Arrow 3x01 The Calm Review

Hey guys,
Arrow premiered last night on the CW Network and boy it was a great episode. The episode picked up the storyline exactly 5 months after the terrorist attacks of Deathstroke and nowadays Oliver Queen finds himself broke the same situation Bruce Wayne found himself into in the Dark Knight Trilogy. Team Arrow, on the other hand, is doing better than ever, the crime rate is going down and The Arrow is even being officially recognized as a hero.

We finally get to see the long anticipated Oliver-Felicity kiss and how Oliver and Barry meet up on that roof top.

The cliffhanger at the end was shocking to say the least, which leaves us wondering who's gonna be the big bad of this season and most importantly who killed Sarah. The obvious question would be Ra's al Ghul but I think that it will be another villain perhaps someone who we considered a hero. In fact, Sarah didn't seem too afraid of the person she had in front of her but who knows at this point it could be anyone.

Roy is now a full time member of Team Arrow, with his own costume but I don't buy that in 5 months he picked up the skills ofa world class archer. That was something that bothered me a bit. I would have expected to miss him a few shots at least.

Another major character of this season will be Laurel, the death of Sarah is what will push Laurel to put on the mask, train and become the Black Canary. Who follows Katie Cassidy on social media knows that she's been training harder and harder in the gym so all signs point in the direction of her being the Canary.

The premiere also saw the introduction of Ray Palmer aka the Atom played by Brandon Routh and it was great to see him face to face with Oliver.

Something that I've always loved about this show is that the shorunners are not afraid to kill off major characters and to remind us that heroes face real risks when they go up against their enemies.



All signs point towards a great season! Stay Tuned!!
