stars Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen/Green Arrow

premieres Oct 10

will anyone watch?

I'll check it out. I read somewhere Huntress will be in it for an arc. Hopefully is good.

yeah she is.. i think she first airs in the second or third show, but not certain

i also read today that the royal flush gang may make an appearance

Never really cared for the RFG. Huntress on the other hand =)

yeah same.. Huntress is a good character.. DC should have given her, her own series instead of pairing her with power girl..

here's the actress playing Huntress on the show..

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2681284/

Looks young. Cute but not sexy.

i agree but am hoping that'll change once she starts airing

It looks like it could either flop out big time or be quite good. I'm going to watch it just to see which.

Hells yes

The show was really good imo.

I thought it was ok. Not really committing to it yet. I was surprised they actually killed people on this show.

liked what I saw.. It seems Ollie will have Batman type abilities..

next week , China White looks pretty good

Waiting for the show to start in my country, They been showing the ads on tv 'Arrow comic soon'...

first look at Deathstroke

http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/173163-first-look-at-deathstroke-in-arrow

Deathstroke looks great!

Anyway, they show was pretty god but I have a few complaints. I'll admit that I don't know much about Green Arrow, but so far it's very similar to Batman Begins. Hell, both of them even pretend to be playboys. But, I guess there if you're going to emulate a Superhero origin movie it might as well be the best one. Secondly, he needs an eye mask. The paint looks stupid and is even worse at protecting his identity than Supe's glasses. I also thought it kinda funny when his sister whined about her life and how she was on her own.

Anyway, other than those few nitpicks I really enjoyed the show. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

I liked how both Stephen Saunders and Curtis Manning were on the show. I found it a little amusing.

Only awesome people will know what I'm talking about.

As for the story of the pilot, one thing I didn't like was how he got the tech (to steal the money). He only just came back, and although he is very wealthy, doesn't look like he had access to that sort of technology. Maybe it will be revealed from his time on the island how he came to build or acquire something like that so quickly.

And I didn't like that Dinah wasn't a blonde.

But that tennis ball shooting was okay, so I'll let it slide a bit.

Yeah agreed, he shouldn't have had access to that tech arrow.

Unless there is something about the island we don't know yet. Deadshot's mask was on the island as well. So maybe it was an old hideout or something. Maybe GA's father knew more than we are led to believe as well.

Yes, that's what I was thinking. It is likely the 5 years was more than just surviving on the island. They better come back to the mask, otherwise that's just bad writing.

Oh, and that girl dancing in the middle looked nothing like Kristen Stewart, she was much more attractive.

I agree that its very close to Begins, but thats what I liked about it. I really enjoy these more realistic interpretations of superheroes.

I wonder if other superheroes will show up. I hope Black Canary becomes a thing, and it would be cool if Batman showed up and gave him shit about killing people.

Im thinking right now seeing Slade's mask and Deadshot's mask on the island was just them telling the audience that those characters will be appearing on the show..

if done right Dinah should become Black Canary by the season finale unless they wait until next season.. as for Batman being in this.. From I've read so far he won't appear

looking good

I don't even like the green arrow in the comics but this show is legit! Im hooked!

I thought it was gonna be a smallville spin off but it seems to be it's own thing and I'm looking forward to episode 3

this show has been very good so far. i believe they'll keep it up..

if done right Arrow can be on as long as Smallville was

So the girl Oliver likes, but won't date because he wants to protect her, works for the DA.... Never seen this before.

yeah very Batman Begins, which isnt a bad thing.

It's funny watching the series as Oliver's house is my old campus in Victoria. Royal Roads University.

But you know at some point Dinah will find out

full season pick up

http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/173313-arrow-gets-a-full-season-pick-up

Deadshot in action

This series is great for how utterly silly it is. Oliver is just so completely unsubtle about his crime-fighting. He barely bothered lying about that laptop.

Hard to make the connection from someone having a laptop with bullet holes in it to they're a crime fighter.

