Balaclava October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 That is a very good point--there are more than a few Felicity Smoak fans who aren't Olicity shippers. The only reason I say don't piss off the Olicity shippers is that they're usually the ones being the most vocal and organizing all of the promo campaigns that the network loves. Long story short--they would be complete imbeciles to kill her off, even if they thought it would create good drama. And you are absolutely correct about that, i was just trying to point that beyond the shippers there are other types of fans to take in account, not saying you didn't. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18942-ratings-and-scheduling-hail-to-the-gods/page/13/#findComment-1589905

They also do a lot of promotion via social media. i totally agree, when you have GB and others thanking people that watched and tweeted the show live, that should tell you something about how much they care.

They pay to have another show that viewers can stream, which until Netflix has more original content, helps them draw in subscribers which then allows them to produce more original content. How long that model is going to last is anyone's guess, but for right now, offering several seasons of multiple shows does seem to working for Netflix and Amazon Prime, though Amazon's prime interest (sorry) seems to be drawing people to its website for retail sales.

kismet October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 Greys Anatomy centers around Meredith Grey, who the show is named after. They just aren't as tight as they are with Arrow. Even Buffy centered around Buffy but had characters do their own thing. Oliver at some point would have to learn to live for himself and of course killing off Felicity would be a big test for him. But either way as you said, Arrow centers around Oliver. Felicity is not Oliver just as Laurel isn't Oliver. Either could go, neither most likely wont. But of course we get to spend the next 5 months seeing people speculate away and get emotional over the possibility of their favorite possibly leaving. Grey's Anatomy was a pun. Grey's Anatomy is actually a text book that used to be required or at least part of the fundamentals of Medical School. It also happens to be Meredith's last name. Shonda is that smart & crafty. The premise of the show is following a group of residents learning to be surgeons and human beings. Every year the residents gain more experience and become the teachers. So cast can organically replace & replenish itself. Similar to how LoT is now being set-up in a way that can organically replace/replenish superhero team members.Meredith is one of the central characters. But it is not just her story. There have been core central characters that get a focus every year. However, the show could probably survive a few seasons if Meredith was killed. It has survived the loss of Izzy, George, Cristina, Addison, McSteamy, Lexi - the list could go on. Granted Meredith is one of the cornerstones so it would be a loss & a hit if they killed her. But the show could probably survive, esp since they now named the Hospital "Grey-Sloan Hospital". You probably kill of every Grey and still have the legacy of the Greys, if the writers were still turning out scripts and characters people wanted to watch. Arrow is not as fortunate to do that. Without OQ & SA, there is no ARROW - unless they get creative perhaps with his son. They would have to establish a new Arrow, before it would make sense to keep ARROW as a show and not just spin it off if their is another viable story/character. However to make a correlation back to Arrow, OQ is the main character of ARROW, his designated LI is FS. Everything he does is somehow intertwined with her, just as everything MG did was somehow intertwined with McDreamy. The characters are more than just fan favs they are cornerstones of the show's premise. Losing McDreamy was a shock, but the pairing had also spun itself for 11yrs in every situation. It needed a new injection. Now if ARROW is fortunate enough to run 11 seasons, I can see them killing the LI that fuels their hero's journey. Or if there are backstage shenanigans, contracts disputes or actors wanting out as people have alluded above. Everybody else was expendable to Meredith's journey except Derek; just like everyone else is expendable to Oliver's journey except Felicity. There will be a time when the writers decide to pursue what happens when their Hero loses his LI, and at that time I think there will be a drop in the ratings. I think it will hit ARROW harder, because it won't have as many other stories & characters to insulate its fall. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18942-ratings-and-scheduling-hail-to-the-gods/page/13/#findComment-1590422

I can't see any cable network really wanting Arrow. I could see reruns but not to takeover production. Perhaps a streaming network would be willing to foot production costs. Hulu might want to get more into superheroes. It does stream well. But its not a ratings juggernaut and it doesn't have A list talent that has tge big name draw. At best wherever it goes, I see it more as riding the Flash's coattails which would be an ironic turn. It might all be mute because I really think the CW will land on its feet. And even if it has to merge, I believe Arrow is strong enough that it would survive the merger.

I like Felicity/EBR but I'm not that invested in her. So her absence on Arrow wouldn't effect the other shows for me. Mostly since I've already given up on Arrow and am only watching for Sara's episodes, once she's gone so is my viewing of Arrow. I'm giving the Flash a second chance to see if it can get better, I'm excited for LoT for CL, AD, VG and WM. Blindspot is mindless entertainment and nothing else is on at that time for me.

apinknightmare October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 (edited) My viewing of The Flash is intermittent, and any death on Arrow wouldn't change that. Barry continuing to be a moron while having everyone around him coddle him would, though. We'll see how that goes. I'm not interested in watching LoT, but I'll probably check out the pilot and see if it grabs me. If it does grab me, I'd watch no matter who bites it on Arrow. I wouldn't watch Arrow without Felicity, because I tried and I thought it was...well, boring. I did give it another chance because I knew Felicity was being brought into the fold (thank you, Tumblr and Arrow-watching friends!). I wouldn't continue not only just because of Felicity being gone, but because I'm really tired of life shitting all over Oliver, and I'm ready for him to stop losing people he cares about. The show doesn't have to be The Flash in tone, but I do need the misery porn to stop where Oliver is concerned, and killing off yet another girlfriend would signal that we're still going down that path, and no thank you.

