I'm on episode 3 of Arrow. So far it's decent.... not super into it yet.

Oliver is cute though. Even if he's kinda douchey (at least at the beginning)

Try to push through, it gets way better.

I'm telling you though, the only reason this show lasted was people watched it long enough because of the too pretty to be real actors/actresses until the show got good :rofl1:

Haha, yeah they are all pretty. I will admit it is good eye candy.

Emily says it gets better when he gets some sidekicks?

Totally! And when the storyline really starts developing and moving. Right now they're just setting up everything.

In other news, I blew threw all three seasons of Grimm. Completely adore this show now! Love that there isn't the manufactured drama a lot of shows do, where they create conflict where there really doesn't need to be. The main plot is enough to keep you hooked, they don't need to make stupid fights between the integral characters.

Ok, finally watched the finale.

To quote you "ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG" I actually really don't want Oliver to get together with Felicity mainly because I like him better, and the rest of the girls better when we don't have to deal with the love drama. That being said, the other reason is because I love the, not really tension but, I don't know, hints about him and Felicity without it happening.

All that aside, I was kinda squealing inside when he told her Slade picked the wrong girl. Then when I figured out it was a trick for Slade I was really hoping she knew before they went into the house and THEN when I found out she didn't, I felt so bad for her. She's so freaking adorable.

Ok, as for the rest of the episode. THEA IS A STUPID HEAD. I just, her teenage, everything bad is happening license is DONE. She's driving me nuts and going off with her mass murderer dad at the end? Seriously? You just tried to kill him and now you're going to skip off and be his daughter or something?

I seriously hope the Detective is ok and doesn't die because he's become one of my favorite characters. And I hope Roy manages to give me reason to like him again, because I seriously want to but I always feel like I want to shake him.

Also, did anyone else think it was weird Sin hasn't been in these at all? Sarah was all over making sure she was ok before when things went down and this time nothing. I really like her character and was hoping to see her more.

And the ending, who saw that coming? Cause I gotta say, was not expecting it!

Lastly, totally looking forward to The Flash. Loved when they did the episode introducing him and paving the way for the new series and I really liked that guy when he was in Glee so I'm excited!
You know, after further thought I am actually glad they didn't follow through with the Oliver/Felicity thing quite yet. Though I was all exited at the prospect, I'd prefer if it didn't happen now and then as you said all the silly drama that would undoubtedly ensue. I know Laurel is supposed to be the main love interest but honestly, fan reaction to her has been so negative that I'm not sure if they can really follow through with it. We'll see. I'd like it if they draw out the tension with Felicity for a while longer and have them get together at a later point.

Yeah wow Thea, I wonder if she will turn into a villain on the show now?? It will be interesting to see where they take her....

Totally true about Sin, wonder what is up with her.

Definitely give it some time, I don't think I really got super into it until near the end of season one or beginning of season 2.

And yes, Oliver is really ridiculously good looking and possibly the main reason I stuck with the show at the beginning (plus I've always had a thing for guys with bows...). And he is kind of douchey at the beginning, yeah.

Yes! See, it gets really good! Glad you stuck it out.

The second season just ended a week or so ago so hopefully netflix will get the next season soon!

Oh and also, Stephen Amell who plays Oliver runs his own facebook page, which I think is pretty cool to begin with, and the other day he posted this:

"Was just sitting at brunch and I thought I overheard the table next to us having a discussion about the Flash trailer. Didn't want to eavesdrop, so I went back to stuffing my face with French Toast. Then I looked over and the guy at the table was literally mimicking the salmon ladder from our show. I immediately introduced myself. Fun morning!"

How awesome is that, haha, can you imagine being that guy? Would be so shocking.

See Smallville. :p
I'm not saying I can predict how it will happen or that they never break mythology in the shows - but fans really liked Lana, and they also loved Chloe so much she eventually was written into DC Comics (Chloe was an original character created just for the show by the show creators.) Fans even had a theory that Chloe was going to change her name to Lois Lane because they loved her so much... then the actual Lois Lane showed up. Whomp.

So far Laurel is wayyyyy better than Lana. Anything is better than Lana though.

I never watched the last few seasons of smallville.

ETA: I may be the only one that hated Lana though lol.

It seems to me like people had times were they were like "Lana and Clark!!!" and then "OMG why is Lana sooooo dumb??" hahahaha. But overall they bought into the relationship. Whereas I would have been like "Why is this a thing? Clark ends up with Lois. Why are we doing this? I don't even care."

You should watch the last few seasons... just tough it out through the middle of the series and the last couple seasons pay off, from what I hear. I haven't watched it all through yet either. =P

Anyone watch the season finale of Supernatural?!

Yep. Kinda saw it coming, lol. Gonna be fun.

For Arrow, Netflix typically puts the shows online a couple weeks before they start again, so you have a while to wait unfortunately. I'd stalk the CW to see if they play it again this Summer just in case though.

I finished season one of Arrow the other day... it's still pretty blah to me. I'd watch it if it's easily available but still not excited about it.
