This "Arrow" has found its mark

[agt_spooky]

Since I've decided to no longer watch Supernatural because of a certain vile character who I now so despise I can't even look at him - I'm instead going to concentrate on shows that I actually enjoy!

Like Arrow! See my shiny new icon? :-)

I didn't start watching Arrow until around Christmas and as of last week I'm finally all caught up. What an awesome show!

Let's see:

• Oliver is da bomb! And Stephen Amell himself is a freaking riot, especially on Twitter
• I've grown to like Diggle much more
• Love Felicity to death! If she and Olli don't get together…
• I'm still on the fence about Roy. Do we really need another sidekick? I think the team's full enough
• Bring back Malcolm Merlyn ASAP!
• RIP Tommy Merlyn - I was really broken up about that
• Laurel - can we please get rid of her? She's the biggest black mark on the show for me
• I'm enjoying the flashbacks this season much more than last season
• Can we keep Walter and ditch Moira?
• The guest stars on this show rock! It's a fangirl's dream!

Do I have any other fellow Arrow fans on my flist? What are your likes and dislikes? Let's chat!

P.S. - Goodbye, Dean Winchester. I'll truly, truly miss you. And Jensen, I'm sorry you're stuck on a show that treats your character this way and has done for so many years.

You know you and I are on the same page WRT SPN. I've only been sticking around this long for Jensen/Dean anyway. And they want me to hate Sam, fine, I hate him.

As for Arrow, I love it! I've been a fan since it premiered, and I'm happy to hear you've gotten on board the Arrow Love Train! I honestly do think it's the best show the CW airs. :D

I'm normally all about the Olicity - though I admit last night my girl kind of pissed me off. But, still, I think she's the one Oliver should end up with. At the same time, I'm not so broken up about him hooking up with Sara last night. They're pretty hot together - especially when they're both suited up. ROWR!!!!

What this year's flashbacks, especially last night's, have proved to me is that Oliver was always with the wrong sister anyway. He and Sara were far more suited to each other than he and Laurel.

Katie Cassidy is DREADFUL in this role. I know she's a lightweight actress, but there is something seriously off with her here. And she looks absolutely awful - like the poster child for anorexia. I honestly don't know why the network and studio haven't stepped in - she looks that sickly to me.

I know Moira's a bad girl, but, dammit, I can't help but love her a little bit. LOL! I think it's because I really like the actress. And Walter is a doll! I wish they could find their way back to each other. ;)

I think I love Moira because she's a rare thing, a truly well written grey three dimensional female character. I actually like her more than I do Malcolm Merlin.

I hate to turn my back on SPN, I really do. But there is nothing at this point that Sam can do to redeem himself in my eyes. What he said in these last two episodes can never be taken back. He’s not possessed. He’s got his soul, etc. I’m sick of the way Dean has been destroyed systematically over the years so that Sam can keep being built up as the most important, the most righteous. So I’m through. I feel that continuing to watch is just supporting what they’re doing to Dean and I won’t do that.

I'm normally all about the Olicity - though I admit last night my girl kind of pissed me off. But, still, I think she's the one Oliver should end up with.

I thought it was a bit out of character for her to suddenly confront Moira like that and then to tell Oliver, to insert herself into the Queen’s lives like that. Not that I’m not glad that Oliver finally told Moira where to go!

At the same time, I'm not so broken up about him hooking up with Sara last night. They're pretty hot together - especially when they're both suited up. ROWR!!!!

LOL! I knew that was coming! Though her hooking up with Nyssa I never saw coming!

He and Sara were far more suited to each other than he and Laurel.

I absolutely agree. I don’t think the actress is all that great, but character wise, yes.

Katie is the reason I never started watching Arrow because I hated her on SPN. But my friend Chris kept dangling John Barrowman in front of me to get me to watch and I finally gave in. Still can’t stand Katie and try and skip as much of her stuff as possible. Laurel’s such a useless character! And it’s interesting that you mention her appearance - Chris said the same thing to me. She really does look terrible. Her face is all drawn in and her legs look like sticks. I do wonder if there is a serious problem there. If so, I really do hope she can get some help.

I know Moira's a bad girl, but, dammit, I can't help but love her a little bit. LOL!

LOL! But OMG, every word out of her mouth is a lie! Are we even supposed to believe that Robert was unfaithful or is that another story she told?

And Walter is a doll! I wish they could find their way back to each other. ;)

I absolutely love that actor and I’m glad that at least they’ve brought him back in some capacity.
