Will Arrow Season 3 Return as a Hit?

The struggle is real. After being made aware that The Climb was the last episode of Arrow until next year, devastation gushed in. Curling up with a bowl of popcorn or a bucket of Blue Bunny ice cream is a good ole’ treat during any episode of the Arrow. Finding another mousetrap to captivate me will definitely be a hassle. I’m psyched about declaring the prodigious Arrow, but before delving into all the sweet delights to be dispensed subsequently, I’ll back track to what took place in the most recent episode.

 

 

A One Man Band

 

Unlike Ra’s al Ghul who needs his minions to flock foolishly behind him, Oliver Queen, a.k.a The Vigilante, while with his team, is a one man band. He loves to venture on dangerous quests on his own. The Climb made his self-sacrificing attitude apparent when he foolishly decided to face the demon all on his own.

 

 

Oliver is a one man band.

Why would a sane person go up against Ra’s al Ghul? Simple! When you have a sister like Thea Queen, under the influence of a deranged father, you have to fight as a big brother. That’s what Oliver did. He defended his sister since she was the one to kill Black Canary who was one of Ra’s al Ghul’s minions.

 

Now… fast forwarding. Finally, Oliver climbed a snow-capped mountain, in probably the middle of nowhere to face the ultimate dragon. After grabbing his weaponry (swords) the duel began. It was outlandish to behold Oliver in tights wielding a sword like a mad man. I prefer arrows, but I guess you need firm weapons to go toe-to-toe with al Ghul. After chatting while going at each other, Ra’s al Ghul finally brought Oliver to his knees…. and then it hits me: “No……!!!!! Please don’t kill him”, I exploded. My heart dropped! With a sword pierced through his skin, Ra’s al Ghul withdrew only to push Oliver over the mountain…. and then I died. I have no further comments.

 

 

Oliver is dead… or is he?

 

 

Arrow diehards are revving up for the return of Arrow Season 3 episode 10 on January 21, 2015. With the promo for episode 10, fanatics are presuming that Stephen Amell, Oliver, might return to the Arrow. What do I say? I’m not presuming but I’m positive that he’ll return. Maybe he’ll go missing for awhile, but the Arrow is nothing without Oliver. Give me Oliver or I’m walking. The return of Arrow in January will definitely turn out to be a hit. With Oliver out of the picture for awhile, who’ll assume his place? What about Felicity? Will she think about giving in to her boss’ advances and live a fancy life for all-time sake? What about sir Diggle? Will he walk away and live the life he’s always wanted with his family or will he team up with Roy and form his own team and maybe call it ‘Diggle and company’ ?

Speculations as to how Oliver will Return

 

After wrapping up ‘The Climb’, Oliver is seen hanging from a cliff. A glimpse of a man approaching him was seen. Who’s this savior? Word on the street is, Oliver will be saved by Ra’s al Ghul himself, but I think that’s impossible. What would be his motive for saving him? I can’t think of any. Others are saying that Oliver’s old friend, Maseo Yamashiro a.k.a Sarab will bring his friend to the Lazarus Pit where he’ll be revived. I highly believe that this will be the case. However, someone else might stop by to save Oliver. Many find it impossible that Slade or Deathstroke will step up to save Oliver but, I do believe it’s possible. Why? We all know that Slade hates Oliver’s guts, but hey, the producers are known for doing the unexpected and guess what? Slade saving Oliver would surprise the crap out of viewers.

 

 

 Arrow to undergo Major Transitions

Laurel as Black Canary.

 

It’s well anticipated that Thea Queen and Felicity Smoak will have some catching up to do. They’re the only girls left in Ollie’s life so they’ll need to support each other. When the season returns, they’ll flood the screen. Roy a.k.a. The Arsenal is expected to rise to the occasion. Most likely, The Arsenal will go head-to-head with gang members and possibly Malcolm Merlyn. Whatever he’s up against, he has my support and best wishes. Laurel Lance will possibly return as Black Canary. I’m not sure if the look fits, but this needs to be done. Team Arrow will need all the help they can get while Oliver is away.

 

 

With all these transitions to take place when Arrow returns, fanatics are in for a well cooked meal. Until the season returns, I’m out.
