Now, sigh, I have to wait A WHOLE 'NOTHER YEAR for S3.
Not at all, simply go to the cw shows site, the holdback is only one week.
http://www.cwtv.com/shows/arrow Just went to check that out and they only show the last 5 episodes and 7 have aired, so I'll have missed the first two.
But I'll try to remember that for next year. Thanks for the link.
