    The CW Picks Up "Arrow" as a Series

    The official synopsis:

    “After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific. When he returns home to Starling City, his devoted mother Moira, much-beloved sister Thea, and best friend Tommy welcome him home, but they sense Oliver has been changed by his ordeal on the island. While Oliver hides the truth about the man he’s become, he desperately wants to make amends for the actions he took as the boy he was. Most particularly, he seeks reconciliation with his former girlfriend, Laurel Lance. As Oliver reconnects with those closest to him, he secretly creates the persona of Arrow – a vigilante – to right the wrongs of his family, fight the ills of society, and restore Starling City to its former glory. By day, Oliver plays the role of a wealthy, carefree and careless philanderer he used to be – flanked by his devoted chauffeur/bodyguard, John Diggle – while carefully concealing the secret identity he turns to under cover of darkness. However, Laurel’s father, Detective Quentin Lance, is determined to arrest the vigilante operating in his city. Meanwhile, Oliver’s own mother, Moira, knows much more about the deadly shipwreck than she has let on – and is more ruthless than he could ever imagine.“
    I always wonder why exactly they change stuff like "Green Arrow" to just "Arrow", "Star City" to "Starling City" and "Dinah Laurel Lance" to "Laurel Lance"...

    And although the basic Green Arrow origin is there, it sounds more like it's going to be soap opera-like...

    I might tune in for the pilot, but this doesn't sound like it's gonna hold my interest the way "Smallville" did. Still don't know why they didn't take the Green Arrow from Smallville and expand upon him...
    sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

      Because they already developed the Smallville character too much, they need to start from scratch........the word is REBOOT! Just like the Comics every 5 years.
