Arrow Saison 1 Episode 1



The CW officially wrapped its big DC TV week with an explosive and twisting return of Arrow.

After such a big season finale, the bar was set pretty high on how to follow up with it. Luckily, Arrow Season 6 Episode 1 did a very solid job (for the most part).

After taking a mob accountant's laptop, Oliver plans to return the money to its rightful owners. Felicity however finds that Dominic Alonzo - the operator of an illegal casino and the head of a gang known for kidnapping - was paid $2 million to kidnap Walter. Arrow pays him a visit and is told that Walter is dead. Oct 13, 2017  On Arrow Season 6 Episode 1 Oliver Queen is back in Star City several months after the events of Lian Yu. But the Green Arrow must now deal with new and old foes.

Arrow episodes usually have a mixed pacing, but this hour was just one bang after another. In a weird way, I enjoyed it which I wouldn't usually do.

So who died and who survived? Well basically everyone made it out alive except for Samantha, but that was obvious since Arrow Season 5 Episode 23.

If William was going to be with Oliver, then it only meant that his mama would somehow no longer be able to be there for him. If Samantha survived, she would never let him stay with Oliver.

Because, well, Star City is Star City; what else is there to say? I didn't get William's reasoning for being so cold to his dad, though. It's not like Oliver got her killed.

But I guess tweens are tweens. I liked what we got of Oliver's struggle as a new hands-on dad. What was an even greater surprise was Slade being there to give him some advice.

I like that Oliver managed to get a little victory with William. It wasn't a huge step forward, but it was a step nonetheless.

I knew that the premiere would essentially open with everyone back in Star City. At least all the series regulars while other characters like the Al Ghuls and Evelyn remain MIA.

It would have been intriguing to see what things would have had looked like if Oliver was alone or just had 1-2 of his team members at his side. I would have enjoyed the mystery.

Instead, we're probably going to get numerous flashbacks in Arrow Season 6 showing the island experience from their POV's. The whole thing with Quentin's struggle was a mixed bag for me.

He had such a hard time with a soulless Sara during Arrow Season 4, but an evil Laurel? No, that 'little girl' is one he has no problem shooting in order to save his new friend and Canary, Dinah.

I know they really stressed that he struggled with it with some powerful acting from Paul Blackthorne. But at the same time, why is Laurel of Earth-2 any different from Sara when she didn't have her soul?

Regardless, the stakes didn't really matter because, voila, you can't keep a Siren down for too long. But more on the awesomeness of Black Siren later.

While most made it back to Star City alive, one came back in a very different state. Because Arrow clearly has run out of things for her to do (a woman, a hero, and a suit – the trifecta of storyline disasters in the Arrowverse), Thea Queen got the coma-card.

They won't kill her off, but putting her in a coma is just as bad. It was genuinely sad to see that this is where Thea's story (might have) ended.

Going from being Arrow's only female archer to..this, was heartbreaking and disappointing. I want her to wake up before the midseason finale, ideally with an exciting arc.

One of the highlights was Laurel Lance aka Black Siren really getting to shine. I love that they didn't give us all the answers yet as to who she is working with. Who gave her a hand up and off the island?

I could watch Black Siren and Black Canary duke it out as their own show. It's not every day you see Dinah Drake and Dinah Laurel Lance, even in the comics, together. More, please!

Diggle's situation was one of the two biggest shocks. I could feel that he was broken and that an important part of him died with Lian Yu.

Was it just me or did Diggle and Dinah get very close during these last few months? There is definitely a strong bond going on there.

Oh, and there is the whole 'Oliver's secret identity being exposed to everyone in Star City' thing. At some point, I think it was a given that this would happen on Arrow.

But as a final scene of a premiere? That was a welcomed surprise as Oliver is back on having a full plate of obstacles for the rest of the season.

Overall, this was one of the stronger season premieres for Arrow, following their biggest finale. Some things could have been done differently, but we're just one episode into Arrow Season 6, so it's too soon to tell.

James Bamford, who directed this episode, did a killer job once again. Not only did the action feel massive, but the story felt as heavy as the action which I always expect from a Bamford episode.

I look forward to seeing how Arrow deals with the ramifications of Lian Yu's explosion. I want to from everyone's POV how it affected them. We just got started on the premiere with Diggle's status, so let's keep that going.

