His contract was for 2 seasons and they didn't renew. So he came forward as the "Arrow," got shanked in jail and "died," and left Starling.

So yeah

Yeah I remember all the plot poo poo (and due to the writing was why I was asking) but didn't know about the contract poo poo. Huh, well... okay.

Colton Haynes thought he could make it in movies. But his first movie was San Andreas, so... unless he's too prideful, or left on bad terms, we might see him right back on Arrow.

I don't know if he will ever go back to being a regular, but it seems like he enjoys guest starring. I expect he will keep showing up from time to time. Ironically, he'll probably get more story-lines this way.

They didn't offer him the same terms as the other recurring characters which is part of why he left.

They probably realized that it was pointless to pay him a bunch, when it always seemed to be his scenes that were on the cutting room floor.

Yeah, definitely need less Arsenal and more time for Open Felicity Weeping, more scenes of Black Canary 2.no going from Cant Beat a Street Punk to Beating Down Multiple League of Assassin Bros by the end of the episode.

Roy getting fried by Ray and just forgotten about for the rest of the scene is probably still one of the single most hilarious parts of Arrow's 3rd season. It's just so flippant. Oliver doesn't so much as look over to make sure he's still breathing, doesn't go check once he's done dealing with the suit. Just leaves him passed the gently caress out and electrocuted on the ground, end scene.

More casting news

We are getting a new hero in Mr Terrific, played by Echo Kellum. Its the Curtis Holt version, a wealthy tech guy who will be working with Felicity. Good news is it won't just be a rehash of Atom because the character is openly gay in the show.

We are getting a new villain in Anarky, played by Alexander Calvert.

Nah I don't give a rats rear end about what team the character bats for it just (probably) means more more "FELICITY HAX THE WORLD BETTER THAN ANYONE" bug-eyed-bandit-episode level of bullshittery.

On the plus side that should at least mean less crying. :shrug:

As if Felicity needs a logical reason to cry anymore.

I hope Laurel does update the costume a little. I always thought that the trenchcoat/cloak thing that Black Canary wore for some time in the Birds of Prey comics (that I unfortunately can't find any good pics of) might fit Laurel's body type a bit better.



Minus the fishnets, natch.

Rise of Arsenal may very well be the worst comic book ever, but they determined it depicted addiction and PTSD well. They're more about awareness.
