Social Media and Behind the Scenes: AKA Everything Else Not "News and Media"

[ohjoy]

I know nothing about this con, but looking at that guest list it's interesting how all of these guests are former cast members and most of them are former LIs as well. (4 out of 5 dentists prefer....)

[bijoux]

Ha! I noticed that they were all former cast members, but didn't make the LI connection.

How many times will we see this recreated in photo ops in Birmingham? I'm guessing hoping loads.

[looptab]

Is that official? Why is there a Spoilertv watermark on it?

It is official. MG tweeted it last night. I think SpoilerTV were the first though.

Here's the MG tweet...

John Campea celebrated Captain Buckles

[dtissagirl]

That was me last night. I had cake instead of balloons, tho. And I played George Michael's Freedom! '90 + danced around for a while.

[Guest]

John Campea. OMG! I shouldn't laugh but LOL.

[TwistedandBored]

Seriously, the Arrow tag was lit last night and it was not all good things for Laurel. Most people were mad about how Laurel did not care for Tommy and were questioning why she became druggy in season 2. Others were just mocking the whole flashbacks. 

[AyChihuahua]

Has there been much in the way of SM goodbyes from the cast, etc., to KC? The theory was they were somewhat holding off until this episode.

[Guest]

I haven't seen any SM farewells. A few weeks ago SA did make a point of saying he'd talk about the season once it was over. I guess we'll have to wait until then? It is weird though.

No. I didn't see anything from the cast last night. 

[SmallScreenDiva]

Katrina Law posted this on Instagram. Nothing from the other cast members, though. But then I thought the brunch was the goodbye already.

[Velocity23]

Also Paul posted a pic

[Guest]

Aw, someone finally said "Pretty birds." That's something, I guess?

[lemotomato]

Well, SA is on a social media break, EBR hasn't been tweeting much, Greg Berlanti apparently forgot a new episode of Arrow was on last night (he's been tweeting/RT-ing Flash and LoT posts), and MG is going on with business as usual. 

The lack of reaction does seem strange. When CH left there were BTS Team Arrow photos and tweets from SA about how goodbyes are tough. And Roy didn't even really get killed; it was always implied they would try to bring him back for guest spots if they could. I didn't read all the articles written post-418, but were there comments from any producers besides MG and WM?

[Velocity23]

AK with his bullshit. that LL was the truest of the heroes. But he has been hiding and having a social media break also.

[lemotomato]

The silence from GB is interesting. He went through the trouble of tweeting to clarify how Flash was treating Jay Garrick, but not a peep about BC? Hmmm

And it was Nyssa...well Katrina,  either way,  called it.

Some of the photos Echo posted for Entertainment Weekly's Instagram

The mask is bad. But props for the wig. Best Canary wig the shiw has seen, to be honest.

Trailer Sessions 1/6

PB with DR

 

Incidentally, PB liked two of my tweets. We're obviously besties now.

[Tallis]

For anyone, like me, who can't make it to CoH2 or the Paris Con, Rogue are doing autographs by mail order for all the attending guests. I realise it's not the same as meeting them but it's better than nothing.

[apinknightmare]

It's awesome that they're doing that! SA's charge, though, is completely ridiculous. Especially compared to everyone else's.

Hahaha at John Campea, I was wondering if he was going to say anything about LL's death. That's was great. 

[wonderwall]

LOL In which Barrowman talks about Olicity sex in the lair O_O

[Guest]

Haha. I wish. No really, I do wish. But I bet JB is just being a naughty little troll. 

[Delphi]

If John Barrowman is charging so much less than Stephen I think someone needs to curb their ego.   Unless it's the convention that determines prices. 

I wouldn't get one unless it was in person anyway,  but damn that's pricey. 

[Morrigan2575]

IIRC it's the actor.  There was one con where SA jacked his price up, people complained and the con said it was at the actor's request

[foreverevolving]

To be fair, JB is 1) not the star of any show anymore, 2) this isn't 2005-2010 at the height of Cap Jack Dr.who/Torchwood days, he's star is shining but not as brightly. It's also possible that JB has other sources of income and he doesn't feel the need to ask for a higher price, I'm sure 7 years ago his prices were probably much higher.

[wonderwall]

I don't think I have it in me to berate SA for taking advantage of the whole supply/demand thing... If people are willing to pay higher prices, why shouldn't he raise the price of his autographs? 

I wouldn't begrudge any of the actors doing that tbh...

Yup.  He can charge whatever he wants just like people can choose not to pay his asking price.  If that's what he thinks he can get then more power to him.

[apinknightmare]

SA's pretty savvy about cashing in on fandom, and I'm sure he's asking for what he's confident he can get. Still think it's a ridiculously high price for mail order considering an in person autograph where you actually get to meet him isn't much more. 

[TrueMyth]

I would totally plunk down 100 for a OTA picture signed by all three.  The in-person autograph experience typically doesn't give you that much time with the actor; the only real bonus would be having it personalized.

Yep. If this was done out of goodwill then I'd definitely side-eye him. But he goes to cons to get paid. So yeah... I can't blame him for getting as much out of each con as possible.

I don't know why, but I'm not seeing anything on either my iPad or my mobile and when I click on the link, I get an error message. So here are some links if people are having similar issues.

JB on action in the lair.

SA and EBR on KC's departure.

WM on chosing the fallen team member.

Really need someone to photo shop a better head on Felicity.  I want to love the poster but it just looks so weird.  Oddly enough she reminds me of Moira.

Another MMc tweet...

Is baby BC's mask meant to be a bad fit because it's Laurel's mask or is it just to show she's like a kid playing dress up?

[tv echo]

[dtissagirl]

Can we institute MMc for Madison McLaughlin instead of MM who's Malcolm Merlyn? It gets confusing when one is doped up on allergy meds. :)

I don't think that's supposed to be Laurel's mask. Baby Canary only stole the collar, not the rest of her gear.

[bijoux]

It also doesn't look like Laurel's. It's just a lame mask IMO.

It's even worse if you frequent the Supergirl forms and they're talking about Martian Manhunter... I have to do mental gymnastics every time.
