Also really looking forward to Huntress, and even though I've never been crazy for Deathstroke, I hear his episode(s) are really good.<br /><br />Count Drunkulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130778855882160092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668210084848809730.post-24992128027539116582013-08-12T13:58:13.204-04:002013-08-12T13:58:13.204-04:00Its a decent show all told, certainly better that ...Its a decent show all told, certainly better that Smallville. The plots and interpersonal relationships run much faster, that's for sure.<br />The fight sequences are handled rather well, and as the season goes on get quite hectic in parts. There are god and bad points;<br />John Barrowman - camp as anything and disliked here in the UK because of his 'jazz hands' approach to acting. He is remarkably restrained here, which makes a change.<br />Diggle, Arrow's Man Friday. Play a drinking game each time he mentions he was in the army, you'll be drunk by the end of the second ep.<br />Felicity, the wannabe Oracle who turns up midway thru the season. Annoying at first but gets better as she joins Arrow's 'crew'.<br />Tommy. Goes thru several character changes before finally redeeming himself. Pity its too late for him tho...<br />Colin Salmon's character. He left halfway mid-season to appear in the UK in the reality show Strictly Come Dancing,the British version of Dancing With The Stars, hence his kidnap early on.<br />The three Huntress episodes are fun, tho the costume is slightly off, and the actress playing Helena Bertinelli cannot act tough at all.<br />Deathstroke is superb!! Manu Bennett is a cool addition to the show.<br />Alex Kingston [River Song from Doctor Who] turns up much later as Laurel's mom, and makes a cool crack about a canary, and the Flash!karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07814365568280298681noreply@blogger.com
