Another video clip from EW PopFest (where the panel debates who would win in a superhero vs superhero fight)... MB: "She's got heat vision. She flies!" SA: "Experience... Experience. I'll let you two destroy each other and then I'll come in and mop up." EW Popfest - CW Arrowverse Panel | Supergirl vs Flash vs Arrow Published on Oct 31, 2016, by TheDCTVshow

I've been feeling down lately. Without further comment or any engaging in prohibited talk, I'd just like to post this as an expression of my current mindset...

This isn't really spoilery, except for Brian Ford Sullivan's involvement in 510, so posting here...

A nice look back (not crazy about the song, but I like the collection of scenes/moments) - just a reminder of what seems to have been wiped out this season... Oliver and Felicity - 4 years of Olicity Published on Oct 25, 2016, by NewViRe LoVe

Here's jbuffyangel's discussion of the following 504 dialogue (also quoted some comments on the newbies)... Felicity: "How was Palmer Tech? Before you answer, you should consider that your phone has GPS, and if you were thinking about lying, I do admire your consistency." Oliver: "I wasn't thinking of lying to you. I wasn't looping you in after you made it clear you didn't approve of the decision."

I just posted video clips from the EW PopFest in the Mind Your Surroundings thread (page 215). From that panel, here's my transcription: Berlanti could've said the exact the same thing about Oliver and Diggle. ETA: Juliana Harkavy kinda looks like KC.

Go to article link to read rest of article (I only quoted Arrow/Arrow-related portions below)... Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, Legends stars tease epic crossover Stars of the CW Berlanti-verse answered fan questions at EW PopFest BY MARY SOLLOSI October 29, 2016 http://www.ew.com/article/2016/10/29/popfest-arrow-flash-supergirl-legends-tomorrow Video clip from above article... -- On the mega-crossover, SA said that they had their individual scenes but also there were these big scenes like one with 20 superheroes in an airport hangar, so "it looked like and felt like a big three, four hour movie." GG mentioned that he and SA just picked up this "really intimate scene" this week, and SA joked that he's spent more time with GG "than he'd like." GG also said that this crossover is just a lot bigger than previous crossovers, that they have 17 characters in multiple scenes, and that everyone interacts with just about everyone else. MB said that Kara just wanted to be accepted and be "one of the cool kids." She had good interactions with "almost everyone there." GB said that it's three parts, called Invasion, and that it starts a little bit at the tail end of Supergirl because they have to go get her, but the big crossover really starts on The Flash. -- On Arrow's 100th episode being celebrated during the mega-crossover, SA: "The 100th episode - I know some fans were like, 'will we get enough Arrow during the 100th episode?' To me, this - the 100th episode had to be a crossover because it's sort of emblematic of everything we've been able to create and foster and, you know, help grow. Obviously, all of these shows stand on their own. But, um, the crossover and aliens and watching Oliver react to aliens is one of my favorite things that I ever got to do. But, uh, it gives us a chance to do something for the 100th episode for the fans that, in the normal course of our season, we would never be able to get to do. And, um, for that, I was very grateful. And to work with all the people that I got to work with, or hadn't worked with for a very long time, on the 100th episode, I was very grateful.”

I posted videos and articles from yesterday's EW PopFest in the Mind Your Surroundings thread (pages 215-216) because that panel included GB, SA, GG, MB and CL, so a lot of the discussion was across the Arrowverse.

Video clips from EW Popfest panel on Oct. 29 (spoilery)... EW POPFEST THE SUPERHERO PANEL CAITY LOTZ GRANT GUSTIN, STEPHEN AMELL AND MELSSIA BENIOST Published on Oct 30, 2016, by prince mojo LIVE Cw Superheroes D.C. Ew Popfestv Panel ARROW, THE FLASH AND SUPERGIRL Published on Oct 30, 2016, by prince mojo EW Popfest - Arrowverse Panel w/ Caity Lotz, Grant Gustin, Melissa Benoist, Stephen Amell and Greg Published on Oct 30, 2016, by Steam Pug -- On whether he prefers Arrow or Green Arrow, SA: "You know, I've actually got the chance recently to play that sort of earlier version of the character that we saw in, you know, in the earlier seasons. And I gotta say, I kinda miss that guy. You know what I mean? And I feel like that version of the character was very two-dimensional. And then the counterpoint to that character was a little two-dimensional. Killing. Not killing. No in-between. So I like - I like the version we have now, because he just seems more three-dimensional and more, like, dealing with the situation as it comes up. But, um, I feel like there's an opportunity - and again, this is a very important year for us because the show was conceived as a five-year show and, you know, I'd like to think and hope, and with the support of everyone here, that we would keep going, but... but there is an endpoint this year that we can only do in the fifth season and I hope we do it." -- On how happy will he be not to wear that wig, SA: "I think about it every day." -- On when is Olicity getting back together, SA: "I don't know. I just read the scripts." GBerlanti: "I'm not sure - I can't say anything about that... Obviously, they work together every week, right? And they're very close. And, uh, I can't imagine anyone that would ever be in either of their lives that would replace the other person." SA: "Yeah, we haven't really discussed, like, our relationship yet this season. But we do discuss - um, Oliver and Felicity discuss a little bit about the relationship and, you know, where it is in this week's episode. Fun scenes." -- On GG's audition for The Flash, GG said that his audition was a six-week process, initially with David Rapaport, then director David Nutter was brought in, then Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg, and then multiple screen tests including one screen test with EBR on the Mentalist set at Warner Bros. -- On CL's audition for Arrow, CL said that she did a chem test with SA.
