Same comment as the first episode: the voiceover is awful. Otherwise, mostly like the show.

CW just picked it up for the full season.

After four eps, I like where this show is headed. My only complaint would be that the show has Arrow targeting a new billionaire bad guy of the week. That could get old soon - seriously, how many rich, corrupt bad guys are in this city?!

I do like that they're going for the Nolan-esq "no super powers" universe. I'm eager to see how they'll develop (Dinah) Laurel Lance; as to IF she'll become Black Canary in this series.

Per wiki, there's 10 eps this season. Hopefully, they'll start developing Merlin's (antagonist) character soon.

At first I didn't like the whole Green Arrow killing thing... but I've come to accept that that vigilante trait fits this character. Not a lot of "trick" arrows either, but that's OK. Also fits within the scheme of this rendition of Green Arrow.

I'm eager to see where this show will go.

I think wiki is wrong. Arrow got a full season pickup after the second episode. 22 episodes as I recall.

I also like where the show is going, and I like that they've outed him so quickly. I thought it was great that they found footage of him in the stairwell, and I'm curious to see how they get out of it. Entertaining show.

we've been picked up for 22 episodes...it's one of the most successful US television shows of the season...and there will be villians a plenty.

I have really enjoyed this show so far. Never gotten dull and the story has really been top notch. Taking on the character from Nolan's batman POV.

Oh, and some of the exercises they show him doing are impressive as hell. Christ in tonights ep he was doing pullups all the way to his waist. JFC that has to be hard.

Didn't see last night's episode yet but kinda enjoy the series. I am unsure about the new "sidekick" thing but wish they would do more of the flashbacks to the island.

There is a lot of story to get into then just His Dads hit list thing. The mother and the boat and the secret cabal type thing going on is interesting.

Also did the police detective play a Wizard in a short lived series which was cool but Sci-fi (syfi) cancelled cause the management there sucks?

Yeah, he was in the Dresden Files.

I really like the show, too. One thing that's a downer, though, is the sound is really bad. It's kind of "echo-y" and you have to really crank it up. Maybe it's just us (standard def on DirecTV) but the commercials sound normal and so does Supernatural right after.

I've noticed the sound as well. It seems like the balance is off on the surround channels.

They should have given Helena this Huntress costume



:-)

Anyone else think Jessica De Gouw has a low level Liv Tyler thing going on?

Tonight's ep... JIMP! His nemesis, Merlin (the bad guy archer in the comics/animated canon), is Tommy's father?! This show is awesome! hope they keep up the momentum.

Now on CW, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show... JIMP again! LOL.

The interesting thing in this ep is it appears that he may have also been the masked guy from the island. Not saying he is, but they did kind of lead you to that as an option.
[Reply]

(I assume) Tommy Merlyn's dad (Malcolm was it? - I still think of him as Captain Jack) is playing the archer Merlyn. Deathstroke's a completely different character (although I don't think they've given his name yet).

Enjoyed tonight's episode, and thought it was a much better first half season that I had ever expected. Good show.
[Reply]

I wonder how they'll dive into Deathstroke's back story, since he's a criminal and not a super soldier in this continuity.

Interesting episode tonight, especially the Merlin back story.

Enter Manu Bennett( Crixus from Starz' Spartucus) as Deathstroke
