Pilot - Arrow Season 1 Episode 1 PREMIERE

*This review contains spoilers.*

I'm a little wary of sitting down to watch a TV show about a superhero...but the CW has provided such awesome shows as The Vampire Diaries and Supernatural that I can go out on a limb and give this a go...plus, they referenced Robin Hood in the trailer, and the main guy seems to be pretty lovely, so, for that alone, I can try it!

  • Oh, no, running cam? What is this, Blair Witch? Okay, okay, we're watching him scrabble along now...whew, that's a relief. Loving the cinematography here, and the landscape as well.
  • Purgatory Island? For five years? Yikes...okay, Oliver Queen is hellbent on justice for his city. Interesting premise. 
  • Aw, this is touching. 
  • Nice house! Who lives in a freaking castle? Oh, right, they're billionaires, I forgot. Aw, he's so sweet with his sister. 
  • Oh, my God, the ship is The Queen's Gambit and their last name is Queen? 
  • Look at those abs! My God, they're magnificent! And sexy scars, too! 
  • Tommy Merlin, I just met you, and this is crazy, but you are hilarious!
  • Whoa, Walter and Oliver's Mom? Are married? Awkward.
  • Wait, Oliver was playing the sisters? Yikes. 
  • Oh, wow, someone's a bit tense. 
  • Mysterious trunk? Yes, please. Aw, he's adorable with his sister. 
  • I'm starting to dislike this Laurel girl...a bit too I'm-going-to-save-the-world for me. And she's laying on the guilt! Oh, you bitch, come on! 
  • Uh-oh, flashback revealing Daddy is not who we thought he was. This show is getting quite interesting. 
  • Oh, come on, Oliver, you can do it! Yay, there he goes! 
  • What is the cop's problem? 
  • And Oliver gives his bodyguard the slip! I like that about him, haha. 
  • I'm intrigued as to where this little build-your-own-fortress thing is going. 
  • This cop really is an asshole. 
  • Wow, what a party!
  • YES! A TWILIGHT DIG! WOOOOOO! I AM NOW WATCHING EVERY EPISODE OF THIS SHOW!
  • Aw, another touching moment. I think I like this show. I guess I can forgive Laurel for being a bitch before. Oh, yes, another "stay away, I'm bad for you" type romance where he's an asshole to push her away because he loves her so much! Yes! I love these!
  • Damn, Ollie's quite the badass. 
  • Oh! He's Sarah and Laurel's father, that's why he's being such an ass! Oliver is really great at masking his emotions. 
  • Oh wow! How traumatic it must have been to see his father do that...
  • Whoa, whoa, Tommy and Laurel? I guess I can get behind that. 
  • Oh, damn, his mom's a bad guy!
Wow...that was pretty good, I really enjoyed it. Compelling plot, good acting, beautiful actor, wonderful cinematography...I recommend you give Arrow a shot, pun totally intended. 

Thanks for reading!
