<p>ah ok, haven't looked at any of the forums/comic stuff, aside from looking at Slade...although 2 different sites didn't really tie in a great deal, so I am not sure if the series will take that route.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Stink they wont use the Flash though, Ollie could use some help right now
(not to mention why did they bother introducing him?)</p> -
To set up the offshoot series. This is the DC franchise doing what Marvel have done. <br />Will be interesting to see if they run two separate (TV and Movie) environments with intertwining elements. <br />The movie side has Batman and Superman and about to add Wonder Woman. There is a JLA movie in the works though and in theory should include both Arrow and Flash.

<p>makes sense...Not sure if I will watch Flash though, never really been a fan....</p>

<p>I'm still watching Revolution but like you TR I think the scheduling has stuffed it completely. I thought this season was going great up until a few episodes ago.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have about 10 unwatched episodes of Arrow. I put it in my light entertainment box and Agents of Shield took that spot on my viewing roster in the past couple of months. I assume I'll get back into it but it wasn't holding my interest at the time ... even with the Maori villain.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm still really enjoying The Americans.</p> -
<p>I haven't started S2 of The Americans yet, it falls into my late night viewing (which is where Arrow and Revolution sit presently) as something Mrs TR doesn't watch, but am looking forward to it after the S1 finale!</p>

<p>The Americans is in my morning and dinner rotation - where I like to concentrate ... Arrow and Revolution are in my late night 'easy watching' period.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think The Americans S2 is a step above S1 story and character wise. </p> -
I love 24 but I didn't watch the last series that was in NY I think? Will probably give it a try but I think its time may have passed

<p>Upto ep 6 of Vikings, really enjoying it!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ragnar reminds me a lot of Jax Teller, with the swagger, the charm and underlying intelligence.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler]Like that his son Bjorn has returned as a brute of a young fella!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I prefer wife # 1 as well, but loved the scene I ep 1 where he was trying to convince wife #1 it'd be a good idea to let him have a 2nd wife!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I can see he will have to kill the king, who is a muppet and got Ragnar in the mess he currently finds himself in anyway! [/spoiler]</p> -

<p>I'm just watching the first series of Vikings now. I remember when I first saw pics from Vikings I actually thought it was Jax (and assumed Sons had been canceled). I'm 4 episodes in and mostly enjoying it. Ragnar reminds me of Maui TBH.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's kind of weird following a show where the protagonists are raiding places and killing people. </p> -
<p>I am about 8 episodes into the first season of Arrow. I must just be keen for a superhero TV series, because I keep watching even though I pretty much hate all of the characters' guts.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I find myself yelling at the tv a lot, especially at the cop and his lawyer daughter. There's no consistency or logic to what they say, it's just whatever is the polar opposite opinion of the protaginist at that time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Last episode four characters went on a double date (a love triangle + a new love interest for the hero). The two characters who aren't together but are clearly into each other start remisinicing about how they used to be together, which is stupid. The fourth wheel throws a tanty because they went on a date with the other couple... but she was the one who f&*cken invited them!</p> -

<p>Just watch most of Series one on fast forward Milk. It takes a while to find it's feet and for the writers to get on track. Oliver is just a moody biatch all the way through and his acting ability doesn't reach that far.</p>
<p>Series two focuses mainly on one villain so is a lot more cohesive.</p>
<p>It's just comic book stuff for filler viewing but has been good enough for me to keep watching.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Meanwhile on OB2, things have ramped up and it looks like the premise for this series has been established now.</p> -
<p>S1 also wanes a lot about ep17 or so, too much of the same stuff...S2 had a bit of a lull, but is getting interesting again, guess when you run for >20 eps with breaks every month...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Started Banshee last night, was an ok opening ep.</p> -

<p>Just Banshee S1?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great programme. Violence and sex and more violence. Titties. Violence. and more titties.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>S2 is better as they dial back a bit of the crazy way Hood manages to get the shit kicked out him on a daily basis yet never has anything more than a slight bruise.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Proctor develops into one of the small screen's best baddies.</p> -
<p>nah ep 1 of S2....Hood certainly gets some tidy ladies!</p>

<p>I reckon that he showed the producers a compilation of all the roots Van and Jethro got on Outrageous Fortune and they felt sorry for him. </p> -
<p>Anyone had a look at Trailer Park Boys? Ostensibly a fly on the wall documentary following the trials and tribulations of two guys from a trailer park that are released from jail and how they are integrated back into their home environment. In reality a glorious piss take with several not particularly subtle jokes running through the series. Sometimes a bit same old, but quite often bloody funny.</p>
