leia131Can we talk about Arrow? Does anyone else even watch this show?
I seriously love this show. Like, I knew next to nothing about Green Arrow before, but it's still super enjoyable. It's also (I assume) awesome for Green Arrow fans, because it's a really unique twist on the characters and story (which I have discerned by comparing events on the show to what Wikipedia tells me about Green Arrow in the comics.)
The writing is great, the acting is great, everything about this freaking show is great. It's so steeped in comic book-ness, but it still manages to surprise me. I look forward to it every week, and it's just a really exciting hour of television.
But the thing I love most about this show is the female characters. I want to be Felicity Smoak when I grow up, and Mckenna and Thea and Laurel and Moira and even batshit crazy!Helena are all so kickass in their own ways. I appreciate so much that the women on this show run the gamut of awesomeness, and that not everyone has to literally be able to kill you with their bare hands to be wonderful. There are all kinds of amazing women, all complicated (and everyone, EVERYONE on this show is so INCREDIBLY screwed up, I LOVE IT, it's so interesting!) and they all somehow manage to do it with their clothes on.
Although I'll miss her, I didn't even mind how they managed to get Mckenna out of the romantic picture this week (I was swearing vengeance on their heads if she was really died though, seriously) so that Oliver can end up with his magically magical one true magical love Laurel. I sincerely hope Laurel gets to be Black Canary however, just because the only super heroine we've even kind of had was crazy!Helena, so it would be nice to see her get to do that. She's already shown herself to be pretty badass in the self-defense department.
Finally, can we discuss how incredibly bad Oliver is at keeping his identity secret? It seems like someone new is in on it every week.
P.S. Is anyone else kind of in love with Roy? Just me then? Ok. LOVING his plot line.
Answer to last Wednesday's song: Jack and Diane, by John Cougar/John Cougar Mellencamp/John Mellencamp. Fun fact: Andrew asked me not too long ago if Taylor Swift had dated John Mellencamp. (He meant John Mayer, but I couldn't stop laughing long enough to correct him.)