Everyone still thinks he's a lazy, drunk, playboy.

Its easy when you find floorplans on it to a place that had an assassination attempt the next day. Maybe not specifically crime-fighter, but somethings dodgy there.

I was also talking about the bodyguard, but I get the feeling he was always going to tell him so his unsubtlty is understandable.

good show last night

This show is everything "Smallville," "Heroes," and "The Cape" weren't: Exciting, action packed, and filled with characters I actually care about. Each episode, the dialogue gets better, and the actors feel that much more like the characters.

Deadshot was like a Zsasz hybrid. Wasn't a fan of his attire

Decent episode

the attire was ok for tv.. they weren't gonna have him be dressed like he is in the comics

Oh yeah I didn't expect they would, still wasnt a fan of his TV attire. His eye scope looked pretty chessy.

Guess we won't be seeing him any time in the future...

I don't see why not.

They left it to where he could still be alive, using tv tropes it's pretty obvious he's still alive.

Yeah I bet the big scope saved him, and with Arrow not checking if he was alive or dead we should see him again. He definetly lost his eye, but is it deep enough to reach his brain?

when i saw his eye attire i laughed a little

good show last night..


next week SLADEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Thought this episode was meh. Some of the supporting characters annoy me. Such as IT chick, Oliver's sister, the african-american friend that constantly wants Laurel (how is she Black Canary again?...she did show some martial arts skill but far cry (get it?) from her comic counterpart) to meet someone or go drinking.

Ending was interesting though.

I'm not seeing the meh. I thought it was a damn good episode myself. I'm amazed at how fast the plot is going. 4 episodes in and already he's hauled in for questioning. And on how they're questioning his brutality and killing. I especially really liked the juxtaposition to the flashbacks of him having an emotional time killing the bird versus his seemingly detached manner now. I really love that moral ambiguity in anything.

This is good TV imo.

I missed it . Oh well better luck next week, it's nice to know this is a legitimately good show.

This.

Let me make it official:

Hate List:

1. Oliver's Sister - Stupid Brat
2. Dinah's - "Let's Go Drink/**** it Up" Friend
3. Oliver's Best Friend - Major Beta Orbiter
4. IT Chick - Funny Quirky Character Fail

Oliver's Body Guard is also starting to get annoying. It's like he doesn't realize how far Oliver is above him. Sometimes he acts as if his military experience actually means something. Oliver just needs you to be an errand/support boy, maybe later he'll give you a few "special" assignments to feel important.

And, Dinah should be a blonde.

Half way into the new episode and SLAAAAAAAAAAADE appears

Wow, the episode came out early in Canada or something.

It was gooood. ^_^

Did that person call Deathstroke, Bishop? I wonder if that's Checkmate

wow this show keeps getting better with each ep..


can't wait to see Slade again

Originally posted by -K-M-
I wonder if it's not actually Deathstroke (both eyes), perhaps it's Ravenger (ie. Slade's son) and Ollie kills him after he kills his mentor hence this....

Wild theory I know.

Screen cap I took

http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j165/A_Flight10/stroke.png

I just wish the mask wasn't horrible.

I like it, sure it's putty looking but for some reason I like it.

You like wieners in your mouth.

Nuh uh, you do. I know it as you put my weiner in your mou...errrr...nevermind.

His mask looked stupid.

His heads too big....like Nolan Batmans.

diggles and oliver's relationship has gotten better.. this show is da bomb..
i do wish there would be a villain Oli has faced in the comics where the villain could be on the show periodically

Not a fan of the rendition of the Royal Flush Gang

IT girl still annoys me.

I wonder if Oliver's BFF will actually turn evil as he is supposed to be?

Will laurei turn into Black Canary

Will Oliver's sister become his sidekick ie. Speedy?

Yeah I'm glad they didn't dress up like the comics, but hockey masks? Bah!

What would they wear?

Was better than Deathstroke's mask...terrible.

Not hockey masks.

YOU'RE TERRIBLE!

