I watched the first ep when it leaked about 6 months ago , its okay as a setup and has the chance that they can add other super powered characters into the mix (and then have them show up on Arrow) |

Think I remember the Flash character been set up in Arrow or was that something else? |

Originally the whole origin story was going to be covered in Arrow first and then they would spin it out into its own thing but they changed it and Star Labs / Barry was in a small number of Arrow episodes last season but prior to him becoming The Flash (they then had Star Labs work on the vaccine and mentioned Felicity visiting with Barry) Slight spoiler about the end of the Flash Pilot ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! Arrow Season 3 has also just started |

Watched a couple of episodes of Scorpion last night "It centres on an eccentric genius and his international network of super-geniuses who form the last line of defence against the complex threats of the modern age" Not a bad show at all, nice to watch, some of the plot is utter madness but that doesn't really cause an issue. The main character is based (and named) after this guy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_O'Brien |

It seemed ok, but there wasn't anything there that really grabbed me. Will try a couple more though. On the other hand, The 100 returned for Series 2 and that's great. |

Has anyone else seen Forever? About a guy who can't die, well he can, but comes back to life every time, working as a mortician and helping solve crime, he's also english. It's pretty good. |

Series 2 looks very interesting.. |

Gotham episode 3 was pretty good, getting much better than the first episode. The Flash episode 3 was alright. It's all by numbers, but the overarching story arch has kicked in earlier than usual, and it passes the time well enough. This is more of a watch in the background, rather than put all your effort into it kinda show. Really enjoyed Forever. Total highlander rip-off, and logic holes all over the shop, but nicely done and should be interesting. It's basically Highlander meets Elementary meets House. |

The Constantine accent is all over the fucking map but I went in expecting that. I've only watched the first episode and, though it was a bit heavy-handed and hokey in places, I quite enjoyed it. Certainly enough to give the second episode a fair shake. |

Much like the lead girl in Transformers 3, who as a well brought up girl from Devon has one of the most unconvincing English accents I've ever heard. |

I agree, the first episode was a bit wincing in places but then really good in others. I think it'll probably find a groove. I'm sticking with it for now.