It was refreshing that we didn't get introduced to the new big bad of Arrow Season 6. Past premieres have always done that in one way or another. Taking it slow ramps up the tension.

Now it's your turn to let us know what you thought of 'Fallout'!! Did you enjoy seeing everyone back in Star City?

How long until Thea wakes up? Did the Al Ghul sisters and Evelyn die?

Were the Black Siren and Black Canary fights awesome? Who helped Laurel off the island?

List of Arrow episodes

The first season of the American action television series Arrow premiered on The CW on October 10, 2012, at 8:00 pm (ET) and concluded on May 5, 2013, with a total of 23 episodes, after the network ordered a full season on October 22, 2012.[1] The series is based on the DC Comics character Green Arrow, a costumed crime-fighter created by Mort Weisinger and George Papp, and is set in the Arrowverse, sharing continuity with other Arrowverse television series. The showrunners for this season were Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg. Stephen Amell stars as Oliver Queen, with principal cast members Katie Cassidy as Laurel Lance, Colin Donnell as Tommy Merlyn, David Ramsey as John Diggle, Willa Holland as Thea Queen, Susanna Thompson as Moira Queen, and Paul Blackthorne as Quentin Lance.

Arrow Saison 1 Episode 1

The series follows billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), who claimed to have spent five years shipwrecked on Lian Yu, a mysterious island in the North China Sea, before returning home to Starling City (later renamed 'Star City') to fight crime and corruption as a secret vigilante whose weapon of choice is a bow and arrow. In the first season, Oliver returns to Starling City and is reunited with his mother, Moira (Susanna Thompson), his sister, Thea (Willa Holland), and his friend, Tommy Merlyn (Colin Donnell). Oliver rekindles his relationships, while spending his nights hunting down and sometimes killing criminals as a hooded vigilante, known as The Hood.[2] He uncovers Malcolm Merlyn's (John Barrowman) conspiracy to destroy 'The Glades', a poorer section of the city that has become overridden with crime. John Diggle (David Ramsey) and Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) assist Oliver in his crusade. Oliver also reconnects with ex-girlfriend, Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy), who is still angry over his role in her sister, Sara's, presumed death, while her father, Officer Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne), suspects Oliver being the vigilante. The season features flashbacks to Oliver's first year on the island, and how it changed him, while trying to stop a mercenary force targeting the Chinese economy. After being saved by The Hood, Roy Harper (Colton Haynes) attempts to find him so he will train him so he can help others.

Production on the pilot began in March 2012 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Filming for the rest of the season began on July 18, 2012 and ended on April 18, 2013. The season was generally well received by critics, and averaged 3.68 million viewers each week. Amell's portrayal of Oliver Queen / Arrow drew comparison to Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games, while the season itself was found to be still looking for its own identity. The season would go on to win multiple awards, including twenty-one nominations in various categories. The season was released on DVD and Blu-ray on September 17, 2013. Empire earth 2 pc download.

Arrow Season 1 Episode 13

Production[edit]

On January 12, 2012, The CW was preparing a new series centered around the character Green Arrow, developed by Andrew Kreisberg, Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim.[26] A week later, the series, now known as Arrow, was ordered to pilot, which was directed by David Nutter, who also directed the pilot for Smallville, a series following Clark Kent on his journey to become Superman.[27] At the end of the month, Stephen Amell was cast in the titular role of Oliver Queen.[28] When developing the series, producer Marc Guggenheim expressed that the creative team wanted to 'chart [their] own course, [their] own destiny', and avoid any direct connections to Smallville, which featured its own Green Arrow/Oliver Queen (Justin Hartley), opting to cast a new actor in the role of Oliver Queen.[29] Unlike with Smallville, the series does not initially feature super-powered heroes and villains. Instead, the creative still took inspiration from Smallville, as one of the main themes of Arrow was to 'look at the humanity' of Oliver Queen, as Smallville had done with Clark Kent. The decision not to include superpowers was, in part, based on the executives' desire to take a realistic look at the characters in this universe.[30] The series was given a full season pick up on October 22, 2012.[1]

'I think the idea is to—not all the time, and not with a set regularity—but I think it is critical to explore how he went from the person that he was when he left the island—which is extremely different: he's spoiled, he's entitled, he's a bit of a jerk—and he comes off it something very, very different. So we're going to explore how he gets there.'[30]

—Stephen Amell on the use of flashback storytelling.

