I Can Read The Writing On The Wall

I stalled out in the middle of season one of Arrow. But I have the sneaking suspicion that I will end up just starting to watch season two when it airs because there are enough people on my flist who watch it.

Plus Summer Glau will be on it.

Plus Felicity.

Plus Oliver's abs.

Oh, god, it's totally a lost battle, isn't it?

ARROW. WATCH IT WITH ME.

IMO, the second half of the season is much stronger than the first half. They actually do interesting stuff with the mytharc plus you see significantly more Felicity. The Island flashbacks become less boring, if you can believe it. If you made it this far without rolling your eyes so hard they fell off you head, you should stick with it. :) I think I started getting more seriously interested in the show when Felicity learned Oliver's secret -- that's, eh, "The Odyssey", which is episode 14.

This show started off as brainless eye-candy and became legit awesome near the season end. The last 3 episodes of the seasons are balls-out amazing. My favourite ep of the entire season is 1x21, "The Undertaking", which has Felicity going undercover alone in a shady casino (no doubt you've seen screencaps at Tumblr). OH MAN. SO GREAT. I guess if the show continues to drag, you can just watch a few key episodes?

Plus Felicity.

Plus Oliver's abs.


Those are what did it for me.
Plus Oliver's scars and tattoos. XD

Aww, man. I gave up on Arrow after a couple of episodes but now that you mention Summer Glau, I may need to change my mind.

Truthfully, I didn't even get into Arrow til Felicity was put on the phone list. So for me, it's like s1 only consists of 10 episodes. I adore Diggle, but omg the first chunk of s1 is so. hard. to. watch. I am so glad they stopped with the VO, and instead gave Amell Ramsey and Rickards to actually bounce off of, in the factory. Because OMG THE VOICEOVER. IT IS SO TERRIBLE.

As someone who just got into Arrow and is really excited for season 2, I definitely support this! While I liked Arrow from the start, it definitely kicks into gear in the 2nd half of the season, especially when Felicity starts getting more screentime.
