All a quiver

Managed to watch my recording of the premiere of "Arrow", the new TV series vaguely adapting the story of Green Arrow to television.

It was hokey, but I enjoyed the premiere. The lead actor, Stephen Amell, is good for the role and the dude has seriously put in hours at the gym. I like the little digs to the comic ("Speedy", Diana Lance, etc.).

Things I learned from the pilot:

If you're marooned on an island in the north China sea, the survival skills you will pick up will include:

• Archery
• Crafting of explosives
• Parkour
• Mixed martial arts

You'll also develop a super-human resistance to pain, foreign languages, and sophisticated technological skills.
Upon your return to civilization, you'll suddenly have high-tech Batman-esque toys.
