《绿箭侠》 Season 3 Premiere: An 'Emotional' Kiss, Two Big Entrances, Amell vs. Amell and 更多 

pierces its enemies when it returns for Season 3 Wednesday at 8/7c. TVLine just screened the pivotal hour, and we’re sharing some observations, as well as scoop from executive producer Marc Guggenheim about Oliver and Felicity’s big [SPOILER], Ray Palmer’s unexpected entrance, the surprise Laurel has for someone and more.

Season 3 Poster Highlights the Fortified Team Arrow

* It is quite possible that we have never seen Oliver smile so much during an episode.

* Roy is a part of Team Arrow in a big way, and the group will continue to evolve in the premiere. Also: Fancy new arrows!

* Brandon Routh makes his entrance not at Queen Consolidated, but at a location that may make you think of his previous gig,

. Also, his interaction with Felicity? It doesn’t go as expected.

* Some things to know about Oliver and Felicity’s “explosive” first date: Ollie pulls a reverse Superman with his outfit; both parties are more than a little nervous; Oliver recounts the day he met Felicity (including an incredibly small detail about that encounter).

* If you were worried that “Olicity’s” hospital lip-lock would get interrupted by any number of emergencies, fret not. “I’m very happy with the circumstances under which they have their first kiss,” Guggenheim teases. “I hope it plays as unexpected. I hope it plays as emotional.”

* Laurel has a nice surprise for Oliver that brings yet another smile to his face. (Seriously, so much

* Sara makes a memorable re-entrance into Starling City, meeting up with both Oliver and her sister Laurel.

* The hour features several cool fight/action sequences, but the best one showcases Stephen Amell and… Stephen Amell.

* Now’s a good time to jump on board the CW drama, if you for some reason have yet to do so. “We closed a chapter at the end of Season 2, and this is a brand-new opening,” Guggenheim says. “It’s pretty new viewer-friendly.”

I’m excited for this show to come back!

I’ve never been so excited for a show to come back! The anticipation is killing me.

Damn I wish the Arrow premiere was 2 hrs! Cant wait for Wednesday!

This is one show that I have really been looking forward too!

Good scoop about the season premiere! So excited for the show to come back next week!

I can’t wait for Arrow to return! It sounds like an exciting season. I’m even looking forward to the flashbacks. I think those are going in a really interesting direction. Hoping we see lots of Oliver, Felicity and Diggle work in the field, and I would love to see Quentin getting to work and interact with all three of them much more this year. And of course Oliver and Felicity! So excited! I really hope the show explores their relationship and builds it up over this season. Love these two together.

cool action sequence with olicity romance. AMAZING! bless you arrow, I can’t wait!

147 day hiatus and it’s finally almost over. So much scoop here that has me smiling like a happy fool…Welcome back Arrow, can’t WAIT for the new chapter.

What is it with that show? I’ve never been as obsessed about a TV show as I am with Arrow. …

Me too …for me I love Felicity … Digg… Oliver … Team Arrow …great action sequences!!

Thanks for the scoop! I am so excited. I’ve never been this excited for a TV show to return before. I can’t wait to see Team Arrow back in action and the long awaited Olicity kiss!

I’ve been looking forward to this premiere more than any other. I can’t wait! Go Team Arrow!

The anticipation is killing me. So close but so far away. Love Arrow.

I am excited, but I may have to watch it on Hulu or something. Family dinner that night with my grandmother, who I maybe see once a year. But, hey, when you live in an age when you can watch whatever, whenever you want, there’s no worrying about ‘missing’ something. Sure, I’ll have to deal with spoilers, but I’m prepared for that.

And the Daddy Diggle pic still makes me smile. :) Is it wrong that I’m cooing more at Daddy than at the Digglet?

I want that Kiss now, i need it asap

Being able to start with season 3 might be cool, but logging in the hours of season 1 and that backstory is what makes season 2 so amazing in comparison. If more people watch it’s all good.. But I am looking more forward to this season because of the journey we’ve been taken on so far.

I agree. I wouldn’t recommend anyone start watching Arrow from season 3. You need to watch from the beginning. It’s a hero’s journey.

Yay! Arrow is back on again real soon! Also can’t wait for Flash :0)

Already getting my Agents of Shield and Gotham fix too lol.

the best show on cw and one of the good quality show which is very entertaining. im hoping for more digg n felicity momemt. my bro-OTP

Seriously excited that this show is back!!! 8pm I am in front of my TV next Wednesday and God help anyone who interrupts me!!!!!
