Goddammit, Carter's coming back in the next episode

I will only accept this if it's a Bender's Game type scene with every single Carter throughout history in one room, the fabric of spacetime starts breaking down and then the ghost of Gardner Fox reaches through the breach and plucks them all from of existence.

I've avoided Arrow because I'm not that into Batman, and they seem to really want to do Batman.

I thought the same thing but then Arrow started murdering people and I thought it was cool he wasn't a bitch like Batman.

Then he stopped killing people and the show got worse.

This, pretty much. The pussification of Arrow (both in the sense that he stopped killing, and in the sense that he started dating Felicity) is what ruined the show.

Ray and Stein are boring as hell. Snart and Rory are pretty decent most of the time, and Sara has her moments, but most of the cast are dead weight most of the time.

Yeah, and that whole thing with the list of corrupt politicians and evil businessmen or whatever was cool too. It was pretty neat that he was a super hero who went around murdering people for "failing the city". He can 't even use that line any more because he just fights ridiculous supervillains. With non-lethal arrows and bullets. :rolleyes:

Ray is fun because he's such an unbelievable dork. Brandon Routh is a good comic actor and it plays to his strengths.

Sara, Ray, Snart, and Mick, are probably the most redeemable characters of the team. Ray because he's the lovable dork, Mick and Snart because they're the give-no-fucks anti-heroes and Sara because she's also a give-no-fucks anti-hero, but more heroic. Also Sara and Snart get all the good quips.

Both components of Firestorm are kinda meh, but one is generally useful as a smart person or by subverting the expectation of what he's supposed to do because he's old. Hawkgirl and Rip are basically only essential because the plot demands it. Otherwise, they're dead weight in terms of entertainment.

The original plans were to have a new cast so I'd imagine she won't show up again unless there's a significant amount of fan demand for her return.

I totally see the show ending with Kendra dying and then it showing her and Carter together, and present it as a romantic storyline.

As was said, JL/U had the best handling of hawkgirl. When Carter comes calling she's all "Wtf creep" and Batman backs her up. If Batman is calling you a creep, you know you are one.

Yeah, the list was a cool hook. And then he just ditches it to... fight street crime? I can't remember. It's not like all those horrible people just disappeared.

Carter embodies this more than Savage, because he is all plot and zero characterization. He exists to remind us of Savage, and to provide exposition.

Even Savage is characterized. To the extent that "Eurotrash extra from Taken" is characterization. He has subjective emotions, if you count being smug and yelling sometimes. Carter is pretty much a statue who does plot.

Carter is not the worst part of this show. Kendra and Ray getting married is the worst part of this show. I cannot imagine why the writers thought that was a good idea. There is no chemistry whatsoever and it's unbelievably shoehorned in.

Episode wasn't nearly as fun as the last one, but it still has its moments. I'm genuinely curious, though, how they'll make the final battle, with a fireball-man, supersuited genius and flying hawkcouple, even remotely even against a man who can throw knives kinda well. There's no way the last episode isn't bad.
