Starling Tribune – Season 5 Special Edition – Arrow Season 5 Predictions (A CW Network Arrow Television Show Fan Podcast) #122
The Official Arrow Podcast of the Gonna Geek Network
Next Week: Arrow – Season 5 Episode 1 – “Legacy”
NEW BEGINNINGS — After Laurel’s (Katie Cassidy) death and the departures of both Diggle (David Ramsey) and Thea (Willa Holland) from Team Arrow, Oliver (Stephen Amell) takes to the streets solo to protect Star City’s citizens as the Green Arrow. With Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) guiding him from the bunker, Oliver is forced to deal with a city that has become overrun with both criminals and a slew of new (and painfully inexperienced) vigilantes. Watching Oliver try to balance his jobs as both the mayor and also the protector of Star City, Felicity suggests he form a new team, but Oliver resists. However, when a deadly new criminal, Tobias Church (guest star Chad L. Coleman), enters the picture, Oliver realizes the best thing for the city might be a new team of superheroes. Meanwhile, the flashbacks take us to Russia where Oliver faces off against the Bratva. James Bamford directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti and teleplay by Marc Guggenheim & Wendy Mericle (#501). Original airdate 10/5/2016.”

* You gotta be in Ahmehhrica. Because Amerrhica… F Yeah.
* the trailer not only features the titular characters from all four shows but members of their supporting casts as well, mixing the humor, action, and meta references galore that have become a trademark of The CW’s DC television brand.
* banter between the likes of Cisco, Diggle, and Felicity is as welcome as ever – and Diggle’s reaction to the Martian Manhunter reveal is priceless, as poor Dig seems increasingly bewildered by the new wonders of the DCTVU.
* Oh, and select members of the Legends crew are… there, too.

* The Dominators will be the “big bad” in the four-episode crossover event, The CW announced today.
* Fans familiar with the aliens — towering, with bright yellow skin and giant teeth — may wonder just how many compromises producers will have to make to bring them to the screen in a way that looks good — but according to producers, the answer is none at all.
* Marc Guggenheim: “This year, for our mega ‘Arrowverse’ crossover, we’re taking inspiration from a DC crossover from the late 1980s known as Invasion!, which featured an alien race called the Dominators, who’d previously vexed the Legion of Superheroes,”
* Marc Guggenheim: “We’re using cutting edge prosthetics and computer effects to achieve a feature film-quality look which is faithful to Invasion! artist Todd McFarlane’s interpretation of the characters.”

* In the comics, Todd (Obsidian) was abused by his adoptive parents, which made him unstable and not always the “good guy” in the early days. He also eventually came out of the closet, and — as mentioned — was the son of Green Lantern. So how much of this could possibly have stuck around for TV?
*”It’s all in there. It’s all in there, every bit of it,” Lance Henriksen told ComicBook.com. “Yeah, being Green Lantern’s son and all that stuff and him being gay is all in there. It’s treated, honestly, kind of ungently.
