AGENT CARTER EARNS 3 SATURN AWARD NOMINATIONS March 3, 2015 by Director E · http://agentcarter.net/agent-carter-earns-3-saturn-award-nominations/

Robert Dougherty's latest Tuesday editorial has been posted in the Spinoff thread (here) this week because it's about the Ray Palmer spinoff.

I wasn't sure whether to put this in the Media thread or here, but since it's about the spin-off - I wanted to quote the entire article (Robert Dougherty nails it on the head, IMO)... 'Arrow's' Transparent Greed For A Ray Palmer Spinoff By Robert Dougherty Mar 03, 2015 11:37 AM http://www.themovienetwork.com/article/arrows-transparent-greed-ray-palmer-spinoff

Since Season 3 is the season where Oliver is celibate, then maybe the EPs will have Oliver get involved in multiple women in Season 4 (to switch it up). Only it won't be the womanizing Oliver from before. This time, he could be seeking to balance his life by entering into a stable relationship. So he goes from one relationship to another, trying to find the one that makes him happy. But in typical Oliver fashion, he fails repeatedly. In addition to bringing back McKenna (which MG has said is something they talk about), there's his Baby Mama. Maybe Oliver tries a relationship with her just for the sake of trying to be a father to his son. Or the EPs could introduce new characters to the show. As for Felicity and Laurel, if both are still considered endgame possibilities - Felicity could be unavailable to him romantically next season for some stupid contrived plot reason. Although the "because comics" fans want Laurel and Oliver to reunite, it probably wouldn't be this soon (if ever). But I could see the EPs doing a wink at the comics by having Oliver and Laurel go undercover as a married couple for some stupid contrived plot reason.

Abbie and Ichabod survived to Round 2 - which is now open for voting. They are now up against Fitz and Olivia (Scandal). I voted in all the games to support the shows I liked, not necessarily because I ship all the couples. http://www.eonline.com/news/631054/2015-tv-s-top-couple-tournament-vote-for-your-favorites-in-round-2-now

Round 2 voting now open for 2015 TV's Top Couple Tournament! "This round of voting will close on Wednesday, March 4, at 5 p.m. PT, with the Sweet 16 kicking off on Thursday morning"... NEWS/ 2015 TV's Top Couple Tournament: Vote For Your Favorites in Round 2 Now! by TIERNEY BRICKER Mon., Mar. 2, 2015 12:00 PM PST http://www.eonline.com/news/631054/2015-tv-s-top-couple-tournament-vote-for-your-favorites-in-round-2-now Round 2 Matchups: Game 1.1 April and Jackson, Grey's Anatomy Thea and Roy, Arrow (currently losing) Game 1.3 Felicity and Oliver, Arrow (currently leading) Booth and Brennan, Bones

If they were shooting the season-ending episode, I'd say it was Malcolm who was being killed off. But at this point, I'm going with Roy or Quentin as the sacrifice. Maybe Roy is killed by the partner or relative of that cop he killed when he was under the influence of mirakuru? And I agree there's going to be a genuine character death - it's the 'shocking character death' cliche to generate buzz. The Arrow costume designs this season favor style over stealth. Hence, we have the multitude of shiny buckles on Laurel's costume. Now we'll get lights on Oliver's costume. Maybe Thea's costume will glow in the dark.

This got me speculating wildly... If Ra's al Ghul is more a title than an individual's name (such that he can assign it to a successor), this could start a trend on the show. Black Canary could also be a title/moniker that is passed from Sara to Laurel - to Nyssa or Thea? (Same with Green Arrow in the future.) Maybe they're going to make Nyssa a regular cast member next season.

Adding to MG's busy schedule, I just saw this recent news item... MARVEL LAUNCHES "X-TINCTION AGENDA" AS PART OF "SECRET WARS" http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/marvel-launches-x-tinction-agenda-as-part-of-secret-wars