The series develops relationship triangles: some love triangles, others designed to catch characters in 'philosophical debates'.[31] Kreisberg provides one such example: 'Every week, Oliver will be facing a bad guy, but the truth is, his real nemesis is Detective Lance, who's trying to bring him into justice.[..] His daughter is going to be caught in the middle, because she loves and respects her father, and she's always believed in what he believed, but at the same time, she's going to see this dark urban legend out there that's actually doing a lot of good; the kind of good that she wants to be doing in her role as a legal aid attorney.'[31] Learning from previous experiences working in television, the producers worked early on identifying the major story arcs for the series, specifically the first season, including 'mapping out' how to accomplish them. Taking inspiration from Christopher Nolan's Batman film series, the creative team decided to 'put it all out there' and 'not hold back' from episode to episode.[31]

The team strives to include various DC Comics characters and aspects of the DC universe. Guggenheim cited Big Belly Burger, a restaurant franchise introduced in the Superman comics, which appears in Arrow's third episode and onward. Kreisberg said, 'There are so many characters in the DC Universe who haven't gotten their due in TV and film. We're so excited to reach into [the DC comics] roster and take some of these lesser-known characters that are beloved by fans, and do our spin on the characters.'[32]

Arrow Saison 1 Episode 14

Casting[edit]

On January 31, 2012 Stephen Amell became the first actor to be cast, having previously appeared on other CW dramas such as The Vampire Diaries and 90210.[33] Fan reaction to Amell's castin was mixed, with many fans wanting Justin Hartley to reprise his role from Smallville.[34] Amell was one of the first actors to audition for the role of Oliver Queen, and Kreisberg felt that he 'hit the target from the outset' and 'everyone else just paled in comparison'.[29]Arrow's pilot script was the first Amell auditioned for during pilot season, having received multiple scripts at the start of the year.[35]Producer Marc Guggenheim expressed that the creative team wanted to 'chart [their] own course, [their] own destiny', and avoid any direct connections to Smallville, which featured its own Green Arrow/Oliver Queen who was portrayed by Hartley. Instead, they opted to cast a new actor in the titular role.[29] Amell, who was already in shape from Rent-a-Goalie, did physical fitness training at Tempest Freerunning Academy out of Reseda, California. He received archery training as well, which included watching a video on how archery has been displayed inaccurately or poorly in television and film before learning the basics of shooting a bow.[29] For Amell, the appeal of portraying Queen was that he saw multiple roles tied to the same character: 'There's Queen the casual playboy; Queen the wounded hero; Queen the brooding Hamlet; Queen the lover; Queen the man of action, and so on.'[29]

Amy Brenneman made a point of really befriending me before we started shooting [Private Practice] [..] I was really taken with how she connected with me, person to person, before we tried to connect, actor to actor. So, I made a real point to do that [with the Arrow cast] [..] I think that you can see that [we hit it off] [..] If you have to put your hand on somebody's shoulder, if you've done it before, it makes it easier to do. Sometimes it's imperceptible, but I think it's what takes things from good to great, or from 2D to 3D.

Amell interview with Collider[35]

