Anyone going to watch Wednesday?

Being a huge Smallville fan this is obviously my most anticipated show of the season. Even though they don't have Justin Hartley reprising the role, this show still looks like a lot of fun and I can't wait for the premiere.

The pilot was surprisingly great and has a nice cliffhanger ending. I'm excited for it.

What would be considered a good premiere number for this tomorrow? Given last night's premiere numbers, I think a 0.9 should be considered a success, maybe 0.8.

I expect 0.7 for Supernatural. Arrow needs to do at least 0.9 and be at least 0.2 above Supernatural for the whole season to be considered somewhat of a hit IMHO. Because doing same or lower numbers as a show in its eight season would be embarrassing.

Great premiere. Definitely has a similar feel to Smallville which I like.

I kind of want to watch the pilot and I have a feeling this will get a second season but I'm still pissed about wasting my time on Secret Circle and Ringer. :grrr: Still think at least Secret Circle should've got renewed.

I'm still pissed about The Secret Circle. I thought it was a lot of fun. Ringer I really enjoyed, but I fell so far behind and I knew it was going to get cancelled so I gave up.

As for Arrow I have it on my DVR. I wanted to see the numbers before I gave it a watch. ;) Kind of excited to watch it. I heard it's a lot of fun.

I actually quite enjoyed this. Not a masterpiece but it was fun.

I found it oddly similar to Revenge in tone. Even down to the main character crossing people off a list.

The CW's budget limitations shine through yet again, though. The flashback scenes on the ocean were almost as bad as they were in that one episode of Ringer last year, greenscreen-wise.

That Ringer scene was HILARIOUS.



The Arrow effects weren't nearly as awful.

I'm glad I fell behind on both of those shows. The Secret Circle was bad anyway, at least the pilot was, IMO. I did enjoy the first few episodes of Ringer though.

Yeah, second episode was good too. I'll continue watching.

I remain amused by how similar the show is to the early episodes of Revenge, though.

Laurel annoys me so much by how unlike her comic book counterpart she is, but I'm starting to get over it. Overall, I'm enjoying the heck out of this show.

Oliver Queen beefcake displays clearly help.

Looks like we're getting into season arc territory now. Great addition in The Huntress tonight.

This is a pretty good show on its own but all of these scenes of Oliver's shirtless workouts don't hurt.

Also, lol @ Susanna Thompson (Moira Queen) and Jeffrey Nordling (Helena's dad) both being on this show at the same time even if they didn't have any scenes together. They were the main couple's two exes on one of my all-time favorite shows Once and Again.

I've gotten at least two people to watch this show by linking them to a Youtube video that had all the shirtless workouts edited together.

I'm happy that this is happening. I didn't warm up to Felicity immediately, but I've liked her more and more as the season moved on. She's kind of a favourite of mine too, and would like to see how her role is expanded further.

This show has actually gotten pretty good.

Although the last episode indicated to me that they should really just dump Laurel and have Felicity as the main female character. I don't really have anything against Katie Cassidy but Laurel is terminally uninteresting.
