Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Can't wait to see Vixen go HAM.
By which I mean channel the power of a pig.

They need to stop nerfing Oliver when ever they feel like it.
Yes, because that's how TV shows succeed. With just two characters

if someone was trying to kill me I would of course tell the woman that I am in love with. "hey, this dangerous organization is coming after me and for security reasons it's best I lay low for a while" then you can build real drama from there.
I don't think the show sucks but after four seasons we really shouldn't be doing the forced drama of the week and characters acting purposefully dumb for the sake of convenience or to appease certain factions of fans that live for cheap romance and drama in their TV shows. for the record I thought the action last night was excellent but the rest was too much that I just tuned it out.

Unfortunately the show runners are in a cocoon of shipper suck ups that pretty much over runs the show's fan base even if they're not actually a majority.
Also I forgot, I was kind of expecting the news of Oliver's kid to come up on the news as Oliver and Felicity were getting their pictures taken and the reactions photographed. But nope.

So, do we think Darhk killed Samantha? Or what?
I wouldn't be surprised if the writers never considered it.
Or Dahrk just kidnapped William from school or something.
There are some important developments. Plus it's one of the better episodes of the season IMO, the action is on point and the character development feels natural (barring some rather pointless Lance/Donna drama). Worth watching.

It is still so utterly crazy to me that we have THREE SHOWS all set in the same universe, constantly guest starring or referencing characters from one show in another and they deliver 3 hours every week.
Like, I never would have thought this possible. I fucking LOVE cameos and cross-overs and we now get them almost every week!

I cannot get over this statement today.
Now spam Stephen Amell until he mentions it, please.
FOUR shows in the multiverse.
Can you imagine if they somehow worked in Gotham, Smallville and 90s Flash in there... THE GRAND UNIFICATION
I really don't count Supergirl, cause,as you said, multiverse.
I also personally think it is a terrible show XD

The guy who plays Dark is great, loved him in Justified as well.

Have you seen past the first maybe 7 episodes?
Indeed.
I do not like a single character on the show and I think it is cringe central.
Just opinions man, no offense.

I actually thought season 1 was the best, before everyone and their Nan was a super hero.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
This is definitely one of the better episodes in awhile. The direction and writing were both on point. I'm going to take a wild guess and say it was directed by someone on the stunt team again because we got way more long takes than usual, and the fight choreography and stunts were way better than a run of the mill episode.
It was also...fun? Which is rare with this show sometimes. I really liked how Oliver and Felicity were going to hack the building's fire alarm and Thea just pulled the lever. And everyone had something important to do. It did a better job of showing off why Oliver needs Team Arrow.
Only weak spot was the flashbacks, per usual. But even those were short and didn't diminish my enjoyment of the episode at all.

Nah wasn't attacking just meant imo the show took a huge turn with a certain character showing up around 8 or 9 imo.
Said character makes the show for me.
I can definitely understand it still not being for everyone.
I also say Gotham turned around at the same points with S2 making it one of my favorite tv series.
Yes it was stunt coordinator James Bamford directing.
Even the flashbacks were a bit more fun than usual this season, thanks to dead Conklin.
Prosthetic arm is nice, but maybe they should go with the iconic no arm opening shot

Meh, I liked Hammerman and Nailgunwoman. They were fun and their fights were actually pretty good compared with some of the terrible stuff we've had in previous episodes.
It wasn't a perfect episode, but I enjoyed it. Too bad I can't bring myself to care about the convoluted hot mess that is Legends of Tomorrow.

Have you seen her arms? Girl likes to stay fit.
And it's not like she skips leg day. Felicity is easily the most swole character in this show after Ollie and Diggle.
Electric wheelchairs are a hassle. They weigh a ton. If you never ever want to enter somewhere with little stairs, they are fine. A manual one, Oliver could push them up. Or drop them in the trunk after loading Felicity in the seat. And driving them isn't the easiest thing either, a joystick simply isn't as useful.

But she and Curtis could probably whip up Xavier's hoverchair thing over an afternoon let alone a regular electric wheelchair. Curtis has already created a power source for it.
Why bother if you can just cure paralysis?

Free unlimited power. Forget Darhk. I'd be watching out for OPEC and Edison.

I forgot to say how hard I rolled my eyes at Darhk's telemurdering some random chubster in Madrid.
Better than Darth Vader.
Case proven. You keep doing you, girl. It's clearly working.
