X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

Review: Arrow (1S02)

CW’s Arrow

Caught the second episode of Arrow tonight and I’ll be honest, I missed a bit. I decided we needed catfood so drove down to the store and missed about maybe ten minutes? Oh, and I needed to sort out the trash, that missed a couple there too.

Seriously, the show could not hold my interest and what I did see of it kinda annoyed me. For one major irk, a dead body that old would be bloated and squishy!!!! No way after a couple of days (I think it was a couple of days, hard to tell, the editing on this show is annoying, same problem in the first episode with how long did it take him to set up his lair), anyway, no way would it be so firm like that.

And “the man I need to be” stuff was layered on a bit thick. Seriously, writing 101, you got a statement like that, only use it once! And that’s where it’s most effective. Takes the wind out of the sales of the grave stone scene when we’ve heard it like twice already.

But there was a funny thing, my mom calls the cop Dresden, she refuses to learn his name, he’s simply Dresden. That makes it pretty interesting.

Again, a middling episode, not bad, not good either, just nice filler before Supernatural.
