Re: Arrow

Nah he's bang on the money. The show is dead and has been for some time. The only purpose of its existence now is crossovers. It used to be the prime show, it had its creative team pulled out from underneath it to work on The Flash and sadly never recovered from that. It only finds a way to get progressively worse. The introduction of fully fledged sidekicks really broke the last straw. The intro sequence is just stupid, the three sidekicks are just stupid and the three sidekick split off team is again, just plain stupid. They're dull and make the show considerably worse. It might not have the best writers at the minute but the show would instantly redeem some of itself by removing all three and reverting back to Oliver Queen and John Diggle and putting out some reasonable storylines. We're for whatever reason heading towards a Villain Diggle too.

I'd say have Oliver join the waverider for a season but that would undermine Cpt Lance, as Oliver is similar but infinitely more skilled.

The Flash is meant to be the prime show. Even that is falling behind. Flashpoint was done poorly and they're feeling it, combined with Legends of Tomorrow gaining traction like a locomotive. They're very close to unofficially losing that 'Prime show' tag to Legends.

So as said in the renewals thread, Legends is sitting atop of the pile right now, it's ever changing, it's hardly ever repetitive. There's a constant flow of changing side characters, the odd legend switcharound and so forth. CW also judged fan reaction by stirring up a possible Constantine Season 2 and then introduced him to Legends as a side character and presumably a full time Legend as of Season 4.
