Team GATV Midseason Roundtable Part 2: Looking Ahead

<<Return to Page 9

Do you think Oliver will ever reclaim his company?

CRAIG: I don’t know if Queen Consolidated is that important for the show’s future. Oliver Queen losing his fortune coincided with around the time that Green Arrow became “cool” in the old DC Comics, so I’m fine with it if he no longer has his company to distract him.

MATT: It almost doesn’t seem to matter. I do think he will. Whether it’s sold back to Oliver or spun out as a subsidiary of Palmer Technologies, I think Ray will find a way to give Oliver back his family’s company.

STEPHANIE: I’m sure he will eventually for the resources, the cover, and the chance to honor his parents. Right now, not having control of his company hasn’t caused much of a setback to Oliver’s operation, so I see it happening further rather than sooner down the line.

DEREK: Maybe he’ll go the Lex Luthor route, and to differentiate it from the original company he’ll instead found OliveCorp? Plus, it’d be an even dorkier green allusion than “Verdant.”

Wow, that was terrible. I’m sure he will get it back by next season.

Come share your thoughts on Arrow on our forum at KSiteTV! Thanks to Matt, Derek, and Stephanie for participating in this roundtable! Don’t forget Arrow returns Jan. 21 with “Left Behind!”
