Hooray! I'm glad there's going to be a second season. I really enjoyed the latest episode. Can't wait to see what will happen with Tommy and his father.

How on earth can this be taking a break with just 3 or 4 episodes left? What goes through the minds of U.S tv execs..
"Of these four sweeps periods, the May sweeps seem to be the most important, for two reasons. Firstly, May is most usually when shows have their season-closing episodes. Season-closing episodes (e.g. cliff-hangers) are important in helping to draw viewers back to those same shows when they premiere in the fall. Secondly (and more importantly for the network overall), the May sweeps are used to set advertising rates for the upcoming fall premiere season …" http://www.scandaltvshow.net/why-do-...andal-episode/ The article is about the TV series scandal but applies to most shows |

This is why I wouldn't mind waiting an extra few weeks for UK pace so that we get a full, unbroken run of episodes.

Precisely. You can thank the people who like to illegally download TV shows for this kind of delay. It really annoys me
![]() I'm not saying downloading is completely innocent, but I do think there are a few reasons why this is happening that would be more relevant than downloading. |

That's not entirely to blame - we get Game of Thrones the day after it's screened in the states and, to the best of my knowledge, there are no breaks in that.
I'm not saying downloading is completely innocent, but I do think there are a few reasons why this is happening that would be more relevant than downloading. I assume GOT is on a cable network that does not pre-empt its programmes at all; hence no weeks/months off. But that is, of course, the exception rather than the rule. |

That was a hell of an episode last night I was glued to it, it has to be one of the best shows on tv at the minute without a doubt!!
Sad about Tommy thought he might be a good character to start to turn evil after Oliver killed his father. But looking forward to season 2 and how he turned in to a warrior on the island (also more felicity) |

Fantastic episode! Lots of suspense and surpises. Looking forward to watching the second season.
We have five more episodes of Touch to go. I'll be sorry to see it end. The two shows are the only ones I watch on Sky except for the Simpsons. |

Enjoyed last nights final episode, but do we need Roy turning into a Hero. Liked Lance trying to save the Glades....Fight Oliver had with 'Barrowman' very good.....but if anyone had to die, the right one did. ![]() Quote:

Yes, fantastic episode. Acting great on everyone's part. Though, I can see the predictable Oliver "I can't protect anyone I care for" dumping Laurel to drag the "will they, won't they" out, after what happened to Tommy. Of course Laurel won't understand that, and he'll be back to jerk Ollie in her eyes.
I'm guessing they'll be having Roy forge his identity in the destroyed part of the Glades. It's only a small portion destroyed though. For second I thought, "no they wouldn't would they? Destroy it all?" I could have seen a Batman No Man's Land type story. Of course they've already told us there's a fault line there, and damage has been done now. Wouldn't surprise me if further damage is done in much later seasons for a No Man's Land. So anyway, Merlyn succeeded were his master (presumably Ra's) failed. I like to think a similar scene to this was playing out in Gotham (sorta like Begins) just to acknowledge the wider DCU. Next season? Ted Kord. He's been mentioned, and charity wise too. Could see him helping to rebuild the Glades. Deathstroke. Flashbacks will be about how him and Ollie turn on each other, with them duking it out in the present. More Deadshot and likely a sponsored government assassin team. Ollie/Diggle will NOT be pleased. A foil for Smoak? Maybe Calculator? In the past flashbacks? that "almost" hit has to have been checked by the Chinese government. Wouldn't surprise if we saw some more realistic members of China's Great Ten. I think after what happened, the shock will hit peoples psyches and the villains/heroes will start to come out of the woodworks. I think by season's end, the good guys team will have fully banded together to finish whatever the season's threat is, with an evil Secret Six/Suicide Squad put together for the next season. |

One thing puzzled me about the final episodes: I didn't see how Merlyn became an archer skillful enough to pluck and grab an arrow flying at him. Maybe he had training, but from who?
I can see Ted Kord making an appearance next season. That would be great. |

Who's Ted Kord? Did John Barrowmans character die or was he just badly injured? I wonder if the mother will return or if she has been written out also.
I thought the earthquake could have been done better as it didn't look like there was that much damage done considering JB's character kept saying the device would flatten the whole place. I wonder if the young guy will turn into his sidekick like Batman and Robin. |

Hi anyonefortennis,
Ted Kord is Blue Beetle, another hero in the DC universe. I thought Barrowman's character died but you never know with a villian |
