So - is anyone geared up for the new season of Arrow?

I've enjoyed the first season. Though I had the last 6 episodes sitting on my DVR and haven't been able to get to them this summer. I have the last 2 episodes still to watch before the new season starts.

I think it's been a pretty enjoyable show. Is anyone else watching?


message 2: by Dwayne (new)

Dwayne Keller Yes, I've watched each show the week it was on and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to what happens in the 2nd season and who all will appear. I've heard that Barry Allen is to be a guest.

Steven Morton | 181 comments I enjoyed it alot; definitely watching it this season and it is true Barry will appear on Arrow for three episodes which will lead into a spin off for the Flash.

I had heard he would make an appearance - but never heard anything about spinoff. Cool!

Dwayne Keller I heard a spinoff was possible; hadn't heard it was for sure.

I go to a comic site called Newsarama which is really good about up to date comic book related news. Below is the link to the article about the Flash spinoff, enjoy :)

Hey no problem, I have to admit I am a comic book addict so I jumped on board with the new 52 right away (though I miss the old DCU). My favorite books so far from the new 52 Flash, Batman, Justice League and Earth 2.

Justice League, Vol. 1: Origin
Batman and Robin, Vol. 1: Born to Kill
The Savage Hawkman, Vol. 1: Darkness Rising
Blackhawks, Vol. 1: The Great Leap..."


I forgot to mention Batman and Robin; loved it pre-52 and post 52. I love Green Lantern pre and post 52 but cannot get into any of the other GL books now.

The good thing Natalie not sure how many episodes that Summer is going to show up in since there is really no need for both CEOs to be there on a regular basis. I just hope the writers do not have her and Ollie develop a relationship; I just do not see any chemistry between Amell and Glau but it is still early.

I feel the same way about Felcity but I don't think the writers will have him fall for her since she is a supporting character and Laurel is the main female character in this show. I agree with you also about Laurel eventually becoming Black Canary; except the current BC is maybe a missing sister and somehow she dies off and is able to pass on her powers (amazing agility and the Canary Cry.) to Laurel since they are related. I know it sounds crazy but you never know.

Good grief - I didn't realize that was Summer Glau!

He interacts best with Felicity, but does anyone else get tired of every single woman in a TV show or movie looking like a model?

"Oh - just put her hair in a pony tail and give her glasses, and Voila! IT nerd!"

I know that actresses are attractive and these women are all actresses, but good grief. All doctors, lawyers, IT nerds, and rocket scientists I know don't all fit that mold.

That being said, I do think the actress that plays Felicity does a great job, and she does have good chemistry with Ollie.

I think I even enjoy the show more than I did last season. I like the direction with "no more killing" - it was good to see a struggle with conscious and come to that conclusion. I think it makes the character more interesting and gives him more depth.

So - I've been out with the stomach virus, and caught up on all my Arrow watching! It's still keeping my interest - especially bringing in more and more of the DC Universe.

Next episode: (view spoiler)


message 14: by Monti (new)

Monti | 15 comments Looking forward to this week. I'm pretty sure Arrow returns, yes?

Frick Weber (MikeWeber) | 5 comments Anyone know when the first spin off show starts!?!?!!? (don't want to be a spoiler . . . but if you watched the mid-seaon finale you know what I'm talking about!?!?!?!)

Cole (fishyboy) | 2 comments I have heard great things about this show, but I have just not had any time to watch it! How close is the show to the actual story of Green Arrow?

It's a bit different for now.. The tone has been really dark and no one calls him Green Arrow for now,he doesn't make corny jokes and stuff.. It'll start getting more towards the comics from Season 4

Is anyone else still watching this?

I'm enjoying it. (Still could do without the Amanda Waller backstory shoe-horned in.) But I like the new Speedy :)

But did anyone catch the Green Lantern Easter Egg in the last episode????
