So am I PSYCHED for tonight?


Hello All,
  So before I go and answer the very question that I pose in the title of this blog entry which I'm sure anyone who is anybody already knows the answer to is? I must say even though he has this very quote to villains everywhere " YOU HAVE FAILED THIS CITY" throughout the series so far he to will admit to having "FAILED HIS CITY" a time or too. I have been binge watching it from the series beginning as I have said before since my step brother's brain injury that ended up taking his life. Of those episodes we learned in season one that he was on a stranded island as he tells his family and friends in the pilot, but come to find out he was given a list of names by his father and instructed to "RIGHT HIS FATHER'S WRONG DOINGS, OF STARLING CITY". We came to see how he took down street thugs and over the line crossing crime bosses throughout the course of season one only to find out that his mother Moria Queen was part of something hinted at. It was revealed that she herself had something to hide besides her knowledge of  what she took part in called "THE UNDERTAKING". The Undertaking resulted in a father killing his only and friend of Oliver Queen the Arrow's true self, and like any hero trying find himself Oliver blames himself for what happen to his friend even through he knows that the friend's father was the real killer, and Oliver killed him for trying to destroy the city. In year two of Arrow we find that a passenger who was with the Queens when the ship blew up is back as a vigilante herself.           
           Who tired to never let her own family knew she hadn't perished at sea like Ollie was letting his own family do from back in the past year, but at the same time Oliver didn't know she was running around either or from someone. What learn is that both she and Oliver before becoming they are now spent time on that island both trying get back to Starling city, yet when they hear that her family is used as a lure to draw them out into the open Oliver learns where his shipmate was when she went missing after fatal accident on the Queens Gambit the family boat of the Queen family. We also learn some ghosts never stay dead either of who the character Oliver Queen calls  a friend......Who is much like Peter Parker's Norman Osborn if you know what I mean? 
      There were a lot of unanswered questions at the end of season two like what had happen to the person who Ollie called his sister Thea Queen?, What caused the father of the female vigilante have his body be ripped up as if something was tearing at his insides? and yet most importantly how did Oliver in up in Hon Kong after being saved during the time he was thought dead! Yes I can say that as soon as I got season two in the mail I devoured it just as much as the first season, in fact I was up this past Friday night watching that part of him being in Hon Kong and was left wondering what are the show's writers and directors going do for season three, I guess like all fans of this series I'll be thrilled through out it all just to see what the cliff hanger will be aimed at for sure?   

One thing I can let you all know is this ONE of the man behind the foe known as this year's BIG 75 year old comic book character Batman is involved as the key villain on this season of ARROW! 

All I know is I have been struck by how Awe striking AWESOME this comic book character has pulled me Matt Byrd into wanting to know him more as a friend if he were a real person and my answer to my posed question is this just hit me with your best shot!
