car downtime filling los stuck traffic work
There's a lot of downtime where you're filling your car up with gas, you're driving to work, you're stuck in traffic - it's Los Angeles, and so much of it is a car lifestyle.
good
As always, we start off with asking, 'What's a good episode?' We don't think about timing, and we don't think about logistics. We just think about what would be good.
sooner
As always, things happen sooner rather than later on 'Arrow.'
comic marvel projects tv
As a fan, I want all of the Marvel TV projects to be successful. I am a comic book fan.
In the writers' room, when we talk about each episode, we first talk about the character journey of the episode.
answers audiences develop longer noticed patient sort worn
I noticed that 'Lost' had sort of worn out our welcome; because of 'Lost,' audiences were no longer being patient with slow reveals: they wanted answers quickly, and they wanted story to develop much faster.

In DC Comics, Blue Devil is a superhero who came out of a movie.

Collider is a company that I formed with a movie producer, Alisa Tager, and we just wanted to create a place where writers could come and develop their ideas without a regard to limitations of form.
creating creatively fulfilled generate hollywood writers
If Hollywood is going to keep going, the writers need to be creatively fulfilled by creating their own things. We need to generate new ideas, so we're not always cannibalizing old ones.
hopefully life manner
The nice thing about 'Arrow' is we never say never on the show. Hopefully the show will have a nice long life, and all manner of things can potentially happen.
That's one of the perks of my job, is getting to see what the Internet does.
