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.
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.
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)

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
