I was hoping this show wouldn't have returning from the dead super villains. Even when they are cool. **** in the eye with an arrow and stabbed in the eye with a machete should mean dead.

still they're cool characters, and the show is still awesome. and returning super villains is still better than an endless supply of new more and more crazy super villains from the magical super villain fountain.

  • Executive producer Marc Guggenheim revealed that Oliver will be making a trip to Bl?dhaven but that we won't be seeing Nightwing. He also added that there will be two cities that the show will never venture to. It's safe to assume those two cities are Gotham and Metropolis.
  • Tommy Merlyn (Colin Donnell) learning Oliver's secret will have huge ramifications going forward. Unlike Diggle (David Ramsey), Huntress (Jessica DeGouw) and Felicity Smoak (Emilly Betts Rickards) he knew the pre-island Oliver.
  • The showrunners/writers revealed that they outline the episodes first and then figure out if and who from DC's roster of characters can be inserted. For example an idea for a bank robbery episode was concocted and developed and only after a certain point of its development was it decided to call the bank robbers the Royal Flush Gang.
  • Arrow was confirmed for both WonderCon and San Diego Comic-Con later this year.
  • Greg Berlanti shared that they viewed Season One as having 'Three Acts" and the episode 'Dead To Rights' was the end of Act Two.
  • There will be another guest star upcoming that will make geek fans happy. The showrunners remained tight-lipped on the identity.
  • Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman) was referred to as an "Evil Bruce Wayne".
  • It took Oliver five years on a deserted island to develop the skills he has so don't expect Roy Harper (Colton Haynes) or Laurel Lance(Katie Cassidy)to suit up anytime soon. However, you will see flashes of who they could eventually become.
  • In the last episode it was hinted that Sarah Lance (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) was still alive. It was a big debate as to whether the show would move forward in this direction but Greg Berlanti insisted.
  • The frequency of Slade Wilson appearances on the show will depend on Manu Bennett's availability.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Manu Bennett has been promoted to series regular by the CW for the second season of Arrow. He plays Slade Wilson in the show, and while he has so far been portrayed as an ally to Stephen Amell's Oliver Queen in flashback's to his time on the island, it remains to be seen whether this means we will see him take on his villainous persona as Deathstroke. Other actors have so far been used to portray the well-known DC Comics villain, but do you think now is the time for Slade Wilson to make his small screen debut on Arrow as Deathstroke?

For those of you not up to date on the current happenings in D.C. Comics, A.R.G.U.S. is a U.S. homeland security splinter cell agency spearheaded by Amanda Waller and Steve Trevor that's assembled the likes of Hawkman, Green Arrow, Catwoman, Stargirl and others to form their own Justice League (of America); one that's answerable to the American government unlike the one that Superman and Batman hold membership. It's probably safe to say fantastical characters like Hawkman and Stargirl won't appear on Arrow but perhaps the presence of the acronymed agency means the show will have its own version of Trevor and Waller.

      I disagree here sorry. The majority of their customers are corporations who are locked in to their eco system and have no choice. Private individuals don't contribute that much to their income.
    • Weekend PC Game Deals: Anno 117, Final Fantasy VII, Rematch, and more

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Weekend PC Game Deals: Anno 117, Final Fantasy VII, Rematch, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Weekend PC Game Deals is where the hottest gaming deals from all over the internet are gathered into one place every week for your consumption. So kick back, relax, and hold on to your wallets. The Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways may have ended, but its regular freebies didn't miss a step this week. The double drop was for copies of Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. Speed Freeks lands for multiplayer racing fans, but with plenty of competitive shooting elements too. You will be piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures while trying to complete objectives and pass finish lines. Next, Ouroboros King is a crossover between chess and tactical roguelikes, offering the chance to create your own army with special rules to beat incoming foes on the board. The double giveaway on the Epic Games Store will be available until June 11, and replacing it will be Citizen Sleeper and ROBOBEAT. The Humble Store brought a new charity bundle to check out this week too. Landing with the name The Complete Inkle Library, this is a large collection of interactive narrative puzzle games from the publisher Inkle. This begins with Heaven's Vault, four parts from the Sorcery series, 80 Days, Overboard, and Pendragon: Narrative Tactics within the starting tier for $9. Hopping up a step to the $12 tier gets you TR-49, Expelled, and A Highland Song for paying at least $12. If you go for the $20 tier, you get four e-books from the Heaven's Vault series. The bundle has almost three weeks on its counter before it goes away.

    • Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps

      When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
