And we are back for TV Titanics.
Thought we would check in on Starling City's Emerald Archer and crew.
This is Arrow Season 4.

When last we left them, tension was
high when even his own crew thought Ollie (Stephen Amell of
Hung, Private Practice, Heartland, Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham,
Injustice: Gods Among Us, Arrow and The Flash)
was believed to have join Ras al Ghul (Matt Nable
of Killer Elite, Riddick, Son of a Gun and Hacksaw Ridge)
and his quest to eradicate evil by the most extreme of measures,
including unleashing a terminal virus in his own city. Ollie thwarts
and even kills off Ras but the trust of his team has been damaged.
He and Felcity (Emily Bett Rickards of Soldiers
of the Apocalypse, Romeo Killer: The Chris Porco Story, Arrow, Arrow:
Blood Rush, Normal Doors, Vixen and The Flash)
head off to the suburbs to play house and Ollie appears to be genuinely happy.

So
of course Thea a.k.a. Speedy (Willa Holland of
The O.C., A Summer in Genoa, Legion, Straw Dogs, Tiger Eyes, Gossip
Girl and Arrow)
and former girlfriend/assistant district attorney/crimefighter Black
Canary (Katie Cassidy of 7th
Heaven, Black Christmas, Spin, Supernatural, Harper's Island, Melrose
Place, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Arrow The Wolves at the Door)
so up explaining about high-tech robberies, paramilitary trained and
armed men and an end game they cannot predict. They need the Arrow.
Dr.
Palmer, (Brandon Routh of Superman Returns, Zack
and Miri Make a Porno, Fling, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Chuck,
Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow)
boy billionaire with his high-tech super suit...say that sounds
vaguely familiar but I think Robert Downey Jr.did that better. Oh
well. An experiment caused the top floor of what is now Palmer
Consolidated to explode and no sign of Palmer anywhere. Leaving
Felicity as the acting head of the company.

| Villain monologue, people. Take 5. |
Diggle
a.k.a. Spartan (David Ramsey of Con Air, The Good
News, All of Us, Dexter, Outlaw and Blue Bloods)
has reservations with working with Ollie again after his shadow-play
with Ras damn near got the mother of his child almost killed. With
all this drama, clearly we need a main villain. Enter Damien Dahrk
(Neal McDonough of Star Trek: First Contact, The
Incredible Hulk, Ravenous, Band of Brothers, Captain America: The
First Avenger, RED 2 and Mob City)
a man with an organization, drive, ambition and sights on ruining
this city and many others.
Will
Darhk put the city's lights out? Will Team Arrow be able to
recover??
This
season gets to expand well on Season 3's existing story line making
Thea a weapon thanks to "Daddy" Malcolm Merlyn via John Barrowman and his
League of Assassins. Also Team-ups occuring with other DC characters
like Hawkman, Hawkgirl, along with the Flash (Grant
Gustin of 90210, Glee, Affluenza, Superhero Fight Club, Vixen,
Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow and The Flash)
being further established. So yeah the budget got upped,
performances are a bit over the top, we have magic, metahumans and
all thing expected of this comic book universe. And did I mention
a new lightweight nomex kevlar body armor and hood combo?
