SPOILER ALERT: THIS POST CONTAINS PLOT DETAILS FROM THE SEASON FINALE OF ARROW

So that’s what they meant by epic. Arrow‘s first season finale, “Sacrifice,” delivered on several of the cryptic teases dropped by the show’s creative team and cast over the last few weeks, including a giant explosion, a giant earthquake, and a genuinely affecting death.

Arrow fans at PaleyFest got quite a show on Saturday night. Though the audience didn’t get to see an entire upcoming episode, the sizzle reel proved enticing enough, providing a number of big revelations (read: spoilers).

The most shocking reveal happened during a conversation between The Huntress and Detective Lance, but you’ll have to wait until the episode airs to find out what it is… or check back in with Spoiler Room.

Unlike many of the other panels here, there were only four actors from the show on hand, and much of the conversation was dominated by the three producers, but the audience didn’t seem to mind. Moderated by DC Comics’ Geoff Johns (who has also written for the CW series), the conversation was an in-depth look at the world of comics and the inspirations drawn for Arrow. One audience member even stood up to ask if Stephen Amell was ready for the commitment required to star in a genre show. He said he’s trying, and often looks to fellow cast mate and genre show veteran John Barrowman (who was not in attendance) for guidance.

Click past the jump to read 10 of the best insights and teases from the stars and producers.

New 'Arrow' sneak peek: He shoots, he scores! -- VIDEO

Green Arrow or gritty, urban Robin Hood? The line looks a little blurry in the following sneak peek of The CW’s Arrow, the story of rich playboy turned crusading vigilante Oliver Queen. In this clip from the series’ pilot, Queen’s super alter ego heads to a dark parking garage, where he persuades a certain bad guy to help Starling City… or else. Hint: The henchmen don’t exactly make it out unscathed.

The video is a good indication of the show’s darker-than-Smallville tone, as well as its “rage of the 99 percent” ethos. As co-creator Marc Guggenheim told reporters at Comic-Con this year, Oliver is targeting “the wealthy and corrupt. There’s some echos of the 1 percent and Occupy Wall Street …  he’s a man of the people and taking it back for the little guy.” Give it a shot, won’t you?

CW's 'Arrow' poster has shirtless Stephen Amell -- PHOTO

When the trailer for The CW’s Arrow was first released in May, there was one element in particular that got the network’s viewers abuzz. Not the Green Arrow’s costume. Not the bow. Not the —
