turk128 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Of all the relationships in the Arrowverse, Mister Terrific and his husband is the most normal. Arrow: The Dark Years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 So, I kinda dig the fakeout on the Prometheus reveal (there's no way it's who they think it is) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I'm in agreement. Not sure who it is yet, but that was way too easy. Beyond that the Hood & the Arrow are supposed to be two different people as far as the public is concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I loved all the little "A Christmas Carol" references in this week's Flash. And I'd love it if they occasionally did an Earth 3 episode with Jay and his stories. Hamill's Trickster was awesome in the brief time he was on screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still crossing my fingers they find a way to put Constantine on season 3 of LoT if it happens; someone like and/or Jonah Hex would really shake up the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 What's the deal with Arthur Darvill sitting out the first half of the season on LoT? Did they write him out to give him time to shoot a movie or other project? Or is Rip essentially going to be downgraded to recurring character on the show.

Eivion Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 The former. He was shooting the third season of Broadchurch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Thanks. I had no idea a third season of Broadchurch was even ordered (the closing of S2 indicated Broadchurch would return, but i'd forgotten about that). Good. I'm enjoying LoT S2, but with Snart gone and Rip Hunter mia, the show's a little short on characters I like (Sara and Mick basically, though I don't think I'd want to see Mick babyface'd to the point where he was carrying the show). I really thought I'd dig Firestorm on the show, but their version of Firestorm is managing to be a really boring version of the character (to me, anyway).

EVA Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Based on the first season, I'd think "LoT short on characters" would be a better LoT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 This week's Legends was bonkers batshit crazy and I adored every second of it. This show is so much fucking fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shylock Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 This season of Arrow just feels off, somewhat empty. Anything that should have some weight feels forced. The whole part in the flashback to the list hunting, where some dramatic explosion happens behind the Arrow, the music that comes on anytime Prometheus shows up, the forced bullshit with "OLLIE WAS A SERIAL KILLER YOU HAD A KILL LIST" when anyone watching the show knows damn well that he didn't kill everyone he came across and that killing the people involved wasn't really the point of his list - and Oliver not pointing that fact out. IIRC, most of them wound up keeping their lives (until Merlyn put an arrow through them) but had to sacrifice something (usually money given to the victims), etc. It's like they thought calling the Arrow a serial killer would be clever. "Does that really make sense?" "Nope, lets just do it anyway." The mid season finale hinging on that nonsense "Oh, Oliver you're a serial killer, this city needs to be saved from you, so I'm going to team up with a guy who has killed dozens of innocents because that's what makes sense." makes it worse. Season 3 was disjointed, but it still had a lot of fun things and even though last season had the Felicitiy BS, there's nothing near as bad as how some of the stuff this season is coming across. The new recruits don't seem to have any thought put into them at all either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I'm kind of in the middle on ARROW this season. I think they made a lot of good decisions in theory (besides doing yet another Mystery Villain, which the Berlanti shows have conclusively proven they don't do well at this point): Shaking up the supporting cast and injecting new faces was a good idea and long overdue. So was returning to more street level action and sort of walking Ollie back to his pre-season 3 personality and reckoning with his earlier actions. But the execution has just been flat. None of the new characters have connected and, worse, they don't even really seem that different from one another, despite their varied backgrounds. And the writing has been really non-committal on the Ollie stuff. All that said, I'll take this "meh" half season over the absolute shit show that FLASH has turned into. They have fucking ruined that series, and I'm not sure even more time travel can solve how badly they fucked it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Eh, Vixen was introduced into Arrow through her animated show on CW Seed and transitioned to a full-time cast member on Legends of Tomorrow, so all hope isn't lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 It feels like they think a fifth series might work but have real concerns about oversaturation. I think a little caution isn't hurting even though everything is clearly succeeding thusfar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a little caution isn't hurting even though everything is clearly succeeding thusfar. I think they can easily support 4 or 5 shows on the air (sorta*), but I do think a time is coming when they'll have to make some hard, smart choices about which shows those are. Like, is there really 7, 8, 9 seasons worth of story to tell with ARROW? Is LEGENDS OF TOMORROW really viable as an ongoing series? If they don't let shows overstay their welcome, and maybe shuffle around the actors they really like to other shows, they can ride this wave for a long time. *I mean, I haven't been happy with the quality of any of the shows since they expanded to 4, but going by the ratings, I think I'm of a minority opinion on that and most people would be happy if things kept chugging along as they are.

The Unholy Dragon Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Honestly I thought last season was weak for all the CW shows and Supergirl, despite a different network, took time finding its legs. It's not unfair to say they overreached a bit. That said, this season I feel like they're in a groove on all four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
