SUNDAY BLOGDAY : ARROW/FLASH TV SHOW

This will be a new start of a new blog post that I want to start each week on Sunday's. There is "Fun Day Sunday," why the hell not start Sunday Blogday? This blog post each week will consist of what I've been watching or what I've been listening to and so fourth. So lets kick this off and jump straight into what I've been really watching as of late.

ARROW/FLASH TV SHOW

When Arrow premiered on The CW network I had to check out what they were going to do with DC's Green Arrow. I was happy with how The Green Arrow was per-traded on Smallville a few years back. When I heard they were going to give this character his own show I had to check it out and see if this would be a hit or miss for me. If the bottom of the latter was a miss I could always go back to my Smallville DVD collection of all ten seasons I have an remember how the Green Arrow would forever be. After watch the first few episodes of the first season I was hooked.

I loved in the first season how Oliver Queen was dark at times with still on his own one man mission to clean up Star City and do the wrongs of his father. I was impressed with how Arrow took cheesy comic book villains and turned them into bad ass pissed off persona's. I liked the flash backs that showed how Oliver tried to survive on an isolated island from a ship wreak for five years. I like how it builds to what is happening in the present moment on how he dealt with what bad guy he was up against or how to help the ones around him. This still goes on from back and fourth in it's fourth season. To me it don't look like Arrow will be slowing down anytime soon.

With Oliver Queen battling the likes of major villains and trying to maintain his sanity with all around him, he does find time for some romance with Felicity and letting people in must really hit hard with someone who just wants to see the light of day for a city that is crime free from all of those who think they can just roll up in his city and make it there playground are in store when the Green Arrow stops there plans of taking over.

Each season so far has shown Oliver Queen evolve as well as the supporting cast become more then just a stand in to help with a punch or kick to the bad guys when the going gets tough. I love how each character has there moment in the bliss of Oliver and how he is learning that it's not bad to have someone watching your back. I am looking forward to seeing where the story will go when the set up for the next spin off takes off. I think Oliver will have his match this season with Damion Dark as he has so far not faced a foe like him. Green Arrow will come out on top as always but seeing the journey is the fun part taking in the good and the bad that happen to defeat the greater bad and have the greater good come out on top. Unless they leave it on a cliff hanger then I'll just count down the days for when it comes back on and see what happens next.

THE FLASH

When they introduced Barry Alen who becomes The Flash, I was exited to see that Arrow will finally get it's own spin-off. I didn't know how they could pull off a show with The Flash coming out of the dark world of Arrow. After watching the first few episodes of the first season I knew that they would have to go this route with The Flash, why would they not?

What I'm talking about is how The Flash's Barry Allen is light hearted with being given powers to do right for his city. Barry is opisite of Oliver Queen's dark persona on Arrow with Barry's clean cut do what is best. Now there was times where Barry wasn't or had any problems getting his hand dirty with what was going on with The Reverse Flash to trying to clear his dad of a crime he did not comment. Barry's romance is more of a puppy love for Iris then of Qliver Queen's lust of I must have with Felicity on Arrow.

On The Flash they didn't waste anytime with having Iris find out that Barry was The Flash unlike waiting for Lana Lang to find out Clark Kent on Smalliville's sixth season that he had powers. I like the build up then just going with yes I have powers and I'm The Flash. I know it took to about the second season for Laural to find out Oliver was the Arrow. With Barry going back and fourth on how he feels with Iris he makes time with his team to take out bad guys and find out the darker truth behind what went down on season one of The Flash.

Now with season two underway it looks like they are taking a dip here and there for some tid bits of dark happenings on the show. I love how Barry is growing into being The Flash with learning new ways for his powers. Barry tried out some things with this season's villain Zoom. This will be a challenge for him to take out someone who moves a little bit faster then him. Looking forward with this story line for the season and how the cross over with The Flash and Arrow sets up the next spin-off called Legends Of Tomorrow.

Take supporting heroes and villains from both Arrow and The Flash and throw them together and what do you get? You get Legends Of Tomorrow. This will be interesting seeing how this group will work together on being the heroes that will be talked about in the future as they take there course of action and stop whatever evil lurks towards them.

My favorite supporting characters from Arrow and The Flash as well as my favorite villains from The Flash team up in a new series looks awesome. Look forward to seeing this later next year.

BOTTOM LINE

I enjoy watching both these shows each week when they come on and will be watching Legends Of Tomorrow next year. For quit sometime I stopped watching Arrow when it got to it's mid-season point back in season two and never could get caught up. Thank god that netflix put up Arrow and The Flash as I jumped back in and got caught up and now glad that I did. If you haven't seen or you are looking for something new to watch then I suggest that you give this a try, you will not be disappointed with two good shows with good leads and a good supporting cast that makes the middle of the week worth wild.

If you haven't picked up Arrow season 1-3 or The Flash season 1, then get them here.
