Has anyone else noticed any names? Has LOST and Cabin in the Woods made me overly-obsess over small details in lists?

And Hannibal Bates too. I wonder how they want to pull him off.

Okay, I know I'm late to the party, but my opinions on the first tow episodes:
 * The acting is pretty bad occasionally. Especially last episode, the conversation between China White and Martin Somers. Part of it didn't feel like a conversation, it felt like actors exchanging monologues. It wasn't recorded as a dialogue. Ollie's monologues are forced too, but that's what monologues usually are (that's why I was glad they dropped it on DKR).
 * The fight between China and Ollie... painfully bad too watch. Too choreographed. Also, his arrow shooting leading up to that moment seemed improbable.
 * The fop act... groan. More people should see the two The Mark of Zorro movies before writing a fop act.
 * It does feel too Nolan-y.
 * Green Arrow is a character you can change. If you gave Bruce Wayne a kid sister, and kept Martha Wayne alive and made her an evil schemer (who remarried Lucius Fox) angry fanboys would storm the offices of DC and CW.
 * About changing it to Starling City... I don't mind too much. I mind Ollie killing people more. I wants me some trick arrows.

But strangely, overall, I liked it. I definitely want to learn more about the conspiracy.