I'm not going to waste my money on tragedy. YES so I'm not alone in thinking that "Blindspot" is boring. I watched the first 2 episodes and they were both yawnfests. I mean for someone with amnesia she really is remembering quite a bit. The fight scenes are laughable. 2 episodes in a row she fought someone back into an apartment and the dude can't even bother to remember his name right now had to come and pull her off the person. Both lead and co-lead are as dry as un-buttered toast. The only reason I can see for it getting more episodes order is that almost EVERY new fall show this season is SUCKING really bad. As for killing off Felicity if they (the EPs and showrunner) are that moronic then they need to lose viewers. They build Oliver and Felicity for 2-1/2 seasons and then demolish what they built in 1, yeah that's gonna go over fine with those who love Felicity/Olicity (and I'm not even talking about hard-core shippers). You have articles speaking about how they are the heart and soul (Felicity and Oliver) of the show. If you take away the heart than the soul doesn't matter because it will no longer have a means by which to exist. So what are the chances of a good survival rate so to speak if they kill off Felicity? It may continue on life support for a few episodes (maybe even a season). If this is the moment they think they can move Laurel/BC back into his life than they really are DUMBER than I thought, can they be that dumb?. Rightfully Arrow (Stephen Amell himself as the Arrow) gets and should get a lot of publicity but Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) without even being his designated love interest at the time was getting a lot too more than any other character on the show. I think Laurel Hurley (or something like that) wrote "Oliver might survive the loss of Felicity, but the Arrow can't", wise words my dear wise words.

BkWurm1 October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 I do currently watch Flash regularly and am looking forward to LoT. If something happened to Felicity, I'd would stop Flash because there are just too many intertwined mentions and any mention of anything Arrow related would kill any enjoyment of Flash. The same likely would be the case with LoT but the shows that aren't in the Arrowverse wouldn't be affected. I hate Mysteries of Laura and I'm not sure about Blindspot, (the lead guy is kind of awful) but Supergirl would have to be pretty bad for me to skip it. BUT, I agree with apinknightmare.

Primal Slayer October 12, 2015 Share October 12, 2015 I think The Flash will continue to get a good amount of press, just wait until the actual movie comes out and all the comparisons it will get in the media. Which brings me to: DC REALLY should cross promote their shows with their movies. Put trailers for the tv shows in theaters when the movies come out. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18942-ratings-and-scheduling-hail-to-the-gods/page/13/#findComment-1595630
kismet October 12, 2015 Share October 12, 2015 Especially for a pretty crappy and boring episode. (Not just my opinion, most reviewers seemed to feel the same.) TBH it was a boring episode IMO, perhaps not crappy - but not much to want a re-watch IMO. But people don't necessarily know that before they tune in. And a lot of people don't read reviews. It will be interesting to see if week-after-week they can continue to have that jump. Hopefully ARROW can also maintain if not increase their ratings jump too. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18942-ratings-and-scheduling-hail-to-the-gods/page/13/#findComment-1595755

BkWurm1 October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 (edited) You know what I'm really surprised at is how many people still watch live. Edited October 13, 2015 by BkWurm1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18942-ratings-and-scheduling-hail-to-the-gods/page/13/#findComment-1597189
Morrigan2575 October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 It looks like everything got a pretty good jump. Happy for Arrow With the exception of Flash which normally doesn't have much of a jump, all of the other increases are on par with their normal Live +7 numbers.

tv echo October 14, 2015 Share October 14, 2015 Digital Audience Ratings (DAR) - TV measures what entertainment content is resonating most across Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Tumblr, YouTube and Wikipedia combined. For the week of Oct. 5 - 11, 2015, Arrow was ranked #9 among broadcast programs (just behind The Flash)... http://variety.com/2015/digital/news/snl-jumps-on-trump-shadowhunters-makes-debut-1201615787/ Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18942-ratings-and-scheduling-hail-to-the-gods/page/13/#findComment-1602420
Morrigan2575 October 15, 2015 Share October 15, 2015 http://www.spoilertv.com/2015/10/ratings-news-15th-october-2015.html Arrow - 0.9 18-49A and 2.47 million Supernatural - 0.8 18-49A and 1.88 million. Interestingly enough 302 had a 2 tenths drop from 301...I guess fans really don't like those last minute episode deaths :D Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18942-ratings-and-scheduling-hail-to-the-gods/page/13/#findComment-1606031

benteen October 15, 2015 Share October 15, 2015 Arrow got a big jump in the ratings last season when they did the Flash crossover. I can't help but think it's eventually not going to be that big during the next big crossover (well, maybe after next season) if they keep having characters from both shows crossover so regularly and matter-of-factly.

Guest October 15, 2015 Share October 15, 2015 (edited) Not surprised it dropped. They usually do after the premiere anyway. But I wouldn't be surprised if the flash-forward put some people off. I know it took the shine off the episode for me and one of my colleagues was like 'Oh, well, I don't wanna watch anymore now.'

Chaser October 15, 2015 Share October 15, 2015 The ratings are still a positive when compared to last year's. I'm sure the brass is happy. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18942-ratings-and-scheduling-hail-to-the-gods/page/13/#findComment-1607226
