Error 404 posted:Whereas, I think War Journal was great on one hand, but kinda seemed to take itself too seriously and descended into attempted GrimDarkness too much, like they wanted so badly to be Man on Fire, but got lost and ended up being Toxic Avenger with a budget. War Zone had a pretty consistent tone, i think the problem was more with the first movie, it seems like they tried to make a serious movie, because of the story they based it on. But it just ended up with some cringe worthy scenes that i can only assume were unintentional.

I guess it's not quite weird enough, but I'd love to see the show go completely camp for an episode and use all the crazy tools in comic book Ollie's arsenal.

The idea behind the list is arrows sillier than the boxing glove. They mention it in the intro paragraph.

The Fake-Cat arrow takes the cake, but runner up? The Stickum-Shaft Arrow. The article posted:When I first saw Oliver had something called a "Stickum-Shaft Arrow," I worried that it was some kind of Silver Age, Native American racist caricature arrow. Nope! It's just a long, hard shaft he fires at his eventual lover Black Canary, which covers her in sticky goo. No problems there!

I totally forgot about how amazing JLU Question was. I just fell into a YouTube hole looking up basically all of his clips. This renews my hope and desire for a recurring Question, and knowing Arrow it's entirely possible.

I decided to marathon 4400 a couple months ago because "hey look! Sci-fi show I haven't watched yet!", and it was physically jarring every time Jeffery Combs was on screen just because of how synonymous his voice is to the Question in my head. But yeah. He's getting a little up there to play Q on arrow, unless they want to use him as an aging Vic Sage to help introduce Renee Montoya to the crew. That would be kickin' rad, but it would never happen.

Has anyone else seen a viral ad for movie or show with super speed or teleportation? Started showing up on my Facebook feed, it's a Japanese traffic cam and some unknown guy prevents a person from being nailed by a truck at the last second. Some friends thought the flash TV show but I'm not sure how old it is.

Do you mean the one on this page: http://www.ufosightingsdaily.com/2012/09/alien-saves-mans-life-in-china-car.html (first google result I got for what you mentioned). Camera dates it in 2012, whereas Arrow takes place in almost current time (so 2013 for Flash transformation). Would be cool though if it is a flash teaser.

Ok, I apologize for the outburst but I just have to get this off my chest. (I love this show. I just marathoned Season 1 and finished the finale tonight. It started off OK, and just (mostly) got better as it went.) However, I will forever know this show as "The show of faces." Let's recap: John Barrowman: 24/7 weird faces. No shock there. Paul Blackthorne: Mister "I have cottonmouth and the lips of a Lamprey." Katie Cassidy: I thought she was cute in the first couple eps but either something happened to the actress or my opinion changed, because whenever she cries (like multiple times every episode) she looks like that one Bad Guy God from Big Trouble in Little China right before his face expanded and blew up. Stephen Amell: Everytime I turn away from anyone, I roll my eyes super hard like they are the biggest disappointment/joke on the planet. Willa Holland: Hey, check out how long I can make the Myspace Duckface! *whew* Thank you, that is all. (now to start Season 2!)

I have to agree on Katie Cassidy. I rewatched the pilot and she was fine. Sometime during the first season, her face changed or her make-up changed and she looks really different, different enough to bother me.

Blackthorne always looks life he smelled something bad. Manu Bennet lets his mouth hang open during some scenes. I think it's how he shows any emotion besides anger.

Arrow thread needs a bump. How about some Stephen Amell doing what he does best. Making people laugh with his charisma.  Amell on "Chelsea Lately." He's gotta be setting some records for positive public interaction. Between running his Facebook page, the Nocking Point Wines page, and all the little things he does outside of work, I really don't want to be here when he finally burns out.
