Arrow returns Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 8/7c.
Team Arrow Together Again
Team Arrow has reshaped over the years, but it’s still together and fighting strong. Felicity and Oliver will be pulled back into action as the fourth season starts.
Hard Decisions – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
A lighter Oliver will return to crime fighting. It’s probably a big decision for him to put the suit back on, but now he has his lady love with him, so hopefully it won’t weigh him down as much as it has in the past.
Seeking Advice – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
A couple of Team Arrow members are seeking advice from the man himself. Is Oliver having a hard time deciding to put on the suit? Will his sister, looking absolutely amazing as Speedy, push him over the edge and into his new green look?
At the Helm – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
Felicity is back at the helm of the Team Arrow control board. While Black Canary, Speedy and Diggle were leading the charge in her and Oliver’s absence, who do you think manned the board? How on earth did they manage without a point person? We’ll find out!
Encouragement – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
Felicity appears to be offering her boyfriend and soon to be Green Arrow some encouragement. Will it be easy for the two of them to pick up where they left off, as a part of Team Arrow, together as a couple and fitting into the old dynamic?
Hand Holding – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
Now that they’re out in the open, they can old hands not only for encouragement when the going gets tough, but to show their affection for one another without worry. Awww. Isn’t that sweet?
New Threads – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
The Green Arrow threads await Oliver Queen. They look as good on the mannequin as they will look on the man, don’t you think?
Old Friends – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
John Diggle and Oliver Queen come face to face. From the look on Diggle’s, it’s going to be slow going for these old friends to get back the trust and camaraderie they once shared, but it will certainly be worth it in the end.
Nekkid Mannequin! – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
I like the look of the nekkid mannequin in the background of this photo now that Oliver has donned the Green Arrow costume. It leaves it somewhat vulnerable, don’t you think?
Three Amigos – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
This is the Team Arrow that was protecting Star City (so renamed in honor of Ray Palmer’s vision of the city after his death) while the Arrow was gone. Things were going very well until they felt they could use a hand with the darhkness come their way by Damien Darhk.
Stakeout – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
Really have no idea what is going on here, but Speedy, Black Canary, John Diggle and Oliver Queen (not suited up) appear to be on a stakeout in a very cool location.
Perched – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
Speedy is perched up and ready for action in this pic. She’ll be dealing with issues that Oliver passed over because his journey was a little different to becoming a superhero.
Natural Hair – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
I love that Laurel has ditched the wigs for her natural hair as Black Canary. It takes away the comic feel and makes her look very gritty and ready for action. In the three months they’ve been on the streets, she’s come into her own, and we will likely enjoy her character progression.
Speedy Crouching – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
When Speedy isn’t in costume, she’ll have a new love interest and find it interesting trying to maintain a secret identity. It’s not something that was really explored in depth with Oliver, so they’ll take the time to go through it with Thea, instead.
Black Canary – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
In an interview with EW, Katie Cassidy said of Laurel, “She’s going to do whatever it takes, especially when it comes to saving Starling City — [which is] something that she’s always done by the book. Being an attorney and working at the District Attorney’s Office, she’s been very involved on the legal side of things, and I think that this is her time to shine being a part of the A story and the action.”
Still Waiting – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
In other news, Thea will also have an unexpected connection to Lonnie Machin, aka Anarky, a psychotic criminal who poses a major threat in the second episode. It seems as though her life is about to get a heck of a lot more interesting!
The New Evil Leader – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
This is Damien Darhk in action! Neal McDonough will be playing the tough guy, and it looks like he has command of an entire army! While he might look innocent enough, word is he’s the toughest baddie we’ve seen on Arrow yet.
Damien Darhk in Command – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
Damien Darhk is the leader of H.I.V.E. HIVE, I THINK stands for Holistic Integration for Viral Equality and was responsible for turning Caitlin Snow into Killer Frost, among other things, in the comics. Crossover potential alert!! There were two versions, so don’t quote me on this. Damien was connected to this version, from what I can tell.
Stranglehold – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
Damien Darhk has a really nice way of greeting people, right? Just grab them right there on the neck. If you recall, HIVE was integral in the death of Diggle’s brother, Andy, so this season will be up close and personal for our beloved Dig!
Dead or Alive? – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
This looks like a fun game of dead or alive. There are a bunch of guys laying on the ground and the person who is “it” walks around and tries to find the ones who are alive. Everyone has to stay very still… Surely, I jest. Looks like a massacre!
Fight! – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
There is no information on this fight scene, but we can guess it will be well choreographed and fun to watch. Who is ready for some Arrow fights?!
Diggle in Action! – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
Diggle and his new suit stomping the life out of someone! OK, maybe not the life, but perhaps the breath, momentarily? NOW are you OK with the suit? It looks better when he’s swinging his leg down to take somebody out, don’t you think? Yes!
Weapon Drawn – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
Diggle doesn’t only use his legs in a fight, he draws his weapon. He has some baddie down on the ground, perhaps after stomping them a time or two. I don’t know about you, but I can’t tell who he is, and he’s not somebody I’d want to mess with, to be honest.
Speedy and Her Bow – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
Speedy is pulling back her bow, and I have to wonder if her costume is supposed to be a disguise, because she’s incredibly recognizable. More than anyone else on the team, really. Instantly recognizable, I’d say. And her costume has been rejuvenated since Season 3. It looks amazing.
Better Late than Never – Arrow Season 4 Episode 1
Captain Lance limps onto the scene. Seriously, this photo makes him look like he’s already been in a few altercations before he decided to brandish his weapon. He looks downright wimpy. Does anybody else see that looking at this photo? Maybe it’s just the way he’s standing.
