Does anyone else think Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman) knows Oliver is the Hood?

And I keep so wondering if that tech girl is a working for Merlyn aswell.

Very interesting theory that. Especially with all Ollie has made her do so far, it seems weird she hasn't been more suspicious.

She seems too adorable though.

I wouldn't be surprised if Merlyn knows, maybe he never stopped suspecting Oliver after he was arrested? I'm sure he's got a lot of links to various authorities. Starling City is very corrupt and Ollie is trying to clear it up - wouldn't surprise me.

Excited to see what's to come! Can't wait for Burned.

They're going to have more than one new show next season.

[Ryder]

Yes they will and I saw that they already have 16/17 scripts already. Thats three times more than needed when they only need to pick up 4/5 pilots.

Why add this one thats kind of like Arrow now. This would dilute the brand.

Do you feel like your Fringe experience, especially with genre fans, helped prepare you for the attention you’re getting now for your role on Arrow?

GABEL: Yeah. The interest in the Arrow guest spot has been really surprising and incredible. I suppose it is from having such a wonderful audience from Fringe, and I’m so appreciative of that. The fans of Fringe are so loyal and incredible and powerful. They single-handedly kept that show on the air when the numbers showed that it should have canceled. To see the power that an audience like that has is really inspiring to me. I’m so glad that that audience has found Arrow. I was so excited to be a part of it because I’m a fan of the show and a fan of the genre, as well as the sci-fi genre. I love anything that has a big metaphor. It was a really exciting thing to be a part of, and I had so much fun doing it.

What can you say about your character, and how you approached playing somebody who’s considered a “super-villain”?

GABEL: I play The Count, who’s based on Count Vertigo of the comic book series. Instead of having superpowers, the powers are manifested in a drug called Vertigo, that I sell on the street. I’m essentially this street thug/drug kingpin, taking over the streets of Starling City. The way I justified being a super-villain, if you will, is that the character cares so much about money and power that he’s willing to do whatever it takes to acquire those things. In being totally consumed by money and power, I can completely ignore any questionable ethics, along that process, and just completely throw myself into doing whatever acts will achieve the acquisition of those things, whether it’s evil, wrong or whatever.

With as much fun as you had shooting your guest appearance, are you hoping that the character will return?

GABEL: Oh, definitely! It’s very possible that I’ll make future appearances, and it’s something that I would absolutely love doing.

When you see how Stephen Amell is so physically dedicated to the series, does it inspire you to work that much harder?

GABEL: Totally! I’m on a diet now and I’m working out more. People are like, “What prompted this in you?,” and I’m like, “Working with Stephen Amell!” You see the stuff that he’s capable of doing and the discipline that he has on set. Normally, when you see someone that looks like Stephen, you assume, “Okay, that’s their genetics. He’s a lucky bastard. I’ll never be like that.” But then, I got to talk to him and I was like, “What do you eat for lunch?,” and he said, “I just eat chicken and kale, every day.” I was like, “This guy is the real deal! He’s working hard to look like this and to be as physically capable as he is. This isn’t just someone who’s lucky.” It made me realize that you need to work for it. You can’t do these incredible things, unless you work for it. So, I’m taking that attitude into this holiday season and I’ve had the power to say not to about one-third of the cookies that have been thrown at me, which is a good step forward.

New Hi-Res Stills From "Burned" Featuring First Look At Firefly

[HighFivingMF]

Looks really badass. But some (one) of those image seem quite spoilery.

[Sawyer]

Good makeup work. Looks almost as ****ed up as Denis O'Hare on American Horror Story last season.

[gohei_]

Oh look, Two-Face
Make-up looks good though.

Also, I'm watching Dark Angel right now and asian Arrow plays a cop

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Anyone know when this starts up again in the UK? Done a search but cant seem to find a date.

[Destructus86]

Not impressed with Firefly at all. If it was me I would have given him a high tech suit that produced streams of fire, it would be an experimental suit created by a corp. for war.

[RetroNaz]

Oh man, I hope those images aren't spoilery. Not another villain death from one appearance!

[Nathan]

How many got killed off? Deadshot still has a chance at being alive.

[protocida]

Constantine Drakon, I guess.

So... five hundred internets if he makes his decisions by flipping his lighter?

Deadshot and the Royal Flush Gang is who I had in mind - both should have been a lot more established IMO and stronger adversaries. (Still loving the show, just a minor opinion piece).

[Nightwing]

Yeah, it's hard not to do a Two-Face joke when looking at that one pic haha. Still looks pretty decent - can't wait for the show to return.

[The Squirrel]

Deadshot could still come back.

[NosfeRomas]

Firefly looks like he could be the Trashcan man.

[mr. peasant]

Nah... going by his picture, Firefly should have been called Fire-fry!!

[RetroNaz]

He is...but with a racist asian accent.
