tv echo May 3, 2015 Share May 3, 2015 I think that someone at CW Arrow is definitely keeping track of fan complaints. They addressed the Diggle not having a costume complaint in the last episode. Now they've addressed the how-can-Oliver-beat-Nyssa complaint (although it still doesn't explain his beating her in all prior fights). Link to comment

Delphi May 3, 2015 Share May 3, 2015 You'd also think that the highly trained League of Assassins member Nyssa would be well learned in the art of the smoke bomb. She's been training since she was what, six? It really doesn't make sense. 2 Link to comment

kismet May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 (edited) She seemed pretty awesome!! Gotta start following her :) He seemed tired, but in good spirits. Then again she did call him out on his hockey allegiance (rightly so) & I think that set his rhythm off a little. Don't understand his switched allegiances. But then again, where I come from you bleed loyalty to your hometown team even if they are not so good. Granted its paid off in recent years. But my childhood, YA & early adult years saw some bleak times professional sportwise, but my loyalty never waivered. Edited May 4, 2015 by kismet 2 Link to comment

When they're not it's that much sweeter (Go Caps/Wizards <---worst name ever)!!!! Really? I'm not much of a sports fan (though NBA heart belongs to the Bulls - and I have ER to thank for that :-P), but I see no issue with someone changing teams they like if they find a stronger connection to a new one. for example I have an aversion to the pats (so much I was actually disappointed they won this year But I also really have a thing for Seattle as a city so i kind of wanted to see them win again, but in reality American Football bore me) and the Sox's; both of which is apparently dangerous to not like when living in New-England. And while it doesn't look like it, I really don't like sport that much. it's just i'm exposed to it cause in NE everyone seems to be a fan of some team so you can't really get away from it. 1 Link to comment
Sakura12 May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 (edited) I'm a bandwagon sports fan, if the team is winning I'll root for them. However they have to be Chicago teams, Bulls, Blackhawks, Bears, White Sox and if the Cubs ever end up doing anything in my lifetime I'll root for them too. That said GO BLACKHAWKS!! lol Edited May 4, 2015 by Sakura12 Link to comment
apinknightmare May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 I don't have an issue with anyone changing teams if they feel a stronger connection to another one, but he literally said he became a fan of the Kings because a) the Maple Leafs are garbage and b) because when he moved to LA Robbie took him to a playoff game and the year after they won the cup. If they for whatever reason took a huge dive in the coming years, I wonder how strong SA's loyalty would be, haha. Link to comment
Chaser May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 Unrelated to sports…Looks like Sebastian Roche is open to playing PapaSmoak or DamienDarkh. If he is playing Darkh, I may be open to Darkh being Felicity's Father. Contrived story telling and all. Link to comment
ohjoy May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 I'm not on board with the idea that the two characters are the same person, so I'd only be up for him being PapaSmoak. But yeah, PapaSmoak all the way. That'd be fantastic. 1 Link to comment
Chaser May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 I just want him on Arrow. If its either/or, I would probably lean towards Darkh. Which surprises me because he is hands down my first choice for her Dad, but after Ra's was such a huge flop they need a villain who can kill it. I would say Roche would be amazing. 1 Link to comment
Kordi May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 My first thought about Sebastian Roché as Felicity's dad was: "But isn't he too young for this role?" Then I looked up his birth year (1964), and I realized: "No, it's not that he is still so young, it's that you are already so old - you only remember him what he was like when he was much younger - back in those old times better known as the 90s when you yourself were much younger as well!" Conclusion to be drawn from this incident: Time goes by, whether you like it or not :-( 5 Link to comment

Maybe he's just not that huge of a sports fan, just rooting for whichever city he lives in at the moment? he considers LA his home now, so maybe rooting for the kings makes sense to him. I just don't see the big deal. 2 Link to comment
catrox14 May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 (edited) From the tweets and things I've seen of him on FB, Amell seems to be a big sports fan. He still roots for the Blue Jays. ETA: because I was coming across more stridently than I intended LOL Edited May 4, 2015 by catrox14 Link to comment

I was just commenting on the fact that she called him a bandwagoner - because he totally is. I don't think he is a bandwagoner. He hasn't jumped to the Angels or the Dodgers that I know of. I don't know if you watched the video of him making his NHL picks but he said he thinks the Kings have the better infrastructure as an organization. I also think he's a frustrated Maple Leafs fans on top of it. So I think he tries to pay attention not just as a bandwagoner but he doesn't have all the time in the world that he probably wishes he could devote to it. Just my perception. 1 Link to comment
apinknightmare May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 (edited) I don't mean bandwagoner as in he's not really a fan, he probably really does root for and enjoy the Kings. I just think he started rooting for and enjoying the Kings because he lived in LA and they were winning. I also meant bandwagoner in a general sports sense. He's tweeted about bandwagoning often.

statsgirl May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 Sebastian Roche would be awesome as Felicity's father. Even with the crap writing for him as Jerry Jacks, he still managed to thrill. You stay loyal to your hometown teams even when they're garbage, dude! When they're not it's that much sweeter (Go Caps/Wizards <---worst name ever)!!!! Have you seen the Toronto Maple Leafs? The last time they won the Stanley Cup was 46 years ago in 1967, and they still have the most lucrative fanbase in Canada. They need some tough love, and their asses kicked, to get back in the game.

Sakura12 May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 The Chicago Cubs still have die hard fans and they haven't won a Series in 106 years. Shows me that true fans never jump ship no matter how bad it gets. Link to comment

I don't care who he roots for, but I did like that Katie teased him about it. Link to comment
Kordi May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 (edited) [...] true fans never jump ship no matter how bad it gets. Is this rule limited to sports teams, or does it apply to TV shows as well? In the second case, I might remember you someday when Arrow S4 is getting worse and worse... :P ETA Could the fact that we keep talking about our loyalties regarding sports teams be possibly due to the lack of new spoilers? Seriously, where's the Asia promo? And hasn't MG posted something, ANYTHING that would be worth ranting about? Is our tumblr troll failing the fandom? Is he on vacation? Edited May 4, 2015 by Kordi 1 Link to comment
statsgirl May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 It is strange that MG hasn't posted anything since Thursday. I wonder if the not-so-enthusiastic reception of Ra's latest moves might have something to do with it. It's hard to find any comment that likes the latest twist in the plot. Link to comment
Menrva May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 Don't remind me. I remember watching him in that TV series with Heath Ledger and Vera Farmiga (I think). They were Romans? Or Celtic? Something. There was a Druid boy. Loved him since then. The show was called Roar and I loved it too. It was awesome in its ridiculousness. I believe Roche played Longinus, who was cursed with immortality for stabbing Jesus on the cross with his spear? I could be wrong. It was a long time ago. Link to comment

I believe Roche played Longinus, who was cursed with immortality for stabbing Jesus on the cross with his spear? I could be wrong. It was a long time ago. Yes, you're absolutely right! I just looked it up because it had been bugging me. And yes, it was ridiculous and I loved it all the more for it. Look at who it produced, though: Ledger, Farmiga and Roche. Not bad for a show that got canceled after 1 season, I think. Anyway, back on topic, I've seen Charlotte Ross fave and retweet posts mentioning Sebastian Roche. Those actors have chemistry to spare so I'm almost positive if he does get cast they'll get on like a house on fire. And yes, definitely a distinct lack of general excitement from the fandom, it seems. No new info to chew on. Both my Twitter and Tumblr feeds have been really quiet. I can usually tell if an episode is well received or not based on how busy they are. Edited May 4, 2015 by SmallScreenDiva Link to comment
