What bugs me is the implication that if you are not patient, you're watching it wrong. Naw, son. You don't get to tell me how I watch TV. I'm an actual pro at doing it.

Oh wow, Emily. I'm impressed because this is really brave and I'm really proud that she said this in such an eloquent way.

Ha. Reading those stage directions, and realizing how EBR went the opposite way [curious and skeptic rather than faint by hot guy] makes me understand 100% how fucking lost they were at that time, and

I went to his facebook to snoop, and he posted a video last night in which he says Arrow's the only hourlong drama on network left from the 2011-2012 pilot season hahaha lololololol Chicago Fire & Elementary are obviously airing in an alternate reality. And technically also Nashville.

Seems like SA being a drama queen to me. Haha. IDK why though.

Cause he is? He pulls that I'm quitting social media at least once per season.

Hahah. Well that's a very myopic point of view.

Yup. It's the same hilarity of him saying no network is doing 4 show crossovers, which he's said a few times. His buddy Colin Donnell actually works for the other franchise doing 4 show crossovers [Chicago Fire/PD/Med + Law & Order SVU] just the same, and this season they're even adding a new Chicago show.

Like, what you're doing is an impressive feat on its own, without you claiming exclusivity and looking dumb while at it.

Well, of course. I just wondered what prompted it this time.

I don't know that this fits his MO though. Announcing to everyone that this is just no fun anymore, he's taking a breather, we all need to focus on what's really important in life, yada yada yada, definitely. That way he's guaranteed to get messages like come back, Steve, we love you, don't leave us, by truckloads. Going private without announcing it seems too mellow IMO. Plus, apparently visitor posts were disallowed on his FB page recently and, while I thought he should count it as a blessing, he seemed to want toget them back to enabled asap. 

If I were writing this thing, it would be the cast and crew pranking him, messing with his social media.

At the very least you'd think there would be really odd posts, like Canada Sux! My Abs are sprayed on, etc

The discussion over on the Relationship thread reminded me of this tweet from yesterday from people who think Arrow would be so much better if it would just diminish that pesky female:

What the hell did I just watch?! Changing Felicity's wardrobe would make Arrow better? LMAO the misogyny. OMG.

I particularly enjoy how 4 out of 5 of the points are about Felicity. They've ignored all of the real problems with the show like writing for plot, OOC character moments, contrived storylines, mediocre stunts, having to prop other shows. But suuuuuuure, Felicity's dresses are the worst thing about Arrow.

I'm dead. I've heard it all now. LOL.

They double down on their wardrobe complaint by explaining in later tweets that it "takes the viewer out of the moment" and "trumps the storyline" and deny that they're misogynists because if it were a guy in a suit, they'd be saying the same thing. 

I think they set out to troll, given how they tagged the post and how they responded.

"write Felicity into a secondary character" sounds like someone opening up one of the new kids, like, surgically, and then writing the word Felicity with the entrails. I don't think they can do that at 8pm on the CW.

That's going to make it a five show crossover so technically he's correct?  Or maybe it's those hilariously bad math skills.

Felicity is not nearly as important as we think she is. That's why 4 of the 5 points are about her.  Not to mention, just how closely is he paying attention to her that the cocktail dresses pull him out of the scene, accompanied by a picture of her in the dress Ray got her for the dinner when cocktail wear is perfectly appropriate.

If Felicity is always perfect, what's the Havenrock arc about then?  groan

Oh my god. That whipclip is the stupidest most passive-aggressive hit on Felicity I've ever seen.

"Don't kill her off"= "Kill her off by making her irrelevant"

"Keep her on team arrow, she can still have something to do" - sexual tension for Oliver? 

 "Don't let Olicity happen" = but let her be around for sexual tension? WTF

"Computer nerds can't wear cocktail dresses to cocktail parties"

"Stop making Felicity perfect" = Um she has made a crapton of mistakes.

 

That was just so dumb. LOL

That's what I find so funny. Felicity can't be a perfect flawless Mary Sue and someone who murdered all those people and cries all the time. Argument FAIL.

I can't laugh at that Whipclip clip because it makes me too angry. What a load of condescending, contradictory, hypocritical, misogynistic, agenda-driven crap.

ETA: And if you want to talk about fashion, what about all the impractical, sex kitten costumes worn by female superheroes in the comics? But I guess the best thing to do is just ignore such trolls.

Here's what Beth Schwartz retweeted...

Here's another version of that trend request...

ETA: Berlanti hasn't bothered to tweet any Arrow promotions this week (as yet), although he's tweeted promotions for Flash, LoT and Blindspot. No surprise - no promotion by Suzanne Gomez.

I remember when Felicity got mocked for being Oliver's doormat and a one-dimensional hacker girl with no backstory. This was between seasons 2 and 3, IIRC.

I remember this too. "She's just comic relief." "She's such a one dimensional character!" "She's not important enough for her own story!"  It was during s2 as well but also that hiatus. 

Flash forward to now and BOOM, she gets her own story and suddenly the show is "Felicity and Friends". Methinks some are just salty and will forever BE salty. Mores their pity, I guess! 

That whole video was a misogynistic nightmare.

Does he talk about the show at all? Because I'm not interested in his wine club.

The only thing he says about the show is that he thinks the first 9 episodes are the strongest ever! 

And then he talks about Code 8.
