Arrow Season 4 episodes 1 and 2: Enter the Dark

Last time we left Oliver Queen his identity of the arrow was destroyed an AL-SAH-HIM the next heir to the demons head had surfaced. This was a deception planned by both Oliver and Malcolm Merlin to defeat the great Ra's Al Ghul and save starling city but at great cost to do so. Oliver had kidnapped and endangered his partner and former body guard John Diggle's wife an child on top of that Roy Harper took Oliver's place as the Arrow to save Ollie as a way of Paying him back for all he had did  giving him purpose as arsenal until he was stabbed in prison the vigilante was gone Roy survived but left the city . Dr. Ray Palmer of  Palmer technologies an also know as the A.T.O.M couldn't save his city.  we see a explosion in caused by  Mr.Palmers hand killing him  an now his city of the future has a name that is dedicated to his memory  the old starling is now Star City  and Ollie's girlfriend  and technical eyes an ears Felicity Smoake is now the CEO of Palmer tech and the Holder of his Legacy.  We enter 6 months into the new lives of Oliver an Felicity they have a house white picket fence the nice normal life Oliver has always wanted. Over in Star city Team Dig is trying to keep the city safe from a highly trained team known as only the ghosts.  As i watched the premier I noticed the fighting has  been improved for Thea who is calling her self Red Arrow now which I think needs work but ill keep seeing her as speedy just like Oliver does. Thea is having issues with anger and control  an in the next episode you see it in force taken out on Oliver who explains to her after all this time that the Lazarus pit which brought her back to life also has some nasty side effects. Now your caught up lets talk the fight scenes have been improved since the show started but I still cant not see Laurel lance as the Black Canary I still see Sarah kicking ass an breaking bone. Now Diggle who is still pissed at Oliver who is asked to come back to help take out these ghosts  by request  from laurel and Thea who still call him The Arrow. Dig now has a helmet he uses to conceal his identity when he stands still it looks like he stole it from magneto  from the x-men but in motion doesn't look so bad and the automatic gun arm holsters the leather jacket not to shabby either now people have a theory that Diggle is moving to become the hero know as Guardian because of the helmets design. Oliver and team Dig get to meet the leader of theses so called ghosts who are actually agents of Hive The organization mentioned to Diggle by Floyd Lawton AKA Dead Shot who reveals that they Killed Diggs brother Andy.  Now Oliver receives a new Suit that was designed by Cisco Ramon of Team Flash the suit is well put together.  The Leader of the Ghost who introduces himself early on is Damien Dahrk The same man who was  a fierce rival of Ra's Al Ghul systematically an maliciously takes out star city's leadership within Minutes. Oliver meets Dahrk and we see that not only is he vicious an a great hand to hand combatant  he is mystical  he killed a man by touch stopped Ollie's Arrows with the wave of his hands he also heals himself with a statue that requires an incantation an some blood. I really  enjoyed Damien's character the actor who plays him is a stellar actor an portrays a great villain i love that he isn't a meta human an does not tolerate  failure at all beside if a man can kill you by touching you why would you piss him off?  before we hit episode two there is a scene ( Warning slight spoiler) with Oliver standing at a grave we don't see the name on it  but Barry Allen AKA The Flash apologizes for not being able to attend the  funeral  Barry asked Oliver what he is going to do he replies that he is going to kill "him" is he  talking about Dahrk? Malcolm Merlin maybe or RA's possibilities are endless. He also says the name Zoom to Barry who nods stating that's the reason for his non attendance which say for the Flash things are going to go into the Dark  very soon very fast. As the second episode go through in the premiere Oliver takes up the  new code name Green Arrow as he should be rightfully called. Laurel offers to take Thea on a vacation to get her away from Ollie who she rages on an hands a great ass kicking too. Little does Oliver Know the ladies aren't  heading to a Spa They are going to Nada Parbat to find out exactly what happened to Thea this in itself will cause issues for Thea because Merlin is now the New  RA's so this will be fun but they are alone they will be  taking some Cargo with them The Body of Sara Lance an that means will see a Resurrection an lots of fighting an that will help us slowly go into The legends of tomorrow.  In closing as a Whole I'm excited to see what season 4 has in store I believe we will see some great fights an interesting villains who will submerge us in Dark an injustice hopefully Oliver Green an Our Green Arrow wont fail us or Our city. until next Wednesday embrace your darkness but always Aim Higher.
