I suppose that the reported guest appearance by John Constantine is going to be so that he can fix the screwed up brains of our lovely ladies, in addition to helping against this season's Big Bad.

I've thoroughly enjoyed the last two episodes. Hopefully they've regained their footing after the disappointing Season 3. "You took a bullet for me." "They were...metahuman tattoo playing cards." I don't care about this show anymore, but I still watch it. |

Frizzo the Clown PhantomKnight WyldstaarLet's see how many days it takes for The CW to announce a Constantine show. I mean, Reign is gonna be cancelled sooner or later. There will be a hole in the schedule to fill.

They're certainly moving Arrow to be more like The Flash this season. Less real world grounding and more nods to the comics. Sara's existence as a hollow was pulled straight out of the Quiver story line in Green Arrow by Kevin Smith. In that version, it was Ollie himself who was a hollow, and The Spectre who returned his soul to his body. Plus, it was kinda cool seeing the future Mr. Terrific wearing that jacket.  |

Arrow is nothing like The Flash. It doesn't have the sense of humor or chemistry between the cast.

This week on Smallville.
Sorry.
I was distracted by the sets.
Anyway, is The Flash gonna time travel in every season? lol. It's interesting how there's two versions of Central City where everyone dies. In hindsight, The Flash kinda sucks at his job.

I can see how you would be reminded of Smallville by the setting, but the line Speedy dropped when the team arrived at the farmhouse was a joke about Avengers: Age of Ultron. |

They tried to hide it with different angles and set decorations, but they weren't fooling anyone. You can also see these same places in episodes of The X-Files from over 20 years ago. That's the problem with Vancouver. It's not as big as Hollywood wants and all these shows are starting to look the same. |

I'm hoping The CW begins to consider season 5 as the last season, it would wrap up the whole 5 year island story, and just replace it with a full season of Legends of Tomorrow. The actual character of Green Arrow doesn't have to go away. Greg Berlanti and his crew have done a great job of creating a TV universe for DC. There's always room for these characters to continue on the air. I just don't think all of them need their own show. Arrow ran its course. Supergirl is whatever. Constantine, from what I saw, was nothing special either. So jump dump all of them into Legends of Tomorrow. I'm perfectly fine with The Flash being the only standalone superhero show until another character earns a chance to shine. |

I personally still liked Arrow Season 3 quite a bit, in spite of some problems. I think Season 4 is a significant improvement so far, though; much more focused, for one thing, with a better-defined and more enjoyable villain. This is The CW, though; they'll keep it going past Season 5. Fun fact: Supernatural was intended to be five seasons, now it's on Season 11.
The Flash may just be my current favorite show, period. |

That's the problem with Vancouver. It's not as big as Hollywood wants and all these shows are starting to look the same. Wasn't the Queen mansion of the first couple of seasons the Luthor mansion as well? For myself, the surest sign that a program has been shot in Vancouver is this location pictured below. It seems to be every location scouts locale of choice. Usually, the large pillar in the center of the room is the macguffin of the story.  |

Mr. Wyldstaar , can you explain to us WHY Felicity can't be Oracle? Is Barbara Gordon the only one allowed to have that name? Either way, Felicity is Oracle regardless of what Warner Bros says. |

Mr. Wyldstaar , can you explain to us WHY Felicity can't be Oracle? Is Barbara Gordon the only one allowed to have that name? Either way, Felicity is Oracle regardless of what Warner Bros says. In an interview Kevin Smith did with Andrew Kreisberg (Greg Berlanti's creative partner on all DC shows) on the Fat Man on Batman podcast, Andrew revealed that the inclusion of anything DC Comics related that has not already been agreed to must be approved by the higher ups at WB. Arrow only got away with using Ra's al Ghul by slowly introducing the League of Shadows into their storylines via Malcolm Merlyn and Sara Lance. Felicity becoming Oracle was never part of the original plan for Arrow, so permission wasn't sought when the series was in development. The character of Felicity Smoak was not intended to be more than a one episode character with a name die-hard fanboys would recognize. In the DC Comics Universe of the 1980's, Felicity Smoak was the stepmother of Ronnie Raymond/Firestorm. She only became a regular on the TV series because Emily Bett Rickards and Stephen Amell had such great on-screen chemistry. |
