writers have shown the villains of the week is not status quo, if you define villain of the week being the names in ollie's dad's book as witness the royal flush gang deathstroke may be presumed dead but it's no guarantee within a handful of episodes, writers have shaken up the milieu instead of drawing it out too long so i give them that... ollie caught on vid, goes to trial; tommy merlyn and laurel lance getting close again somewhat, etc still like it outside of the badly choreographed fight scenes, looks like the cameraman was on a pogo stick or masturbating ... very disorienting to see what's going on |

Tidbits - I like the foreshadowing that the sister might become his sidekick ie nickname: Speedy. I wonder if Ollie's best friend Tommy Merlyn is foreshadowing (if the series survives that long) that he will turn against Ollie. Not sure if Speedy or Merlyn will ever take up the bow and arrow though. |

It's been watchable IMO, better than Smallville. No way they don't bring Deathstroke back, they are looking for a long run with many arcs, why close that door?

I made 2 animated GIF's from the 5th episode of Arrow (the one with Deathstroke) - 2 cool-looking takedowns

ack! i was behind 3 episodes... last night i watched 2 episodes and a half of ep 9
dayum! i didn't expect Huntress. very cool! and that mysterious dude leader of the rich cabal is tommy merlyn's father!?!?! now i know why 'merlyn' was used since it was a villain's name.
they broke the "ollie hunts corporate villain of the week" mode... and you all were worried! IIRC Jeph Loebs (or Geoff Johns) cowrote the teleplay of ep 7, intro of Huntress. |

Yeah...I was worried. Glad to see they are going to play the long game with the baddies. My guess is Ollie kills Tommy's dad...and Tommy takes up the mantle of Merlyn agains Ollie. |

This show is getting pretty good. I'm ignoring the soap opera aspect, because the rest of it is so good. GG still watching? |
