I recently finished watching the show Arrow. I was really impressed by how it turned out and how Oliver Queen went from a spoiled rich manipulative boy to a depressed, silent, vindictive vigilante. He lost his father, his girlfriend's sister after his father's Yaht, the Queen's Gambit sank. So he spent 5 years on an island learning military tactics and combat training from a military operation on the island. He also finds out his father was involved in a conspiracy to sack his home city in Canada. So when he comes home he decides to start changing things in the city and killing off a few criminals. He meets his ex-girlfriend, Laurel Lance , a lawyer who believes in protecting the innocent, who blames him for cheating on her with her sister and also blames Oliver for her death. So you see these two the entire series look at eachother with lingering feelings. Oliver seems regretful for wronging her and she isn't very happy with him at all for many good reasons. Its just wrong to sleep with the sister of the love of your life. So we can see why she hates him. But towards the end, after all we all know she becomes his wife, or some of us know. People look for the worse in Oliver Queen when he returns from the island. Even though he was tortured and beat almost to death. Shot at and almost killed multiple times. This would change anyone. But people are not convinced that he is different at all, since he use to cheat on his girl friend all of the time by bring sluts and whores into his bed all of the time. His sister Thyea is convinced he is very different considering they used to be very close. His change in personality and his character drives a wedge between him and his family for a while. However she notices something very off about him and how he's tight lipped about everything and where he goes at night. So to make a long story short. Oliver's mother and sister aren't very happy with his new found character and how he is so different after the 5 years he was stranded on an island. I find it amazing how he became Green Arrow and how he wants to liberate his home from all of the criminals and how he's changed to be a better person. He wants to right the wrong of his billionaire father who was part of the mafia and we meet some interesting characters along the way. I really liked his best friend, Tommy. I was sad to see him go at the end of season 1. I wonder how season 2 will pan out. I've heard it did as good as the first season so I look forward to seeing it. I'm curious about how things turn out in it. I don't expect this thread to be a be a success. In fact I don't expect it to get very far. But if you're into this show, than enjoy.
