Boy, I can't wait to not watch that.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...
This'll be full of teen drama crap, won't it?

Probably, but at least this character/actor at least looks like he's capable of growing a beard. Which probably puts the character in his early-20s. (even though the actor is 31)

"What?! He's 30?! Playign a 20 year old?!" when I've seen so many "OH MY GAWD! You're 20?! You look frikkin 30!"
heh
Also, look at the cast of NCIS. At least 3 of the actors in it are playing characters younger than they really are (Abby, Gibs, Ducky).

It's a little late to be complaining about 30 year-olds playing 20 year-olds when 90210 (the original series; god I hate that I can say that) had the same concept only instead it was 30 year-olds playing teenagers.

Not to much of a stretch playing an 17-18 year old.

I find this amazingly uninspiring, yet can definitely see myself watching the first episode.
We'll see.

After looking more closely at this, I'm kinda annoyed that Ollie is going to be a brunette. They went from a blonde without the facial hair to a brunette with the facial hair. It's like they're obligated to miss the mark.

The thing that amazes me is how people pick up on the buzz words I always laugh at and say will NEVER catch on. To see 'The CW' typed out is almost as jarring as when people were saying stuff was 'Upin' (oo-pin).

In the context I know it CW refers to Chaos Warrior when talking about Blood Bowl teams.

I didn't know it stood for anything, I just knew it was what the network started calling itself somewhere along the way. Apparently, though, the name comes from it being owned by CBS and Warner Brothers.

New Trailer

Trailer is not bad..

Stephen Amell (the actor who will play Olvier Queen in CW's Arrow) says that his take on the DC superhero has nothing in common with the Smallville version and also discusses the tone, costume and more. http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansit.../news/?a=59991 "It's pretty kick ***," the actor tells MTV Splash Page of what we should expect from the CW's take on Green Arrow this Fall. "There's a lot of action; there's a lot of fighting. It's close hand to hand combat and it's aggressive. The entire pilot just keeps ramping up the entire way. You don't get a break." As for the training he went through (Amell can be seen looking extremely buff in the clip, trailer and TV spot) he said, "It was the basics; it was like 'wax on, wax off' stuff. I did a bunch of parkour, and then I got into weight training and the specific fight choreography for the pilot, and that sort of continued to ramp up as we went along." "I think that when you see the pilot, other than in name, the characters really don't have anything in common," Amell confirmed when asked about any similarities between this and the Green Arrow introduced in Smallville and played by Justin Hartely. "It's very different and people will get that after about two minutes of the show." As for the costume, he added added, "The idea for the costume was I wanted to be able to put the costume on by myself. Because if I could put the costume on by myself that means that it's functional and if it's functional people will buy it. My boots are actually Nike Frees, which is kind of cool. It's leather and it's tight and it's aggressive, but I can move in it. People will like it." |

The Trailer is not GOOD either... I love how he makes a point to establish this is NOT like Smallville.. which means about 4-6 episodes in it degenerates into it....|

I would say that means "trailer is mediocre", and I think we deserve better than that.

I'm such a comic fan-boy, that I have a pretty high tolerance for "bad" that I can watch if it's comic related. This exceeds that tolerance.
Will not watch.
