A new enemy lures Oliver Queen back to Starling City and forces him to put on the hood once more.

Arrow kicks off its fourth season with an action packed episode… sort of. Ollie and Felicity have moved on and are living in suburbia together. But is the mundane enough for them? Over in Starling City, there’s a new gang stealing stuff and causing general chaos, though I’m not quite sure why.

Starling City has gone to crap, and Diggle, Speedy, and Black Canary have been doing what they can to keep the city safe, but it looks like a bombed out city. It’s not long before Ollie is back in action.

The gang is back, but there’s lots of distrust since the last season ended. Ollie burnt some bridges, especially with Diggle, and that is what most of the episode is about. Ollie has been a lot of things in the previous three seasons, but it’s clear this season is about who he’s going to be in the future. Welcome to Ollie in a bit of an identity crisis. But, by the end of the episode he has a much better idea….

Forget Arrow…. welcome Green Arrow.

And that was an interesting twist at the end. The episode is an action packed episode, but can’t say it was all that deep. Compared to other comic based television shows Arrow was early, but it also is showing its age a bit.
