I watched the the first two episodes of Arrow. I HIGHLY approve. High production value, killer action, dark with a ton of angst. It is not overly cheesy, it's more like Batman Begins in theme/tone. If they keep the melodrama to the low levels thus far, I'll be quite happy to sit along for the ride.

Not to mention the added bonus that John Barrowman will be in eppy five. Not sure if it's reoccurring.

I loved the first ep but fell asleep mid way through the second. :(
But I'll be tuning in next week anyway, seems worth sticking to it.

lol. I'm going to guess that you falling asleep had nothing to do with what was on and the fact you were tired? :-P

I'll be time shifting Arrow and SPN to Fridays since I don't get the CW anymore. It works for me. I hope you get a chance at a re-watch. Lots of subtle stuff in there.

I was pretty tired and I think I need a new television, everything is so dark it's sometimes hard to follow the action. I'll probably pull it up online sometime before next Wednesday if I can find it. :)

It's like that on my tv as well and another friend said the same about it on theirs. I think it's the show or how CW airs their action-y shows. (then again, Last Resort on ABC is also dark, so idk)

You maybe right about the darkness. I'm lucky in that I download the eppy and play it back on my HD tv which probably adds more clarity to the picture.

I just got done watching the 2nd ep. Not loving it yet but its definitely much better than I was anticipating (I guess I was expecting another Smallville), and I'll be sticking with it for now. I too thought the production values were good, the action scenes are very well done thus far which is a rare thing on TV these days.

I'm soooo glad it's not another Smallville to be honest. That show hit so many do not like buttons. But to be fair, Superman has never been a fav, because he's super human! lol

If they can keep the cheese and soap opera stuff to minimum levels I might really like Arrow. At this point, I'm along for the ride.

I DL it also. They are dark on live TV and it can be difficult to watch. For whatever reason, the DL episodes aren't like that.

Yay!!! I love Arrow. I felt like the pilot moved a bit too fast, like it was rushing to get everything covered in so little time. But it was still great. I'm sticking with it for the time being! :D

I really hope the bodyguard continues to put the pieces together, because I think Oliver needs at least one ally. And I really liked their chemistry together.

I love his body guard. I agree, I really hope that he becomes a trusted ally for Oliver. :D

Yes! I like him a lot.

"....I'll be quite happy to sit along for the ride."


((((((HIGH FIVES))))) you
I also wonder at some point if he will take Diggle, the body guard, who I really like, in confidence.......
Would be very nice
He is already suspecting Queen is not all playboy.....

I really hope Diggle does find out, Oliver will need some help every once in a while me thinks.

It is my belief he already does........
There have been only two episodes but seems that he is getting deeper
and deeper into it.......and I believe he can trust
Diggle.......whereas just not so sure about anyone else.

I haven't heard of that series yet. I need to look it up right away!

It's on the same network as Supernatural.

Hehe, glad to see you loved it. I can't wait to see how this season develops. :)

I have decent hope for it.

I've been meaning to check that show out! I saw it advertized a few weeks ago and thought it looked kind of interesting. Now I'll have to watch at least the first few eps for sure!!

It's pretty good thus far and the angst factor is up there. I'm going to encourage you to watch it because I know you plan on watching POI via the S1 boxset soon.

*cough*

:-p

So far I'm liking it, it's got potential.

Yay, someone else who is keeping up with Arrow! :)

I don't think it's perfect or overly deep or anything, but I do believe it has as much potential as Smallville, but much darker (which I like), and I've enjoyed it so far. Of all the new shows I tried this season, it's the only one I decided to keep up with. It's on a perfect time in the week that makes it easy to do so.

Looking forward to Barrowman's guest turn too!

I'll be curious about the quality for the rest of the season. It just got a full season pick-up, so I'm am generally enthused.

The TV gremlins stole channel 11 PIX from us and I can't see any shows on the CW anymore. Em sad, I wanted to watch that.

We don't get the CW either. Hubby and I download both SPN and Arrow from the piratebay and watch them on Friday.

I thought they shut them down?

The piratebay's servers are on a tiny island in international waters for the express purpose of never being shut down. They go offline from time to time for maintenance, but they're safe.
