Arrow really follows the Nolan Batman format. Dark and serious but with just the right amount of low key humor.

I'll look into it at some point. I am so far behind on shows.

I've been watching Breaking Bad this month and I'm just starting season three. I have to admit, I don't like the show much. None of the characters are appealing to me, and I'm not sympathetic towards any of them, at all. It's pretty disgusting and I don't relate, at all (unlike The
Sopranos, for example).

The only reason I'm watching at this point is the zeitgeist.

Dark yes, but the acting is so wooden it just seems cheesy. The assistant is the only one with any humor, and while I like the attempts and the jokes, they just don't seem to be delivered very well. I liked season 1, but season 2 has been a bit of a letdown for me. It just seems to take itself too seriously. There is no way in hell I would equate the execution of Arrow's darker theme to the execution by Nolan.

No ****ing way. The content matter definitely is, but the execution just seems amateurish.

SHIELD on the other hand, doesn't take itself so seriously, which means neither do I. It has a bit of a muted Chuck flair, and I loved that show. To be honest, the acting in this show hasn't been the greatest either (Ward sucks), but there are enough other characters that we're not so focused on a main character that doesn't seem to have any emotion beyond brooding.

I guess you could say I like SHIELD better because my expectations are being met. It's a lighthearted comic book style, which really isn't that hard to pull off. Arrow is disappointing to me, because my expectations are higher. A darker, more epic theme just needs better execution to pull off or it seems forced. The SHIELD lends itself towards a serialized cartoony style story, whereas Arrow seems to be trying too hard for a an epic story telling.

I didn't like Torchwood much. His character seemed to become too developed. In the Dr. Who episodes he was a lot more selfish/shallow. It worked.

I am guessing the agent was coulsens gf or wife. And gave the baby up. And the girl is his daughter. Then next season we learn she is not dead.

I've liked Arrow season 2 as much or more than season 1. Amell is wooden on purpose.

Ward is getting better on SHIELD. I think part of the plan has been to humanize him slowly. All the focus has been on turning Skye into a team player, but it's been the same thing for him. I thought the last ep was big for that.

Ward has gotten better, and it does seem like the last few episodes have mostly been about building character relationships.

As far as Ollie goes, he may be wooden on purpose, which might fit the character they are trying to have him portray. A vigilante Spock just doesn't hold my interest though. Also, when they cut to flashbacks, he still seems very wooden and forced. In these scenes, he should have been more "normal". Then again, maybe I just can't get past how horrible his wig looks!

Well hopefully, it's just an issue on my end with TWC internet.

I doubt I keep it beyond the free month.

Yeah, I'm on a free month of Aereo, and doubt I'll keep it for the same reasons.

Sky is just the worst. She has already tried to **** SHIELD over before, then throws a fit when she doesnt have clearance. Just lame. They should have made simmons go splat after jumping out the plane. Then, Ward could have been upset that he didnt save her and add some sort of depth to his character.

Fitz had some nice moments last episode. The pilot has completely been underused after a nice build up. And coulson is just not making sense now.
