Online Watch Arrow Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.Diggle disapproves of Oliver sharing his secret with Helena as he’s not sure she can be trusted, but Oliver refuses to listen to his concerns. Helena’s quest for revenge proves to be too strong for Oliver to handle after she kills the head of the Triad and all hell breaks loose.After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific. When he returns home to Starling City, his devoted mother Moira, much-beloved sister Thea, and best friend Tommy welcome him home, but they sense Oliver has been changed by his ordeal on the island.
While Oliver hides the truth about the man he's become, he desperately wants to make amends for the actions he took as the boy he was. Most particularly, he seeks reconciliation with his former girlfriend, Laurel Lance. As Oliver reconnects with those closest to him, he secretly creates the persona of Arrow - a vigilante – to right the wrongs of his family, fight the ills of society, and restore Starling City to its former glory.
By day, Oliver plays the role of a wealthy, carefree and careless philanderer he used to be - flanked by his devoted chauffeur/bodyguard, John Diggle - while carefully concealing the secret identity he turns to under cover of darkness. However, Laurel's father, Detective Quentin Lance, is determined to arrest the vigilante operating in his city.
Meanwhile, Oliver's own mother, Moira, knows much more about the deadly shipwreck than she has let on – and is more ruthless than he could ever imagine. The series stars Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, Colin Donnell as Tommy, Katie Cassidy as Laurel Lance, David Ramsey as John Diggle, Willa Holland as Thea Queen, with Susanna Thompson as Moira Queen and Paul Blackthorne as Detective Quentin Lance.
By the episode’s end, however, the two manage to set their differences aside, as the larger, and possibly more important issue begins to present itself. Regardless of the reasons for embarking on their quests, the common bond that exists between them is the isolation they feel as a byproduct of the paths they’ve chosen.
In one another’s company, Oliver and Helena can be the people they truly are – no secrets, no lies, and no helmets or face paint required. It’s another reminder of the consequences of Oliver’s double life, and what he’s given up in pursuit of justice.
Sure, Oliver has let Diggle (David Ramsey) in on his secret, but Diggle isn’t as scarred as Ollie – grief-stricken and compelled to act over the loss of his brother, yes, but psychologically speaking, he’s not in the same place as Oliver.
Helena, on the other hand, knows what it’s like to want to make up for the sins of the father, and what it means to put everything else in life on hold for a single purpose. In a way, they’re made for each other. That doesn’t mean it’s going to end well, as the two will inevitably become entangled in the mob war between Bertinelli’s crew and China White (Kelly Hu) and the Triads, but for now they at least have that initial spark.
I thoroughly enjoyed the pilot episode, and not being a comic book fan didn't feel lost at all. The story is set up extremely well, and you can see there is clearly a lot of potential there and a lot of places they can explore if they so desire. Along with "last resort" this was the best new pilot that i have seen in a while.
I can see this running a long time, as it strongly reminds me of Nolan's Batman series and is completely different to the green arrow offered up in "Smallville" which i also thought was pretty good in its own unique way. The darker grittier Green Arrow is a much better one and i prefer the way he isn't being portrayed as someone who is extremely nice to everyone and only uses violence when its the only way out like a "batman" sort of character.
You can also see how what happened at the start has affected him and the difference is portrayed well by the other cast members; all of whom seem to be suited to their respective roles.
It is too early to say whether this is gonna be around for ages and be known as the best comic book to TV show adaptation, however if the show can continue its quality that was shown in the pilot episode then the future is green for Arrow!
