tv echo

Since MG has said that they do look at Nielsen TV Ratings (despite the flaws of that system), I went back and collected all of the final, adjusted numbers for Season 3 episodes and listed them here -- first number is Adults 18-49 Demo, and second number is Total Viewers (millions)... 3.01 The Calm 1.0 2.83 3.02 Sara 0.8 2.32 3.03 Corto Maltese 0.9 2.55 3.04 The Magician 1.0 2.49 3.05 The Secret Origin of Felicity Smoak 1.1 2.73 3.06 Guilty 0.9 2.60 3.07 Draw Back Your Bow 0.9 2.64 3.08 The Brave and the Bold 1.4 3.92 3.09 The Climb 1.1 3.06 3.10 Left Behind 1.1 3.06 3.11 Midnight City 1.1 2.91 3.12 Uprising 1.2 2.94 3.13 Canaries 1.1 2.67 3.14 The Return 1.2 2.91 3.15 Nanda Parbat 1.1 3.07 3.16 The Offer 0.9 2.37 3.17 Suicidal Tendencies 1.0 2.77 3.18 Public Enemy 0.8 2.48 3.19 Broken Arrow 0.9 2.47 3.20 The Fallen 1.0 2.72 3.21 Al Sah-him 0.9 2.39 3.22 This is Your Sword 1.0 2.54 3.23 My Name is Oliver Queen 1.0 2.83

In addition to what was said above, I think Oliver also didn't tell Diggle and Felicity because he was afraid they might be able to talk him out of it (like his dream where Felicity pleads with him not to go fight Ra's and he agrees in the dream) -- and he was doing what he thought had to be done even though he didn't want to do it. Also, they could have taken steps to make it impossible for him to proceed with his plan (same reason that Roy/DIggle/Felicity didn't tell Oliver about their 'faking Roy's death' plan).

No surprise - I agree with all 10 of her points... Arrow: 10 Ways That Season 3 Went Wrong Laura Hurley 3 hours ago http://whatculture.com/tv/arrow-10-ways-that-season-3-went-wrong.php 10. Marginalizing Oliver 9. Splitting Team Arrow 8. Birth of the Black Canary 7. Palmer Island 6. Writing for the "Gotcha!" 5. Sacrificing Characterization 4. Treatment of the Ladies 3. Underwhelming Villains 2. Meandering Flashbacks 1. Depressing

The SpoilerTV team received & watched an official screener for Supergirl, and have listed it as "Unsure" (rather than "Hit" or "Miss"). Their reviewers' comments at the bottom of the page are interesting...

This is an interesting online poll (retweeted by JB on his twitter page) - the options listed are Ra's, Malcolm, Diggle and Other... Biggest Badass (Male) http://www.opinionstage.com/polls/2272551

I originally posted these in the Spoilers thread, but then re-read The Summer Spoiler Rules (which say that anything tweeted by MG is not a spoiler because it's a public forum) and moved them here. MG's back on tumblr -- http://marcguggenheim.tumblr.com/...

This is an old 2004 interview with PB where he talks about playing the villain, Stephen Saunders, on 24 (the tv show)... Paul Blackthorne 24 Inside Interview

CL answers questions on-stage at St. Albert's Eek! Fest on May 30, 2015.... Eek Fest! 2015: Interview with the actress Caity Lotz -- New movie, 400 Days, with BR and TC. She plays a doctor and 'hopeful astronaut.' -- New tv show, LoT. They haven't seen scripts yet. They went to Vancouver to shoot promo. The show will have the action/fighting of Arrow and the effects of The Flash. Will be 13 episodes. Event-based. Will be a lot like the Flarrow cross-over episodes. -- She's been training in Filipino martial arts (two sticks, bo staff). -- If she could have any superpower IRL, she'd want to fly. Sara might want the ability to foresee the future. -- She did one dance movie, it wasn't that good. -- She would like to do some straight drama, heavy drama. -- She doesn't know, but it would make the most sense for Sara to come back via the LP on Arrow. Would then be able to see Quentin's reaction to his daughter being alive again for the third time. -- At one time, she wanted to be a dolphin trainer. She never planned on acting. She started dancing at 7. She moved to LA to dance, planned to have a real job, moved to Europe and became part of a singing group, then moved back to LA and became an actor. -- SA really is a good guy and such a 'dude-dude', he's not a 'fancy LA guy', he's Canadian. She never got to work with JB, who's the real prankster. She'd like to work with JB. -- She doesn't know, but expects that Sara will be changed by the LP. -- She has always been very active. She doesn't do weight training. She started doing martial arts before she began acting. At a studio where she was break dancing, there were martial artists. They taught her martial arts and she taught them break dancing. She wanted to do stunts then. Arrow was interested in her because she could do her own fighting. -- She commented on the similarity between the machine character in the new movie, Ex Machina, and her character in her movie, The Machine, both named Ava. -- She didn't know Sara was coming back when she died on Arrow. -- Her favorite Arrow episode was the "League of Assassins" because she liked the fighting and being able to fight without the wig, mask and 'crazy clothes'. -- She doesn't think Sara's return will affect Laurel being BC because Laurel is BC, but will affect Laurel emotionally. She thinks it will also help Laurel on her trajectory of becoming a hero. -- She assumes that Flash S2 will have answers as to what happens to the other half of Firestorm. -- She's hoping for flashbacks to when Sara and Nyssa met. She's also interested in seeing flashbacks to when Sara got pulled out from the freighter and how she started training in Nanda Parbat. -- She thinks it's harder to play WC because not many people know who WC is. More people knew and loved BC so it was easier to play 'Canary/Black Canary'. -- When she auditioned for Sara, she didn't know who she was. Afterwards, DC sent her some BC comics to read. -- If she got cast in that dramatic film she wants, the leading guy she'd want cast opposite her would be Tom Hardy. ETA: I guess I should stop posting CL events in the Arrow forum.

I decided to post jbuffyangel's new recap of 1x04 because it features the first time Diggle took a swing at Oliver ;) ... ORIGINAL TEAM ARROW: AN INNOCENT MAN ARROW 1X04 REVIEW jbuffyangel MAY 27, 2015 @ 01:44 http://jbuffyangel.tumblr.com/post/120004684248/original-team-arrow-an-innocent-man-arrow-1x04 ETA: I think these new S1 episode recaps are interesting because we now know what happens afterwards (in S2 and S3) and because both Laura Hurley and jbuffyangel reference (and even compare) later developments in their recaps.

I'm posting this article here because I'm only interested in the new DC costume design for comics GA - and the possibility that it might influence Oliver's new costume in S4 of Arrow...
