maybe the bow is made of superflexible adamantium ^^
Sure, but then it's not exactly going to knock merc killers on their asses.
I accept the artistic liberty ( or something ) but even so...

Yeah, don't quite have enough willing suspension of disbelief for me to accept that one. I'd say that his close-combat alternatives are quite limited, but given the amount of time he spends beating up Dig/making the point that "I don't need the bow", that excuse kind of goes out the window... And even so that doesn't really do much to negate the "WTF are you doing with your BOW, dude?!?!" aspect of it.
Definitely needs better fight choreography and less bow-bashing. (And let's not forget using his bow to block people using knives every so often...yikes!)

Even though I, as mentioned, enjoy this show very much I have to agree. He's got billions of dollars, surely he can afford a proper CQC weapon instead of using his bow.
Screw you all, and have a nice day!

Continuing the bow as a melee weapon discussion, this latest ep Ollie swings the bow and accidentally takes the head off a statue, then Merlyn Sr chops it in half with his hand. So what the hell is this bow made of anyway?
That issue aside, I thought it was a great ep.

OK, I think I got it, but just in case, can you say the whole thing over again? I wasn't really listening.

I saw the season finale today and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. It went down pretty much like I expected with a few nice twists. Though some of it was a bit forced I think,
But the ending was otherwise pretty good and I have to admit I didn't really see it coming. I really thought that

Yeah, the season finale was not bad at all. I was surprised at the ending too.
I'll be back for season 2.

This is where I eat a little crow for judging too early and not attempting to give this a chance.
When it aired last Fall we watched 2 eps (and a bit of the 3rd) before giving up.
Then I kept hearing how it steadily improved over the season and delivered a solid finale. Certain friends told me I was missing out.
So, I bought the whole 1st season off iTunes and the Mrs and I began watching it and giving it our honest attention.
...
And 4 eps in and I have to eat massive amounts of crow.
It's not only GOOD (and wonderfully a far cry from SMALLVILLE), but we are finding ourselves truly enjoying it and wanting to watch the next ep right away.
So this is me. Accepting my mistake, and coming around to this very enjoyable show.

Yeah i got all caught up last week and nitpicks aside, overall i thought it was a solid first season and i'm on for S2.
The bow thing still bugs me but considering the fight scenes are usually pretty well done overall, i can overlook. Laurel also bugs me, but whatever, the CW needs its romantic angst quota.
The finale does set up some neat changes for S2, notably

Yep, echo all of this - I ended up really enjoying it, especially the last half a dozen episodes, so I was glad I stuck with it in the end.

I started watching this on and off halfway through the season and finished it up a little while ago, too. Overall I like it, it's sort of categorized for me as a fun popcorn show that doesn't necessarily have a lot of depth, but is good enough I can't just watch it while distractedly doing something else at the same time.

Anyway, it wasn't all you. SF/action shows need to come out of the gate strong, and they rarely do.

I'm glad to hear you're all coming around, good show ol' chaps!
Now, you should also go watch Continuum, all of you! It started out pretty damn decent and had just gotten better and better (Though it has a truly horrible theme song)
Listen to the Primateus, the Primateus is good!

Pffft, you say that like I don't already watch CONTINUUM. It's a great show!

I have to say, it's among my top three best scifi shows I've seen. I can't decide if it's 2 or 3 fighting with SG:U with Farscape on a solid 1st place.

I tried CONTINUUM but the bad acting and not an original idea to be seen drove me away. I just can't do predictable television any more. Had the same problem with DEFIANCE.

What the hell show were you watching? I think the acting is stellar.

Huh, I found it wooden and stereotypical.
...I dunno, maybe i'm going through a cynical period with television lately... so little impresses me that isn't presented in a short run season on a cable channel.
