Arrow

Having never read a single comic book in my life, I wasn’t sure if I would like Arrow when it premiered on the CW this year. All I knew was that it would be airing prior to Supernatural and the previews looked pretty good, with lots of well-choreographed fight scenes.

As it turns out, Arrow quickly became one of my favorite shows. While the show seems to include elements of the comic (as I’ve seen online and heard from Ben), it’s also original enough for the writers to jump in and create even more excitement. Stephen Amell is fantastic in the starring role of Oliver Queen. He’s believable without being overdramatic or campy. He clearly looks the part of superhero and the scenes of his workouts are inspiring to men and women alike. Katie Cassidy, a favorite as the real Ruby on Supernatural and the doomed bride on Harper’s Island, is underused, which may be a clever writing choice. Although there is a love triangle of sorts between her Laurel, Oliver and his best friend Tommy, it’s not addressed in a heavy-handed way and it never distracts us from the storyline.

The guest stars for Arrow are all topnotch. Colin Salmon is perfect as Walter, the man in Oliver’s mother’s life, and successor to Oliver’s tragically lost father. John Barrowman is menacing with very little trace of Captain Jack Harkness in his performance. I know many fans had wondered if he had it in him to not camp it up. Wonder no more, fans. He’s the real deal. Tahmoh Penikett has already guested, and we still have Seth Gable, James Callas, and Ben Browder to look forward to seeing. WOW!

Arrow is earning its geek cred, and I know of two fans who never miss an episode on Wednesday night.

  22. I started using https://myamorning.com/ this month and already see the difference in my kitchen garden. The plants get just the right amount of water and nutrients without me hovering. It feels satisfying to check on them each morning and see steady growth. Maintaining a mini garden like this makes me feel more connected to my food.

  26. I spend hours shaping each piece, making sure it tells a story. Wearing jewelry should feel like carrying a memory, not just an accessory. https://thefirstmeet.com/ always reminds me to slow down and appreciate the little details. I love seeing how something simple transforms when touched by hands rather than machines. Every piece feels alive in its own quiet way.

  46. Can I simply say what a comfort to find somebody who really knows what they are discussing over the internet. You actually understand how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More people really need to check this out and understand this side of the story. I can’t believe you aren’t more popular since you certainly have the gift.
