Non-spoilery posts at http://marcguggenheim.tumblr.com/ (spoilery posts have been added to the Spoilers thread, b-t-s posts have been added to the Slings and Arrows thread, and a comics post has been added to the Green Arrow in Comics thread)... I've discovered that this forum has a 10-quotes-per-post maximum. So anything arguably b-t-s was included in my Slings and Arrows posting.

Considering that Oliver is in civilian clothes and living a normal life during the 3.5 hiatus, I'm not sure what this comic would be about - unless it's just the crime-fighting adventures of Diggle, Laurel and Thea in SC... http://marcguggenheim.tumblr.com/

Once again, it's like Laura Hurley pulled the thoughts right out of my head and then articulated them better than I could have.

"Arrow" star Stephen Amell gets a match at SummerSlam: Raw, Aug. 10, 2015 WWE SummerSlam 2015: Multiple Matches Announced During Aug. 10 Episode of Raw By Joseph Zucker Aug 10, 2015 http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2544819-wwe-summerslam-2015-multiple-matches-announced-during-aug-10-episode-of-raw

They're never going to get rid of flashbacks now that present-day Oliver (and consequently the show) is going lighter. The flashbacks allow MG to indulge in his dark side and make at least portions of the show very dark - which he seems to prefer - and also provide plenty of opportunity to give Oliver multiple love interests - which some fans seem to prefer. ETA: I don't know that they can make Oliver too dark in the flashbacks. I was under the impression that what he did as Al Sah-Him was supposed to be darker than anything he's ever done before.

Laura Hurley defends S3 Oliver... anonymous asks: S3 caused me pretty much to hate Oliver's guts. Not only did he unilaterally decide everything for everyone, he put them in danger (the a/o inoculation was not 100%...Akio died) without their consent or knowledge, and there is no reasonable argument that he should not have told DIGGLE about his plan to infiltrate and destroy the LOA. He was dumb as a doorknob all season, telling Nyssa that Thea was Malcolm's daughter for no reason and not handing over Malcolm's head on a platter.

In S1 of TWD, Stephen Yeun and Chandler Riggs were in the first tier of opening credits, while Norman Reedus was in the secondary tier of credits. But NR has jumped past SY and CR to become second billed in the first tier of opening credits. (SY's and CR's characters are still alive on the show.) So if you remove all the actors whose characters were killed off, SY should be second billed while CR should be third billed.