A week later, David Ramsey was cast as the original character John Diggle, named after the Green Arrow: Year One writer Andy Diggle.[36] Ramsey enjoyed the fact that he did not have to worry about matching the comic books. It allowed him to 'just kind of take [his character], and run with it'.[37] On February 14, 2012 Susanna Thompson was cast as Moira Queen.[38] The following day, Katie Cassidy and Willa Holland were announced to play Laurel Lance and Thea Queen, respectively. Laurel Lance is an attorney and Oliver's ex-girlfriend, named after Dinah Laurel Lance, who 'may or may not end up being the Black Canary with time'.[39] Cassidy said she was drawn to the show by Berlanti, Nutter, Kreisberg, and Guggenheim, whom she called smart, creative, and edgy.[40] Hollands' character is described as 'Oliver's celebutante younger sister who's testing the boundaries of acceptable behavior'.[41] She is partially based on the character Mia Dearden, sharing her middle name, using Mia as an alias in Season 3 and taking the codename 'Speedy' in the season 3 finale. Subsequently. Brian Markinson was cast as guest-star villain Adam Hunt, described as 'Hunt is a corrupt businessman who is ripping off some people – behavior that has gotten the attention of Dinah Laurel Lance and her CNRI firm'.[42] On February 21, 2012 Colin Donnell was cast as Tommy Merlyn, named after Green Arrow's archenemy Merlyn. He is described as 'Oliver's best friend, a playboy “trustafarian” who assumes the good times will roll again now that Oliver has returned, only to learn Oliver is a changed man'.[43] On March 2, 2012, Paul Blackthorne and Jamey Sheridan were cast as Quentin Lance and Robert Queen, the fathers of Laurel and Oliver respectively, with Blackthorne being the last regular cast member to be cast.[44]Jacqueline MacInnes Wood was cast as Sara Lance, Laurel's sister, for the pilot. However, when the character returned in the second season, Wood was replaced by Caity Lotz.[45] In August, it was announced that John Barrowman would be joining the series in an unspecified recurring role.[46] In the same month Emily Bett Rickards was cast in the role of Felicity Smoak[47] initially as a one-off guest star,[48] but confirmed as a series regular in January 2013.[49]

Design[edit]

'Arrow, we really wanted him urban, and sexy, and you could almost wear the costume down the street and it would look cool in today's world. That was a big goal with Arrow and the way the story was set up with his character.'

–Costume Designer Colleen Atwood[50]

The realistic approach to the series included the costume design for Oliver's vigilante persona, created by Colleen Atwood.[51] According to Amell, it was important for the suit to be functional, and the best way that he knew for that was if he could put the costume on by himself: 'If I can put it on by myself, I think that people will buy it. And that was our idea. That's our world. My boots are actually Nike Frees, which is kind of cool. It's leather and it's tight and it's aggressive, but I can move in it. People will like it.'[30][52] David Nutter, the director of the pilot episode, said that 'We're creating a real, believable world in which Oliver Queen can do incredible things. Colleen Atwood's great work on the Arrow costume reflects that effort.'[53]

Filming[edit]

Production on the pilot began in March 2012 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[54] The series features two distinct timelines, which requires more specific planning in the filming schedule. Filming for the island flashbacks takes place in Vancouver's Whytecliff Park area, near beachfront homes. The production team is tasked with keeping the buildings out of camera frame.[32] Additionally, producer Marc Guggenheim finds the process arduous: 'Stephen [Amell] has to wear a wig, and his look has to be changed.. there's a lot. It's actually incredibly ambitious to do these flashbacks every week, every single episode. Because like Andrew [Kreisberg] said, it's almost like it's its own show.'[32]Hatley Castle, located in Royal Roads University was used for exterior shots for the Queen family mansion. Hatley Castle had previously been used as the Luthor ancestral home in Smallville.[55] Vancouver's Terminal City Ironworks Complex doubles as the exterior for Queen Industrial, Inc, in which Oliver sets up his hideout and later his club Verdant.[56] It has also been used on several other occasions, such as the warehouse in which Oliver and Tommy are kidnapped in the pilot episode, or the base of operations for the Chinese Triad in episode 108 'Vendetta'.[57]

Filming for the rest of the season commenced on July 18, 2012 and finalized on April 18, 2013.

To compose the score for Arrow, executive producer Greg Berlanti invited Blake Neely, with whom he had first worked with on Everwood, Neely created a score that combined electronic and orchestral cues, varying between action themes and romantic ones.[58] Berlanti told Neely the series would be dark, and the music should be as well. After reading the pilot script, Neely went away to start composing on his own.[59] According to Neely, 'Of course, Oliver has his main theme but also sub-themes for the many layers of his character. He and Laurel have a love theme. Mom had a theme for the Undertaking. The bad guys all have themes, which makes it sad for me when one of them dies. So I try not to become attached to bad guy themes. Diggle has a theme. Even the Island itself has a theme.'[58] The soundtrack was released on September 17, 2013. It was composed by Blake Neely.

Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times called the series an interesting setup with a quality look, describing Amell as 'a poster boy (no doubt literally) for the Katniss Everdeen set.'[64] Brian Lowry at Variety described the series as a 'handsome but stiff surrogate for Batman that could benefit from sharper execution.'[65] In reviewing the final episode of the first season, Alasdair Wilkins of The A.V.
