629805, SOOOO...nobody watching ARROW? Posted by OKScholar, Sat Nov-03-12 12:26 PM
I dig the show, they already introduced black canary, merlyn, deadshot, and deathstroke, waiting to see who mr. Diggs turns into..

Never read the comic and had no knowledge of the character at all, but I'm really digging the show so far. Pretty dark they don't mess around kinda dark similar to the new batmans.
|
629853, I am. I dig it. You see their Huntress yet? Posted by CaptNish, Sat Nov-03-12 10:11 PM

I like the show. It's got moments where it's a little two CW for my tastes, but when I'm watching a show where I can hear a line like "...the 10:40 to Bludhaven" my geek ass is totally on board.

629854, I'm digging it Posted by YaBoy...Holla@ME, Sat Nov-03-12 10:11 PM
I like how he's straight up killed a *lot* of people. Kind of necessary with a bow and arrow I suppose, but I'm glad they haven't totally shyed away from it
I also like how his time on the island is being told slowly through flashbacks. I wish they would do this in more comic book movies, especially with newly rebooted properties. It saves the boredom of watching the same, but slightly different, chain of events fall in to place to make the hero become the hero (see the most recent Spiderman movie)

629860, i am didn't know it was a comic Posted by lfresh, Sat Nov-03-12 11:38 PM
makes sense though ~~~~ When you are born, you cry, and the world rejoices. Live so that when you die, you rejoice, and the world cries. ~~~~ You cannot hate people for their own good.

629873, I like it. It's like Smallville with a proactive character. Posted by Melanism, Sun Nov-04-12 01:45 PM
It kinda bugs me how quick to kill he is but I'm okay with it.
|
629980, basiclaly. but yeah arrow is not known to kill so easily. Posted by madwriter, Mon Nov-05-12 11:10 AM
but i like the Diggle character they created. hope they don't relegate him to sidekick status
|
629876, wait they introduced Black Canary? when? Posted by SankofaII, Sun Nov-04-12 03:17 PM
when Laurel lower back cracked dude who owned the night club? (and, she straight laid that ass OUT!)
I like the show, but I'm still curious as to how they make her sonic scream realistic somehow...
and the huntress coming to Arrow? *hells yeah!*
|
629989, I'll wait until the season ends and catch up Posted by DVS, Mon Nov-05-12 12:16 PM
I'm intrigued by the premise tho

|
630004, i missed the Merlyn and Black Canary intros..... Posted by Calico, Mon Nov-05-12 01:08 PM
i saw the Laurel Lane thing, but not Black Canary....
really dig the show tho....
|
630005, That's all there has been. Posted by CaptNish, Mon Nov-05-12 01:15 PM
>i saw the Laurel Lane thing, but not Black Canary....
They just said her full name. And she showed some kung fu styles a week or so after. That's it.
As for Merlyn... it's just his best friend. No reveal other than just the name.
|
630036, a few things i noticed Posted by justin_scott, Mon Nov-05-12 05:12 PM
first off, i'm glad the bodyguard knows who he is. i was hoping thye wouldn't drag that on and on. also, i'm glad they actually kill people with his arrows. it's hard to believe that people wouldn't die. also, CW picked it up for 18 episodes
spoilers
deadshot resides at 1700 broadway, which is dc comics real address.
his bodyguard is named Diggle. andy diggle wrote green arrow year one
judge grell, obviously a shout out to mike grell
ollie's sisters' nickname is speedy, and she has a drug issue.
they also had a father and daughter in Ep. 2 with the last name nocenti. (i assume after ann nocenti)
felicity smoak was the IT employee working for queen industries and helped access the hard drive in the laptop that was shot up. in the comics, smoak is a supporting character of Firestorm.

