I really want this show to flourish, and not have online critiques of it degenerate into "...but that makes no sense because on Arrow this happened...."
Plus, I see no particular draw to having BL cross over with other heroes/storylines. It's a much better done show than any of the others. Associating this show with those devalues something that, at least at the start, is enormously good.
