Team Arrow

Random shirtlessness is one of those treats that brings me joy. I am going to miss Mama Queen. She's definitely a fantastic grey character.

I realized that I tended to focus on what annoyed me about the show. So, I wanted to create a thread devoted to people talking about only what they like. -I love Team Arrow as individuals and as a group. The team chemistry is great, and I really just enjoy their interactions whether they are dramatic or comedic ("I ran out of water bottles" will always be a favorite). I like their competence, and their passion for the mission of saving the city. Felicity and Diggle lighten Oliver up but can also verbally kick his ass when he needs it. -I really enjoy the Oliver/Felicity chemistry and that there's a strong foundation of friendship and respect in their dynamic whatever else happens romantic or not. -Diggle's dry humor has made him a scene MVP many a time. -I like that Oliver started out as the Hood and has to work his way to earn being Green Arrow. -Malcolm breaks all my rules on villains. I don't normally like a villain to linger or come back from the dead, but I can't resist the Barrowman factor. Malcom's pride at his daughter trying to kill him is the kind of crazy that is just too entertaining. Malcolm and Thea's story is one of the things I'm most excited for in Season 3. -Sara is just so badass and her journey is compelling. -I love that Thea/Roy/Sin was never ever a triangle. Roy and Sin got to be good friends without any sexual tension and Thea wasn't jealous. I liked that Thea and Sin had the beginnings of a friendship and weren't fighting over winning Roy.

Love Potion Number 9 : Control is everything to Oliver but when a mishap during a mission threatens Oliver's life & more importantly to him, his relationship with Felicity, he can feel that control slipping through his fingers. When keeping Felicity in his life & by his side becomes a matter of life or death for Oliver, just how far will he go to keep her? (I don't think you need to read the prequel Secret Women Business. I haven't and was able to jump into this fic without being confused)

Does anyone know where I can find out if the Being Human (US) is going to have a complete series box set, or when season 4 will be released? I've held off buying the other seasons because I'm waiting for a possible box set.

Sorry for the typo. I can't fix it but a mod can.

I responded to your post in the Religion thread.

Snakelite posted in the episode I think this is an interesting description of what the GR really are about. Why care about people who can suddenly depart at any moment? I can understand cutting ties and isolating yourself, but the effort to cause emotional pain to others is where they cross the line. They wanted people to become violent and harm them. Is Wayne supposed to be a darker take on Amma. There's a good chance that what Wayne is offering is a placebo. People believe his hugs help heal so much that they make themselves feel better. Still there's a chance he may actually have been the real deal. I think the baby will answer that question if she inherits her father's ability.

Simon Doonan might be a great choice.

Issac is probably a long shot because of what happened when he hosted live at the red carpet years ago.

I think they need to avoid hiring anyone who can be perceived as a carbon copy of Joan. I was thinking that they shouldn't get a comedian but instead find a name within the fashion world who can bring the snark. I was actually thinking of Paulina Porizkova who was awesome as a judge on America's Next Top Model. Isaac Mizrahi is also a top choice for me.

I think it could be interesting to discuss how religion is handled on the show. The GR wants to die and is doing their best to drive others to kill them. I think martyrdom is their goal, right?

The Boondocks did an awesome

I think the show should go into hiatus until the awards season starts up again with the Golden Globes. I really don't know who could replace her. They tried having Fashion Police before when Joan was fired but that was only as a post awards fashion recap. They've only been able to successfully have a weekly show with Joan at the helm. The rest of the current panel are replaceable.

I honestly don't know what to think about John killing Jack in KKBB because it's unclear to me whether or not he is Gray's hostage at this point. In EOD, it's established that Gray is monitoring John and forcing him to do things but when John was coerced is unclear. I do think John holds up a mirror to Jack about the bad man he used to be and that's why I really am interested in their interactions. Is John who Jack would be if it wasn't for the Time Agency mind wipe and the meeting of Rose and The Doctor? Also, is Gray's kidnapping the reason that Jack went down the dark path that lead him to the Time Agency and John Hart?

Jack's past seems like it could lead to a wealth of storylines. I'm dying to learn more about Jack's at the Time Agency and what lead to his two year memory wipe. John could be such a big part of that story arch.

That's how I see the Jack/Gwen dynamic. Gwen is safe because she's taken. It's clear to me that Jack could have Gwen if he wanted her, but he consistently pushes her to Rhys.

I do wonder if the writers are fixated on the idea of Gwen being The Woman in Jack's life and so that's why we don't get him really showing strong interest in other women. Still, Jack does tend to talk of his female exes with an emotional attachment while the men in his past tend to be salacious stories he likes to tell. Yet, we got to see Jack with Angelo and Ianto which were more than sex. Jack's romantic history is complicated. Now that I think about it, Jack's never had a love scene or current love interest that was a woman, and I do think the writers' favoritism of Gwen is the reason why.

I think Ianto was also jealous of The Doctor in KKBB. I do wonder if the hard look Jack gave Ianto in Countrycide was supposed to be jealousy over Lisa. Also, Ianto deliberately brought up Lisa to make it clear how insensitive Gwen's juvenile kissing game was. Was Jack angry about Ianto putting Gwen in her place or angry about that Ianto did not mention that Jack was actually Ianto's last kiss? I like that stare down scene between Ianto and Jack a lot but am not sure of it's context.

So the director wants McConaughey as Stu, but the studio wants to cast him as Flagg? Christian Bale was his choice for Flagg, interesting. I loved Gary Sinise as Stu. I have trouble visualizing anyone else in that part. I liked the miniseries a lot and have mixed feelings about the new adaptation.

Holy or Insane (Oliver & Slade)

Would anyone be interested in participating in a rewatch? We could post one episode a week. Also, I think the rewatch rule is not to mention anything that will happen beyond the particular episode being discussed in order not to spoil new watchers.

Patton's decoy army so the Nazis would think D-Day was happening at the wrong location could be good. There was an actual US government program where they tried to train pigeons to carry bombs and blow up ships. There was another program by the Russians I think where they tried to train dogs to carry bombs and blow up US tanks but the dogs kept blowing up Russian tanks instead. Poor dogs. The Russians trained the dogs on their own tanks which smelled differently from US tanks because they used different fuels. So of course the dogs destroyed the tanks with scent they were trained with.

That could be a great choice. He can definitely do evil (Killer Joe). He can be charming and scary at the same time.

Some sort of system would be needed to protect people from people who die suddenly (heart attacks, aneurisms, accidents, etc), especially at night when people are asleep. I keep thinking of that kid who died in the prison from the flu in the middle of the night. There should be trip wire with a bell placed at the bottoms of doors at night that a human would easily know to step over but a zombie would walk right into. That way if someone died they would hear them trying to enter or exit. I wonder if they would be able to get the materials needed to give people heart monitors so that if someone died there'd be an alarm to let others know to be on the look out.
