I also enjoyed the Green Arrow Killing Good/Bad Journey:

Pretty much, yeah. Christopher Nolan’s Batman was definitely the launch pad, but Green Arrow has always been a light-hearted Lefty. Amell proved he has some comedic chops on those cross-over episodes (albeit, often as excellent straight man) it’s a shame they didn’t lighten his character a little more over the course…

That sounds like a pretty good guess. It’s too bad because she had only just become a compelling, strong female character. The show might have been better off showing her moving on and no longer pining for Oliver like a school girl. But I get fans would always questions this, but better to have her move on (like…

I thought they were going to do a Sam & Diane protracted romance with Oliver and Laurel, I didn’t think the Felicity thing would last. It was cute at first, but then they took all of what made Felicity a compelling opposite to Oliver during the non fun seasons 3 & 4. Glad they kind of corrected that in recent seasons.

In the very first episode of Arrow, the camera pans across the beach of the deserted island where billionaire playboy Oliver Queen was supposedly stranded alone for five years, and zooms in on the iconic black and orange mask of classic comic villain Deathstroke with an arrow stabbed through its eyehole. The…

Especially the big mysterious deathbed whispered secret! I don’t know if Katie Cassidy had a contract issue or what, since she ultimately returned in a much worse role, all while introducing in a random third (and much worse) Canary, making it all moot, and detriment to the show.

Yup to everything.

Agree about Emmerson, I wish they’d gone somewhere with that rather than have him as the “fake out” villain. Also, prior to Diaz, didn’t we already have a bunch of Personal Vendetta Against Oliver Villains? Acevedo was compelling at first, but they never knew where to go with him since his motivation was pretty…

I hated season 3. They spent 10 episodes talking about what a threat R’az was. Then the most boring mush-faced English dude shows up. Like, really? He stabs Oliver, like that is going to stick, and then they spend the rest of the season talking about what a threat R’az is.

Yeah, agreed, it was a fresh start to to all of the mind-numbingly dull Team Arrow drama and Mayor Queen nonsense. Threw him back into the fire. Even recent Legends episodes have excelled with these characters all in their civies. I swear there was a stretch of episodes where Ray or anyone never suited up last season.

It’s kind of baffling how solid the show was in those first 2 seasons, and what a drop off we got in season 3 and 4 (especially considering how good Neal McDonough was as Darhk on Legends). Season 5 was a huge save, and I thought maybe the showrunners remembered what worked, but then we got 2 years of wandering in the…

I’ll be making a Fe-Line for the theatre!

Tom Six’s creative freedom must be very self-satisfying.

Not a bad attempt at interpreting it here:

Come on, Guggs, you’re forgetting someone!

What, is Justin Hartley too big for the CW now? But would he play Green Arrow or Aquaman?

Whoa relax, buddy, sun’s getting low...

Me thinks you are projecting, maybe read it a little slower

Apparently Britt is the biggest The Stand fan-girl ever, or maybe just doesn’t understand how “acting” works. Nothing short of her own hand-picked cast will meet her approval for this, uh, CBS Freeformerwhatever production.

this cast is largely uninspired
