Honey Queen doesn’t give a shit.  He’ll chase you even if he’s unarmed.

Ollie finally catches up to him and quickly puts him in a headlock.  The bad guy says that he doesn’t have to do this, but Ollie says no one can know his secret.   Then snaps his neck!  Whoa, I’m glad this show is going to dark places.  Green Arrow does not fuck around.  He will kill your ass.

Status as secret parkour master secured.

The boys are back at the mansion being interviewed by someone we presume to be a police detective.  Ollie’s story is that a man in a green hoodie flew in and took out all three kidnappers.  Tommy says he saw blurry movement, but that’s all.  The detective is being a complete dick about a kidnapping sitch.  He comments about a likely ransom and then says that a parent would do anything to keep their child safe while looking right at Oliver.  So we have to assume he’s a bad guy and knows about Ollie and his dad on the island. 

Ollie is looking at microfiche or something and we see a list of names in his little diary that includes Adam Hunt.  Mommy Queenest introduces John Diggle, who will be accompanying Oliver from now on.  Well how is he supposed to whoop some criminal ass with this guy around all the time?

Driving Miss Crazy

Just as Diggle is telling Ollie that his comfort is not a factor in keeping him safe, Ollie has jumped out of the car to go off on his own.  Ollie heads to his dad’s shut down factory in what look like the slums of Starling City and hops a fence.  He busts through a concrete floor to find a secret chamber that he is setting up with computers and green lights.  The lengths guys will go to in order to set up a decent masturbatorium.

Pimp my headquarters.

He wastes no time and gets right to making arrows and working out.

He would totally win American Ninja Warrior.

He’s brought the box from under his bed and pulls out a bow then eyefucks it for a few seconds.  He releases some tennis balls and shoots all those bitches against a wall.  It is sexy.

Ollie narrates that Adam Hunt has been able to bully, bribe, or kill anyone who has gotten in his way.  He pulls his hoodie out of the box and we cut to Adam Hunt with his entourage while he makes threats about some rando guy.  He says to fix the Ruby situation.  Oh no, not my girl!  Green Arrow shoots a light out and wastes a dude right in the chest with an arrow.  Nice.

    I liked it, especially Oliver’s workout routine. They need to show more of that, less of David Cassidy’s daughter. She and Oliver had ZERO chemistry. What poor casting for Black Canary. She must give great blowjobs ‘cuz girl keeps getting roles but she couldn’t act her way out of a wet paperbag.

    The premiere was pretty good but the show would be great if Oliver and Tommy became lovers with sex scenes each episode.

    Just sayin’.

    I mainly watched this because I love superhero and fantasy shows,but based on the commercials I had kind of low expectations. Which is probable good since I had high expectations for Grimm and turned out to be disappointing. But I really like this show, I thinks it helps that I don’t know much about Green Arrow. I love that he’s already Green Arrow. I was kind expecting this to be an origin story, but I’m glad it’s not.

    This recap was great and full of snark. Best line that summed up while I will be watching next week – “Then Queenie is shirtless for no good reason, so this show is really shaping up to be good.” They really just need to spend about five minutes on GA’s workout routine, but only if he is shirtless the whole time.

    I have never heard of the Green Arrow comics so I am happy that they are giving back story to the character.
