You can have some sparkly Colin Salmon too! Oh, Strictly, you always manage to find some way to stop me taking some characters anywhere in the region of seriousness.

We watch Arrow (mostly because it is somehow tattooed into hubby's DNA that he must watch anything associated with DC Comics), but I can only stand it by drawing a stark line in my brain between this and the Green Arrow/Ollie Queen I read in the comics. And, yes, the only thing that saves the acting is the shirtlessness, lol.
ALL THE BROODING!!! HOW CAN THAT MUCH BROODING NOT HURT?
And is Dinah … Laurel … Chickybabe … whatever … gonna become Black Canary? And since Thea is Speedy but likely won't be that Speedy … does that make Diggle Speedy? (Spiggle?)
Oh, God, this is gonna be Smallville all over again, isn't it?
I think Smallville was excellent training for drawing stark lines of disbelief. Also, I've had excellent practice with BBC's Merlin, too.
THERE HAS TO BE SOME SERIOUS JAW STRAIN GOING ON WITH THAT BROODING. And it can't be good for his back all the shoulder hunching of broody doom.
I... guess they've dropped hints Laurel could do some martial arts stuff? But the very fact they're calling her by her middle name is maybe supposed to put us off the idea, idk.
Smallville never went quite this dark, so I hope it doesn't go to quite the same WTF territory as Smallville? Maybe?
Basically in my head Arrow is like. the Ultimates in Marvel. A darker version where people have the same name, and more of the history will sneak in but mostly, it's a general rewrite of vague concepts.
If you do watch it, just think of Justin as P&P 1995 and Arrow as LBD? ♥ It's a completely different show, and Justin/Ollie is just. gah. ADORABLE. and Arrow!Oliver is broody and. wait. broody. and shirtless. a lot more, lol. There's a million worlds between Smallville and Arrow.
I dunno, I had so very low expectations for Arrow because I thought nothing could beat Justin, and maybe it was my low expectations that got me so especially hooked to it.
