Damn I haven’t watched in a while. Oliver and Laurel look 20 years older.

I'm sure it's the weird angle that makes his head look so funny. He is so much taller than the two reporters who were interviewing him. There should be more pictures coming out today.

SA and his wife are back for the Kentucky Derby. There are a lot of parties but this is the hottest ticket in town. Justin Hartley was interviewed right before Stephen but no one made the connection. Stephen was so friendly and seemed in a great mood. Too bad he looks like a serial killer with the new hair cut.

I just came home from work and checked twitter. Olicity is Rising is trending at 6:30 est. This will be the first episode I watch live since the season premiere. Please don't let me down! Maybe someone with more social media smarts can link? I really hope the ratings jump and all those other stats I barely understand.

I don't understand how anyone can go to an event after your nude pics were "leaked." I'm sure most of KC's fans have seen her lady bits. I would not risk some weirdo asking me to sign a 8x10 glossy of a dick in my mouth. Are these things discussed at the cons? Especially when the gossip sites are alluding to said penis belonging to a member of the cast.

So with all these differences where is everyone from? I am in Louisville Kentucky, USA. We are famous for race horses and bourbon. We drink sweet iced tea. We say ya'll. We call all soft drinks, Coke. If someone says, "give me a sugar" they mean a kiss. We are extremely friendly and polite. We say hello and thank you to the bus driver. We are not toothless, barefoot hillbillies who marry our cousins. Louisville is like Austin, TX a small blue island surrounded by a red state. How about everyone else?

I was surprised at how sad I was seeing the Vampire Diaries end. I hadn't watched it in years but the retrospective before the finale reminded me of how good it had been. It just went on too long and they ran out of ideas many seasons ago. One thing they did do well were love scenes. Their actors knew how to film a passionate kiss. That one with Damon and Elena at the motel was something. Or the first time they slept together. We'll never see that on Arrow. I don't imagine Arrow writers have ever had a make your knees weak kiss. Frankly I'd be surprised if they have had any relationships at all.

I love The Expanse. It took a little while for it to get going but season two has been great. The visual effects are excellent. I am also loving The Magicians. These are my new Wednesday night shows since I am boycotting Arrow until some serious improvements are made. Of course I am still here in the forums since you guys are so awesome.

My parents love Sam's Club. My Dad has a huge cabinet in the basement filled with toilet paper and batteries. Two things he never wants to run out of. My brother made the mistake of buying his girlfriend's engagment ring there. Supposedly he did spend a lot of money but the idiot told her where he bought it. She was not happy and mysteriouly a stone fell out. Sam's kept replacing and a new stone would get loose. He finally returned it and she got the ring she wanted from Tiffany's. I love my brother but you don't buy an engagment ring at a Sam's Club or at least hide it in a Tiffany's box.

Someone needs to film that young girl as she watches post sexy times with Oliver and Susan. Maybe if the writers see the crushing pain of having all of her Olicity dreams trashed they would fix this disaster. I am not above playing dirty to get my show back.

Alright I'm out. I thought I could do it.

It's 3:30 am and I can't sleep. I have the last three episodes on dvr and still I am watching any other junk left on the dvr instead of Arrow. I keep following the threads looking for a glimmer of hope that my show is back. When TNT runs old episodes I turn the channel. Too hard to watch how far the show has fallen. I don't know if they brought Olicity back if I would watch again. The writers have made me dislike Oliver so much I don't want them together. I did see the scene in season one again where Felicity brings Oliver the book Walter gave her and she asks if she can trust him. I'm thinking oh hell no girl run away. He is going to fuck up your life. I think I've quit the show for good.

Does anyone know about the actor's contracts? If I were EBR I would flee the sinking ship. Five years is a long time to play one character. The writing and the ratings will continue to slide. After year eight you'll be auditioning for Lifetime movies and trying to make money at conventions.

May the Force be with you, Carrie.

