Comics chat that is 100% allowed in this thread includes the Arrow Season 2.5 comic that's written by the show's co-creator Marc Guggenheim. It's pretty cool. Right now it's dealing with Brother Blood II who is the first's bodyguard. It also introduces Lodai who is the guy that Oliver has been paying to make all his gadgets and his suit. He's the one that's making Roy's costume too. Seems like someone they may eventually introduce in the show as well. He's all scarred up though and his face looks kind of melted so if they do it'll be a heck of a make-up job. It's a fun read and I recommend grabbing it if you're interested.

Finances in film and television series drives me loving crazy. Like no one seems to fundamentally understand how just like a company works. Like at all.

It's a corporation, if a corporation goes bankrupt, that does not mean you go bankrupt that's why it's a corporation to protect people's finances.

Like seriously it's just dumb and drives me crazy. Yes, you would lose money if say you owned 100 percent of a companies stock, and you had no money in the bank whatsoever ,but seriously that's not how companies work.


Ugh it drives me crazy.

It's a TV show. It's not a big deal.

The arrows hit Sara just slow enough that I had time to think "Well that's a good way to have her miss a chunk of episodes this sea- Oh, okay"


Also the killer is in the drat next episode preview, stop acting like you're making a prediction.

I kind of doubt they're going to wrap that mystery up in one episode, but this is Arrow. I'm pretty sure the villain next week is just a red herring.

Nobody knows why Sara died yet, who killed her, or what it's going to spur other character to do or don't do. Shut up about this dumb fridging crap.

There's not going to be any Lazarus Pits. The producers of the show already said the show is going to be more grounded this season than it was last because they now have Flash to play with all the superpower stuff in. The only time you'll probably be getting anything superpowery is during the crossover.

I got to episode 9 the first time I tried to watch the show, then lost interest after that. When I tried to pick it up much later the next episode was a terrible one about an evil firefighter or something so it was a long time after that before I bothered trying to watch it again, starting at season 2 this time. That lasted 2 or 3 eps I think. Now I am attempting to start again after watching the season 3 premiere. Well that's my story, thank you for your time.

If you only got two or three episodes into season two then don't bother trying again. The show's just not for you.

Flash is actually a much bigger name than Green Arrow so it's not surprising at all. Flash has at least some mainstream appeal and recognition. Green Arrow not so much. And yeah it's early, Flash's number will probably trail off a bit but my guess is that it'll still be higher rated than Arrow even then.

I may have said this before but I actually find Thea to be one of the better characters in the show. She stands her ground always and makes zero apologies for who she is or what she believes in. I'm interested to see where they're taking this whole plot line with her. Anyone have any idea who they could be making her into? I've never read any Arrow comics or otherwise experienced Ollie outside of Smallville.

Well she calls herself Mia in this episode. I'd recommend Googling DC and Mia if you want to know more. Although clearly there will be major differences.
