'Arrow' Season 2 Premiere Spoilers: 'So Goes Oliver, So Goes the City'

By Clare Morris, Christian Post Contributor Wednesday, October 09, 2013

Popular CW show "Arrow" returns to air tonight at 8/7c with the premiere of season 2. For those who can't wait until tonight, read up on some spoilers from executive producers Marc Guggenheim and Andrews Kreisberg below.

According to a recent interview Marc Guggenheim and Andrews Kreisberg had with TV Guide, the Undertaking hit hard, and the city has a hard recovery ahead.

"It took it on the chin in the finale. As bad as the city was in Season 1, it's even worse now. That's part of Oliver's journey this season," Kreisberg said. "We always say, 'So goes Oliver, so goes the city.' He's in a very dark place and he really realizes in the premiere episode that he can't be the vigilante anymore. It's not enough to cross names off the list and target the one percent. That didn't work. He failed last year. This season really needs to be about something else."

"The city needs a hero. It needs a symbol of hope. That's why we titled Episode 1 'City of Heroes.' That's our title for the season in an odd way, because it's really about heroes coming out of the woodwork like Oliver. Even the villains this season are going to view themselves as the hero," he continued.

Guggenheim discussed how Oliver and Laurel's relationship will progress throughout season two in light of Tommy's death.

"We said there would be all these different repercussions from Tommy's death and we're being true to that," he explained. "Every episode invokes Tommy or comes out of what happened in the finale to Tommy in a very specific way. At the core, there's always their love for each other because they are star-crossed lovers."

"That said, I have to say something to keep myself from getting yelled at by the people who are shipping Oliver and Felicity. The relationship between Oliver and Felicity over the course of Season 2 will evolve and deepen. Their relationship by the end of the season won't be the same as it is at the beginning of the season," the executive producer said.
