It looks like his upgraded costume has a proper face mask though - Felicity seems to have drawn inspiration from Malcolm's costume.

muscles like this? posted:Since Oliver and Laurel's relationship is kind of blown up what with the dead Tommy in the room, I'm wondering if he's just going to start hooking up with Sarah now. I hope the first clue Laurel or her father have of Sarah being alive is accidently walking in on Oliver having sex with her. The drama would be delicious.

I suspect this season will be all about Brother Blood and Rochev, with the league of assassins remaining in the background of Sarah's plot arc, and as a bit of a cocktease. I suspect they're being set up to be a big thing next season.

I'm honestly struggling to comprehend how anyone, let alone a genre savvy goon, could have seen those first few episodes and not just assumed she'd be revealed to be alive at some point.

muscles like this? posted:The CW has announced another DC comic show in development, this time its Hourman but instead of the regular comic book version of the character (Rex Tyler, a chemist who creates Miraclo which is a drug that gives him superpowers for exactly one hour) they're giving him the ability to see one hour into the future. They already did this for an episode of Deep Space 9. It doesn't really need to be done again. I have really mixed feelings about the thought of them adding superpowers to this show. It doesn't need it, it does just fine as its own little Nolanesque piece of deliciousness. Which is so strange considering I went into Arrow thinking what a shame it was that they weren't making a Smallville spinoff with Justin Hartley. (Oh god how much worse would that have been than what we ended up getting.)

They were wearing the exact same shoes though. I'm struggling with the idea that the show could show a shadowy figure, where the only thing you can see clearly is the distinctive shoes, and then focus on those exact same shoes again, only for it to be a coincidence. I think it's her.

If you get a chance to bring her back, I think you should." Was Tom Welling always such a fuckwit? Or did something happen to sour him on his role in smallville? He seems like such an idiot who hasn't done anything of note since.

VDay posted:This was the only thing about the episode that I hated by the way. I can kind of understand why they wanted to have that scene to show us that hey, she really talked to someone, but it was completely ridiculous for it to happen the way it did and I think would've been better off being cut. That way there's still some mystery as to whether or not she's bluffing (which, to be fair, she still might be in a way) and we don't have this ridiculous exchange happen: I actually assumed it was one of Malcolm's goons, and never gave it another thought till now.

As far as I'm concerned that's the correct pronunciation of vigilante. (I know he was born in New Zealand but he was raised in Australia from the time he was a few months old).

bobkatt013 posted:Prometheus. It was after he bombed Star City and killed Roy's daughter. The storyline ended with Roy having one arm and fighting off burglars with a dead cat while high. It is really really stupid. I hope they go for a redemption arc with Slade in this show, and keep him as an anti-hero. I like him too much to have him as a clear cut villain. Besides, then they could eventually spin him off onto his own show ala Angel.

I know why they do it, it's just always makes me smile whenever I see a loving shot of Bing pop up on someone's tablet or smartphone. As a massive windows phone and Microsoft Surface fan boy though, I prefer to see it as an idealised vision of the world as it should be.

Spergatory posted:Amell brings up an interesting point in terms of Arrow vs Flash; most of the effects stuff on Arrow is practical. They rarely, if ever, use CGI for anything. But the Flash has powers, the kind that can be very difficult to portray convincingly without special effects. Grant Gustin has an Olympic running trainer whipping his rear end into shape, but that can only do so much; you just can't give a man onscreen superspeed with practical effects. And the Flash isn't the only one they have to worry about; if they're going to use Flash as their 'powers' show, it seems they're going to need some pretty heavy CGI eventually, and TV CGI just isn't good most of the time. I never had an issue with the special effects on Smallville. That show had many problems, but CGI was never one of them. Anything Smallville can do, arrowverse can do better. People have been watching/making effects heavy scifi for decades - Star trek managed it fine, the stargate franchise managed it fine.

scene for Barry was some of the best special effects I've seen on TV, so maybe they just have a really clutch CGI department. Or maybe they blew most of the season's budget on that scene. Who knows? It's an interesting question going forward. Because I think whether the show can sell the Flash's speed without making it look fake or dopey is going to be one of the biggest factors in whether it sinks or swims.

Keeku posted:Good chance Australia is a significant cause of that. Season 1 was way behind the US, and I don't think season 2 has even started airing here yet. Definitely, I wasn't willing to wait. If Channel 9 doesn't respect its viewers enough to show stuff on time, then they lose me as a viewer - and it's not like I ever watch ads, I record everything I watch so I can watch on a delay and skip ads. I justify it by always purchasing the DVD of the season when it comes out.

Narcissus1916 posted:Man of Steel's largest problem is that it relegates Superman into a passive role for the ENTIRE FILM. First he's subservient to his father, then his space-father. Then Zod basically says "The only way to beat me is XYZ" and Clark just goes "Yeah, okay, I'll do that." Really? You didn't think that Man of Steel's biggest problem was that it was an episode (ok, half a dozen episodes, I know how slow they were) of dragon ball z masquerading as a superman movie?

BreakAtmo posted:Spartacus is worth anyone's time, it's spectacularly awesome. However, the stuff about having to slog through early S1 is true. My experience, which may change when I get around to rewatching the series, is that episode one was laughably bad, episode 2 was a big improvement, and the episodes following that continued to climb in quality until the loving-awesome episode 5, and then it kept that level of quality for the rest of the series. I slogged through smallville. I think I'll be able to handle it.

They said she becomes Black Canary "later than you hope, but sooner than you expect", and the end of this season fits that pretty well. I didn't think it was possible for something to happen later than 'never'.
