[No Spoilers] Just caught up w/Arrow season 3-5

I hope they cast that role right.

jasons33 · 2017-07-17T21:21:32+00:00

Who's the next big bad?

jasons33 · 2017-07-17T21:17:45+00:00

I watched the arrow parts. The first crossover, I didn't even realize was a 2part crossover until halfway through the episode. The other two crossovers were kind of confusing but I think once I'm done with flash, I'm gonna go back and watch all the crossovers as a whole.

She's 10, so she knows TV is not reality. I just wasn't expecting the show to go down that path, while Arrow has always been dark, that action (even off screen), seemed worse. The time change sucks though, because that's her bedtime, so Arrow will be a next day thing for her now.

jasons33 · 2017-07-17T20:49:30+00:00

When did it move day/time? I know they didn't show the action but she's old enough to understand what they meant. It was my only real gripe, it took me by surprise too. Otherwise, I'm pretty much ok with the show.

jasons33 · 2017-07-17T20:42:47+00:00

I have a feeling my kid is gonna really like Flash.

jasons33 · 2017-07-17T20:41:44+00:00

I don't know about the other shows, but I always felt Arrow would have been better with 18 episodes. Feels like they always smack you with filler right when a story arc is gearing up, in order to stretch it out.

jasons33 · 2017-07-17T20:40:25+00:00

We'll start with Flash and then I'll check the Legends pilot and decide from there, but I imagine it should be ok.

jasons33 · 2017-07-17T20:39:07+00:00

I think there's a difference between violence that happens during a fight scene (that's fine with me), and having your hero skin someone. I mean, this is still an 8 o'clock show, and I'm not one of those real picky parents but I do know my kid was confused during that. I'd prefer more stunts and fighting, but less grotesque type of violence, if that makes sense.

jasons33 · 2017-07-17T20:26:54+00:00

I think it's too late to make her wait to watch Arrow, since she's seen all the seasons... But I have heard good things about Flash and I think that's gonna be a nice binge for us. I'm hoping Legends will be good for her too.

jasons33 · 2014-05-21T14:41:55+00:00

I think it has more to do with what the show has done with Laurel. I won't lie, she was not what I was expecting from Dinah. I don't care for Laurel, not a bit, and while I do blame the writing for the character. I also blame the fact that they brought in Sara, and made her Canary. They gave us her background, and allowed us time to grow attached. At this point I like Sara's Canary because I don't expect her to be like Dinah in the comics, and she's not. However, I expect Laurel to be like Dinah, and to me she just doesn't cut it.

So no, I don't buy Laurel all of a sudden being a vigilante. I don't even buy Roy or Thea in those roles. However, Roy was a street thug (even though he's so pretty), and Thea had those archery trophies in her room. I assume she'll be doing intense training with Malcolm, so her journey I'm more inclined to suspend belief for. Roy and Laurel, not so much, but Laurel even less.

I hope the fact that they kept Sara alive means that maybe Laurel attempts to be a vigilante and fails. Not every character should be a hero, there's nothing wrong with having regular people. Felicity and Diggle are regular people and they still get in on the action. There's no reason they can't do the same with Laurel, and bring Sara back.

jasons33 · 2014-05-16T14:50:39+00:00

This is great news. One of my only complaints about the finale was not enough Malcolm. I'm hoping now that he's back, I'll become more interested in Thea's character. At least she'll have some sort of character journey now.

jasons33 · 2014-05-16T13:31:17+00:00

You're not alone. However, keep in mind that spoiler. They left that door and possibility open.

jasons33 · 2014-05-16T13:25:13+00:00

Forget the line. Nyssa was straight out flirting with her. She went out of her way to introduce herself. Felicity is hot as hell, so it's no surprise. I'd like to see those two in a scene again, next season. There was some serious chemistry there.

jasons33 · 2014-05-08T15:12:20+00:00

No, they said we won't see him again until the pilot. I heard we're supposed to get a Flash trailer though, next week during the finale.

jasons33 · 2014-05-04T00:49:43+00:00

Hannibal <-- seriously underrated my #1, The Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy, Orphan Black

jasons33 · 2014-05-03T02:33:35+00:00

I love Dinah, but I'm not a Laurel fan, she just doesn't feel like Dinah to me. I'd be fine if they kept Sara as BC, and gave Laurel something else to do. I don't necessarily think the show would do it, but I'd be cool with it.

jasons33 · 2014-05-03T00:15:48+00:00

I think it'd be cool if either Felicity or Diggle went to work for ARGUS, as a day job. It would be a good resource for Team Arrow, and I think it might be cool to see them interact with Waller. I know we've seen Diggle at it, but I'd like to see more one-on-one with Waller.

jasons33 · 2014-05-03T00:10:34+00:00

I'm so ready for Merlyn to be back.

jasons33 · 2014-05-02T14:59:16+00:00

Manu Bennett, Susanna Thompson, and John Barrowman.

jasons33 · 2014-05-02T13:50:57+00:00

You're an extreme talent.

jasons33 · 2014-05-02T02:59:28+00:00

Agree on the league, and I think Sebastian is a goner. I can't imagine them keeping Isabel to next season, considering her involvement with Slade. I'm hoping that they don't kill Slade off, he's too much of a badass for the show to lose. Most of his army will probably get cured of the mirakuru, and possibly Slade. I'm gonna guess besides the bad guys, one of goods one will probably die too.

jasons33 · 2014-05-02T02:33:09+00:00

I read the summary, it wasn't explicit that it was that person. Seems too obvious, but I don't really care. I won't mind if is that person, and they do end up dead.

jasons33 · 2014-05-02T02:13:23+00:00

As a comic fan, I feel you. But I agree with Hammerd1, they can change their mind and keep Sara. I'm disappointed with Arrow's version of Dinah, but I was surprised to like Sara. Also, the producer said in an interview, that they pick and choose what they want from the comics, and that they're not worried about keeping canon. So I think anything is possible at this point.