630127, I geek'd at the Bludhaven reference. Posted by CaptNish, Tue Nov-06-12 11:36 AM

|
630120, I just can't. I'm kinda done w/all things Smallville related. Posted by spades, Tue Nov-06-12 11:20 AM
I AM watching Beauty & Beast, which is surprisingly good.
|
630161, you should. it's really good Posted by justin_scott, Tue Nov-06-12 06:00 PM
all episodes are on CW's website
|
630273, yeah but it's not really Smallville related at all Posted by Calico, Thu Nov-08-12 09:07 AM
truth be told, they shows probably don't exist in the same universe.....
Arrow actually takes strides to NOT be like Smallville too...
|
630309, Arrow is so *NOT* Smallville it's way better Posted by SankofaII, Thu Nov-08-12 02:16 PM
and you probably the *ONLY* person watching Beauty and The Beast.
|
630262, found another easter egg Posted by justin_scott, Wed Nov-07-12 10:38 PM
Episode 5, when Ollie's being booked. His number is 73 1941. References More Fun Comics #73 (his first appearance, which came out in 1941).

630276, Also, Laurel's fishnets comment Posted by CaptNish, Thu Nov-08-12 09:22 AM

|
630301, thanks. i didn't even catch that first time around Posted by justin_scott, Thu Nov-08-12 01:11 PM
cool
|
630939, Kind of a waste of the Royal Flush Gang, but still fun Posted by CaptNish, Thu Nov-15-12 12:09 PM
I really like this show, but I still want more from it.
|
630992, RE: SOOOO...nobody watching ARROW? Posted by OKScholar, Thu Nov-15-12 06:58 PM
yeah people..shits dope. I dont really like how they did deathstrokes face mask though, but everything else is very cool so far
|
631022, Yeah, I didn't like the look at all Posted by CaptNish, Fri Nov-16-12 02:23 AM
Too "bulky Jason" for me.
|
632763, RE: SOOOO...nobody watching ARROW? Posted by OKScholar, Sat Dec-01-12 10:37 AM
ok so so far the got deathstroke, deadshot, merlyn, black canary, huntress, speedy, and all in a not in your face way..this show just keeps getting better
|
632776, and it's crazy that CW has put this together Posted by justin_scott, Sat Dec-01-12 02:44 PM
who would have thought they'd be capable of making a good show. next week's episode looks great too.
|
633422, the huntress is so fine Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Thu Dec-06-12 02:22 AM
average episode. too much shit going on.
|
633510, i cant wait to find out who the "Well Dressed Man" is going to be Posted by justin_scott, Thu Dec-06-12 04:58 PM
Been comfirmed hes a DC character. Glad they didnt keep the Arrow/Huntress romance going. Really enjoying all the subplots.
|
633511, They already did last week. It's Tommy's dad Posted by CaptNish, Thu Dec-06-12 05:05 PM
>Been comfirmed hes a DC character. Glad they didnt keep the >Arrow/Huntress romance going. Really enjoying all the >subplots.
|
633518, NO, he's more than that....POSSIBLE SPOILERS Posted by justin_scott, Thu Dec-06-12 06:58 PM
SPOILERS
it was announced that he will be a known dc character.
it's been rumored that he may be count vertigo, or vandal savage, or maybe even deathstroke.
|
633523, No, I know. That's what I'm saying. Posted by CaptNish, Thu Dec-06-12 07:43 PM
I think they're just retcon'ing Merlyn.
http://blastr.com/assets_c/2012/11/arrowset5-thumb-550x366-106014.jpeg
|
633572, yeah, theyre definitely retconning meryln Posted by justin_scott, Fri Dec-07-12 10:40 AM
Which is fine with me. I like his character. Altho i wonder what will happen with him when his father is exposed.
|
633524, weve already seen deathstroke though Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Thu Dec-06-12 08:35 PM
why wouldnt he just rock the mask also deathstroke looked way more physically imposing.
|
633573, just a possibility, tho a long shot Posted by justin_scott, Fri Dec-07-12 10:41 AM
.
|
633569, RE: NO, he's more than that....POSSIBLE SPOILERS Posted by OKScholar, Fri Dec-07-12 09:44 AM
In the comics Merlyn becomes one of green arrows arch villians, he is also an archer, one version in the comics has it actually be tommy merlyn his best friend, who becomes a patient zero of sorts, in the more established version he does not know oli personally but is still an archer...
|
634244, ^^^ for the midseason finale. Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Wed Dec-12-12 08:20 PM
|
634272, so many archers around Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Thu Dec-13-12 01:33 AM
and they've already casted the guy that's gonna be Roy Harper. some guy from Teen Wolf. whatever.
wonder when Deathstroke will make his way to Starling City?

