Sounds very interesting. Glad John Barrowman is involved.

I can't wait for the show to start .

We will see. The more I read though, the less enthusiasm I have. It seems to be more villain talk than anything else, we will see if this is the way the show goes.

I am definitely looking forward to this starting over here (22nd for us...) and, it may be a minor thing, but I'm really pleased to see that Starling City WILL be referred to as Star City (it makes more sens).

My only request? I'd love to see Roy Harper introduced into the series (maybe in the second season), I think seeing Roy could be awesome.

Cheers.

James.

Oh dear, Guggenheim and Berlanti are attached to this?

give the show a chance it maybe ,just maybe this can be a nice sleeper hit

Ok so the show takes place in Starling City, but as a wink to comics fans will be referred to as Star City? Why the hell don't they just call it Star City?! Is there something less nerdy/goofy about Starling City? If that's the case they should have gone with Seattle. A minor issue, I know, but still ridiculous and annoying.

Otherwise looking forward to the show.

I'm VERY much looking forward to this show. I DO find it annoying that it takes place in StarLING city...what's that about? But, very minor detail. One other thing that bothers me...almost every article on this show keeps pushing the fact that it's not a SUPERhero show. yeah...Green Arrow (or Arrow) has no super powers but, neither does Batman, Robin, Nightwing, etc, etc. But, they're all referred to as "superheroes". Why is it so important that this show distance itself from this fact? Again, silly, minor issue. So, yeah...I'll be watching wednesday definitely...despite these small annoyances. And, for those who didn't like the Green Lantern movie...give this a chance. Personally, I liked the movie...could have been better but, so what. Still was cool to see it on the big screen.

I am giving this, like every other Oliver Queen-centric thing I have access to, a chance. And like the majority of Ollie things, keeping my expectations very low. I am just bummed with the constant press about villains, almost reminds me of that awful Supermax script which hopefully will never be greenlit. I am all for a rogues gallery, but it seems like the team has little to say about Ollie and more to say about those he will fight.

I hope I really enjoy it because I want to.

Yes, and I'm intrigued by "force of nature" and "magnetic"...

They're not punning toward Red Tornado, are they?

Mate Joss Whedon is a god on the Tv .Dollhouse was fantastic like all his stuff out there .There things people can't appreciate in time .That show is like a good wine after some time it will get good .The fans/people will get it .The Avengers it awesome work of Joss Whedon , I can't wait for the next one to happen , but this is soo off topic back to the main one if there is one .
People give the show the benefit of doubt for a change .It may blows us away .........

Dollhouse was overwrought crap and really only got made because Dushku had that development deal with Fox
