One hour of filler... ending with yet another reason for me not to watch The Food Network.

Catrox14, after you finish watching all four seasons of Farscape, make sure you also watch the special movie that follows - Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars, if you want to see the conclusion of the John/Aeryn love story.

Interview: Grant Gustin on Becoming ‘The Flash’ Posted by: Kyle Wilson 2 days ago http://nerdrepository.com/interview-grant-gustin-becoming-the-flash/

I agree with both wonderwall and dancingnancy. It would be nice to get Oliver settled in his romantic relationship and end all the shipping wars, which tend to overshadow fan discussions of the show. However, I don't think the EPs will stabilize his romantic life - if they ever do - unless and until they stabilize his mental and emotional state. If Oliver's 'hero' journey also means his character journey - from weak asshole to strong fighter to vigilante to Arrow to Green Arrow, then his inner turmoil also needs to go through that arc so that he can come to peace with himself and actually maintain a stable relationship. If the EPs planned for his hero journey to take 5 years, then they may also have him screwing up his relationships (while slowly improving) for at least 4 years. I don't know. I suppose they could have him settled enough to have a stable relationship after 3 years and still continue his hero journey for another 2 years. Regarding the couples on the other shows mentioned above, I don't know if any of those characters had to go through as drastic a change (or as horrendous an experience) as Oliver has and will have to before all is said and done.

Here's one more pic from the comics: Source: ‘Arrow’ EP shares sneak peek at Felicity and Diggle in digital tie-in comics Posted on August 9, 2014, by The CW Source http://cwtvsource.com/2014/08/09/arrow-ep-shares-sneak-peek-at-felicity-smoak-in-digital-tie-in-comics/

SpoilerTV.com has more pics of Felicity and Barry from the shooting of The Flash, Episode 1.04: "Going Rogue" - http://www.spoilertv.com/2014/08/the-flash-episode-104-going-rogue-bts.html

I want to qualify what I posted above. While I like seeing more Felicity on the show and love that she's a regular cast member, I'm concerned that they're going to go overboard with her character and create a fan backlash. At the same time, I didn't like seeing her and Team Arrow sidelined for so much of the back half of Season 2. I realize it's a difficult balancing act when you have so many characters on the show.

Oliver had sex with Sara while he had feelings for Felicity, and Felicity isn't allowed to kiss Barry? And, yes, I'm assuming that Oliver loved Felicity way before "Unthinkable". If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. It just sounds like they're spreading Felicity all over the place and using her to prop up whoever they think needs propping up. Felicity's popular with a lot of fans so 'Felicity, your mission, if you choose to accept it': Laurel - make her more likeable. Barry Allen - draw more Arrow viewers over to The Flash. Ray Palmer - show how charismatic he can be... whatever.

She was also talking back to the judges on the runway (albeit in a friendly way) like they were nuts to criticize her design.

I didn't like Sandhya's design but agree that, at least, it was different. I also felt like I had seen all of the other contestants' outfits before. I think they sent Angela home over the guy who did the burlap sack dress because she was so fragile - they were probably concerned about liability. This season seems especially mean-spirited to me. Not just the judges - but every contestant's confessional to the camera was to say negative things about other contestants' designs. Maybe it was editing. I recall that in past seasons, they would also show contestants saying positive things about other designs.

LOL... that Frozen reference is hilarious and so spot on. I confess I watched this last episode with a kind of horrified fascination. I'm glad Alex left Vega - yes, just get away from that whole horrible bunch of self-centered, power-hungry people masking themselves as do-gooders - even if it's to go to Gabriel's lair. I don't like either MIchael or Gabriel - or Evelyn or Uriel for that matter. I don't like William or his father Whele, Riesen or Clare - she's deluding herself if she really doesn't think she wants the power. Her intention to keep the baby secret from Alex was unforgiveable as well. I kept waiting for someone to kill William. At the end, I was surprised to find that the only people I liked were Alex and Doma.

I thought the significance was the headline of the article and how MG's arguably ambiguous statement was interpreted by a website that appears to be affiliated with The CW - but I could be wrong.

Women have to worry about being skewered by Joan Rivers on The Fashion Police.... men, less so. Seriously, female stars in Hollywood are still critiqued a lot more for how they look in public than male stars.

Interesting stuff... JB is asked about whether Malcolm is looking for redemption in Season 3, Malcolm's motives and relationship with Thea in Season 3, whether Malcolm's story will have flashbacks in Season 3, his love of the character of Malcolm, and what his fans mean to him: Interview: John Barrowman Mentors Season 3 of ‘Arrow’ Posted by: Kyle Wilson 22 hours ago http://nerdrepository.com/interview-john-barrowman-mentors-season-3-arrow/ Maybe Malcolm Merlyn needs his own topic thread now that he's going to be a regular.
