Stupid decision to move it to Thursday :(

Agreed - I didnt read why it was done. Maybe ratings reasons?
But I really liked the past schedule, one show per night (supergirl, flash, arrow, legends)
It had a nice balance esp with flash being pt and arrow being pt2 for some eps and crossovers.

For the crossover this season, Arrow will be on Monday I think along with Supergirl.
 
I’ve just been rewatching Arrow from season 1 and I’ve come across the 4th season and seriously think this season almost killed the show. It’s horrid. Season 5 tho especially Chase was an incredible villain. Deathstroke is still the best but the darkness of both characters is what made them spectacular.
 
I'm shocked people enjoyed Chase, I thought he was annoying as feck. The best villain was Damian Darhk, I find the actor to be quite funny yet sinister.
Even in Suits he's funny.

Darhk was good but if I had to list villains it would be Deathstroke, then Chase, then Darhk.
 
Omg I just read what one of the show runners had to say about the upcoming season and......sigh, its not looking all that great. I know its a family show on CW but I wish they would just go dark and gruesome and stop pissing about with 'family' and nonsense. I only care for Oliver and Diggle and now Dinah, I mean yeah Felicity is cute and she's got a ghetto booty but she and Thea are so annoying. First couple of seasons Thea only had two emotions she's either angry or sad, they should minimize their roles if they know whats good for them.
 
Chase was fantastic. Loved the twist with him. And then how he matched up with Oliver. It was fantastic. The last two or so episodes especially were immense.

Man I’m the complete opposite. I can’t stand Darhk at all. Thought he was a horrible character and one of the main reasons I’m hating that season. It also didn’t seem all that dark and treacherous. I thought Chase was by far a better Vilain and he put back that bit of darkness in to the show that seemed to be lost the previous season. The death being the only standout moment of season4.
 
-So... entertaining episode. But status quo doesnt change.
Much like Flash and Legends.

Without going into much about the other shows, all three ended in a cliffhanger, all three had time jumps and by the end of all three eps, it was more of the same bar a few slight changes.
I think following up the fantastic finale of last season was always going to be tough, but its a shame how quick things move on. It will be kinda nice seeing flashbacks to fill in the gaps of the last five months (esp if we see more Slade) but really the only character who died on the island is the one that we all expected.

Biggest mistake for the show is to have these time jumps of 6 months. It's pretty pointless, better to have the season pick up just right after (or a few days/weeks) the finale of the previous season.
 
So no one died, except a character that has only been in the show a few minutes and the audience cared little for, what.a.cop out...

The episode was pretty much, much of the same. revisiting Olicity ,his identity, Lance in a constant traumatised state over his daughter, (that isn't really his daughter), hoss guy saying "hoss" and CW unable to let go of the Laurel character... :boring:

I am done with this now, i just cant bring myself to watch another 22 episodes of CW's spineless writing.
We already pretty much know whats going to happen. Oliver is going to struggle between being the GA and a father, his son will get kidnapped, Lance is going to be put in the situation of needing to kill Laurel again. And much other rehashing stuff will happen inbetween..

So Oliver wants to give up being the Green Arrow essentially to protect his son but then nominates his best mate who is also a father to be the new one. Sensible.

I hope William dies soon.

Yeah me too, hope it's some kind of a car crash.

With Felicity driving. And Iris being in the passenger's seat for some reason.

Bad that I was thinking the same thing. Kinda puts a real dampener on the show. Actually do The Queens still have some money. Send that brat to boarding school pronto.

Weird that in Arrow and the Flash they keep name dropping Bruce Wayne. I wonder if at some point we are going to see a Batman especially with Titans dropping next year.
 
No one wants to see Diggle as the Green Arrow. Got sick of him ever since he started wearing that ridiculous helmet. Insult to Magneto. Diggle is gonna get somebody killed. Maybe William.

oh please god yes
 
'Ay yo John we've heard you're shit at shooting arrows from a bow so now you can shoot arrows from a fecking crossbow m8'. 'Hey John why don't you skydive at like 100 km/h and then I just fecking push you with my PMS-induced-sonic-waves so you can hit the car and then just walk like it ain't shit'. 'Hey dad if you cannot help me with maths I shouldn't be talking to you'. 'Hey John as fans have pointed out you also have a family like this kid whose gender I cannot remember because all of the shit Flash did and wife, it's not okay for me to ask you to be a GA', 'Nah man they are just a support cast lol doesn't matter'.

This shit is taking a very wrong turn into 'Shit season with Damien Darhk' alley.
 
Was a pretty poor episode. They are really dropping the Batman Easter eggs tho. I do wonder if they are building to a CW Batman apeerance. Like Oliver has already sort of suggested he knows Batman by saying Oracle is already taken.
 
Why they keep insisting on Oliver giving up the "bow", I will never understand.

Having him killed by Ra's - as if.
Him and Felicity moving away - again, we don't believe it.
Now, this Diggle bullshit. Don't the writers understand that it adds nothing to the show.
 
The season hasnt started off well. I still have one episode to catch up on (just saw the ep where Oliver asks Diggle to be GA so he can be a dad). Even though Diggle is a father to somebody younger :lol:
Oh and Diggle saying yes despite not being able to shoot a gun, but now has to shoot arrows haha.

Wont say much else until I see the next episode to see if thats addressed.

Its a shame, I think they have blown such an awesome end to s5 by returning to norm rather than taking it up a notch and in a different direction.
 
So i decided the latest episode.... and apparently the internet is stored in a large vault :lol::wenger:

Ludicrous display by the writers clearly need to educate themselves about the internet

There was a poster who referred to the show as Felicity and friends. That last episode was a representation of that. She's so annoying

Haha you’ve really got a hatred for her. What is it about her? I quite like her character, and he goofy sort of stick. However there are moments where they are trying to force some Olicity stuff where no human would act or be that way.

I just find everytime I watch Arrow its like she's in charge of Oliver and the team. They're giving her too much authority in my opinion, I like her but her role she be limited like they did with Thea.

To be fair tho without Felicity Oliver and Dig would be dead and not making such a dent on crime. They kinda need that tech person. Thea is just another person to beat someone up so I can see why she was limited.

True. She can be of help but without being so authoritative and a wanna be badass its so forced. The season is going alright but I don't like William too much and Diggle as Arrow. By the way do you know notice the chemistry between Diggle and Dinah? I think they might make out soon.

Aye, whilst I’m sitting on the crapper after the show I imagine the many ways I hope William dies. Current one is he gets a thing for Felicity and Oliver is forced to kill him old testimont style for looking at his lady. Whichever way I picture it, it’s a bloody horrific death. Enough to rival Obaryn Martels death.
I hate Diggle as Arrow, I mean if Oliver wants to step down then he is the obvious choice , but just not for the child reasons, that’s just damn stupid but I guess since William doesn’t have anyone else it’s a little different from Diggle situation. I also have noticed on that bit of tension between her and Dig, I wonder if with his drug habit now he’ll head in a downward meth spiral or something. Maybe kill William by accident by trying to play (holy shiiiiiiiiit!!!!, why didn’t I put two and two together) William Tell, shoot an apple off his head but with his jitters and stuff he misses and kills William whilst Oliver watchesthen he and Dana get it on in the blood soaked floor as William lies next to them.

(Last night I hammered like 8 episodes of Mindhunter so I apologise for the graphic imagery)

Sorry I’m a total hipster c*%t now and only drink artisanal beers. I hate myself for doing it but there just so damn fine. Except having to pay £4.50 for a nice cloudwater. William needs to die tho I think we are all in agreement yes?
