I actually got into Arrow by watching Flash. So at least that didn't escape me.

Me and AmScip (iirc) have been saying for three years now that Arrow is the best thing on television that doesn't have Peter Dinklage in it, how come you don't listen to us?

And, season one is the weakest of the show so far.

First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I was banned from here. :P

That would be your own fault then. Also, you weren't banned for the entire three years.

Does anyone else get enraged by the Netflix gnomes? The recommendations never change :weep:

I'm not enraged, but they do tell me I'd like Metropolis a lot. Lol not so much.

I watched all the Marvel films on there. It still only recommended House.

I've watched House :weep: :bleeding:

House, M.D., House the American ghost movie, or House the unrelated Japanese haunted house movie?

I liked the first couple of series (basically till the team left). Then I quit. Also I had exams coming up and needed to waste less time :blush:

But I think that was when I got a little bit dubious about TV - he says streaming Black Mirror's Christmas special.

I'm going to try to check out Black Mirror over the weekend. :)

House was great despite every episode (mostly) being the same. I like well-machined genre exercises.

It's worth watching, though there are some fairly weak episodes.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Which ones did you think were weaker (among my friends there's disagreements :lol:)?

Interestingly the show is hugely popular in China - for a Western drama.

Edit: Also Black Mirror's Christmas special is great.
