Arrow

[Evildrider]

I didn't expect it so soon is the big thing.

[HaemishM]

I liked everything except the ending and the forced drama. The "I can't be with Felicity" thing is something he should have gotten over by the end of last season.

[Venkman]

Yea I understand emo's gotta emo, but just once I'd like a whole episode that was happy

I do like Routh's character, for however long he's on this instead of Flash.

[Venkman]

Liked this episode a lot. Far less drama shit, more of the humor. And enjoying alot Routh's character. He's basically just billionaire Clark Kent, which is pulls off well. The dialog wasn't stupid either. Two seasons ago, Oliver would have

Did anyone notice that the schematics Palmer were looking at were labeled O.M.A.C.? Nice nod to DC fans or future villain?

You can never tell with that stuff on Arrow.  They have so many easter eggs littered throughout the show.

[Hawkbit]

I started watching this on Netflix and thought S1 was good, not awesome.  Now I'm at S2:e9 and I really, really like it.  I'm going to stop watching to catch my wife up on it, then watch from there.

[HaemishM]

Yes, by season 2, it had really caught its stride. It's stumbled in very small ways this season, but I'm still digging it.

[HaemishM]

Still not as hot as the first Canary. I do dig that Wildcat is her trainer, though.

Yeah, they can't all be Caity Lotz!

[Evildrider]

[Pennilenko]

You can't possibly do the source material any more justice than that.

[HaemishM]

Absolutely. I cheered when that shit happened.

Arrow's not as good so far this year for me.  Loved the boxing glove arrow though!  Looking forward to The Flash vs. Arrow.  Should be good nerdy fun.  Getting Brandon Routh was a masterstroke, always felt like he got a raw deal from Superman Returns.  Now he's the
Nice that Felicity is acting like the bridge between Arrow and The Flash.  They ever kill her off I'm done with Arrow.  She purty.

I like Arrow's supporting characters better than the Flashes, BUT right now The Flash is the superior show.  Kinda weird.  But Arrow brings Arsenal AND Diggle now and soon Black Canary?  Geez Oliver, scared to go alone?

[Ceryse]

I prefer Arrow to the Flash still. The Flash just.. eh. It's getting better, but I just don't care as much about the Flash. Probably because I've never been a fan of the Flash and find a lot about the character stupid (the super hero character, not the Barry Allen character), and just prefer the normal-ish human vigilante approach more.

Arrow would be one of my favourite shows of all time if they killed Laurel, though. Such a poor character/actress. She ruins almost every scene she's in, at least for me. Still, even with her and the whole 'not killing' crap which annoys me slightly (sorry, but in a super-hero-ish universe.. you kill your enemies because there's a good chance they'll get free later and kill people.. and that is on whomever had the chance to kill them and passed) I enjoy the show a lot.

[Evildrider]

Arrow totally wins on the midseason finale.   

[Pennilenko]

Holy fuck balls,

[satael]

That was pretty good but

[Ceryse]

Really enjoyed the mid-season finale. Much better than the Flash mid-season finale; just felt better acted, better paced.. and with actual stakes (even knowing Oliver's plot armour is thick enough to keep him alive no matter what).

Will be interesting to see how the keep him alive and such without it feeling incredibly cheap, but I actually feel like they'll find a way, as they've done a decent job in the past.

[Evildrider]

[Threash]

I don't see how they come back from that, even when it is obvious they will.  When is this show supposed to come back?

[Evildrider]

Early January I believe. 

[jgsugden]

It does seem likely that the events of the episode will result in the Canary taking the field to fill the hole...  I'm just wondering if they'll give her the voice or not.

As for Ollie,

[Khaldun]

all the way. I don't think you can complain when it's already been referenced a couple of times and is an integral part of the character (Ra's) and his mythology. Plus it ties to Mirakiru in some interesting ways--remember that Ivo said he was looking for originally, and the negative side effects of Mirakiru are more or less exactly the same negative effects ofin the comics.

[HaemishM]

That was my thought as well.

I had a little squee when I saw the A.T.O.M. exosuit stuff.

[Khaldun]

I can even guess why--

[Venkman]

Finally caught up with the season. Tense stuff. I REALLY love Palmer, and whatever his purpose get into the plot has been fun. My guess is like yours here, the next few episodes (which start Jan 21) are:

Sad Felicity makes me sad.

I have to think eventually she winds up melding them together because she is starting to realize if these guys fight alone they probably will die alone. So they need to not be alone and have backup sufficient for the tasks at hand.

[Tannhauser]

I was pissed off that they showed  in the damn promos.

Otherwise good episode.  It was good to see the supporting cast carrying the show.

Did you...did you not see that coming? Like, ten miles away?

[Threash]

She already wore the wig and costume previously, all she added was the sonic toys.

[Tannhauser]

Saw it coming but didn't know when or in what context. 

I do like Laurel; two episodes of drinking and she's a drunk.  Two episodes of pill popping and she's a pill head. 

[jgsugden]

At least she is consistent.  2 and you're good to go.
