Arrow villains tend to suck hard compared to their comic counterparts when they're first introduced. Every villain that gets to come back usually significantly improves as the writer figures out their character though. Count Vertigo, Deadshot, etc.

Well, China White did not get better. But she was most active during first 10 episodes of S1, before showrunners had time to start taking input from the fans.

It's strange that she isn't/wasn't a bigger nemesis to Ollie. She was quite a ruthless antagonist in Year One, I would have thought they might find a better role for her on the show.

I love Pokken!
Its just a shame that Vertigo had to die. He was such an awesome villian.

He really wasn't. I fully expect the true Count Vertigo to appear in the show eventually.

Bronze Tiger still sucks.

poor Michael Jai White. :/
 
It's funny you mention that, because looking at Michael's body of work you'd think he has some "gotta get barechested at least once" kind of clause.
The fact that he's on a show on the freakin' CW, with a body like that, and he still hasn't been shirtless is insane.

Get it together Arrow!
 
I really preferred this show when The Arrow actually killed people.

He'll still kill people. He's just more choosy about it. I mean... he spent the last few episodes straight up figuring out ways to kill Slade and he was definitely trying to kill Rochev.

"No kill" rules are idiotic. I like how Arrow handled it. He's not killing everybody he fights, but when it necessary he doesn't have problems with murder.

Agreed wholeheartedly.

Lol. Long lost twin brother out for revenge who has a sound device? Speaking of sound devices, why has Sara not used that neat little gizmo again?

CW can't just unleash the bomb that easily.

He obviously aimed at weakening Russia's forces before they inevitably invade Ukreaine. Olie is just trying to out-prep the enemy of democracy.

What happened to Count Vertigo? Yikes.

He's actually great. Really cool reinvention with crazy powers and very interesting backstory. And he's done in such way he would really nicely fit into Arrowverse. They would just need to propably give him some shirt, at least for some of the scenes :D
 
Birds of Prey

Sara: What do you guys think?
Felicity: I think if the Huntress shows up you should totally kick her ass
Diggle: *Nods like show nuff*

I love this show

I need to have an authentic Deathstroke costume from this Arrow incarnation in my life. I have to have it. Please somebody make it and I'll likely pay any price.

Since there's no official topic on it I say it here. Got damn that episode of The Tomorrow People. I hope this show get another season.

It was obvious Hilary was going to die. But god damn, that ending.
Twas nice to finally find out what The Machine does, it's been driving me crazy.
These past few episode have been crazy.

I know
It seems liek those rogue Tomorrow people are gonna capture his dad

Oh god I hope not, besides Roger is too strong for them.

I'm confused though.
Why did John stop Roger in that warehouse thing?
And did they ever explain why Jed was hunting the Tomorrow People? Seems weird he'd be helping them now.

I'm going with notion that he was under orders to do so by the Founder.

Yeah, too bad things aren't looking good for it to be renewed though it might depend on The 100 which is falling into a similar area as TTP on Wednesday. Do wonder what's going to happen next, should probably check the preview.

If Canary's powers are introduced, how do y'all think it will be handled?

I myself hope for something like this:

Slade: I just destroyed your doo-dad. Without it, you are powerless to stop me.
Canary: It was just a recording.
Slade: 0_0

If we get the Canary Cry, it won't be from Sara. Sara is a stand-in for the Dinah Drake Black Canary, who had no powers. The Canary Cry didn't come in until Dinah Laurel Lance took over the name.

Interestingly enough, though, the sonic devices Sara uses were used early in Birds of Prey, to replace the powers she lost from a throat wound in the Longbow Hunters run of Green Arrow. She eventually had her powers restored using the Lazerus Pit.

I didn't know the devices existed in the comics.

Gonna file that little factoid away for the next time someone on Gaf complains about Sara not having metahuman powers.

There is a topic. You can find it here. And yes, this was another worthy episodes. Too bad so many people have written the show off, but between Roger, John and the Founder this show has really found its stars.

I still think of the CW as the WB, because the network pretty much kept the WB's identity (ie. pretty actors who can't act staring in teen oriented dramas and DC television shows).
In which case you're severly underestimating The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, The Originals and Reign.

The Vampire Diaries is definitely a standard teen drama. But it's been lucky to have better writing and acting than the norm. Normally you'd end up with Jessica De Gouw playing Elena someone like Dylan Bruce playing Stefan.

I'm not denying the teen drama part :p

Oh I know. I do not care which characters voice is 'recorded' I just would HATE it if Laurel just develops the Cry out of the blue without addressing the device.

Sarah dies and the device amplifies Luarel's voice high enough to the canary cry
If I was right somehow I would cry tho
