Spoiler for kehrg:
I'm mildly cynical about Oliver getting off the island though. The whole point of him being on the island is that he's isolated from society. They can definitely do a lot with the idea, but might not the whole vibe of that whole half of the show get flushed down the toilet and be replaced with exactly the same vibe as the rest of the show?

I'm curious what they're going to do with Ra's Al-Ghul though. Making him just an assassin and taking away the whole six-hundred year old thing took away a lot of his coolness factor. His whole appeal to me was that he had a sort of not-quite-human aura to him that made him kind of creepy.
Give it a year or two, no decent show can withstand the pull into mediocrity from that network. If it gets to 5 decent seasons then I'll consider it a miracle.

As to the other thing, I don't know if the writers/producers are confident enough for the more comic-booky parts of the larger universe and will probably introduce them later and retcon the changes into canon.

Well they're already gonna do it with the Flash. Can't do the Flash without making it hella comic booky. Not to mention they've already got two vampire shows, one Buffy lite-show, and now a ****ty sci fi version of Lord of the Flies. So the CW is kind of shameless. No reason they can't do the Lazarus pit. Not like it would even need to be particularly expensive either. Have some green water, add a spooky looking background, I'm assuming there might be some kind of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom style pully-thing, and bango tango you've got a Lazarus pit.

I haven't watched the last season and a half as I was waiting for a DVD release in the UK (probably not gonna happen) so I will binge soon.

It is intensely Dan Harmon. You will enjoy it, I am certain.

There is five seasons worth of content to go through. He can get attached. It also isn't the type of series that needed a proper conclusion.

I've loved plenty of shows that got cancelled after the first season and I don't regret getting into them. Better to have loved and lost and all that.
I am not giving Fox the benefit of the doubt regardless of the content. So what that it is Batman related. If they aren't getting the ratings they want they will pull it. Money trumps fan base majority of the time.
I would be perfectly fine with not having invested that time waiting each week for a new episode if I knew that it would be cancelled. I am on the side of never having loved at all.

Shows that only last one season then get canceled is so heart breaking.

I enjoyed the few I saw where he wasn't involved. Half way through whatever season that was. Only stopped because I started watching something else and never got back into the habit.

Oh, fair enough. Season 4 was not at all for me, so I have been very excited throughout 5. But you'll have a good ride.

This Extended Flash trailer feels like I watched the entire pilot episode.


I would have liked another season of Community also but I'm okay with the way it ended especially for a comedy series.

Two episodes into Fargo and I think I'm in love.
