Arrow is Going to Prove That Having a Live Action TV Show Full of Superheroes is Going to Be Amazing!

I’m loving Arrow season 2, and I am fairly certain the rest of you are too. But apparently, they are going to turn everything up to 11. EVERYTHING!

Holy Moley! I think I loved that trailer more than any movie trailer I’ve seen in a year. It had action, it had characters, it had twists and more awesomeness than I could have possibly expected. Glued to my seat with this season, everybody. Glued to my seat! Also, just personally, they need to put Roy in a mask and suit already. That hoodie’s just not doing it for me…or, well, not doing enough.

My Top 6 Favorite South Park Episodes

As you read this, I am hip deep in cows, fart jokes and biting social satire on a quest to uncover the Stick of Truth! The long-awaited South Park RPG was released yesterday, and I tell you without a hint of remorse that I dipped into my savings to buy the game as soon as possible. So far, Stick of Truth is as glorious as we all hoped it would be. And I am definitely in a South Park mood.

So how about we talk about our favorite episodes?

Is it OK if I love them all?

I have been a South Park fan since before my dad would even let me watch it. I can still remember begging him to record an episode so that my brother and I could watch it later, because it aired after our bedtime. It was the first season episode where the boys get into a race with Death because Stan’s grandpa wants to die…or something. My memory is fuzzy. But what’s not fuzzy is that unlike other venerable animated series, South Park has remained as funny and as sharp as ever even though they’re nearing 20 seasons.

Putting together this list was tough, but I think I have my narrowed down favorites! And please share yours in the comments. I’d love to hear them.

The Flash Looks Pretty Snazzy

The CW has released the first official look at the Flash costume for his new TV series. I think it looks pretty darn great!

I even like the dark maroon instead of bright red

I’m just glad his mask isn’t a smear of red eye shadow.

I really like this look, and I can’t imagine the rest of the costume is going to change things up. I think we’ll have a full, comics accurate Flash costume when all is said and done. And I like what they did with the lightning bolts on the ears. Just like Captain America in the movies, superheroes do not need stupid-looking wings on the sides of their heads. This costume looks classy and classic.

DC and Warner Bros. are gearing up to shoot the pilot, and let’s hope it goes to a full series, because Arrow is already pretty damn great.

What is the Deal with Fire Flowers?

I mean, they can’t be flowers if they’re on fire right? But then they’re not on fire! And other crappy Seinfeld puns. Somebody awesome made a Seinfeld/Mario Bros. mash-up for the rest of us to enjoy!

That somebody awesome was Esquirebob Animations!

Game of Thrones is Going to be Even More Badass Than We Realize

I just realized that it’s not very often you see full trailers for TV shows, but Game of Thrones definitely nails it!

I can’t wait for Season 4. Every indication is that it’s going to be epic. And was that a full-sized dragon in that trailer!?
