Arrow Season 4: 11 Questions We're Asking After The Mid-Season Premiere

9. What's The Next Stage Of Genesis?

"Genesis is almost ready. We're much too close to play games." / "Do you remember what I promised you?" / "A new beginning." / "And you shall have it. Once we've brought this world to its end." Well, that was certainly a cheery conversation, and a nice way of Darhk's wife Revé to show her appreciation for Team Arrow saving her and her daughter. It's not the first time that this Genesis project of Darhk's has been mentioned, but this is the closest we've got to both figuring out what it actually is, and when it'll happen. How, exactly, is Darhk going to destroy the world? Does he really mean the entire world, and he's starting with Star City? It feels a little bit League of Assassins/Shadows (so much so I initially typed Gotham instead of Star), which I guess is in part because Darhk used to be a part of them, but it's a pretty mammoth undertaking (not to be confused with The Undertaking, though again it's quite similar), so hopefully we'll get a little bit more information about the plan in the coming weeks.
