Best version of it from the OnTheBench synopsis' has to be this one from later in the season.

I honestly wouldn't blame him one bit for just saying gently caress it. Apparently killing off Laurel and having her final words be to give her blessings to Olicity was nearly enough to make him quit right then and there.

The show is reportedly “getting back to its roots,” focusing on Team Arrow in a grittier, more grounded reality that calls back to the first season.

haha, right, sure, this time, no doubt!

The comic books definitely got away with not including Black Canary and still being fine after the New 52 since they leaned on the other pillars of Ollie's identity like martial arts and his Liberalism

The bulk of the N52 Green Arrow comics are actually really bad aside from the short Jeff Lemire run and DC knows it. There's a reason they did a hard reset on him with Rebirth and brought BC back into his life.

Give me a live action version of that one animated short where he takes on Count Vertigo and Merlyn, and proposes to BC after she saves him from Vertigo.

Like, everything I read makes me salivate over the respective CW DC shows, and then I remember how I felt the same way pre-season last year.

If Dolph can be half as good as Neal McDonough we'll be in good hands though.

Flashbacks


Season 1: Watch a yuppie become a warrior!
Season 2: Experience the birth of superpowers in the DC Universe, and the tragic tale of Slade Wilson!
Season 3: poo poo, we're out of money. Throw a lantern on that Canadian stop sign, we're good. And add some asians.
Season 4: gently caress it. Caves? Magic?

I just looked up Jimmy Akingbola, the guy who played Reiter in the flashbacks, and I think it's a testament to the writing of this show that they can take an award-winning theater actor who starred in a play opposite Ian loving McKellen and make him the most stilted, uninteresting "villain" of any show on TV.

quote:

The “Flashpoint” timeline may be one where Oliver Queen’s best friend, Tommy Merlyn, didn’t die saving Laurel Lance during The Glades Earthquake.

“I can’t tell you how many people I’ve talked to about the possibility and how it could possibly happen,” Colin Donnell, the actor who plays Tommy, told TV Line when the topic was brought to his attention. “It’s not out of the realm of possibility.”

Of course, just because conversations have been had doesn’t mean that it’s a sure thing. Far from it. However, “Flashpoint” is just the kind of alternate reality storyline that provides a unique opportunity to see old friends in a new light. If Arrow ever wanted to revisit Tommy and his relationships with Oliver and Laurel, this seems like the perfect opportunity to do so.

Ok, now this is definitely something I'd love to see. Tommy was such a great character.

Knowing Mericle and Guggenheim they'll probably gently caress it up so royally we would rather wish Tommy stay dead.

That is my least favorite aspect of modern entertainment journalism. Its just reporters asking unsubstantiated questions like that of actors that get turned into clickbait articles.

Yeah that article could just as easily been "Any character that has previously died could possibly return due to Flashpoint. Or actually if you think about it anyone who didn't die could have died. Just click the link and give us the money " without the hassle of finding an actor and asking them a question.

Colin Donnell was at Wizard World Chicago on Friday. A guy two places in line ahead of us asked him if he was excited to be returning and he said "It's all just talk right now, nobody has asked me if I want to come back for anything."
