This conversation is eerily similar to the BSG one about Lucy Lawless' feet.

What's wrong with Lucy Lawless? She's freakin' gorgeous. Today AND twenty years ago. Philistines.

From what I remember (and god, it's been like 6/7 years, so I'd say Season 3?), the promo shots for the new season of BSG were giant resolution and full length, so they showed her jacked up feet. It comes up in conversation if you archives search for years after the show ended.

The character was basically off the show already and was kind of a drifter in the first place so its not a big surprise that they just stopped talking about her.

Considering she was best friends with Sara (who was a pseudo-parent to her) its a little weird.

I think you usually need some kind of bridge between softcore porn action show before you go network.

Katrina Law was on Chuck years before Spartacus aired though.

There is literally no actor this show could afford who could pull off a "darkness inside me" line.

Manu Bennett could have pulled it off. :colbert:

I'm always impressed by how the Arrow team stretches their budget, but the Hong Kong set is basically a Vancouver street market with a few lanterns thrown in and a yellow filter applied.

To be honest they do the exact same thing for Mexico as well on pretty much any show. Yellow filter up the wazoo.

Neat thanks. Starling City is Chicago? Toronto? Where's Central City? :argh: I always thought Starling City was a West Coast city in the vicinity of Seattle or Portland for some reason... like say Vancouver.

(I don't know much about DC comics... I'm told they move around a lot or is that just Metropolis?)

All the cities are way off from their actual locations. New York is in West Virginia, Washington is in North Carolina, Vancouver is in the US and Corto Maltese is actually the Falklands. Detroit, St Louis, or Pittsburgh are all decent guesses (or God forbid Cleveland, though with the terrible PD it does seem likely) for Starling just going off that map.

The show's handling of legal questions is loving terrible and has been since day one. But I don't care, because the show isn't about the law.

How to get away with murder's butchering of basic law 101 concepts bothers me far more, because that's theoretically what the whole dang show is about.

It's funny because Brick sending the evidence back to the cops would end up getting tossed out of court since it left their chain of custody.

There's two kinds of people in this world. Chili snobs like yourself, and people who know there is no such thing as bad chili. Chili is like a rainbow, you're supposed to enjoy all the different colors.

Lean sirloin is a really odd choice for a chili. Most people use chuck.

You'd think they'd have Barrowman grow a beard or something so he isn't completely exposed as the biggest mass murderer in Starling history when he walks out of his limo.

Good episode as far as resolving several hanging plotlines, but god drat all of those emotional scenes really underscored just how terrible most of the actors (including Amell) on this show are. Laurel, Lance, and even Diggle have some chops, but holy hell does everyone else make me cringe when they try to pull off anything besides no expression or jaw-bunching sternness. Can't wait for the return of Manu.

If you think Amell can't act his brother is even worse on the Flash.

Yeah, I gotta agree on this. Oliver killing everybody and their dog helped keep the plot moving at a quick pace at least.

Arrow Season 3 has been a meandering clusterfuck full of halfbaked plots with a terrible set of flashbacks. The only really high note so far is Ollie getting cheststabbed by Ra's which they handwaved him surviving.

To be fair to Lance, he's had it out for Ollie since before the series started. The families have known each other for a long time, and Ollie has always been trouble.

My question is where the hell is the rest of the city civic structure while he's doing all this. Sure, the mayor is dead, but isn't there a chief of police or some city councilmen (Blood) or something like that to go "are you out of your mind?" every once in a while. Or is it just martial law and everything Lance says goes?

Calling it now: Last episode twist is going to be Thea icing Barrowman to show how much the Lazarus Pit changed her...in the soul.

This would improve the plotting because Barrowman has been written terribly since the second season.

I do like how nobody has noticed the guy responsible for 500+ deaths is just walking around Starling City looking exactly the same as when he was wanted for it. Guy hasn't even grown a beard.

Ollie just casually snapping the arrow sticking out of his arm using the sword was really cool. Everything he did this episode was just badass

Arrow was best when Ollie was basically an unrepentant murderer.

This season has been one chumping after the other. Sara dies with a whimper, Ra's dies like a chump, Maseo is a vacuum of no charisma and bad acting, the Hong Kong scenes universally sucked except for China White, Felicity turns into a one note nag, there are more deus ex machinas than Gods in the Roman pantheon to serve the plot, Malcolm gets a free ride from everybody on being a murdering poo poo, Roy went back to his home planet, and Katana is underused as all hell.

I can't think of any show whose quality dropped as quickly as Arrow's has. Aside from Thea (and her ever abiding love of half shirts), Nyssa, and the Tommy flashback it's been a rough ride. Even Ray has basically turned out to be a opposite sex copy of Felicity with an unlimited pocketbook and a doormat complex.

Nothing makes sense this season unless their budget was cut even more than it was last season or DC/CW was desperate to get their own version of MCU going.
