You know you're watching too much Arrow when....

Really didn't like that movie.

When I keep calling my co worker Oliver when his name is actually Oscar, so much that I finally had to tell him why lmao

[BunsenBurner]

I was watching a documentary on 'Bo' Jackson the only athlete to be selected to go to a MLB All Star game as well as a Pro Bowl Football game. They were showing video of his antics on the field from 1990, below. Then they went straight to his hobby in his man cave. He's a hunter and he uses a compound bow and makes his own arrows, they showed him sharpening the tips and gluing them on a shaft.  My brother and I both said he would make a great old villain because he can actually shoot his target from 80 feet away. A little old, 54, to parkour but he made us smile at his hobby. (I admit to being against wild game hunting for the trophy head but he did acknowledge to always distributing the meat to either friends or to charity.}

When you're binge watching iZombie and they have a special vigilante episode... and you think ~ hey I think I've seen that alleyway before.

Plus the jokes about having a Vigilante problem and assembling their cast of "superheroes" was a little too on the nose for the CW, but definitely funny :)

When in a rather sweet moment with your husband, after he tells you "There are over 7 billion people in the world, and you're the person I love the most," you gaze up at him with heart eyes and reply "I love you more than Arrow."

Can someone go write a fanfic of Barry and Oliver watching the Olympics and getting really annoyed because they'd win if not for secret identities?

They can run and walk on two "legs".  Octopuses are peculiar creatures. I'm not entirely unconvinced they won't rule the world one day. :) Check this out:

When you're driving to this year's beach vacation destination and your husband, who maintains a constant moratorium on all things Arrow, comments on the logo on a passing semi: "Silver Arrow Express.  Hmmm, probably a billion times better than 'Green Arrow Express.'"

Unfortunately, your indignant response is strangled by your confusion at him being the one to violate the moratorium.

Nah.  He just loves to tease me.  We're pretty much a walking dichotomy when it comes to entertainment preferences. I just like to share these silly little stories because he's become almost a character in them--really, without his comments, I would have no concept of "watching too much Arrow." :-)

You keep trying to insist to coworkers that the kid named Colton who was in another teacher's class in your grade level has the last name Haynes. You are nowhere near right.

That was a pretty big list. Pretty sure he did not.  Maybe that will resurface in s5?

They pretty much forgot about the book after Season 1. They actually had the perfect opportunity to bring it back in S2 since Isabel Rochev was shown to be a name in the book and.....nothing ?

To answer your question, no i don't think he did. I think Oliver abandoned the list once they locked onto "The Undertaking". In the end stopping The Undertaking replaced The List as his mission

He had an imperfect understanding of what his father was asking him to do at the beginning.  He thought he was supposed to just take down the people on the list.  Season one's big revelation was that the list was just a catalogue of those who contributed to Malcolm's Undertaking, and therefore his father was asking him to stop THAT.  At least that's how I read it.

Now, if season five want's to bring us full circle to the fact that Malcolm Merlyn is a horrible human being and should be top of Oliver's list now that he's killing again?  I'll co-sign that!

Awwww. Hang in there!  I visited China last year for work, so I can empathize. I was so homesick, too.

Hmm... Has Oliver ever finished a book?  There was his father's book of hits. Then Oliver's own mysterious diary.

You dream about Det Mayo and that he's a bad guy that Felicity's dad was working with and after a fight he got sucked into an alternate dimension. However, in my dream, Felicity had an amazing closet with lots of nice clothes. 

Edit: Forgot to mention that I woke up 2 hours before my alarm and couldn't go back to sleep which pissed me off that I wasted a perfectly good dream and sleeping time on Det Mayo.

You start watching Madam Secretary and you freak the crap out when they introduce a character played by Jill Hennessey because she's the appropriate age for Henry and your first thought is "OMFG they are going to make her the third party to end Bess's marriage"

Then as you watch you realise Madam Secretary has proper writers!

When you are watching SnL and Lady Gaga starts singing a song you've never heard before (Million Reasons) and you apply every lyric to your current dissatisfaction with the show (or at least how it's being marketed.)

Seriously, look at these lyrics.  Tell me it's not a near perfect lament.  

You're giving me a million reasons to let you go
You're giving me a million reasons to quit the show
You're givin' me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons

If I had a highway, I would run for the hills
If you could find a dry way, I'd forever be still
But you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons

I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one to stay

Head stuck in a cycle, I look off and I stare
It's like that I've stopped breathing, but completely aware
'Cause you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons

And if you say something that you might even mean
It's hard to even fathom which parts I should believe
'Cause you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons

I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one to stay

Hey, ehh, ehh, eyy
Baby I'm bleedin', bleedin'
Stay, ehh, ehhy
Can't you give me what I'm needin', needin'
Every heartbreak makes it hard to keep the faith
But baby, I just need one good one
Good one, good one, good one, good one, good one

When I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one, good one
Tell me that you'll be the good one, good one
Baby, I just need one good one to stay
