Arrow: Year One

Last night the CW aired an intriguing hour of television called "Arrow: Year One." Narrated by Stephen Amell, the actor who portrays Oliver Queen, it tells the tale of the first season of "Arrow" somewhat chronologically, by storyline, by character, and by episode.

When I say intriguing, I mean odd for the medium. What we saw is essentially a clip show, with a voiceover telling us exactly what we're seeing. Anything that wasn't clear in viewing the last season, we're told outright. For instance, things we viewers may have assumed, like names, are verified in this 'special episode.'

We get to the end of the tale, and our season one cliffhanger. The Undertaking ultimately involved destroying The Glades with an earthquake device, and succeeded. Of course it all ends with a two-minute preview of season two. Here, however, is a juicy clip from season two they didn't show. Don't say I never gave you anything.



Yeah, baby. Be here next week for a review of the first new episode of "Arrow."
