Arrow

[Beck]

Caught the first ep last night and enjoyed, anyone else watched it?

It is based off of the DC Comic's Green Arrow.

It's been on since Aug/Sep so i think we are up to episode 19 or something.... Decent characters. Good stories. Hot guy. Worth watching all round.

[Beck]

I had downloaded the first few episodes but hadn't gotten around to watching yet. I enjoyed it though, will keep watching.

[Beck]

I just finished season 1 and wow. Fantastic ending to a fantastic season.
I love so many things about this show, the characters, the stories, the flashbacks. The acting could improve but meh, that happens in a lot of series first seasons. I love how they address a lot of things most superhero shows/movies gloss over - like Green Arrow appearing at the same time as Oliver gets back, people recognising his voice and keeping to shadows, people finding out not necessarily being ok with it, and the cops both liking and hating him.

I started watching it then missed too many eps in between. Probably need to catch up with it over the summer hiatus since I won't have anything to watch.

From what I saw, I really enjoyed it. Was a bit skeptical since not many superhero shows are done right so I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed it.

[Beck]

Loved the season premiere. I wish one of you watched it too

[Nico]

We started watching this last night. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to watch the rest!

[Beck]

It is a great show, season 2 is shaping up to be even better

[Nico]

I think Felicity is great. I am really enjoying this show, every episode gets better to. I like that season 2 started with everything flipped on its head.

[Beck]

Are you all caught up Nico?

[Nico]

Yep! I couldn't stop watching. Season two has been super exciting already and I LOVE the dynamic between Digs, Felicity and Arrow.

It was clear from the mention of the pet Canary that Sarah was alive and was the black Canary although I always suspected she was since we didn't see a body.

One of the best things about Arrow is during season one he had no issue with killing the bad guys if he had to. Season 2 he is trying to NOT kill them, I also like his tense relationship with Detective Lance.

I am interested in how they will incorporate other superheroes into the show who have more unnatural superpowers.

I must admit that I prefer Felicity & Oliver over Oliver and Laurel but maybe thats just me

[Beck]

So far they haven't gone with any unnatural abilities, I'm not sure if they will or not. Everyone so far is either really smart (Brother Blood for example) or really well trained and skilled (League of Assasins etc). Even the Canary's scream was explained with a device rather than her actual voice (like it is in the comics). I knew Sarah was Black Canary because Laurel wasn't and in the comics Laurel Lance is Black Canary. So it had to be Sarah. I wish she'd stuck around longer, but I think we will see her again.

I love Felicity, Diggle and Ollie too. I think they work well together. But I don't get how Lance hasnt worked out who Arrow is, he knows Felicity knows him and works for Oliver now... plus Arrow disappears when Oliver does I guess seeing Diggle as Arrow while Oliver was around really paid off in season 1. That is one of the things I love about this show too, they do things like that. In Batman no one really notices Bruce Wayne is never around him

The only character I don't like is Laurel. I don't care for her at all and I don't get why Ollie loves her so much. I miss Tommy too.

Can't wait to find out what other secrets Moira is hiding.

Also - yay for finally having someone to discuss Arrow with!

[Nico]

Ohh, really? I have never read the comics. I only know some of the characters from other shows/movies so I am not even 100% sure how much I know about them. I did know that Black Canary's scream was changed to be a device which makes sense because I am not sure the two worlds would collide well. I agree, hope we see more of her.

The three things he has in common with arrow :Felicity :Laurel :Sarah . The three things in common with Oliver :Felicity :Laurel :Sarah

I am glad you aren't a fan of Laurel I don't like her much either. I am sad they killed off Tommy, I wasn't expecting it at all.

I can't believe I skipped over this show at the beginning. I like Oliver's relationship with his sister to . The acting is great, I heard they are already working on season 3 storylines

[Beck]

I haven't read them either, but I know some stuff about them

The acting in Season 1 was a bit shoddy at times but I love the storylines and characters so much I was easily able to overlook that.

Laurel just isn't likeable. I don't hate her, but I couldn't give two hoots about her either. I do however like her dad. I cared more about Sarah in two episodes than about Laurel in an entire season!

Thea is great, I like her too. Roy annoys me a bit too but I'll get used to him. Also he might only annoy me because his character on Teen Wolf annoyed me

[Beck]

Poor Felicity.

[Nico]

Felicity had it rough that episode . I really enjoyed that Oliver wouldn't take no for an answer when Diggs told him not to go to Russia with him. Also enjoyed no Laurel !

[Beck]

It is much better when Laurel isn't around

[Nico]

Nobody seemed to mind either.

I must admit, although I love the show I laughed when Diggle done a Bing search on his phone for H.I.V.E almost as much as the product placement for windows 8 on every laptop

[Beck]

The Flash this week!

[Nico]

I enjoyed this episode. I thought they did a great job at showing Oliver's jealousy over Felicity & Alan but at the same time they had him get over it and invite Alan to the party.

I don't know why Oliver was surprised nobody came to the party he threw though, he said himself that his mother shouldn't have got a not guilty verdict, it made no sense.
