I have only made it till the second episode of the US Broadchurch so far, but am determined to check it out. I want to see the different ending (already know about it) and I want to see the different David (must have felt weird for him to play the same thing twice?) but it is looking like an AU somehow? You know the lines, but the people look different, and act different. Kind of strange, like Twilight Zone.
I see from today's post that you watch the Flash? I am wondering then how those cross-over episodes are working out for you. As they are only fun if you know both universes and the characters in them, and at least in one case the second part actually was in the Arrow series, so you would miss the conclusion to what had started in Flash?
But I agree, Arrow is something you must watch from the beginning, otherwise it won't make much sense. The pilot was awesome. Although the first episodes were like the villain of the week until things got more complex, so you probably could have still joined after the sixth. Everyone says it is from episode 7 on when it got awesome ;) At least it had a major reveal about John Barrowman's role. Others say it took them till the middle of the season. This is certainly when everything went up a notch, storywise and actingwise, when they knew what they were doing. Me, I was hooked from the beginning.
So you are into Superheroes and the like? As the first season was done in a very different way, they tried to stay grounded in reality, and only use things that can be explained (with bendable rules admittedly). Oliver Queen was supposed to be special and unique and having become so by his ordeal and hard training. But now we have superpowers and lots of other superheroes and magic and this is not what I originally signed up for ;)
It's still great fun but I actually did like the more realistic approach.
Stephen Amell puts so much into this role. He often posts videos of his hard workouts. He does most of his own stunts. He learnt to do parcour even. And on top of all that, he also manages his own Facebook page and stays in contact with his fans. He even posts regularly pictures of himself with his little daughter, and he is the cutest and proudest daddy ;) I'm not really fancying him (he's the same age like my 7 years younger brother) but you have to admire the guy.
Maybe you should try to find a way to catch up with it before it ends, as they have the coolest action figures and more are coming out every year. Wave 3 in October, and wave 4 in April already. If you don't mind spoilers (or if you forget them again till you watch it) you can see them in some scenes here in my list: http://dieastra.livejournal.com/102687.html
On the bottom of the list are also some introduction posts where I just post pictures of the figures, not in any scenes.
Edit: Sorry, forgot about the Sherlock figure. The big ones (1:6) from Big Chief are already out, but the small 5" one is only coming in Dezember. So your trip will be too early. This is what he looks like - not bad! He is smaller than the Stargate figures though, to keep in size with the Doctor Who figures.
