7 Things We Want To See In Arrow Season 4

Flashback, October 2012: Arrow premieres on the CW network to good reviews. Those who don't read comics or missed Smallville have no idea who Green Arrow actually is. Flashback, May 2013: After an uneven start, the Arrow scriptwriters find their feet and successfully tie the majority of loose threads together into an epic season one finale. Some boring people die. Flashback, March 2013: Laurel Lance does something irritating in season two. Standard. Flashback, May 2014: Season two ends on a high. Superhero shows don't get any better than this. Flashback, October 2014: Some batshit crazy stuff happens in the opening episode of season three, but a willingness to take risks is what keeps shows like this fresh. This could be the best season yet... Flashback, December 2014: WTF mid season finale!? Flashback, May 2015: Season three ends. Meh.

1) Team Arrow Reunited

Trick arrows would be sweet, the greatest even, but there’s one thing that season four needs more than anything else to get the show back on track, and that’s Team Arrow fully reunited once more. As much as we love them, Thea and Roy can come and go, but what’s integral to Arrow’s success is the core trio of Oliver, Felicity and Diggle working side by side.

While season three was enjoyable and still far better than the majority of other shows based on comic book properties, it’s one key flaw was splitting up Team Arrow for as long as they did. Realistically, divisions were bound to occur, but these confrontations were dragged out for far too long, leaving the show without direction for more episodes than necessary.

Talk of a lighter tone for the upcoming season suggests that the friction caused by the events of season three may soon be alleviated, although it’s hard to imagine Oliver and Diggle becoming close again any time soon. It’s also going to be somewhat awkward when the inevitable Olicity breakup transpires, but come on guys. You’re all grown-ups. Get over it already, so we can relive the Team Arrow banter of yesteryear!
