Featherhat January 21, 2018 Share January 21, 2018 4 hours ago, LeighAn said: I especially wonder how that came to play in his line to her in the season opener, the one that was something like "Nobody asked your opinion, Blondie". It was the most intensely hostile reading. I just wonder how much was scripted vs his interpretation. That was the most unnecessary reading of that line possible. Why so hostile Rick? Felicity's comment was completely innocuous and I did wonder if RG's personal feelings played into it, like maybe he never got over people's questions in how he treated Felicity when all he wanted to talk about was how Wild Dong was the new Oliver. 1 Link to comment
tv echo January 21, 2018 Share January 21, 2018 (edited) Added to 2018 events list (there are more tweets about EBR in Funny Story on page 35 of Arrow Stars in Other Roles thread)...... Slamdance Film Festival, January 19-25, 2018 (Park City, Utah) Emily Bett Rickards - world premiere of Funny Story movie on Jan. 21https://slamdance2018.eventive.org/films/5a39a6869d3ccd001450d329Schedule Description: Quote Funny Story Sunday, January 21, 2018 2:30 PM ... After years of being a neglectful father, a womanizing TV star decides to crash his estranged daughter's same-sex destination wedding. Michael Gallagher's delightfully dark wedding comedy FUNNY STORY takes us on a California coastal road trip full of dreams, love, and disillusionment then rams it all into a head on collision. Robust performances from Matthew Glave, Emily Bett Rickards and Jana Winternitz lead this ensemble cast of idealists and misfits back into real world...sort of.

tv echo January 21, 2018 Share January 21, 2018 (edited) I honestly don't know whether to post EBR's Slamdance pics in this thread or in the Actor Stars in Other Roles thread, so I'm guessing - if it's more movie-centric, I'll post in the other thread, but if it's more EBR-centric, I'll post here (?)...

It still feels like there was something early on when he was getting help with his daughter. I think that it was scheduled by child services and he was going to blow it off saying that his daughter was better off without him and Quentin gave him a speech about how he should fight for him daughter. But it was season five so I was trying to protect myself and not pay too much attention. Link to comment

But it was season five so I was trying to protect myself and not pay too much attention. Yeah, I have no desire to go back and double check, especially for a WD thing. I know for sure he had the moment of waffling before he did get kidnapped but I would have said he'd missed some meeting altogether earlier. Maybe it was way back when it was Curtis trying to set up meetings with a lawyer to help him get Zoe back. Then Rene got his job at the Mayor's office and Lance picked up the reunite him with his daughter ball and after he was kidnapped, Oliver stepped in for the hail Mary (forgive the sports metaphor, I'm from MN. I have football on the brains today) Even with Rene not flaking that final time, up until this year it's been everyone else doing the heavy lifting with his case and dragging him back to reconnecting to Zoe. It makes his devotion to his daughter just a bit hard to really feel and sympathize with. Edited January 21, 2018 by BkWurm1 Link to comment

This is why I’m having trouble with the writers using his daughter as the primary justification for why he turned Oliver over to the FBI. He spent part of S5 dodging even having to see her and multiple people had to push him into stepping up and taking responsibility for her again. Is it a writing fail, is it a case of them hoping the audience isn’t paying attention to the details, is it just tone deaf? Who knows ??♀️. Link to comment

I had forgotten that Curtis also tried to help him get Zoe back. Yeah, I really believe Rene's dedication to his daughter. Link to comment

Its nice to see an Arrowverse actresses who can actually dress for a red carpet (since most the Arrowverse actresses are more misses then hits). Link to comment
BkWurm1 January 22, 2018 Share January 22, 2018 Love the color on her and the bottom of the dress. There's something iffy about the top. Link to comment
statsgirl January 22, 2018 Share January 22, 2018 There's too much material in the top. Otherwise it's a good dress and a great colour on her. Link to comment

catrox14 January 23, 2018 Share January 23, 2018 The only thing I got from that is children thinking they can run over dad and him eventually having to save them when their toy car flips over because they tried to run over something much bigger than them or their toy car. LOL Link to comment

statsgirl January 23, 2018 Share January 23, 2018 Wow, there's a lot of Olicity/Felicity hate in those replied. They don't get why we're not all supporting NTA. I guess there really are people on the NTA side. On the positive side, in this age of the alt right I'm happy how many people just naturally accept that Oliver and Diggle are brohters.

Unless I just have them muted, I'm not really seeing a lot of Olicity or Felicity hate tbh? I'm seeing some comic stans supporting the newbies most likely out of pettiness, IMO, but most people are on OTA's side. You only have to look at the replies to SA's original tweet. I've actually been pretty surprised by the general consensus I've seen online, which is that the newbies suck. 610 really pushed people over the edge. Also, I know JH was probably just trying to be funny but IDK, I side eye because THE NEWBIES ARE WRONG. THE END. ? Edited January 23, 2018 by Guest Link to comment
