It’s Projectile Vomiting Time


Arrow hits a new low, which is saying something. In episode 8.1, Ollie is on some as-yet unspecified Other Earth, and runs into That Earth’s Arrow, played by some bozo who makes Mr. Terrific look like Lawrence Olivier. Bozo guesses that Ollie is from “some other Earth.” Ollie, in true CW fashion, asks how bozo figured that out. Bozo replies, “Bruce Wayne once told me, ‘Once you eliminate the impossible, what remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.’” Hearing Conan-Doyle’s brilliant Sherlock Holmes plagiarized by a fucking C-grade comic book show is like seeing (insert name of the adult person who matters most in the world to you) violated in an adult video. It’s beneath contempt. And don’t tell me it was a droll allusion. The target audience for this thing doesn’t know the quotation, and they think that “droll” means an asshat who haunts the Internet. I hope the Conan-Doyle estate sues them, but the books may be in the public domain by now.

I gave up on the show around s04. Started out amazing, but went downhill since s02

I found it a little odd he continuously appeared shirtless.

It was clearly for the benefit of the target audience.
