Beautiful, warm, whole and so, so strangely normal.īut it’s also wrong.
Thea runs Verdant, Sara does not belong to a mystical assassin cult and life is…normal. Slade Wilson never drove a sword through Moira Wilson’s stomach.
Robert Queen never shot himself in the middle of a stormy ocean. Oliver, having never stepped foot on his father’s yacht, is set to marry a very-much-alive Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy, not missing a physical or emotional beat). Here’s the gist: The Dominators, introduced as quite possibly the galaxy’s least interesting extraterrestrials in The Flash, have Oliver, Diggle, Ray, Sara and Thea hooked up to a device, a sort of pseudo-virtual-reality in which our five heroes are living their best lives. Jamey Sheridan as Robert Queen and Susanna Thompson as Moira Queen. Either way, there’s no denying it offered something we’ve never seen and certainly something new for Oliver, John Diggle, Sara Lance, Thea Queen and Ray Palmer: It offered a world without loss. A day later, I can’t decide whether it was an annoying distraction from the main storyline or the best Arrow episode in all five seasons. It was Arrow both at its cheesiest and its most effective. But “Invasion!” made up for it by going for the gut, and not in the way it, uh, usually does. As part three of the CW’s four-night mega-DC-crossover, it lacked the straight fun and bombast of last night’s The Flash. That’s…a little more complicated, and also the general theme of last night’s at-once heartwarming and heartbreaking hour of Arrow. Who would Oliver Queen be, had he never stepped foot aboard the Queen’s Gambit? What would he be without Lian Yu, without Slade Wilson, without Amanda Waller, Ra’s al Ghul or Bratva? What could he do with a body more ravaged by years as a billionaire party boy than it is by a network of criss-crossing scars? What if Oliver Queen had never, as he’s officially been saying for 100 episodes now, “become something else?” What if he stayed the same? Would he be happier? Almost undoubtedly. But would he be better? Moira, on the other hand, faced a different fate: In Season 2, in the midst of Slade Wilson’s reign of terror as Deathstroke (Manu Bennet), Slade killed Moira in front of Oliver and his sister Thea (Willa Holland) in one of the show’s most devastating moments.(L-R): Brandon Routh as Ray Palmer, David Ramsey as John Diggle, Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, and Caity Lotz as Sara Lance.
On the lifeboat, Robert shot a crew member and then himself to ensure Oliver could survive without their dead weight. Robert Queen killed himself shortly after the Queen’s Gambit went topside. In this new reality, Oliver’s parents Robert and Moira (Susanna Thompson) are still alive, as is Laurel, who is now engaged to Oliver. But the Arrow chapter of “Invasion!” will be more contained to Oliver’s personal history, where Oliver explores a life had he not been shipwrecked on Lian Yu.įor those entering “Invasion!” without familiarity to Arrow, here’s everything you need to remember or know about Oliver’s altered life: After being abducted by the Dominators on last night’s The Flash, Oliver will wake up in this week’s Arrow living the life he would’ve had, had he not gone with his father Robert Queen (Jamey Sheridan) and his lover Sara Lance (Caity Lotz) - the sister of his then actual girlfriend, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) - on the ill-fated yacht, The Queen’s Gambit.
#Arrow lian yu sara lance series
After five more years in the TV series Arrow, Oliver’s universe widened, and in this week’s four-series crossover with Supergirl, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow, Oliver will fight alongside aliens and time-traveling meta-humans to save the world from … well, more aliens. After five years away from home in Starling City, spoiled playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) became a vengeful weapon of justice as the superhero Green Arrow.
