I'll take dreams, hallucinations and memories for Felicity and Oliver to make up for the separation. As for the new costumes, any guesses? I think SA said Oliver was getting a new one? And probably Roy if he's coming back as something else other than Arsenal. But I don't see why any of the others would need a change.

Yeah, the drop was precipitous. This was also the period when I wasn’t seeing any captchas at all. I wondered if something hinky was going on with the site.

Wow! I didn’t expect Emily to coast but i’m a bit surprised by the competition.

Because this whole redemption BS is not about BS or even LL, for that matter. It's all about KC. So it doesn't matter if the there's no real foundation for a redemption.

I hope you feel better soon @bijoux!

NTA checks all the diversity (Curtis is black + gay, Rene is Latino, Dinah is mixed) and comic boxes so I'm afraid we're stuck with them. I really wish I could root for the minority characters on this show, I really do. Representation matters, but damnit, they made them useless, irrelevant and easy to hate.

I’m gonna keep Grant but sub out CL for David. If there’s a way to squeeze in Brandon, I’d be very happy. Oh and yeah, the age gap between Emily and Stephen is so obvious in that photo. He kinda looks like the awkward dad chaperoning his daughter and her new boyfriend ?

Hmmm, maybe Diaz finds them and immediately targets William, prompting Felicity to be more proactive.... Or, someone objected to Will’s acting in the school play and set the stage on fire ?

LOLOLOLOLOL at the other Arrow entry aside from EBR. I don't think I saw even a handful of noms but OK E! You do you.

Got to raise that bird profile. There’s a movie in the works.

I’m expecting more of GA and BC and/or Dinah and Oliver. Not necessarily romantically but this could be what the show was referring to when they said they were gonna lean in on the comics more. Stephen generally starts posting lots of social media with co-stars when he wants to “sell” something. Happened with Lotz, even a little bit with Cassidy in early S3, with Emily and now, IMO, with Harkavy.

What, what? That's my friend she also responded to, the one where she said it breaks her heart. The funny thing is I don't think my friend realized JH responded because she's got her muted. (She has pretty much the entire cast excluding EBR and DR muted, I think). See, that tweet right there is not tagged, no one's named, etc. but she's responding to it?!?! Defensive much? Girl, go away.

Really enjoyed Crazy Rich Asians. But yeah, I thought it was stupid of Nick to not give Rachel a heads-up. I understand not doing it earlier, but not even when they were flying to Singapore?!?! Also, I liked Henry Golding but found Nick kinda bland. He was just too agreeable, I guess. I found myself a bit more invested emotionally on Astrid. I now want to read the book. Michelle Yeoh continues to be queen!

I seem to remember when JH first joined Arrow and people were talking about how social media savvy she is because she had a YouTube channel for the longest time, etc. But her interactions with fans tell me her "savvy" is limited to providing vague, uplifting words. She's all about positivity except when she gets called out. And suddenly it's about being trolled or bullied. She also deliberately picks the worst examples of fandom to reply to. The ones with the screaming ALL CAPS! There were a ton of other people in her mentions calmly pointing things out but she chose to reply and therefore highlight the loud and angry ones. That shows a bit of savvy actually. She knows lots of folks are gonna fall for a beautiful woman crying victim. As for MG pitting female characters against each other, I do agree he did this to a certain extent with all the BC-BC adjacent characters. Sometimes I can't tell whether the dialogue between Sara and Laurel are in character or meta. Same with BS and Dinah. There's something about his relationship with those characters that's a bit twisted. I can't tell if he was mad they're being forced on his show or he's just that petty or he thinks he's creating great drama.

I don't think she got watered down by being a mother. But I am pissed that there isn't more of a story for her as a mother. There was no conflict in her relationship with William, and by conflict I don't mean fighting. It's just that they started out in pretty good terms and it just stayed like that.

Kreuk's shows do better internationally, don't they? At least that's what I've read or heard when people kept asking how BATB kept going on and on and on despite seemingly embarrassingly low ratings.

I have so many questions about that shoot ?

TBF, it could be an old photo. But the optics of posting something like that after two cancellations for "family emergency" is not good.

It’s from this updated encyclopedia:

Hasn't it been the practice of Arrow to give some of their more senior writers co-exec credit? I feel like I've seen that since S1.

My excitement for Season 7 is inversely proportional to her excitement.

Why do showrunners ever think is a good idea?!?! It just seems lazy to me and, in some cases, negates the character's journey. I'll be very pissed if Arrow pulls the same thing. Or maybe I won't. Hopefully, I've stopped watching the show before that happens.

I love this. Ophie seems so used to it.

If Stephen was drunk, it could also explain Arrow not doing that last interview (was that EW or TV Line, I can't remember). I'm not sure when the podcast recording happened but if it was later in the afternoon it could be the reason Arrow skipped that interview and the host just didn't want to single out SA and so said OTA instead.
