WWE has posted some additional video clips of SA last night (go to twitter links to view) - the first video shows another camera angle of SA jumping over the ropes into the ring (looks even more impressive from this angle), and the second video shows a ringside interview - you may have to unmute the sound... https://twitter.com/WWE/status/630940801837568000 https://twitter.com/WWE/status/630914136247930880 More at https://twitter.com/WWE (some interesting fan tweets)

CBS drops major Under the Dome spoiler (but will the show return?) BY JAMES HIBBERD Posted August 10 2015 — 12:26 PM EDT http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/10/under-dome-spoiler-down

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.

So we know that they're currently shooting 4x03 (from SA). And we know that both Double Down (played by JR Bourne), current adversary, and Conklin (played by Ryan Robbins), flashback adversary, will debut in this episode. Now from the recent tweets, we know that Jocelyn Ott and Giles Panton will be appearing on the show and will be working with JR Bourne - so I'm guessing that they'll appear in this episode and that we're going to get a casino scene with gamblers?

It sounds like Jocelyn Ott will be working with JR Bourne a lot - and also Giles Panton... https://twitter.com/JocelynOtt https://twitter.com/iamjrbourne/status/630574064512319488 Trivia Fact: Giles Panton starred in Soldiers Of The Apocalypse along with EBR.

Even though it's not in the romantic context, on The Walking Dead, Norman Reedus has moved to second billing in the credits, even though he started out the show in the secondary tier of 'also starring' credits. Part of that was due to the show killing off some main characters, but he also jumped past some actors who were in the main cast from the beginning.
