i heard this show was good, so I started watching it from episode 1. I think I'm about 6 or so episodes into it, and while I like it and it seems decent, it hasnt starting gripping me yet like I'd expect from what people say. Does it get any better or different?

No, quit now.

Oh boy, tonight's episode is a Felicity centric.

Unless she finally turns into Oracle I don't think it'll be too great and probably ends up making us hate her.

Eh, other than the brothers and Castiel, most people that died have stayed relatively dead. No idea about Vamp Diaries though.

e: My name is Malcolm Merlyn, and ever since I was cast as Captain Jack Harkness I've been chewing the scenery like a motherfucker.

TVD might be the bigger offender in the death department but it's also annoying how there are next to no real consequences on Supernatural.
Everything that happens to the brothers gets shrugged off almost immediately; they've died countless times, been demons, possessed, addicts, cursed, lost friends, lost family and they're carrying on like nothing happened.

I just really don't want Arrow to fall into this trap and also have death become meaningless, if using the Lazarus Pit does in fact make them lose bits of their sanity or humanity then I think I'd be somewhat alright.

I'd be even more relieved if it had a limited use.

Because shrinking is a stupid gimmick that doesn't bring anything useful to the street-level show like Arrow?

I disagree, he could use it to spy on enemies and get into hard to reach spaces that the Arrow otherwise couldn't.

Also, Sara dying was literally pointless and Merlyn's plan was a complete nonsensical cluster gently caress that resulted in Oliver nearly dying and the league grabbing him anyways, what an idiot.
Felicity has turned into a CW drama queen, Thea's back to being annoying as poo poo, and Slade is still a whiny baby that exists to just remind us that Shado existed.

loving amazing that people still defend this show but continually poo poo on Agents of Shield.

I'm legit mad that CW has nearly ruined this show like all of their others, I used to love Arrow but it's wearing thin already.
Doesn't help either that now they're swiping storylines directly from Batman.

I'm surprised it took you 3 seasons to realize that they're cribbing stories from Batman. Season one was literally BatmanArrow Begins, season two was TDK.

...What? Season 1 may have shared the tone of Batman Begins but storywise it wasn't similar at all.
Season 2 couldn't be any further from TDK if it tried, all I can see is maybe the Blood storyline resembled TDKR a little bit.

This nonsense with Ra's is the most blatant it has ever been, it doesn't even make any sense.
Unless he's been watching Ollie for years, asking him to be his replacement after meeting him twice feels forced and silly.

Also, what the hell has been the point of the flashbacks this season? I'm trying to figure them out and I can't.
What did Waller even see in Ollie?

Pretty meh episode, they're turning Ra's into a non-threatening puppy dog like they did to Merlyn.
I'll never not think this arc with Ra's wanting Oliver to be his heir is stupid and rushed, they didn't give him enough time to be a bad guy.

Hopefully he gets insulted by Ollie declining the offer and proceeds to murder the rest of the city.

Also lol if Shado is actually alive cause that would be retarded since we saw Ivo shoot her in the loving head.

Okay, don't know if anyone else had says this.

But I just realized something. Arrow has been taking a hell of a lot from Batman, and in the Paleyfest trailer they showed Lance turning on him, hunting him and even raiding the "Arrowcave". This of course strongly reminded me of the classic Batman animated episode "Over the Edge". Especially since both scenarios started off with the death of the police officer's vigilante daughter. But of course that episode was all a Scarecrow induced hallucination.

...then I remembered that the villain of the first episode was Vertigo, who was suddenly and inexplicably in that episode made extremely Scarecrow-esque, and had already nailed Ollie with fear drug, repeatedly I believe.

So the long and short of it I will now be paranoid that the entire season is a hallucination :p

Probably leave it alone unless it was dying with viewers? People aren't going to stop watching the show because the movie comes out, and they're not going to not watch the movie because the show is still on.

In fact, some might say...you'd get the reverse.

I, for one, don't plan on seeing any of the new DC movies if they're really going to let Zack Snyder be in charge of the heavy lifting with the Justice League movies.
