I know there are still a couple of us hanging on and sometimes I wanna talk about this show. Especially this past episode when it had Manu Bennett from Spartacus as a guest star. I hope he sticks around during the in past storyline. I'm not too familiar with the DC universe but I saw the same masked guy in Young Justice the other day so I know it's probably an actually character the double mask guy. Also having John Barrowman on the show is a nice touch.

Yeah, that's Slade/Deathstroke. He appears in a bunch or comics, TV shows and movies.
I watch the show regularly. While it has PLENTY pretty glaring flaws, I'm quite impressed by the dynamic of plot revelations and the integrated continuous flashback sequences.
Yeah, the shitty CW flourishes (the family scenes, some of the cheesy villains) are there, but this show is better than people think, or want it to be. The first season is moving along at a really good pace, and they're handling the different plots well. I can't wait to see what they do with Slade.
It's been more then a week but thinking back I'm still really happy with the Slade centric episode the other week.
Also having a Speedy moment was pretty good. I wonder when they're going to actually start using him.
Last night's episode was written by Geoff Johns and it was pretty great. Not a lot of the cheesy CW romance stuff in this episode which was nice. Some really good family moments though, and Deadshot was slightly better this time around. I'm enjoying the show quite a bit.
Best episode of the season? Probably. Though it might be a contender with the on island episode. Alex Kingston showing up at the end of this episode, so awesome.
Actual superpowers, finally. Game changer.
I started watching last night on Netflix and I am hooked. I last left off on the fifth episode I think.

Man, the show's been kinda boring me since it came back this year with the one-off episodes and the who-cares Roy subplot. Nothing like the League of Assassins to inject some energy into it. The latest episode was just start to finish awesome. I do hope this means that Alex Kingston will be a regular.

Awesome episode.
That was a really fun cameo.
I'm really hoping Slade doesn't get killed at the end of the season. He's been one of my favorite characters through the whole show and I want him to stay on as long as possible.
This show is so damn good. Another great episode tonight...excited to see where they go with this last act. I've never really been a fan of Deathstroke in the comics, but Manu Bennett should legitimately cross over to the DC movie universe.
I finished Season 1 a couple days ago. Fantastic stuff, loved how it ended. I cannot wait to see The Flash in action and Diggle is my favorite character at this point. Also Felicity is adorable and funny.

Holy shit that Deathstroke fight scene.

Also of course fucking Vibe shows up in an episode written by Geoff Johns.
What a gut punch of an episode.
Damn.

Did they just []? That was... dumb.
Flashbacks. Flashbacks everywhere.

This whole thing is really starting to stretch to a breaking point, though. Deathstroke is awesome as a villain, but his motivation for his war with Ollie is stupid as shit. I mean, goddamn, Slade, you knew Shado for like two weeks on a dumb island, and you fell in love so hard that you held on to a grudge for like 6 years? "Mirakuru made him crazy" is a cheap excuse, too.

Yeah, it's been a faulty motive from the start, which I've overlooked just because Manu Bennett's been awesome. I'm hoping they add some layers over the last episodes.
Idiotic motives are modus operandi on the show lately... everyone's a bloody moron who doesn't remember events from previous weeks, let alone months, and hold grudges based on... nothing.
Just awesome.
Fun little promo for the Flash too.
???????????!!
The first half of season one was complete garbage. It's only worth seeing 3-4 episodes before the season 1 finale.
