EDITOR’S NOTE: Rob here. Last night, while I was working feverishly on my Batman #13 review, Amanda watched the pilot for CW’s new Green Arrow based show, Arrow, and liveTweeted her impressions.
Having read her feed to catch up, well… the good news is, apparently there is plenty of room for improvement!
Getting ready to live tweet #Arrow. #CW

That seems like an inefficient way to light a fire. #Arrow #CW

One thought while trapped on island. Survive. .comnd, maybe, shave. #Arrow #cw

Mom, I’ll hug you but you smell like rose water and Pringles. #Arrow #cw
— CrisisOn∞Midlives (@InfiniteMidlife) October 11, 2012
Welcome home, Oliver. Here’s a quick intro to our wacky cast. #Arrow #cw

This show is so unrealistic. #lawyers #Arrow #cw

Tommy Merlin. Not a boy wizard. Just the eventual arch nemesis. #spoilers #Arrow #cw
— CrisisOn∞Midlives (@InfiniteMidlife) October 11, 2012
So, Walter. How’s it been boning my mom and plotting the plunder of my inheritance? #Arrow #cw
— CrisisOn∞Midlives (@InfiniteMidlife) October 11, 2012
Oliver, you caused the shipwreck because you wanted to have sex. That’s the lesson. #Arrow #cw
— CrisisOn∞Midlives (@InfiniteMidlife) October 11, 2012
Wow. Way to sleepclothesline your mom, Oliver. PTSD, much? #Arrow #cw

So, when do we see Speedy boot heroin and lose an arm and hook up with Cheshire? #Arrow #cw
— CrisisOn∞Midlives (@InfiniteMidlife) October 11, 2012
Why did I want to drive to this neighborhood, Merlin? To scope out the future sight of my super hero lair and stalk my hookup’s sis. #Arrow
— CrisisOn∞Midlives (@InfiniteMidlife) October 11, 2012
Christ, just punch Ollie in the nose already, Laurel. #Arrow #cw ps. Acting lessons. Look into them.

YAY! Punching and shooting! #finally #Arrow #cw
— CrisisOn∞Midlives (@InfiniteMidlife) October 11, 2012
How did Oliver learn parkour, kung fu and neck breaking on a deserted island? A volleyball named Wilson + an active imagination? #Arrow #cw
— CrisisOn∞Midlives (@InfiniteMidlife) October 11, 2012
Need. More. Wine.
— CrisisOn∞Midlives (@InfiniteMidlife) October 11, 2012

A chaperone named Dick. Excellent. #Arrow #cw

So often, when I leave the house, I have a conveniently packed duffle bag of supplies I can renovate a warehouse with. Not. #Arrow #cw
— CrisisOn∞Midlives (@InfiniteMidlife) October 11, 2012
Oh sure, Ollie. You have a Ninja Warrior salmon ladder for training, but I won’t take you seriously until you install a cliff hanger. #arrow

Yes, Ollie. Menace that man with your flat affect. #Arrow #cw

Ollie, if your party causes the gansters across the street to draw guns, turn the volume down. #Arrow #cw
— CrisisOn∞Midlives (@InfiniteMidlife) October 11, 2012
Speedy, play that guilt card to get free, underaged booze! Play it! #Arrow #cw
— CrisisOn∞Midlives (@InfiniteMidlife) October 11, 2012
Jeez, anyone can get in this party. Am I there somewhere? I feel like I probably am. #Arrow #cw
