Damn Arrow, Why You Gotta Keep Making Good Decisions?

One of my favorite new shows of this fall is Arrow. I was among the group that was very pessimistic when the series was announced but I’ll be damned if I didn’t watch the pilot and think it was completely awesome. Now the show is not perfect (Starling City? Really?) but it is a great (new) spin on the Oliver Queen character. Consider it like Smallville, just with better acting and storytelling.

Now comes the news that they have gotten Manu Bennett to play Slade Wilson on the show. Yeah, fu**ing Slade Wilson. Played by Crixus from Spartacus.

Damn.

Now Deathstroke has already been shown on the show in Oliver’s flashbacks but he has remained under mask played by another actor but now I am guessing that we will get a full-on Deathstroke story. I keep waiting for Arrow to have a drop off a bit but it just doesn’t seem to be happening. Let’s hope it lasts.
