Re: Arrow - Premieres tonite

The ending was good. I didn't expect that.

You mean the guy in the hood shooting at him with arrows right? That was unexpected.

Yeah. I had no idea he was copying someone. Always figured he learned those moves trying to survive, hunting and shit.

That was probably the best part of the episode. The rest of the episode, especially the part about the detective's two daughters, seemed pretty soapy.

I figured he was starving on the island and learned to hunt to stay alive, but going up against an archer seems like it would be a much better story.

apparently, i need to watch more of the "soap operas" you guys are watching. cause i've never seen one with a vigilante archer on a rampage and fighting Kelly Hu.

Oliver Queen, like any "superhero" requires motivation for his actions, and consequences for his choices. his relationships with his family and former lovers are a huge part of this. having hurt the feelings of the "love of his life" (Dinah), he must balance the selfish mistakes of his past with his desire to "save" his city. i think the conflict with the honorable police detective, that just so happens to be the father of two of this former flames is great fodder for this balancing act.

additionally, Oliver Queen has always been portrayed as a bit of a ladies man.

I agree but it's annoying to see one guy being involved with every person in the family. The police had to be the father of the daughter he got killed while cheating on his other daughter. If they had a mother he'd probably be involved with her too.

I figured someone on the island trained him. That bow of his in that case seemed to finely crafted to be something he just made.

Though I am still curious about his electronic arrows. Not something I would expect him to learn how to use on that island. And not something you could easily make or buy from the local sporting goods store.

Yeah, the arrow that can magically drain a safe of electronic cash.
