"Arrow" is taking its midseason break and it's midseason finale revealed - and set up - quite a bit going forward. Here's what I'm wondering after the finale:
No. 1-When will Slade reveal himself?
We now know Slade is the one behind the serum operation we previously thought Sebastian Blood was running. How long will Slade stand stay in the shadows and fight Oliver? Besides the death of Shado, what else did Oliver do to make Slade turn against him? Did Oliver stick an arrow through his eye, causing him to need an eye patch?
No. 2-When will Laurel's romance with Sebastian become extremely dangerous?
Laurel and Blood have begun dating - something that puts Laurel in more danger than she can fathom. However, it looks as if - for the time being - their romance will only get stronger. He was there for her as her father was in the hospital. (Laurel has no idea Blood is the reason Larry is there.) Will Laurel's life be put in danger because of Blood?
No. 3-How much fun will Roy have with his super powers?
Roy was taking down bad guys before he started working for the Arrow and before he got super strength. Now that he's new and improved, will he begin beating up bad guys again? Will this force Oliver to reveal his true identity to Roy?
No. 4-Will Barry's new found powers give him a better chance with Felicity?
During the midseason finale, Barry told Felicity he understood why she would like Oliver - he's a billionaire and a superhero. Now that Barry, unlike Oliver, has actual superpowers, will Felicity be more attracted to him? (I don't think Felicity's a shallow character but I ask the question nonetheless.)
"Arrow" returns January 15 on The CW.
