So episode two aired last night. And if you didn't notice, Kelly Hu, voice of Cheshire and Paula Crock (and no doubt others) was in it. I had a bit of a giggle when I heard her speak!

Interestingly, the creator/writer/something important in the show was interviewed at New York Comic Con, and he said they were "shamelessly Nolan-ising" Green Arrow, which you can see with the legal themes, the gangs, corrupt business men etc. I like the idea of it, but we're not quite there yet. It still feels more Smallville than Batman Begins, but I think if the dialogue was improved and the costumes were looked at again, we could definitely get closer to that feel.

Obviously, budget is an issue, but I'm critical, so whatever. ;)


 * Anyway, I thought the show definitely improved dialogue wise, but there's still lots of improvement needed.
 * Laurel Lance, please stop being so snarky and unlikeable, because I want to love you but you're making it incredibly hard.
 * Speaking of unlikeable, I feel like they're trying to make Ollie like Tony Stark, but they're failing, and he's annoying.
 * I quite like Ollie's sister, but I feel like they're throwing away potential for a really emotional-driven plot with the drug/drinking thing. It's not being handled quite so realistically.
 * I thought the cliffhanger was great though! I wonder whether that archer is symbolic, or is an actual person? Is this Deathstroke we're meeting?

I'm still going to watch, because I did enjoy this episode, and it's improving as well! I'm looking forward to next week's episode.

What'd everyone else think of it?
