See? I <i>told</i> you I had multiple things! (I'm referring here to <a href="http://www.fiveminute.net/forums/showthread.php?p=81173#post81173">yesterday's update</a>, which I cannot stress enough was <i>just yesterday</i>, so check that out if you missed it.)

Let's start the new year off with something big. I've been into the current batch of DC Comics shows for a while now, Arrow in particular -- I gave it a pass at first because I was never big on Smallville, but it turned out early Arrow was Smallville done <i>right</i>. I could go on for a while about this, and may at a later date, but suffice to say I loved it. That love proved... trickier than I expected to mold into fiver shape. I spent years chipping away at this. But I finally got it done, and I've been waiting for the right time to post it.

That time will probably be 2022 or so if I keep waiting for the event I was picturing -- a proper subsite launch, maybe alongside other DC shows -- but enough is enough. Let that time be now!

<b>Five-Minute <i>Arrow</i>: "<a href="../tv/arrow.html">Pilot</a>"</b>

(Side note: Too many shows just call their pilots "Pilot".)

There should be a second part to this update: the Arrow-based Top 20 list I wrote for New Year's 2015 (shortly after I got into the show). It was pretty good, if out of date now. Unfortunately, I discovered today that it was one of the things lost in... the event. There was an event. We'll talk more about it soon, and I promise you will cry. Anyway, I'll see if I can reconstruct that list, but it'll be another update. For now, enjoy this.

Oliver: Sleeping with my mom, eh, Walter?
Moira: Oliver! Don't act all clever for figuring that out. We were making no real effort to hide it.
Walter: Your mother and I are married now, actually.
Oliver: Well, I hope you thought to end the vows with "till at least five years after death do us part", 'cause clearly Dad should have! *storms out*
Thea: Wait. Wait! Mom, you didn't just marry Walter, you're sleeping with him?!
Gasp!

You're way hardier than Laurel.
Ah, there it is.

Oliver: Cool, me neither. I have a gift for you from the island. It is a Hozen, and those who have one are Hozers.
Thea: What, a pointy rock? We have a bunch like this in the yard.
Oliver: Those are just garden Hozens.
Ohh boy.

I can re-send you my stuff, so if that was part of what was lost then you can cry ever so slightly less. Or more.
