It introduced “the list.” It showed how Oliver’s father, Robert, died and how Oliver intended to right his father’s wrongs. It was a chilling narrative laid over a dark story of rescue and revenge. Stephen Amell, who plays the title character, opened the episode with his character’s voice over. The pilot episode featured a bearded Oliver Queen being rescued from a deserted island.
