Emily Bett Rickards Fitness: The Arrow Star Shares Workout Snaps on Instagram By : Emily Lunardo | Tuesday, August 2, 2016 http://www.foods4betterhealth.com/emily-bett-rickards-fitness-the-arrow-star-shares-workout-snaps-on-instagram-16383

Here's the full context of that EBR quote (transcribed from video of Showbiz Junkies interview with EBR, posted on page 41 of Spoilers thread): -- On what the Olicity relationship will start off like in S5, EBR: "I do believe their communication is getting better, um, and I think that has a lot to do with them being in a new type of relationship, you know, past the breakup and having to work together and having a common goal and, you know, trying to decide things and trying to improve, you know, the city, and not only that, but themselves and their relationship. So, it's interesting like how we left off with the Bunker being destroyed and then both just standing strong in a place where they had inevitably destroyed themselves and how their relationship had also kinda been destroyed and broken, and now they had to [unintelligible word] themselves, everyone's still standing strong, I think, was a really good example about where they're going to go, because they end up staying in it and they clean it up and they start, you know, moving around each other obviously in a different way. But, um, their dance will be a little different, but I think it's growing." At Arc Con on June 25, 2016 (video posted on page 428 of Social Media thread), Michael Rowe said: "I think that, in the comic book, [Deadshot] is the hardest person to kill. So I would say, with confidence, that you have not seen the last of him." He then mentioned that Earth-2 Floyd also got killed.

I guess I'm in the minority on this one, but I have no desire to see Suicide Squad. It just doesn't appeal to me - don't know why (shrug). And the promos just come across as trying too hard to be cool. ETA: It currently has a 36% critics score at Rotten Tomatoes... https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/suicide_squad_2016

Actually, I was thinking recently that The Flash is more like Harry Potter. It's the story about a boy who grew up without his bio parents, living in a "foster" home, but who always wished that he had his parents back. The new Flashpoint reality of happy Barry living with his bio parents is like Harry's happy vision of standing with his bio parents in the Mirror of Erised. Also, the boy discovers that he has magical powers/superpowers and that he's special. Will he use those powers for good or evil? And the Reverse Flash is like Barry's Voldemort.

It sounds like it'll be a surprise.

Huh - voting for EW's Fall TV Cover Battle closed early! The site originally said that voting would end on Aug. 1st... http://www.ew.com/special/fall-tv-cover-battle

As we know, both Damien Darhk and Malcolm Merlyn will be returning to appear on LoT as part of the Legion of Doom (as well as Leonard Snart) and that Sara will have grudges against both of them - Darhk for killing Laurel, and Malcolm for killing Sara. She will especially want to avenge her sister's death. We also know that we'll meet Darhk in 1942 and presumably we'll meet Malcolm in the past as well. Both Darhk and Snart are dead in the present time. But here's the thing - we already know that Sara cannot kill either Darhk or Malcolm in the past. If she kills Darhk in the past, then he and his Ghosts never come to Star City - then Team Arrowless never ask Oliver for help, Oliver & Felicity stay in Ivy Town and get married, and Oliver never becomes Green Arrow. If she kills Malcolm in the past, he never drugs Thea to kill Sara - then Sara never dies, Laurel never becomes Black Canary, Sara never becomes White Canary, Laurel never dies, and Arrow's whole S5 theme of legacy goes out the window. Or maybe Thea never exists at all.

SG was also at Comic Con Honolulu - here's her full panel (posted on youtube by Summer-Glau.Net) - she mostly talked about Firefly/Serenity, but a little bit about Arrow... -- Fan asked if she wished she had more screen time as Isabel Rochev on Arrow because when she was first cast, it sounded like her role would be bigger. SG said that when her first episode aired, she watched it and hated it. She was so uncomfortable with her character because it was so different from her and her previous roles. She described Isabel as a "businesswoman" who was "so confident and elegant and grown up". She felt like she wasn't connecting with the character. Then she just tried to get into the character more and started "enjoying it more and more." Then they turned Isabel into Ravager and "it was like 'Bingo! Finally! I can do this.'" Then they kept killing her character. "And that's the truth about that character." -- Fan asked what was the most uncomfortable costume she's had to wear so far. SG responded: "Ravager. Ravager. Ravager... They weren't leather, they were pleather. They were pleather pants and they were so tight that Val - my husband was visiting - I would have to get them most of the way on and he would have to lift me up off the ground and like shift me (uses hands to demonstrate shaking up and down) ... then suspenders on, like this, to keep them up, and then I have the whole vest and the whole thing... and then that - the head piece - I had to shimmy that on. And, um, I would just take asperins as I was working so that at the end of the night I could do that. But it worked for the character because when I put it on, it automatically 'Hahhhh.'" -- Non-Arrow related but interesting: Fan noted that she's played a lot of badass women and asked if she considered herself a "feminist role model." SG responded that she thought that would not be up to her and that it would be "in the eye of the beholder." She also said that she's the oldest of three sisters and that all three of them would consider themselves "empowered women," but they're all completely different types of women. She said that she and her sisters all express themselves differently in terms of their strengths and independence. She also said that she won't take roles where she read the script and felt "denied." She chooses roles that make her feel "good", but that doesn't mean that her character has to "save the day" - she can be a damaged person. But she doesn't want roles where "the girl feels like an accessory" or is the "B-plot" - that's when the woman is not empowered. She said that Joss Whedon has always been good about writing empowered women.

Yes, that's completely different and not copying Marvel at all... Suicide Squad Mid-Credits Scene Confirmed Lucas Siegel 07/28/16 http://comicbook.com/dc/2016/07/29/suicide-squad-mid-credits-scene-confirmed/

FYI: Arrow did not win anything at the 2016 Teen Choice Awards show, which aired last night (as posted in the Mind Your Surroundings thread, GG won Choice TV Actor: Sci-Fi/Fantasy)... -- Arrow and Flash had both been nominated for Choice TV Show: Sci-Fi/Fantasy, but lost to Once Upon a Time. -- EBR had been nominated for Choice TV Actress: Sci-Fi/Fantasy, but lost to Lana Parilla (OUaT). -- EBR & SA had been nominated for Choice TV: Liplock, but lost to Jennifer Morrison & Colin O'Donoghue (OUaT). http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists/teen-choice-awards-2016-winners-916007/item/tca-action-actor-915623
