flash gets Central City, Atom gets Feli City.

Yeah this is all really implying that Arrow is bound to start going down the superpowered/metahuman road. Especially if they bring Oliver back through the Lazarus Pits.

Only problem with Atom getting its own spinoff would be how they're going to get him his own city. Arrow has at least 2 more seasons (4 and 5) to go through so Starling City is their turf, and Flash has Central City. I mean unless they plan on crossing over Atom/Arrow consistently, Palmer's gonna have to move out.

I'm sure Palmer has interests in other cities. I'm blanking, did his wife die in Starling? Maybe Ivy City needs a hero pretty badly next year. At least with Flash they can move Ronnie across the lake/river to Central City or something.

Palmer's stated that his main interest is saving Starling City because he lost his fiancee to the MIrakuru goon attacks at the end of season 2.

Also Arrow/Flash are going to have annual crossovers! :neckbeard::neckbeard::neckbeard:

I wonder what will happen with Arrow after they run out of flashbacks? I do think it would be really funny if Season 6 was interspersed with clips from Season 1.

End of season 5 he has a flashback about the time JUUUUUST before returning to Starling City, when he ran into Darkseid who hit him with the Omega Sanction which sent him back to the prehistoric caveman era. Seasons 6-10 are about his efforts to return to his own time so he can finally go.... home.

That happens at the start of the season, flashbacks are about him surviving and sending messages forward through time by writing in book, altering art etc. Felicity realises what's happened/happening and he is rescued by the flash during the crossover, the remainder of the seasons flashbacks are to him in the past explaining his amazing new skills/further ptsd.

Yeah, Amell said that flashbacks would all be seasons 1-5, with the very last episode of Season 5 ending with the very first scene from the pilot, him lighting the signal fire that led to his rescue. What comes after that is open to the producers I guess, depending on how well the show maintains its popularity (which shouldn't be too hard, especially if they're doing annual Flash/Arrow crossovers).

There are also a few more Arrow Family members from the DCU to reference/introduce before then.

One of my friends is of the opinion that in the pilot, Ollie wasn't rescued by chance. More that he decided at that stage to allow himself to be rescued so as to move on with his plans. If so, a Year Five that shows him becoming this tactical genius and someone who engineers his own rescue would be cool to watch.

Yeah during his date with Felicity at the start of the season, he talks about coming back, but phrases it as something like "when I decided to come back home..."

I'm guessing that sometime in year 4 he'll have a chance to be rescued, but the collective survivor's guilt makes him stay a little longer.

It is heavily implied in the pilot that Oliver chose that moment to return home. We don't know what, if anything, made him specifically need to come back at that particular point though.

Sep 28, 2010

Come to think of it it is a little strange given all the crazy poo poo that has happened to him in flashbacks since the S1 flashbacks that one day he just remembered that book of names his dad had and decided to make it his life all of a sudden.

They'll probably tie it back into the flashbacks later on but right now everything about that book seems like the loosest of loose ends and I don't feel like that's intentional.

Aphrodite

He mentioned there being more than one book, didn't he?

I would think he finds another copy on someone and that makes him realize what it really is or something.

I'm pretty sure Oliver will find his way back to Starling City sometime within the next 2.5 seasons' worth of flashbacks, especially considering how Tommy is going to be coming back in flashbacks soon (no way in hell he's going back to Hong Kong either after that poo poo Oliver pulled on him). Whether it's as a favor from Waller, or Waller forcing him to take on a job in Starling, we're going to find out.

But I'm pretty sure that next to the Bratva thing, him coming back to Starling before his rescue is a thing that's going to happen.

Just a reminder that Thea's middle name has already been confirmed as Dearden and her longstanding nickname is Speedy. So they already have used that particular winking allusion already.
