Every time Oliver sleeps with someone they die or go away. Dude has to have a complex by now.

I don't even think I'm being sarcastic here.

Oliver pushed Felicity away because every single woman he's slept with over the last seven years has almost immediately been brutally murdered or moved out of town. In a very literal sense Oliver won't be with Felicity because he's afraid of losing her.

I'll say it again. Oliver needs a shrink badly.

Seriously, their interactions went from funny and entertaining to cringe-worthy the moment they professed their "love" for each other.

I'm..... confused. I binged the first two seasons over the last couple of weeks, and I'm still really, really enjoying the show. I'm excited to start Flash as well, but I want to get totally caught up on this first.

There are some rather vocal people who are very dissatisfied with the direction of the show this season. Keep watching, let us know how it plays out from a binge-watch perspective.

Slow News Day

It's not really about direction, but rather about pacing. The highlights have been great but there's a lot of boring poo poo in between that drags on and on unnecessarily.

FWIW, the viewership numbers have been going down since Season 1, which had average 3.68 million viewers. In contrast, Season 2 had 3.28 million and Season 3 so far has 2.83. The season finale will probably push it up a bit but the show has been declining in popularity. Fortunately it's not a fast decline, so I'm still hopeful about them making things better.

And Game of Thrones, which started with only 2.2 million viewers on its first episode but had a whopping 7.1 million at the end of Season 4.

And probably millions more pirating.

Breaking Bad too actually.


I think premium cable in general is probably an exception.

Yeah which is why I'm asking if people who think this season is a huge drop off watched 1&2 bingeing. Pacing becomes much less of an issue when you are watching episodes back to back.

Revelry in the Dark

I binged Arrow seasons 1 and 2 before the start of this one and the only issue I've had is that the pacing is a little off but it's a non issue when you remember that these shows air weekly

jeez why put so much time into a show if you're going to actively hate it

I think season 3 is just as good as season 2 but just think it's strange that we haven't seen some reveal about how he was saved after the break. It still has to be the Lazarus Pit, right? Maseo and Tatsu sneaking him in?

Didn't want my post to come across like that. I must have missed the discussion after those episodes.

Looking forward to more Deadshot.
