Enver Gjokaj isn't a good actor. He barely reached the incredibly low bar of having the best performance on Dollhouse.

It would be pretty cool if Atom shrunk down in the finale and everyone assumed he had died, and then he turns up at the start of next season when they are setting up the spin off

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but man, why did they turn the Ray Palmer into Tony Stark. I guess they wanted a Ted Kord deal, but I'm definitely not feeling that at all.

For what it's worth, the last episode with her positioned her character for some serious development. They might not capitalize on it, but she's positioned for it.

Makes sense given everything they have said about it so far emphasizes that it is an ensemble show.

Hey, Deadshot was fun! And it has Diggle! Admittedly the current squad line up (Uhh...Cupid?) is not looking so good.

But still, we got a live action Deadshot and Bronze Tiger and an Amanda Waller and people keep talking about the pre-pre-pre-production movie casting like it's never been done before.

Plus I have very little faith in the DC movies people doing it any better than Arrow.

They're both great shows that are trying to do different things. Arrow is high melodrama mixed with comic goofiness with a gritty filter on top. Daredevil is what happens when Hannibal and The Wire had a baby with The Dark Knight as the godfather.

I only watched the pilot so far, but found the story less interesting and that it felt smaller in scope and budget than Arrow's pilot.

On the other hand, the fight scenes get to be more brutal and bloody, and the dialogue is smarter - purely by them giving the audience a lot more credit. (Arrow writers would have had a voiceover outright saying "I could hear her heartbeat increasing and I knew she was lying" instead of just letting the viewer infer that from the scene, for example.)

This will now come up forever but it's a really silly comparison to make. The fact that one is meant
to go on CW and the other on Netflix changes both show from the ground up. Hell, Arrow itself
would be different if it could go 50-60 minutes per episodes like Daredevil does.

Fairly sure Arrows budget is so small in comparison to Daredevils (which is also ten episodes shorter but say eight because each runs a little longer) that it would be like comparing the moon and the sun.

Daredevil is really loving good though, like I can't imagine how they could have made it better (besides making a spin off "keeping it real with Stick")

It may not be fair, but I kind of don't care? You mention comparing the moon and the sun. If I want to sit outside and easily read a book, then it may not be fair to expect that much light from the moon, but it doesn't matter if it's fair. That's how much light I need to enjoy myself. Similarly, I want a show that's really entertaining. I'm not gonna sit and watch a low quality show and be happy just 'cause "hey, that's all the better they can do".
