Basically the first Deadshot episode is where the show finally finds its stride, partially because it shows just how comicbook Arrow is willing to go and partially because Ollie's supporting cast starts becoming solid.

That's the first appearance of Felicity, isn't it? If so, then yeah, that's where the show starts coming together, by realising that Oliver needs connections as the Arrow/Hood, to question why he's doing what he does.

I love that this week's episode of Arrow, EVERYONE had their shirts off. All the time. Even Felicity got her shirt off for a bit. Abs everywhere.

I think a lot of people were turned off by the advertising for the show and probably even the first episode. I practically had to make a presentation to get my friend to watch it because he had seen parts of the pilot and most of the ads and was convinced the show was absolute trash. Now he genuinely likes the show and binged all the way to catching up. I was basically the same way.

The best excuse was when he wanted to get her to analyze Vertigo. It was something about an energy drink that a buddy was trying to get him to invest in or something like that.

I just do not want to watch a superhero show about people in t-shirts vaguely doing CGI at each other while mostly dealing with bad drama.

I just do not want to watch a superhero show about people in t-shirts vaguely doing CGI at each other while mostly dealing with bad drama. I was convinced, and have posts in this thread, that I had watched half of the first season. Turns out it was only two episodes, but it had enough of CW teen drama/ rich folk problems BS that it turned me off. It has only been the repeated posts in here praising it and being sick for two days that pushed me to give it another shot. EDIT: Forgot to say that seeing just how ethusiastically Arrow embraces its comic origins is why I now understand the disappointment in SHIELD. It's a solid Whedon show, and I still enjoy it, but seing how balls out Arrow goes makes me wish it was more. Soonmot fucked around with this message at 00:27 on Mar 4, 2014 |

The thing with Arrow is that even if you don't like the current storyline the way they power through everything at such a fast pace just give it an episode, maybe two, and they'll have moved onto something even better.

WarLocke posted:I don't think so. Flash doesn't actually burn more calories moving fast because he's not actually moving fast; the Speed Force is doing all the work. Or something similar. ToastyPotato posted:Seeing as Flash's recent TV cartoon appearances have had him eating a lot (as Wally West at least) I would imagine that they do end up going with that for the show, even if it isn't comic accurate, mostly because it is a visual gag they are going to want to pull and gives him a "quirk" they can play with.

Hey, Agents of SHIELD will finish introducing their first storyline any episode now and then you'll see! These last five and a half months of intro will finally pay off!!

I expect nothing to be answered, the series to be cancelled after 3 or 4 seasons and then there be a one line comment from a producer in a post show interview explaining that "it was magic, we just never got around to explaining it".  Also as more casting news for Gotham happens it becomes more and more likely that we have the new Smallville with young Bruce Wayne and young Selina Kyle being cast.

There was an episode in season 1 where Diggle dressed up as Arrow and did some cool stuff so I called him DigArrow. I really wished DigArrow would appear again.

Yes, Oliver has called Thea "Speedy" multiple times, although they did kind of mostly drop it after the first season added Roy. Although I think he called her it again either last week or the one before that.
