The CW’s ‘Arrow‘ will finally return from its Olympic slumber next Wednesday with the tick-tock of Oliver’s “Time of Death,” introducing ‘Prison Break’ baddie Robert Knepper as the infamous DC villain. Before the clock strikes however, we’ve got the full set of photos and a new preview for next week’s ‘Arrow’ return.
While we’ve seen plenty of photos of the villain himself, William Tockman (Knepper) has nothing on the terror of the Lance’s full family reunion, following Sara (Caity Lotz)’s big reveal from prior installment “Heir to the Demon.” Oliver attempts to smooth the transition, but knowing Laurel, the booze will be flowing heartily. Elsewhere, what’s got Felicity into such damning trouble with our DC villain?

Here’s what The CW had to say of next week’s “Time of Death”:

ROBERT KNEPPER AND ALEX KINGSTON GUEST STAR — Oliver (Stephen Amell) brings Sara (Caity Lotz) into the Arrow team. Watching Oliver and Diggle (David Ramsey) spar with Sara and talk old scars, Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) starts to feel left out.

The team is investigating a villain named William Tockman, a.k.a. The Clock King (guest star Robert Knepper), who is a brilliant thief armed with technology that can open any bank vault in Starling City. After The Clock King infiltrates the computer systems in the lair, Felicity feels pressure to prove her worth. When she gets a lead on Tockman’s whereabouts, she heads out without the team, putting her in peril.

Meanwhile, Oliver throws Sara a welcome home party, but Laurel (Katie Cassidy) refuses to attend. After Lance (Paul Blackthrone) makes his case for a family dinner, Laurel acquiesces, but when Oliver shows up with Sara, she loses her temper on both of them.

Here’s some more “Flash” TV series news for you all! It looks like we will be seeing a glimpse of what the “Flash” TV series will look like as the “Arrow” himself, Stephen Amell confirmed that “Flash” TV series characters will make an appearance this season!
“Arrow” star Stephen Amell confirmed that “Central City” characters are coming to “Arrow” this season 2. Take note that he said “characterS” meaning Grant Gustin and at least one other person will be appearing on “Arrow” just before the season 2 finale!

Stephen Amell also said that the “Flash” TV series characters would appear next season, at least in cameos. So fans can expect another crossoverbetween the “Flash” TV series and the “Arrow” TV series next season.

Rumors say that the crossover will be “team up” episodes where Green Arrow and The Flash will team up and fight bad guys. These are just rumors but they have enough weight in them in that they can happen on the next season of “Arrow”, just like what we reported on a previous article about Green Lantern and Gorilla Grodd appearing on the “Flash” TV series season 2.

The network, Warner Bros., and DC Entertainment have announced that the popular show has been renewed for a third season. In fact, stars Stephen Amell, Colton Haynes, and Caity Lotz took to Amell’s Facebook page and shot a pic of the trio holding up the three fingers sign to confirm the good news!

As a modern re-telling of the character’s life and origin based on the DC Comics character Green Arrow, the series stars Canadian born actor Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, a billionaire playboy from Starling City.

The young Queen returns to his hometown five years after being stranded on an island following a shipwreck incident. He is re-united with his family and friends, but also driven to begin a crusade to find out those who, years earlier, were responsible for his fate.

The series focuses on Ollie as he takes up a bow, arrow, and hood to clean up his city, while also flashing back to his experiences during his time on the island itself.

Hiding his secret from his family, Ollie is eventually assisted and joined by his bodyguard John Diggle (David Ramsey) and his company’s IT specialist Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards)

Now running on its second season, “Arrow” has steadily risen up in ratings thanks to its superb writing and character casting. Literally shifting gears and taking the character to familiar ground, Ollie has refocused his efforts to clean up crime by trying another way, by actually refraining from killing the criminals he hunts down.

The supporting cast further expands with the addition of Roy Harper (Colton Haynes), a former petty crook who idolizes Arrow and becomes the boyfriend of Oliver’s sister Thea (Willa Holland), and the emergence of another mysterious female vigilante known as the “Canary” (Caity Lotz), who’s is more than meets the eye, in terms of combat savvy.

As the dangers of his double life and mission escalate with the growing criminal element and figures tied to his past in the island, Ollie’s mission to save those he cares for and become the hero he was born to be has only just begun.

Much like the Superman centered series “Smallville”, “Arrow” aims to take point and establish a true shared DC TV Universe in the small screen. This was done with the successful introduction of other DC Comics characters not necessarily related to Green Arrow, but encountered by the character through his adventures in the comics. This includes Slade Wilson/ Deathstroke (played by Manu Bennett) as Ollie’s former ally and now primary antagonist.

Stephen Amell, who entertains many on Twitter and Facebook in addition to his role as Oliver Queen on Arrow, has now set out to conquer a new medium: He now has his own YouTube channel.

Check out his first video below. If you click on the video it will take you to his channel!

Just how popular is the CW show Arrow? Popular enough that when Stephen Amell was answering fan questions on the show’s official Facebook page, the chat was shut down when Amell responded to too many questions and was blocked from commenting.
After answering a handful of fan questions in one thread, he started another thread, saying that for some reason he wasn’t able to respond to anything on the previous one.

Then things went silent for a while, until Stephen responded with this message:

K… Facebook has fully blocked me from making comments on any and all posts because I’m so prolific at replying their algorithm’s determined I must be a spam bot. I AM AMELL THE SPAM BOT.

Sorry everybody… Wanted to go for another 30 minutes. My apologies if your question didn’t get answered. We will do this again and it won’t mess up.

In the meantime… I’m sort of glad I broke Facebook.

Facebook fail! Maybe he can try doing a Google Hangout next time and see if that will work better.

There’s been a barrage of bad guys in “Arrow’s” Starling City this season, but it appears that this week, Stephen Amell’s Oliver Queen is about to get some more muscle on the ground thanks to some recent developments with Colton Haynes’ Roy Harper.

The mirakuru-serum injection has made Roy both super-strong and unpredictable, and if the previews are anything to go by, Stephen’s The Arrow is going to take the young man under his wing. And, while training Roy, there will be a treat for fans of The CW show — the return of Stephen’s salmon ladder pull-ups!

Stephen hinted at what’s to come between the two characters when AccessHollywood.com spoke with him on Monday night. We also managed to get his thoughts on “Olicity” (Oliver + Felicity), and whether or not he thinks it’s possible that Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen/The Flash could come back to Starling City this season (before the character is spun off into his own pilot episode).
