- After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific. When he returns home to Starling City, his devoted mother Moira, much-beloved sister Thea, and best friend Tommy welcome him home, but they sense Oliver has been changed by his ordeal on the island. While Oliver hides the truth about the man he's become, he desperately wants to make amends for the actions he took as the boy he was. Most particularly, he seeks reconciliation with his former girlfriend, Laurel Lance. As Oliver reconnects with those closest to him, he secretly creates the persona of Arrow - a vigilante – to right the wrongs of his family, fight the ills of society, and restore Starling City to its former glory. By day, Oliver plays the role of a wealthy, carefree and careless philanderer he used to be - flanked by his devoted chauffeur/bodyguard, John Diggle - while carefully concealing the secret identity he turns to under cover of darkness. However, Laurel's father, Detective Quentin Lance, is determined to arrest the vigilante operating in his city. Meanwhile, Oliver's own mother, Moira, knows much more about the deadly shipwreck than she has let on – and is more ruthless than he could ever imagine.
The series stars Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, Colin Donnell as Tommy, Katie Cassidy as Laurel Lance, David Ramsey as John Diggle, Willa Holland as Thea Queen, with Susanna Thompson as Moira Queen and Paul Blackthorne as Detective Quentin Lance. This is such a good show *_* I really blame Sailor Venus for getting me to want to watch it xD It's pretty dark, but not so dark it makes it depressing if you know what I mean. It's a good tale. Anyone else been tuning in? Plus bonus Barrowman xD |

| You are very welcome, Athena. ^.^ I do not currently have cable, but I did have my mother record the first episode the last time I visited her. Obviously, I have a weakness for archery and the Green Arrow is no exception. It really isn't very accurate when it comes to the sport (and quite a bit of his shots are CGI for that very reason), but I'm willing to let that slide for one of my favorite comic book heroes. The actor obviously tried, so I'm happy with that. |

| Yup, this television show is about the Green Arrow from DC Comics. Personally, I like him better than HawkEye. I don't know as much as I would like, but I have picked up several of the comic books in order to start a small collection. I was so disappointed when the last Green Arrow comic I picked up didn't even feature him even once. It was so weird. |
