Thirty Days Of TV: Day Three

Let's just pretend today is yesterday, okay? Cool? Cool.

Day 03 - Your favorite new show (aired this TV season)

Arrow!

I'm taking this to mean actually new this season shows and not shows I just started watching this season (so no Once Upon A Time, for instance.) Not a hard choice; I only picked up two new shows this season and while I'm digging The Following that's more of a guess-this-episode's-plot-twist kind of show, not a show I'm going to watch with my heart, y'know?

And I genuinely do love the crap out of Arrow, even if I do spend every Wednesday snarking it and it's terrible justice system on twitter. Whoever writes that show really loves the DCU or at the very least has the DC encyclopedia open in his or her lap while writing; the show is just steeped in comics lore, from Digg's name to Felicity Smoak being stolen away from Firestorm canon to all the the villains. Throw in John Barrowman clearly having the time of his life (you've never seen a man giddier to be evil) and a genuinely twisty conspiracy plot you have everything you need for a good time.

Not to mention Slade Wilson. He likes swords.

(Although seriously show, quit villainizing the only honest cop on the show for wanting to catch the murderous vigilante on the loose, okay?)
