Arrow Season 4: 16 WTF Moments From 'Beacon Of Hope'

13. Booted Out

It€™s still a little surprising to see uber-rogue Damien Darhk locked up, even if his incarceration is only going to be a temporary one, but it was a shocker here to learn that the villain has seemingly been given the boot by H.I.V.E. Even more WTF was that it was Malcolm Merlyn who was tasked with breaking the news to the locked-up Darhk. If ever there was someone tailor-made for breaking bad news, it€™s the ever-d*ckish Merlyn, making this revelation an even bitterer pill to swallow for Darhk. Still, you have to think that some sort of vengeance is going to be unleashed shortly by Damien Darhk, and Malcolm could well find himself in the crosshairs.

Between his main day job, his role as the lead panel host of Wales Comic Con, and his gig as a pre-match host for Wrexham AFC games, Andrew has also carried out a hugely varied amount of interviews, from the likes of Robert Englund, Kane Hodder, Adrienne Barbeau, Rob Zombie, Katharine Isabelle, Leigh Whannell, Bruce Campbell, and Tony Todd, to Kevin Smith, Ron Perlman, Elijah Wood, Giancarlo Esposito, Simon Pegg, Charlie Cox, the Russo Brothers, and Brian Blessed, to Kevin Conroy, Paul Dini, Tara Strong, Will Friedle, Burt Ward, Andrea Romano, Frank Miller, and Rob Liefeld, to Bret Hart, Sting, Mick Foley, Ricky Starks, Jamie Hayer, Britt Baker, Eric Bischoff, and William Regal, to Mickey Thomas, Joey Jones, Phil Parkinson, Brian Flynn, Denis Smith, Gary Bennett, Karl Connolly, and Bryan Robson - and that's just the tip of an ever-expanding iceberg.