What a difference a year makes. Dark Waters was the last episode I really enjoyed. I didn't know how I would get through the winter break. Then it all turned to shit. I can't believe we're nine episodes into season five. I no longer watch live, fast forward through half the show and then delete. I thought about grading the seasons. B, A, C, D (BMD trashed everything) and now we have fallen to a big fat F for season 5. It's such a shame. I really miss Arrow. We had some good times but then it got ugly. BMD caused a nasty break up but I had hoped with a little time we could still be friends. Now you've changed so much and I don't like who you've become. I think it's time to move on.

Nevermind.

Don't you watch the flashbacks? The pilot? Adding Diggle and Felicity changed Arrow from a dumb show about plots and masks. Take away OTA and the show sucks. We are never going to get that back. Just the three of them. That show is gone. Oliver's growth is over. He is now the mentor for the newbies. Diggle and Felicity are just two of many supporting characters. This is back to basics. I think they've made that pretty clear.

You guys are way more positive than me. My Funko Pops are sitting in a box gathering dust along with any excitement I had for the show. I watched the season opener live but I felt like the bland new cop boyfriend was a big fat fuck you to Olicity fans. Episode two was background noise while I posted pictures of my tortoise on Instagram. I don't think I'll be around for February sweeps and my Pops will be for sale on Ebay. TPTB have made it perfectly clear I'm not the audience they want or need.

I believe Oilicity is truly over. More dead and buried than Laurel. TPTB thought they were writing an action movie with a side of romance. Somebody got scared they were writing a chick flick with Olicity and some fan boys no longer thought Arrow was cool. Oliver can't be the tough alpha male if he's in love. Felicity emasculated him. He was getting his ass kicked. Now he's cool again. It's back to basics of a mediocre show with mediocre ratings on a mediocre network. It will drag on and then fade away like most of the CW shows.

Thanks for the link. It's really sweet how their families have merge into one big happy bunch.

Jensen Ackles announced he and his wife are having twins. This makes me happy. I've been watching them grow since the pilot and feel weirdly protective of my boys. I know they are not really Sam and Dean but I like to think of them as happy with families. Some alternate universe where they grow old with lots of fat grandchildren running around.

How many different characters has ME played? John Mcbane, vampire dude, Silas and Finn? It's ridiculous but I'll ignore it because I like ME. So why can't they do the same thing with RH? Turning him into Franco was so incredibly stupid. No matter what they've tried he cannot be redeemed into a romantic lead. He is a disgusting pathetic mess. I love RH and I even loved him as Todd on OLTL. Which was an amazing feat considering that character's history. Just get rid of Franco and bring RH back as anyone else! I'll take it and no one ever has to mention Franco again. Please for the love of all that's good and nice in the world. Kill Franco. Dead dead dead.

My 70 year old mother was talking about it. She loved the Night Manager and was all, "Taylor you go girl and get some of that". Of course she also wants to see Jennifer Lawrence hook up with Prince Harry. She quit watching her soap and replaced it with celebrity gossip.

All the shippers out there what do you think about the real life Taylor Swift & Tom Hiddleston drama? What a strange coupling but I am loving it! I don't know if it's real or some crazy publicity stunt but it is better than Days of Our Lives. The whole gossip, social media, fandom reaction is like some bizarre social experiment. I just know it is a much needed break from the real news.

Here's the thing, while the ideal beautiful woman keeps changing, it's still all about looks. It doesn't matter if she is smart, talented or accomplished. Is she still fuckable? Look at Madonna. Look what she has done to her face and the ridiculous things she wears. She isn't worried about her music remaining relevant but is she still sexually attractive. I can't remember the actor who was talking about how beautiful and sexy Helen Mirren was at 70. Something along the lines of how he would still fuck her even though she's old. Like that was her true talent. There are still way too many Kardashians as role models whether they're curvy or thin. Not many selfies out there showing off your brain instead of your ass. Edit to say; I don't think there is anything wrong with wanting to be pretty or sexually attractive. But it's pretty sad when your entire sense of self-worth is about how many likes your boob shot got on social media.