Sidenote: Did they even say the name Royal Flush Gang in the episode?

no they didn't which i thought was another plus.. i think they just went for people in hockey masks as a nod to the royal flush gang characters

Maybe the son will return and bring back a "real" Royal Flush Gang? They kept saying he wanted to go on his own....or the mom and the other son break him out and go for revenge.

1. Yes. Feels like Clarke and Lex's beginnings in Smallville - started as friends, both like the same whore etc etc.

2. Maybe, doubt it.

3. No.

I know nothing of the comic canon....

But I realised the Speedy remark.....his sister would suck though as a sidekick though.

His best friend is supposed to become a villain?? Why not.

And his main squeeze Black Canary?? She new how to fight in a recent ep though.
The whole show revolves around Dinah 'Laurel' Lance screwing everyone around her. She is the true manipulator of the whole show so it wouldn't surprise me if she ended up going over Green Arrow's head.

This show is The Punisher meets Days of Our Lives...and regardless of its many faults, it's bloody addictive.

This is supposed to be his BFF

Yeah I liked it too. Having her wear just a motorcycle helmet instead of the garb was a wise choice.

I forgot Kelly Hu was in this show as well. She wears too much clothes, I feel cheated.

Yeah, Barrowman is his friend's dad I assume.

He is, they revealed it a few episodes ago.

I think the person Ollie is talking about is none other than our very own King Mungi.

great episode..

Ohhhh.......I thought Deathstroke cut his throat before they dragged him away.

Ahh now that I watch it again he just punched him unconcious...good stuff.

The motion made it seem like he did, but no blood and he was standing on his own while they carried him away. I had to double check to be sure.

All I have to say about the show is...more Deathstroke please.

Guess he gets an arrow to the eye at some point, he seems good at catching arrows

Can't wait to see deathstroke after the Island

An arrow in a mask on a stick means nothing.

Cept the mask was removed and an arrow stuck through it.

I think he survives it and that is how he loses his one eye like how he has just one in the comics.

However, that's definetly a head stuck on a stick. If not DS, then whos? Maybe his son?

i think when they showed the arrow through the mask was simply some sort of red herring.. since manu bennett from the spartacus starz series was hired to replace the first guy i believe slade will show up in the present day

LoL, that is a terrible costume.

Also, wasn't aware Joseph Gordon-Levitt was on it. Odd.

Hmm, seems like a club would have some kind of sprinkler system.

pretty good show last night..

Oh so it's back on air....sweet!

yup

Episode was nothing to right home about.

The only reason I'm watching it now is to find out what happens on the island. If that turns out lame I might abandon this.

Needs alot more action and less Bold and the Beautiful.

i like this show.. right amount of action each week.. also like how the comic book characters are being portrayed..

yea, i think i'll still keep watching but i'll have to admit, the first half of this season was much more interesting.

Big fan of the show, I will buy the first season when it's out...think I may enjoy it more than smallville

You shut your whore mouth.

Love the show but some of the acting isn't the best.

Roy Harper's 1st appearance..

Moira needs to die...

great...simply great

I like how they did Slade Wilson.

yea they've done slade very well

Slade is cool but dat mask

Annoyiny IT girl is annoying but at least she's useful. Glad I finally saw an episode this time.

The mask is spot on

Although Slade stabbed Billy in the eye so...dunno, we gonna get 2 deathstrokes or something, unless Billy is actually dead but I dunno. I am loving Slade though, just dives in, swings his sword and BOOM...let the bodies hit the floor...

I've got a feeling the mask with the arrow thru the eye is actually Billy while Slade will be in Starling City at some point

I'm hoping so but the knife to eye seems kinda like a nod towards deathstroke so it's like they're having a mess around with us

I agree.

I knew that was Roy.

I'm the smartest person alive.

love this show

Man, Oli's date was a total ***** for acting like he's the jerk for not wanting to talk about the island.

That's what I thought.

Idk why he felt like he needed to apologize.

Because that episode was written by a woman.

Sounds about right.

Guess that explains it
