Arrow (CW Show)

3 days until the Pilot premiers of the new CW show, "Arrow". I'm really excited about this one, I love the Oliver Queen storyline and I like the look they're going with for this show.

Looks like it's gonna be sick.

    Did anyone catch the premier? Really digging the look, has a lot of potential. I think this is a good take on Green Arrow.

    I hope I'm not the only one watching this show, haha. This show has been my favorite of this entire year outside of the Sunday Dexter/Dead combo.

    Re: Arrow (CW Show)

    Hows that convo with yourself going dude? HAHAHA! I'm here man!

    I love this show and assumed there wasn't a thread for it so almost started one. I watched the first half of the season last year and just bought the blu-ray and started catching up a couple days ago. It is getting really good and a bit darker and I am loving that. I'm up to the episode where the parents of the lttle boy are killed/where Dig wants to take Deadshot down and Oliver doesn't show. It looks like I have 3 more episodes which I'm hoping I can bang out tonight.

    Do you read a lot of comics? I LOVE superhero movies/shows but have never really read the comics. I've tried but I don't even know where to begin really. I've read a hand full of Batman graphic novels like Long Halloween, Dark Knight Returns etc. Is Arrow close to the source material or is there a lot of liberties taken? I looked up some info on Wiki and saw that one of his enemies is Count Vertigo. Knowing that now I think their take on that was pretty creative by naming the character The Count and he creates the drug Vertigo. Given my "research" I also know that Roy Harper will become Red Arrow which i can tell they're setting that up nicely. Especially since he's usually always wearing a red sweatshirt.

    I already heard The Flash is making an appearance in Season 2 which I'm looking forward to. Well, probably Barry Allen not actually The Flash would be my guess (possible TV series I hear). Word is that they MAY interweave the TV series into the Justice League movies....

    i could sit here all day and talk about this stuff hahaha.

    Arrow is very close to the comics. This Arrow is more accurate than the Justin Hartley version in Smallville.

    I'm really interested to see how they do Season 2. They originally wanted no powers in the show, but with Flash coming in anything could happen!

    Welcome to the convo, haha, nice to have company!

    I liked how Laurel's mother said that she was heading back to Central City and that she should be there in a "flash". Well played Ms. Lance, well played.

    Dammit! I still have 3 episodes to go! Hoping to finish them tonight.

    Two weeks from tonight we get the second season! It's going to be tough to go back to watching each episode week to week. Glad to see there are at least 3 of us.

    Hopefully by tonight it won't be an issue anymore. Ah well...I would have found out anyway. I don't get too mad if I find something out before seeing it. Going to see it happen eventually right? HAHA! Though I WAS pissed when I thought Letterman gave away the ending to The Dark Knight Rises.

    Is this on Wednesdays? I watched the first season on my computer (illegally) over the summer because I'm a huge DC nerd. I thought it was well-done, pretty good production quality considering they probably didn't get a very high budget. The acting is a little spotty at times, but hey it's the CW so what do you really expect. I love seeing the heroes I grew up with come to life, though, and Arrow does a great job of sticking to the comics. I'm anxious to see what else happened on the island with Deathstroke.

    If they do any Superman crossover I hope they handle it well.

    He's kind of just an overall villain/anti-hero in the DC Universe. I'm pretty sure he began as a Teen Titans villain but I could definitely be wrong.

    Re: Arrow (CW Show)

    Just finished Season 1 last night...wow. When I first started watching this show last year I never thought it would get as good as it did. As the season got closer to the end it just got darker and more intense. That fight between Oliver and Merlyn was badass. This show really has pretty decent movie quality effects and stunts. I can't wait until Season 2 sartsnext week. Going to be a struggle to have to wait a week in between each episode though haha.

    So I do have one issue with the show, and it really doesn't even bother me that much. Clearly Oliver Queen/Green Arrow is pretty much a knock off of Bruce Wayne/Batman. Having never read the comics I did a little research on the character and he was pretty much modeled after him. That said, did anyone else think there was a very strong resemblance to Batman Begins? Just the idea that Merlyn was using a high powered instrument to start a massive earthquake and destroy the Glades is the exact same idea as Ras Al Ghul using a high powered instrument to destroy the Narrows and bring balance back to Gotham. There are many other similarities, but this one struck me as very much the same. Didn't really bother me, but I just thought that was interesting.

    Very cool way to end the season and I can't wait to see what this season brings.

    Is it even remotely possible they could have found a worse actor to play The Count??? That guy is absolutely abismal.

    Very psyched for the Flash.

    I just can't believe how BAD Count was. How the director couldn't see how awful an actor is beyond me. That voice he did was so ridiculous. He was like a shitty middle school actor in a school play. I actually stopped watching last season for awhile because I couldn't get past his first episode. He was an absolute joke. If you can't tell I strongly disliked that actor hahaha.

    The episode in Russia was awesome. I love this show. Only two characters I don't like are Thea and Laurel. I would LOVE to see them kill Laurel off. She's so worthless and Thea is annoying as they come.

    They're definitely hinting the whole Felicity/Oliver connection hard the past 2 epidodes. I would do anything for Emily Bett Rickards. She has become my new dream girl. I can't get enough of that girl. Don't tell my fiance

    i've been thinking about watching season 1 of this show on Netflix. i was kind of turned off by the Abercrombie look i saw in the promos a year ago, but it sounds like they're doing some cool things? worth getting into?

    Let's get Nightwing up in this bitch.

    Enjoy this show very much. If you think this show is good you should be reading the Jeff Lemire/Andrea Sorrentino run on Green Arrow. It's fantastic!

    Saw someone mention Deathstroke. He's not a villain/anti hero tied to just Batman. He's had plenty of battles with a lot of the DCU.

    The choice for Count Vertigo (and the fact that he was killed off, maybe) was a terrible decision. Count Vertigo is one of Green Arrows best enemies.
