Episode 109 - Year's End

This week we come to you from under 10 inches of snow, in the middle of a food poisoned road trip, and from the land down under to bring you a show of epic proportions as we talk about episode 9 of Arrow! We talk theories of the future as well as favorite episodes so far.

This week we get introduced to the dark archer. Merlyn in the comics is always trying to be the better archer  which leads to most of their confrontation. They touch on this in this weeks episode. Can't wait to see more!

Dark Archer definitely has a better mask. Upon closer examination I realized they are opposites. Oliver covers just his eyes, well rubs make up around his eyes. The Dark Archer covers all but his eyes. Interesting!

The creepy Eddie Fyers trying to win Oliver to his side.

Awkward family photo...

Big thanks to Microsoft for sponsoring this episode of Arrow!

How about this epic fight scene? Bad Ass!!!

Something we forgot to mention in this episode: When at the dinner party and discussing the vigilante, Malcolm asks Oliver if he should be named Green Arrow, and Oliver simply replies "Lame."

What did you guys think of that line? Comment below!

Interesting post I came across when looking for pictures talking about the villains who are evil copies of the hero they correspond with can be found here. 

After listening to our podcast go check out Mainframe Chronicle, The Cinemasters, and my personal blog. Links are on the right hand side or the page.

Then go over to geek fights to check me out on the Best Fight Episode.

Then get nice and personal with John Barrowman, the man behind the mask of the Dark Archer at Nerdist.

And come back next year around January 20th as we discuss the next episode - Burned!

Episode 108 - All Apologies (er... Vendetta)

Welcome back to the Rogue Arrow Podcast! Check out the new player up top thanks to Stitcher radio app! There is a lot of noise in the first half but it clears up after we yell at Chris for messing with his computer.

The mask doesn't do a lot to hide her identity. At least in my opinion. 

What do you think? Comment below

Awkward looks. "What are you doing here?"

"That's a damn good question."

This just looks super uncomfortable.

What do you think? 

Could Daddy's death lead Tommy to do something...

Drastic?

Crooked mouth?

Flash bang arrow! 

Not an impossible shot, it was just too quick to see that he shot from behind her and spun it out of her hand. It's not a great screen shot but it shows the arrow coming over her shoulder and hitting the bow of the crossbow, which would surprise her enough to drop it. 

Episode 107 - Muse of Fire

Hey guys! Welcome back. Special thanks for the very awesome podcast at completelycomics. Also checkout Quiver Podcast. They are from Vancouver where the filming takes place so we get some insight on the locations and local actors and such. Now onto the episode, Muse of Fire. Reference to the prologue of Henry V by Shakespeare.

Here's a screenshot of when Oliver throws the rebar. Obviously no actual rebar, but it looks to me that it supposedly bounces off the weel well cover thingy (technical term).

Clearly not in the street... 

Schedule for the end of the year:

Vendetta - Dec. 5th

Years End - Dec. 12th

Then we break until 

Burned - Jan. 9th

Father

and Son

Definitely don't look like father and son. 

Tahmoh Penikett gone too soon.

Episode 000 - The Comics

Hey guys, in lieu of an episode, we get a special Thanksgiving episode of Rogue Arrow where I talk about the history of the comics and Green Arrow in particular.

The beginning of DC's Golden Age of Comics.

Green Arrow and Speedy's first appearances in More Fun Comics 73 in 1941. Notice the very Robin Hood feel to their costumes!

An interesting easter egg is that in Episode 5, Damaged we see this:

Check out the numbers and the date above. Pretty neat, eh? 

Thanks to Mr. Morbid's House of Fun! for sharing that.

Anyways, here's a cover for one of Green Arrow's first Silver Age appearances:

Collected in The Green Arrow by Jack Kirby.

He then is collected in Green Lantern/Green Arrow

Then came Crisis on Infinite Earths! Which, along with Longbow Hunters, recreated the image and story of the Green Arrow.

Then Green Arrow died.

And was brought back by Kevin Smith in Quiver!

If you want to check out more Green Arrow stories go over to TradeReadingOrder.com.

Again, the top story recommendations I have are:

Episode 106 - Legacies

First off, sorry the show is late, we had a bit of a family crisis yesterday and I was unable to get to editing. Second, I went to my parents' house for the week for Thanksgiving and we tried a new way of recording stuff so that I didn't have to bring home all the equipment, that's why the quality is a little sub par.

Royal Flush Gang from the pages of DC's Who's Who:

vs. Arrow

Something I forgot to mention in the episode is that Scott Morgan is the enemy in issue 2 of the comic tie-in series over at Comixology. Check it out! It's a free app and only 99 cents/week for the comics.

As far as the DC cities and their geographical location, I found some maps over at ifanboy. Go over there to check out a zoomable image.

River Tam in Serenity.

And Arrow.

You can read more about Dr. Oz here. Apparently he was on Oprah for 5 seasons.

People's Choice Awards!

Hey guys! Arrow is up for favorite new TV drama over at the people's choice awards! Go over here to vote for it!

Episode 105 - Damaged

There was a stupid amount of problems recording this week. Well there was one. Google+ kept dropping me from the call and as such there are a few moments where it jumps a bit. I apologize for this, but I did my best to make it coherent. Please click on the donate button on the right of the blog to help out with the production costs. Leave us a message and we'll mention you as a sponsor on the show! Thanks for listening!

Yao Fei. Not Panda Bear" Grylls

Oliver Queen has a habit of getting caught. Example of the great juxtapositional moments in this episode.

This is what I heard when Ollie was explaining why he looked at the camera.

Here's the Diggle gif.

 

Eddie Fyers:

Show vs. Comic

Deathstroke

Comic vs. Show

 Once again, Deathstroke's mask on the beach in the pilot.

Who's more badass?

Black Canary's fishnets. It got pretty out of hand sometimes and went too far.
