Ditch Fahrenheit

Watched Episode 4 last night. I'm starting to really like this show. PS - This show seems to be having an impact on the market. Last week I sold off all my old Green Arrow comics on eBay. They hadn't had a nibble in over a year.

As much as I didn't want to - I'll be posting an "Artwork Seen On The Following" in my descriptions. Oh man, don't even feel bad about self-promotion. It comes with the territory. I'd venture to say it's not only expected, it's mandatory. Strike while the iron is hot!

That's fantastic! I hope you get a link set up on your studio website and capitalize on some of this media attention.

you did that? No. I can't draw for squat.

Thought this was cool.

(thumbs u Yup. That was the best so far.

Diggle the bodyguard, Andy Diggle wrote Green Arrow Year One They also had a father and daughter in Ep. 2 with the last name Nocenti. (I assume after Ann Nocenti) The show is riddled with easter eggs. Felicity Smoak was the IT employee working for Queen Industries and helped access the hard drive in the laptop that was shot up. In the comics, Smoak is a supporting character of Firestorm.

That's the address for DC Comics.

Absolutely! 5.2 Reasons to Look Forward to the First Season of Arrow

Me too. It would have been a little unbelievable if they had kept that up. I'm guessing he may end up as an Alfred-type sidekick, covering tracks at home and at the hideout/club.

Just watched Episode 3. Well, Deadshot didn't last long. This was a good episode, much better than the last. I was almost ready to stop watching, but have my hopes up again. The island flashback scenes should prove interesting in future episodes. All in all, I'm liking it.

I'm curious about that too. On one level, other artists may view him as nothing more than a human dot matrix printer, but his work is still amazing.

Look like she has a nice oven.

Just had to share this. It's making the rounds on the internet. This is a drawing, not a photograph. This is from Diego Fazio, a 22 year old self-taught artist living in Italy. He began his career designing tattoos and perfected his photorealism technique over a period of several years.

I watched the second episode last night. So far, I'm lukewarm about the show. I'm hoping that maybe it just hasn't hit its stride yet. Some of the acting is not stellar. Some of the writing falls into the unlikely, unbelievable or stereotypical categories. Some of the characters have no depth and are two dimensional, especially the villains. I thought the second fight scene with China White was really cheesy and poorly executed. As a character, she looks like an Asian Catwoman with a really bad blonde wig. Amell looks great as Queen, but his voice is way too high, especially when he's shouting. On the plus side, the cinematography, editing and pacing are excellent. This show is attracting a strong audience. The pilot was CW's highest rated show in 3 years. The user ratings have dropped a bit from the pilot, but are still high. I'm hoping it gets better soon, I was really looking forward to it.

What business model are you using? I've never heard of one that encourages you to destroy your sales channels. Returns are a cost of doing business, regardless of fault. If you can't handle that you shouldn't be in the customer service business of comic books sales. Take the book back, refund his money, and sell it to someone else at the proper grade.

By the time you get it back, Bronze will be the new Silver.

Where have you been the last 7 years? You should start from season one. Great stuff. I first saw part of an episode about 5 years ago. Thought it was interesting but never watched. Then a year or so ago I watched a rerun of the season premiere of season 4. I thought it was good but didn't follow up. I then saw it appear in Netflix instant and dragged my actually starting it but once I did I blew through it in 2 or 3 months. If you like the X-Files you will probably like this. It has monster of the week episodes and instead of a running alien mythos storyline there is running demon storyline that pretty much evolves into a season or two storyline. The show is pretty funny a lot of the time. There is awesome pop culture references to movies and music and if a storyline is "ripping off" a previous notable work they often joke about the source material. I thought seasons 1-6 were the best. I found season 7 to be a let down. The Leviathans were kind of lame and so were their plans. Plus they hardly used Castiel who had become a break out character...what the hell are they thinking. Plus i felt thy offed one too many support characters which could have made season 7 a bit stronger. They also sink up some good classic rock songs to scenes in the show pretty well most of the time. Styx Renegade, Dylan's Knockin on Heavens Door, and Jefferson Starships Miracles were some of the best. The last had an in episode joke for even using Jefferson Starship and the song fit well with the big reveal at the end of the episode. Definitely some funny stuff like the Deliverance references in The Benders episode. Castiel's dead pan cell phone problems, to Deans comment about cherubs, and the episode where he watches porn were great. Oh yeah and the last episode had Thor's Hammer. I kind of wonder if Sam kept it or it will simply disappear and be forgotten. It would be a good time for Thor to finally make an appearance on the show since Odin and "Loki" already appeared. I pretty much agree with everything you wrote. The show started out with them killing off the monster of the week, but has gotten much better with the larger story lines surrounding angel politics, the absence of God, the rise of demonic forces, the control of earth, the needs of the many outweighing the few, etc. The show has a high testosterone count. It's definitely a "guy show," as compared to Vampire Diaries which is clearly written more for a female audience. It is also very clearly using the Batman mythos, re-imagined with strong biblical and pagan underpinnings though a Gaiman-esque lens. Dean: Batman Sam: Robin Sam on his own: Nightwing Impala: Batmobile Bobby: Alfred Bobby's House: Batcave Castiel and the angels: Gordon and the police Crowley: Joker? Parents killed by forces of evil etc., etc. Add rock soundtracks, cheeseburgers and pie...what's not to love? It's easily one of my favorite shows on TV.
