Well casting was bad. They had a weak actor in the role that set up the impossibility the character could achieve greater. Can you imagine if they had cast Andre Braugher? Michael Kenneth Williams? Harold Perrineau in the role? Can you imagine?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Harold Perrineau already has experience yelling the name of a lost child!

I swear I had stuff to say about Arrow, but I forgot it all.
I loves me some Digg. And Tommy Merlyn (who is the only character for whom I feel compelled to use his full name).
And I think Tamoh Penikett (whose name I almost certainly misspelled) was in the previews for the next episode. That would be cool.

tiggy, I haven't read the graphic novels, but that is weird.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know why I've fought so hard against concluding that Penikett (You were right! Unlike me and Sienkewicz....wait I got that right first try, 25 years later) can't act. But, really--maybe that's why people thought Dushku was acting fine--because her love interest was a gorgeous gorgeous hunk of finely crafted wood. NO EMOTION.

Iiiiinteresting. And, hm, I wasn't really a fan of the character the suspected actor is best known for, but I didn't think he was a bad actor, so I am all for this.

Yeah, I don't think Penikett can act, but he is hunky. And does a lot of his own fight scenes, which is cool.
