Whatcha Bleedin' Watchin'?

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Too bad he was just a one-shot character on Arrow.

[Avaitor]

Yeah, but at least that was an awesome episode!

I'm not sure how I feel about Roy yet, though. So far he's just your average rouge trying to go good, but he's getting a little more interesting as the show goes by. I really hope that they find the right dynamic for him come season 2.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

The only 2 versions of Roy Harper/Speedy/Red Arrow/Arsenal that I've become familiar with are the one from this series and Young Justice. I'm not really a fan of the character in either iteration, TBH, but he does get a significant character arc in the 2nd season. I've heard that this version of Roy is more inspired by his "Arsenal" persona from the comics, but since I hardly know anything about the character, I don't really know what that means.

Hey, Hulu has the first 6 episodes of Arrow's second season up without the need of a Plus account! I was a little busy earlier, but I'm definitely going to find time to start that up today.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

It's a shame that it cuts off right before The Flash crossover episodes. Speaking of which, I plan to keep up with that show as well when it finally premieres this Fall.

[Avaitor]

Yeah, that's partly why I finally decided to start Arrow, which is funny, since I usually prefer Ollie to any incarnation of the Flash. But it's nice to see DC win the market in TV as of now, even with Marvel schooling them in film and comics (I've been getting into Marvel's recent stuff a lot lately, and they are leagues above New 52).

I saw the season premiere earlier, and hey, Black Canary's here! This is going to be awesome.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Season 2 is definitely a step up from the first season. It's still not great, but I'd say that it's about on par with a decent season of Buffy or Angel (like Buffy season 7 or Angel season 2, for example), and the finale leaves off at a place that leads me to believe that season 3 has the potential to be even better.

[Avaitor]

Season 1 would be a 7/10 for me, maybe an 8 on a good day. If I can give 2 the same score, maybe one point higher, I'm happy.

[gunswordfist]

There's going to be a Flash show?

[Avaitor]

There's going to be a Flash show?

Yep, this fall!

[No-Personality]

Re-watching Parks & Recreation on Netflix. Waiting for Season 6 to get uploaded.

I'm toward the middle of season 3. I'm tiring of the Jerry-bashing. That's the only thing dragging this down. And they seriously must not have liked Ann this season, for some reason. I think I mentioned that on UD- this is a terrible season for Ann. Except for getting to fool around with a Jersey Shore cast member lookalike (a guy I would have passed on, myself), there is no end to what they dumped on her.

[Avaitor]

Skinny Amanda Waller... huh.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Yeah, that caught me off guard as well. Granted that  I only have her JLU iteration to go by, so it wasn't that hard for me to get used to her appearance in this show. In terms of personality and role, she certainly acts very similar to her JLU counterpart, in that she's not really a "good guy" or "bad guy" of any kind, but more of a neutral figure that occasionally has a common interest with Ollie, while on other occasions seeing him and Team Arrow as an obstacle in her way. It looks like she'll have a much bigger role in season 3, going by the way that season 2 wrapped up.

[gunswordfist]

She's big in Young Justice, President Lex comic and Batman Beyond Hush.

[Dr. Insomniac]

They made her skinny in TV/film media because DC doesn't like fat chicks.
