Really, you should be watching Arrow.
Everyone everywhere is talking about what a good show it is. Not just a good superhero show, a good show show. Like, a show that normal people watch (instead of people like you)(NERDS!).
Here are three reasons that you should watch Arrow. [At least, these are my three reasons that I watch, and, as we all know, it's SO ALL ABOUT ME all the time.]
1. The oh-so-delightfully CW dialogue. Watch an episode. Count how many times a scene begins: "Hey." ".....hey." SO GOOD, RIGHT!? It reminds me of my youth*. You know, those many nights spent
2. Felicity Smoak. Played by Emily Bett-Rickards, Felicity Smoak appears to be a dorky IT girl for Queen Industries, but she actually has totally badass hacking skillz! And it's not just me, either. Everyone is crazy about her. Over on io9, Cecil Castellucci has an amazing "Ode to Felicity Smoak":
"It is refreshing that the initial dynamic between Felicity and Oliver is a bit of a role reversal. He notices only her brain. She is the one who notices and comments on how sexy Oliver is. She is our in-show male gazer...Sure, Oliver needs Felicity as the brains of his operation, but she is also the heart. The conscience. She's the one who tells him that he needs to become more than what he is. She's the one who verbalizes the moral dilemma that he's in as a masked vigilante. And through this, it's as though Oliver is now growing a heart."Most importantly, she's SUPER PRETTY!
3. Speaking of pretty, two words: Stephen. Amell.
Those abs! Dat face! That love for justice!! YES, PLEASE.

***Okay, fine, it's not mediocre. I'm just totes jealous that I'm not acting on the CW. Yet.
