Fingers crossed this means we're getting a trailer.

I'm curious about the circumstances under which Laurel wants Sara back. Thea's alleged side-effects must not be very bad if she'd even consider it. Does she want her back just to have her back? Is there some kind of role she thinks Sara can fulfill on the team? Why would Malcolm allow it, and if he did, why wouldn't they be suspicious about why? Is the fact that they buried her in a pine box without embalming her not going to be an issue? Because the freaking stench would be horrific, not to mention the fact that after a year, there probably wouldn't be much of her left. MINOR DETAILS, I GUESS

I actually had fits of rage while reading it, haha. It made me so angry. The writing is very beautiful, but the plot is either non-existent in parts or kind of nonsensical. But the author does have a great talent for description.

I'm not judging him on Twilight, I just wouldn't have expected them to be bookshelf material in his home. Points if they're his and not his wife's, because that would amuse me.

Haha, what

Because TV shows themselves are fake, probably. I know Arrow is not real, so to me a stunt is a stunt. WWE is presented as being "real," therefore I consider the fights and rivalries to be "fake." Maybe staged is a better word? IDK, but I know they're not really hitting each other, and there's a pre-determined outcome. So it is fake? Doesn't make it less entertaining, IMO.

After seeing Oliver struggle with torturing people at the beginning of S3, it was striking (I don't want to say shocking, because we know Oliver is/was a killer) to see him sitting there with a broken, bloody Shrieve, his fingers all cut off after being tortured, and Oliver not looking the slightest bit bothered by it. There's no arguing that Shrieve was a terrible person, but torturing vs. killing - taking pleasure in it, doing it automatically without a second thought...that's the kind of "evolution" I thought we were going to see with Oliver. That's why I thought it was kind of weird for them to give him a love interest, because that kind of person is one who is withdrawing from human connection, not getting involved. Although, I suppose this relationship could be short-lived, or trigger something in him that makes him withdraw more. So, I don't think it's necessarily got anything to do with what kind of actions are "dark" or not, but it's how those actions, when carried out by Oliver, take him away from who he used to be and make him into someone else. Make him into someone who is casual about killing and torturing people.

They aren't really fighting, and those are planned moves, so...it is fake? I'm not discounting the athleticism, but Maria Menounos didn't hop into that ring unrehearsed, which is what I meant.

Maria Menounos was in one?! Lemme go have a Google. ETA: I know it's all fake, but wow. I'm impressed.

It's not gonna be called off - I'm pretty sure all the legal talk was just talk. He's had the Summer Slam scheduled for a while since he canceled his appearance at a con for it.

Here's a HQ version of the whole thing:

Yeah, I loved the "fight." I thought the chat with Triple H was the embarrassing part.

I've never in my life watched WWE, maybe that's why I enjoyed it? IDK, but I did.

She has an incredibly small part in that film, though (if it's anything like the book). No offense to EBR, I love her, but if there's buzz for that film, it likely doesn't have much to do with her.

I thought it was going to be worse than it actually was. I actually thought it was kind of hot, haha. The jumping over the railing, the leap into the ring, the pounding on Stardust even if it wasn't real. A+ all around.

Haha, it really is

Honestly, I've done worse things for fandom. Like when I watched that terrible Hallmark Hall of Fame movie where SA played a Canadian Mountie in the early 1900's.

Yeah, the only reason I'm not excited about it is because I thought he was supposed to gradually be getting darker. I thought that guy would be moving away from the point where he'd have a girlfriend, but I guess I'll wait and see how they do it to judge.

I don't know where this should go, but here's a link to video of SA on RAW tonight. http://mrsd923.tumblr.com/post/126390298765/amell-gets-raw

Fingers crossed, that would be awesome.

The only thing that concerns me is that MG said that this relationship serves as a "parallel or potentially a contrast" with his relationship with Felicity. Do not want bad things. Not at all, not even a little. No.

If she's not killed tragically in the past, the chances are high.

He's still got that picture somewhere. Stuck to the bottom of something, probably.

Possibly. I was just looking forward to watching Oliver getting to the point where he was in the pilot, all cold and detached. It seemed like we were getting to the point where we were gonna get that when he was cutting off Shrieve's fingers and whatnot. That kind of dude doesn't date. Hopefully this chick is involved in the Bratva or Shadowspire somehow and it's at least interesting.

So...why is Oliver getting a flashback love interest? I thought he was supposed to be going super dark in the flashbacks after torturing Shrieve? If she's being brought in just to die tragically, I swear to god.
