Well I don't really read comic books and I don't think the tv show is made to make people who read comic books happy*?

I just think it's ridiculous and wondered if they addressed it, even in a meta or cheeky way. It's not like I'm raging and gonna have to stop watching the show, it's just how the gently caress do you not recognize your ex-boyfriend/brother/date standing three feet in front of you with just some eye paint and slightly covered by a hood?


*Because if I've learned anything is that they never are
It's dark, voice modulator and to be fair they kinda shoot it so you can see them but in reality a hood that goes over your eyes will kinda be hard to see from the front in the dark from a few feet away (they also make the habit of hitting the lights before he comes in and makes it short enough that you can't have time to adjust)

Also because TV.

spoiler-free a) yes, it will come up
very, very mild-spoiler b (you can probably read this) It's basically all but stated Detective Lance knows by now, and S2 deals with folks figuring his poo poo out in and out throughout the year.

All of this is true, but the second they make eye-contact with him, he's done. Anyone really, it's like you had Brad Pitt put on a hood a some eyeliner fighting crime. Anyone who sees his face and doesn't die would be able to recognize him basically.

Yeah, I'm just gonna go ahead and dismiss it as 'because TV'.

One last question, and I'll shut up about Arrow: Does the actor who plays Oliver actually do most of his stunts? I haven't really found a clear answer with a quick google (I also want to avoid spoilers, so)

Because I can't figure out how those would be faked (and he said he did them himself)

In the Arrow thread we exhaustively chronicle the exploits of Saint Stephen, and the answer that he gives is that he does everything they let him do, they being basically the insurance company. He trained in parkour for six months I think?

He does everything he is allowed to (apparently insurance prevents him from doing really dangerous stuff - and actually shooting an arrow). The salmon ladder is all him.

Also if you've been watching Castle on and off, or gave up this season, make sure to tune in tonight. The episode will be about how Castle and Beckett are pursued by a ninja assassin while investigating the homicide of a Japanese ballerina.

It can be kind of inconsistent but I'm enjoying the show. They've also kind of ramped things up a bit after coming back from the Winter break.

If you're on Facebook I would suggest following Stephen Amell's official page. Its run by Stephen himself and he's fairly open and honest about stuff. He posts a lot of behind the scenes pictures and videos of everyone goofing off.

He doesn't hold a candle to Harry Goz in the Sealab episode of Archer, though.
