I saw the pilot episode yesterday on hulu and I'm waiting for the second episode to become available. It was pretty good actually. The main actor did annoy me a little bit. I felt like he could show a little more emotion (or maybe he's supposed to be like that, I'm not actually sure). And I do agree with Rass. It did feel like they were trying to make it like a Christopher Nolan movie. But to me, that's what made it interesting. There really aren't a whole lot of shows like this out on TV now, so seeing Arrow was actually a relief. I've never been a fan of the bright and cheery superheroe movies and shows. It seems strange but the storylines and the character interaction in those never seem the same as they are in the darker movies.

The whole Starling city thing threw me off a little bit, but it doesn't bother me too much. One thing I was happy about was the introduction of Dinah "Laurel" Lance. I'm not sure if the show is going to make her Black Canary, but it still got me excited. I hope she does become Black Canary

The killing was....interesting. My favorite superhero is Batman, and he never kills his villains (at least, not on purpose). So going from that to seeing Ollie kill people was a little bit of a twist to me.

It was really interesting to see the psychological aspect to this version of Ollie. The audience knows that he's suffering from the memories of the shipwreck, the suicide of his father, and the five years on the island. But he acts so nonchalant about it. I don't know, maybe he should be a little bit more chalant. But I thought that was interesting.

So overall, I think this will be an interesting show with interesting storylines and character studies. I'm still hoping to see some Canary action :)
