The CW unveiled a fall schedule that will see breakout drama Arrow remain in its Wednesday spot while Supernatural shifts to Tuesdays, were it will lead in to the Vampire Diaries spinoff The Originals.
As the first season of Arrow comes to an earth-shaking end, Malcolm Merlyn’s scheme is exposed, Oliver and Laurel finally demonstrate why they belong together, and one of the characters makes the ultimate sacrifice.
As we head toward Wednesday’s season finale of Arrow, Spinoff looks at five instances in which the show’s writers have hit their target … and five areas in which they’ve fallen short.
In “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” the penultimate episode of Arrow‘s first season, Oliver finally learns what the Undertaking is, Fyers reveals what he’s up to, and Malcolm Merlyn ties up loose ends.
In “The Undertaking,” Oliver finally gets around to rescuing Walter, Moira’s involvement in Malcolm’s scheme is exposed, Team Arrow gets back together, and we stop feeling so bad about the death Frank Chen.
As John Diggle sees an opportunity to take out Deadshot, Oliver is faced with a decision whether to help his friend or protect Laurel. Tommy, meanwhile, is confronted by some tough choices of his own.
The Count returns to Arrow this week as Vertigo again floods the streets of Starling City, sending Oliver Queen in search of the source, and Detective Lance on the trail of Tommy Merlyn.
In “Salvation,” Oliver Queen goes on the hunt of another vigilante, the Lance family gets caught up in the idea that Sara might still be alive, and Roy Harper is given a chance for redemption.
Manu Bennett, who plays Oliver Queen’s ally Slade Wilson — better known to comic book fans as Deathstroke — has been promoted to series regular for the second season of The CW’s Arrow.
In “The Huntress Returns,” a still-vengeful Helena Bertinelli reappears in Starling City determined to kill her father before he can disappear into witness protection, and she’s willing to put Oliver’s loved ones in her sights to reach her target.
Arrow star Stephen Amell adds his voice and likeness to Injustice: Gods Among Us for the DC Comics fighting game’s version of Green Arrow for an unlockable alternative Arrow character.
Teen Wolf alum Colton Haynes, who debuted as Roy Harper in the Feb. 20 episode of Arrow, has been made a series regular for the second season of The CW’s hit superhero drama.
