CW Green Arrow series, "Arrow"

[bicoid18]

Looks like I wasn't the only one noticing Felicity's short skirts.

Spoiler

I really enjoyed the Diggle-centric, Escape Plan-ish episode along with Waller and Argus. Hope to see more of Deadshot in the future. I can't wait to see H.I.V.E. involved, hopefully with Slade in the future. Plus more seeds for Flash's debut being teased!

Another solid episode.

Not how I expected the Deadshot confrontation to go down

Spoiler

but I guess it's good that they're keeping that plotline going. Isn't Deadshot supposed to have a deathwish though? I guess this version doesn't. To be fair, Joker has probably made that villain trait played out, but it could've been more interesting than having him barter for his life.

But man, why are they

Spoiler

bringing The Count back next week? I liked the actor on Fringe but he's by far the cheesiest character on this show and I thought they'd wised up to that and written him off.

Still, another great episode, really enjoyed the change of scenery this week.

I was expecting

Spoiler

Diggle's ex-wife to betray him and extract Deadshot for Waller's Suicide Squad. I was a little let down when he just let Deadshot walk away. I mean, he did pull the trigger.

As for

Spoiler

Vertigo, hopefully they can make him a credible threat next episode. He was part of the Suicide Squad and does have somewhat of a history with Deadshot, but I doubt that will be adapted over.

Yet another fantastic episode tonight, but I too cringed when I saw the preview for next week.

 

[Mister Ski]

Ha, ha. Count me in (pun intended) among those who aren't too happy to see the Count back next week. Silly, cheesy character.

Yeah, the flashbacks are great, but I want Slade to pop up in the present.

Another interesting choice for a DC character coming in.

Spoiler

Nightwing!

Not content with Black Canary, Arsenal, the Huntress, Deathstroke, Deadshot, Bronze Tiger, China White, Doctor Ivo, or upcoming characters like The Flash and Amanda Waller, Arrow has just added Batman's protégé Nightwing to its ever-increasing cast, to be played by Steve McQueen of The Vampire Diaries fame.

Apparently McQueen is pretty excited about the role, as he tweeted this pic of himself getting ready for the show.

Here's the million dollar question: If the rumors about Man of Steel 2 adding in members of the extended Bat-family are true, could Nightwing be the character that ties the DC movie-verse and the DC TV-verse together? Could McQueen be playing Nightwing in both? Or will DC/WB keep a firm line between church (TV) and state (movies), either by keeping them separate or hiring another Nightwing for the movie? Hmm...

 

[Frank]

If they keep this up, they'll need to base the JL movie off the series!

Spoiler

Nightwing!

Keeps on getting bigger and better

Now the true question is will WB/DC merge the universes together? I really don't see it but the amount of name drops and dc mythos that is being presented might make it it happen!

[meanstreak]

Awesome that Nightwing is coming in. I rather they keep the TV and Film as one shared universe. Does that mean I want to see this Nightwing and the kid Flash in the movies? No... They should focus on Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, etc. for film and not add any more major characters (like the Flash) to TV.

 

[EVILFACE]

Just watched the first 5 episodes, decent show. Deadshot went out to easy though.....

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Keep watching. It's only going to get better.

 

[Niltusk]

Disturbing, but the morning show hosts of our local 98.5 were talking about who they'd go gay for and one of thembrought Stephen Amell up. One of the guys said, "hes cute enough, but if I were into guys I don't think I'd be able to handle a naked dude with all those scars."

There was a few seconds of silence before they all started laughing and making fun of that host, apparently he thought they made up the torture backstory as an excuse to cover for Amell's scars.

THIS

I cruised many of season 1's episodes just for the island storyline which kept me going. I also think they had some weaker writers for a few episodes, I love the show, but I'll be honest, at one point there were a couple episodes where the tween drama was so high I would have given up if the show had kept that **** up. Luckily, the great episodes far outweigh them in season 1 and season 2 has just been pure bad *** ed ness.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Yeah. There were a few teen drama episodes in S1 that kinda turned me off, but the show instantly got back on track.

Season 2 so far has been flawless in my opinion.

Love how progressive the show is. They've covered so much ground already, but it doesn't feel rushed or forced at all.

So much for the Flash debut on Arrow.

The Flash TV show must be looking good, because The CW just decreed that the scarlet speedster will get a stand-alone pilot, and not the "back-door pilot" he was previously given. This means that the Flash pilot will be presented as the first episode of The Flash TV show, instead of getting tucked in as Arrow's 20th episode.

Barry Allen will still be making his first appearance in Arrow episodes 8 and 9 before donning his iconic costume in his pilot. According to Deadline, The CW execs were so impressed with the character in those episodes they made the call to move his first appearance as a superhero from a late-in-the-season Arrow episode to his own official debut. Not only is this a major vote of confidence in the show, but pilots get much bigger budgets than regular episodes — which the "back-door pilot" would have obviously been one of — so this is very good news all-around.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

That sounds promising, Flash deserves his own series. If they want someone to make cameo appearances on Arrow, bring in GL, his movie career is dead as a doornail.

 

[meanstreak]

He's finally getting a mask...

 

[grphyx1]

Thank goodness, cause that mole on his face was going to leak his secret identity. Mask looks great
