"Arrow - Season 3 First-Look" (Watch on YouTube)

Since I suspect I will not embed this properly, the direct link is here. It looks good! (The first minute is mostly recap of last season but then there is actual preview stuff.) Premiere date is October 8, which seems a thousand years away.

In other news, Lucy was LOLariously bad. Like, I was literally laughing so hard at the end I almost couldn't stand up hilarious badness. Nevertheless, I can't wait for the inevitable Lucy/Black Widow fusions--they couldn't help but be better than the movie.

One thing I wasn't clear on was whether Johannson's performance was parody. Once she got drugged up, she seemed to me to be playing the role like a guy would have: with a resolute lack of interiority, making her initial personality (which I was glad to see was not dumb) irrelevant.

Well, the script didn't seem to give her much interiority either, so maybe that was a deliberate choice? I thought, for a little bit, they were trying to play with the idea that as her powers increased, she lost more and more of her humanity--and if they'd taken that somewhere further, they could have done something interesting with it, but instead apparently it just leads to driving the wrong direction down one-way streets while staring blankly at things. :-( Or turning into a sentient computer who apparently becomes God? Which is, I suppose, what the human goal in life is, according to the film?
