User blog comment:XD1/Dragon Con 'Sizzle Reel' Trailer for Arrow Season Four/@comment-156.56.137.221-20150905232325

Based on the show's past season premieres, Season 4 will probably begin with Oliver running someplace. This time, though, it may be a much lighter mood than the past openings, which were all serious. I am hopeful this chapter explores Oliver repairing relationships with his team because that is an important process in character development. Since Oliver is taking up the mantle of Green Arrow, perhaps we will see him use more trick arrows. I had wondered if he will start operating 24/7 instead of only at night, and this new trailer may have just answered that question. On another point, due to Stephen Amell's statement that the supernatural plays a major part in this season, and John Constantine's highly anticipated appearance, this seaon feels like the "unknown season." From a certain point of view, though, Arrow started exploring supernatural/fantasy ideas back in Season 2 with the plot involving Slade Wilson becoming Deathstroke and waging his vendetta against Oliver. Season 3 introduced viewers to the Lazarus Pit, the source of Ra's al Ghul's longevity and Thea's miraculous recovery. Flash has done well overall integrating supernatural events into their stories, albeit utilizing science to explain them. It will be interesting to see how deeply Arrow tackles this subject in Season 4. Damien Darhk's introduction was unique in that he is just introduced as being evil. He conveys the impression he is someone who ought to be taken down on sight, yet he also appears to be someone who should not be underestimated. All in all, Season 4 should be fun to watch. May the writers aim high!
