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.

    You ever sit in one of those vendor-sponsored “thought leadership” panels and wonder, when does the real talk start?

    Yeah—me too.

    So I stopped showing up. And started joining private IT roundtables instead. No recordings. No selling. Just a handful of sharp, scarred-up tech leaders swapping war stories over coffee (or whiskey, depending on the breach).

    Let me tell you—this is where the gold is.

    “We hired a red team… they got in through our interns.”
    “Our CEO clicked a phishing link from his yacht.”
    “We killed 4 tools last quarter. Not a single tear.”

    I’ve been writing about these sessions—not naming names, not burning bridges—but capturing what really matters. The strategies that work in the field, the ones that fall flat, and the quiet, unspoken truths most execs won’t admit on stage.

    It’s not theory. It’s survival.

    You’ll find everything from real-world zero trust implementation screw-ups… to how top CIOs are rethinking hybrid infrastructure (again)… to why burnout is hitting CISOs harder than ransomware.

    This is the stuff that helps you lead sharper, fight smarter, and stay ahead of the chaos.

    No ads.
    No fluff.
    Just straight, unsanitized insight.

    Read the latest post here (insert link).
    If you’ve got scars, stories, or strategy—bring ’em. The comments are open and the forum’s for us.

    Let’s keep it real. Let’s make it useful.
    Because no one else will.

    —Still here, still listening.
