Nyssa al Ghul won her showdown with her sister, and Quentin gave Dinah the assist in taking down Black Siren. Team Arrow and allies managed to defeat Prometheus' forces in the temple of Lian Yu. There are a few major characters whose fates are uncertain. Samantha was with them as well, and Oliver had William with him, so the Clayton crew survived as well. Team Arrow and Nyssa totally made it to the ARGUS supply boat, which means that Slade led them there and is currently alive as well. Besides, we already know that the new Black Canary and Wild Dog are on board as regulars in Season 6. Arrow has gone for epic cliffhangers in the past, but there's no way the show would kill off Oliver's lady love Felicity, his best bro Diggle, his little sister Thea, and the rest in one fell swoop. Given that all of Team Arrow aside from Oliver was last seen on the island, we can bet that they escaped. Chase activated the explosives that he planted all over the island, and the island went BOOM. Oliver told Felicity that they needed to head for the ARGUS supply boat that their unexpected ally Slade could lead them to, but it was on the other side of the island, and there was no time for them to make the trip. Unfortunately, when last Oliver heard from his pals on Team Arrow (and Nyssa), they were stuck on Lian Yu with no means of escape. As the CW is advertising its Dynasty reboot, it’s sometimes hard to tell it apart from the one about a violent superhero in a green mask.The cliffhanger of "Lian Yu" featured the titular island being blown to smithereens, which normally would have been pretty great for poor Oliver, who always seems to get stuck back there. The unfocused, breakneck pace of the Season 6 premiere, which flip-flopped between its absolutely comic book-y villain - Stay with me here, it’s Laurel Lance, the deceased ex-girlfriend of our protagonist, but from an alternate universe - and a soap opera subplot of a billionaire playing trying to connect with his illegitimate son. Six seasons in, Arrow knows its identity of a gritty superhero melodrama while being anxious its audience may not. In layman’s terms, Arrow is back on its bullshit. Once again, Star City is shocked that maybe Oliver Queen is the Green Arrow. Once again, Quentin Lance is confronting his alcoholism. Once again, Oliver and Felicity are in a will-they-won’t-they dance. And based on the Season 6 premiere, it’s running out of steam.
There are now five years of storytelling, world-building, and stakes Arrow must wrangle with on a weekly basis. If the ten season Smallville is any form of measurement, Arrow is well past the halfway mark. president served a whole term, and something like fifty iPhones have been released since the first time we met Oliver Queen. It’s been around for a long time! Kids have begun and graduated school, a U.S. Now in 2017, what Arrow fans have to reckon with is the mere fact the show has reached its sixth season. And yes, the show makes it clear that you will see Slade Wilson more this season. Even Deathstroke, who in spite of killing Queen matriarch Moira in Season 2 is now super chummy with Oliver, as if they’re old frat buddies. The only Arrow mainstay in any sort of critical condition is Thea, who has been in a coma since the finale. The biggest subplot of 'Arrow' Season 6 will be Oliver connecting to his estranged son, William. Even though the kid lives in a sweet loft surrounded by video games, he’s aloof and keeps his distance from his father. Oliver’s big Season 6 arc is to connect with William, it seems. Lian Yu did claim one life, however: Samantha Clayton, Oliver’s one-time lover and mother to their son, William. Hell, Arrow even included the surprise return of Raisa, the former Queen housekeeper who hasn’t been seen since the pilot. Nothing has changed except Diggle’s bizarre newfound fear of guns (character arc alert!) and Wild Dog donning hilariously protective armor (which didn’t save him from getting hurt anyway, so what was the point?). Minutes into Season 6, the show haphazardly answers the question “Who survived Lian Yu?” by jarringly showing off pretty much all of Team Arrow, alive and well, in the middle of a Tuesday night mission. Right?Īfter the Season 6 premiere, that’s a hard no. At least the anticipation would be worth the payoff. After a stellar return to form in Season 5, Arrow resorted to a cliffhanger finale in April, a too obvious an effort to build buzz during the summer and ensure a sizeable audience in the fall. Over the summer, Arrow producer Marc Guggenheim warned fans to not think about who lived or who died on Lian Yu.
