The series, which will air on Wednesdays at 8:00-9:00 p.m., stars Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, Colin Donnell as Tommy, Katie Cassidy as Laurel Lance, David Ramsey as John Diggle, Willa Holland as Thea Queen, with Susanna Thompson as Moira Queen and Paul Blackthorne as Detective Quentin Lance.
Ollie loves every woman he ever meets. All of them apparently also love him. But he can't be with them because it's too dangerous. Although he meets up with them everywhere and has them do shit for him to help hunt down dangerous criminals. But no fucking! That would be too dangerous for them. [Reply]

This show has gotten a lot better and seems to have settled down and find and stick with what's good and what works. A lot of the first season was really over-melodramatic and seemed to be trying too hard. It almost seemed like they started off with the Nolan-approach of being ASHAMED of being based off comic books so they wanted to make everything uber "realistic" and dark and emo but now they're confident enough to greet it with open arms with having Ollie less uptight, more open to bringing in more comic book references, etc.
I hope they manage to get Nightwing on this show at some point, they would never get rights to do Bats but Nightwing can be Arrow's link to Gotham and Batman who doesn't need to be explicitly referenced like how they did it in Smallville. Of course, Ollie is supposed to be super young and is roughly the same age as Bats starting out so you could argue that Dick is supposed to be a little kid at this point.. except Roy is more or less the same age as Dick if not younger so they can have Dick be the same age as Roy, just reference that he's been in the business for a lot longer than even Ollie at this point (which would be pretty interesting in how they interact with eachother) [Reply]
Didn't really like this episode. Ollie is supposed to be the most liberal/politically-inclined hero and yet they basically made him a cop crony, teargas bombing riots, making it a point to stop the hackers before they even showed their intentions etc. I like that Laurel's story is finally getting some traction but I'm really bored with Thea because she's largely useless and uninteresting (looks like maybe they're setting her up to be Katana?)

In the beginning of the episode he tells Ollie that he "hasn't been getting much sleep lately." I think he's being drugged or something.. setting him up to be Arsenal [Reply]
