A
bow and arrow is a weapon consisting of two parts: projectile and launcher.
The
bow and arrow have played a significant role in TV history, and not just in the
many adaptations of Robin Hood, including Robin of Sherwood.
In
Star
Trek (1966-1969), Captain Kirk (William Shatner) and Mr. Spock (Leonard
Nimoy) fashion crude bows and arrows wile on the planet Capella, in an attempt
to save the dead Teer’s wife, Elaan (Julie Newmar) from a death sentence.
In
Land
of the Lost (1974-1977), the Sleestak of Altrusia are armed with
cross-bows and arrows, though they rarely wound anybody with the.
In
both Smallville
(2001-2011) and Arrow (2012 - ), Oliver Queen stalks city streets by night,
armed for vigilante justice with a bow and arrow.
On
Teen
Wolf (2011 - ), Alison Argent (Crystal Reed), Scott’s (Tyler Posey)
girlfriend, is an expert archer.
Daryl
Dixon (Norman Reedus) on The Walking Dead (2010 - ) always
has his crossbow and arrows at the ready, facing armies of the dead. It is a
signature move, in virtually every single episode, for Daryl to retrieve his
arrows after felling walkers with shots to the head.
The
Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi) demonstrated his agility with a bow in arrow in
the Doctor
Who (2005 - ) serial, “Robot of Sherwood.”
