Marc Guggenheim Takes Us Behind The Scenes Of "The Offer" In New ARROW Featurette

@batmannightwingrobin

Agree with all three of your comments!

if he's not qualified to save a city, how is he qualified to run a global assassin force.......ok whatever, I've been looking at job listings too much. I'll watch it.

A season to forget.

Why don't they just say "Head of the Demon"? They've said it before, but now they're using "Ras Al Ghul" as if that's a mantle of some sort. Head of the Demon is a mantle, Ras Al Ghul is just someone's name.

@GentlemanlyBatman Nope, it doesn't make it better at all. It's like having Iron Man get transported to WW2 to go fight the Red Skull. It just makes no sense.

You just can't defend lazy writing. And that's what it is. They should have made Oliver and Ra's relationship unique instead making Oliver, Bruce.

I want them to embrace Oliver, much like they did in the first season. What made the show cool in the first season was he was different than Batman. He was away on an island for five years, had a bow and arrow and even killed the bad people.

Now he's Batman in a green hoodie. That's just sad.

At least at the worst of times if this sucked and was tied into anything I would get it. Bad tone from the Nolan era of having to break down heroes that went stale. Now there is a group of people with assets and motives to be involved in these eps and no one thinks of these people who are growing into a super hero posse with eye makeup are fighting supernatural enemies with chin ups and arrows. The media that suspected that a rich troubled kid who was missing for years whose return coincided with a vigilante murder spree against people associated with his family that starts and stops with his sporadic appearances. That media now that he is dead yet is pretty recognizable can stay clear if he wears a hood and only gives a ray of light on the chin dimple that everyone knows is him. With a pack of known acquaintances wearing latex. Come on. Rather watch Skye act poorly on AOS because there is is at least more story.

@GentlemanlyBatman I agree that they ripped the tone a bit off of Nolan, but it was it's own thing. Having Slade train him etc. That was the cool part.

Gotham isn't really a Batman show it's a Jim Gordon show. So it's comparing peaches and apples. I have stopped watching it, I may catch up later though.

The problem with Arrow is it's starting to become a typical CW show. Lots of "romance" and idiotic plot lines that no one would do.

I mean, why would Oliver, go save Merlin and risk being caught and killed just to save his sister's "soul". Telling the League of Merlin's misdeeds is about is bad as testifying on a witness stand. Sure The stretched the truth a bit saying he killed her when Thea actually pulled the bow back but he was controlling her so... yeah. He still killed her. And so why does Oliver want to save him again?

Also why did Merlin want her dead anyway? Wasn't he in trouble with the League enough already? And if he loves his daughter, why would he make them be in more trouble by killing one of their members?

Sorry, but none of this season makes any sense.

If you can explain that to me please do so. Maybe I haven't been watching closely enough...

"Rather watch Skye act poorly on AOS"

The girl's indeed terrible. Smokin' body, though.