634347, Called that shit. SELF HIGH FIVE lol Posted by CaptNish, Thu Dec-13-12 01:38 PM

638589, up for the last few GREAT episodes Posted by justin_scott, Fri Jan-25-13 01:58 PM
.
|
638614, last 2 weeks just been aight to me. Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Fri Jan-25-13 03:39 PM
next week & ep 14 are gonna be dope going off the press releases.
|
638623, Agreed. Posted by CaptNish, Fri Jan-25-13 04:22 PM
>next week & ep 14 are gonna be dope going off the press >releases.
I will say, I wish they'd go in on some of these villains though instead of them being just seemingly casual nods to their comic counterparts.
|
638618, It aptly filled the guilty pleasure void left by "Revenge" Posted by SoulHonky, Fri Jan-25-13 03:56 PM
Although, like Revenge, I was in in the beginning but am starting to fall off. They need to get a better recurrent villain or something. The name on the list of the week is OK but it's the same ol' same 'ol. I'm still watching but I'm not sure if I'll continue with season 2 if it continue the slight decline it has been on.
|
641180, mostly island episode....EPIC Posted by justin_scott, Thu Feb-14-13 03:43 PM
and i'm glad felicity is now in on the secret.
|
641207, Yeah, she's pretty awesome. Posted by CaptNish, Thu Feb-14-13 05:15 PM
I hope they wrap up the booklist this season so that they can take the summer off and come back fully operational with an Arrow team. Even if they don't wrap up Tommy's dad.... I just like these episodes that have him more invested other than just a name in the book.
|
641250, great ep. Posted by andacagar, Fri Feb-15-13 08:40 AM
So he learned alot from Slade. Sorry I was never into the comics but I do know how deadly Slade is.
|
641249, never thought Green Arrow was worthy of his own show BUT Posted by andacagar, Fri Feb-15-13 08:38 AM
Wb did their thing with this. the story is ill, the casting was great and the director is filming this like a movie, i mean the visuals are sick not cheesy like smallville.
|
641682, long bow hunters is CLASSIC Posted by justin_scott, Wed Feb-20-13 08:54 PM
.
|
641752, i'll give it another try Posted by lfresh, Thu Feb-21-13 10:14 AM
maybe i need a straight watch through i gave up/lost interest after episode 5 say
the main character just seemed so whiny ~~~~ When you are born, you cry, and the world rejoices. Live so that when you die, you rejoice, and the world cries. ~~~~ You cannot hate people for their own good.
|
650593, Incredible finale Posted by The DC Sniper, Sat May-18-13 06:51 PM
So this is the best superhero show ever, right? Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. can only hope to be half as good as this
|
650601, eh i just thought it was aight Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Sat May-18-13 10:13 PM
loved the island stuff (as usual) roy/thea scenes were shit (as usual) barrowman (merlyn) was acting his ass off. i liked how tommy's story came full circle w/ ollie & laurel i wish laurel's dumbass died (forget about saving myself, i gotta save DEEZ FILES. dumb bitch.)
excited to see Moira's trial next season. and what will make Ollie pick back up the vigilante stuff.
|
650602, I loved it. Posted by CaptNish, Sat May-18-13 10:53 PM
>loved the island stuff (as usual)
This is the one aspect of the show I just don't care about. Mostly because they don't give it enough time per episode to develop it. They need next season to do island episodes that have more content than the ones in the present timeline.
>roy/thea scenes were shit (as usual)
I hate the Thea character, but I think the way they're handling Roy is pretty great.
>barrowman (merlyn) was acting his ass off.
Dude.... he was going hard all episode. Amazing work. Gonna miss him being around.
>i liked how tommy's story came full circle w/ ollie & laurel
Right? And Stephen Amell was acting his ass off in that death scene.
