The top one and the one with the bar over her shoulders are my favs.

I really need EBR to do some Sci-Fi movie now. 

[wonderwall]

Mine are the top one, the bar over her shoulders and the last one :')

She looks stunning and YES, this fueled my need to see her in a sci fi movie!

Those shots are seriously gorgeous.  My favs too though I like all of them but the cheetah shorts and even that pic would have been fine if they cropped it at the shorts

[foreverevolving]

 I honestly think they are all stunning! I seriously can't choose a favorite.

[BkWurm1]

If I had to pick just one, it would be that first shot.  Stunning. 

[Chaser]

Looking thru the photographers IG, he has shot some serious A Listers. Good for her. 

[SmallScreenDiva]

Gorgeous! The one with the bar on Emily's shoulders is making me miss the long, straight hair and also giving me a serious hankering to see her in a catsuit on the show.

I WAS LITERALLY JUST THINKING THIS. And how he said she's the "real deal" makes me happy for her :)

[thegirlsleuth]

Those are fantastic.  She looks great, and the styling is seriously fun.  I have a hard time picking favorites, but appreciate the attitude she's throwing in the cheetah shorts pic and the one with the bar over her shoulders.

I've never really wanted Felicity to suit up (although it is bugging me that Curtis eventually will with essentially similar skills) but damn she would look amazing in a leather suit if the picture with the bar and ponytail are any indication. 

[Guest]

Um...wow. She looks incredible. That has to be the most professional shoot she's done so far. Wow. So happy for her.

[bijoux]

I found this on Twitter and I'm really kind of lazy to scour SA's Facebook page to find this, but in case one of you guys is feeling more industrious. It doesn't look like his actual profile pic.

That post from Amell is from a few years ago I believe. Though from what I've seen on twitter and tumblr it was in response to someone's fanart of Felicity in a black cat suit?

[bijoux]

Makes sense. Thanks.

In other news, in his latest FB video SA announced that the show would be auctioning off a set visit on ebay, the proceeds going to charity supporting Orlando victims.

[looptab]

Do we have any idea of the October scheduling, yet?  According to a Writers'Room tweet, the crossover is airing on November, 30th. So going by that, I think we'll have 7 episodes straight until the week before Thanksgiving, and then 508. Let's hope they avoid the crazy nonsense 2 weeks hiatus, episode, 3 weeks hiatus formula.

Edited September 21, 2016 by looptab

[Velocity23]

I have my doubts especially if Flash doesnt air during Thanksgiving Tuesday. We have US election on a Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Not sure CW is gonna air original programming.

[looptab]

I think usually they air Flash but not Arrow, on Thanksgiving week? So if 508 does air November 30, they should only skip Wednesday the 23rd. Don't know how the elections are factoring in, though.

[Velocity23]

From what i remember most networks preempt original programming and report from the elections.

[looptab]

Oh, yeah, I get that. I meant, it might change because of the elections. :)

[Delphi]

The cw doesn't usually air news coverage, at least not in DC.  They'll just opt for repeats.

[Morrigan2575]

In the past CW counter programs against Election Coverage including Debates. I know that SPN very often went up against debates and CW has aired new episodes against State of the Union (IIRC). 

Not sure if that will hold this year, new management and older TV viewing audience. 

As for Thanksgiving, Flash always airs that Tuesday but, the Wednesday- Friday night lineup is repeats or specials. Makes sense since most schools/colleges let out on Wednesday. Wednesday is also the biggest party night of the year.

Photoshoot wise, i love the first picture, the one with the bar over her shoulder and the final picture with the hat/bar.

Edited September 21, 2016 by Morrigan2575

[quarks]

That's an amazing photoshoot for EBR.

Regarding the scheduling/election coverage: 

October 19, 2016: Both episode 503 of Arrow ("A Matter of Trust") and the third U.S. presidential debate if that debate starts at 8 PM EST, or pre-debate stuff if the debate starts at 9 PM EST.

November 8, 2016:  Polls start closing at 7 PM EST for the United States election, with networks and local stations presumably starting to call local races starting around 7:30 PM.  The CW may offer counter-programming with Flash 305 or 306, or may decide to simulcast local CBS news coverage on some or all stations.

Thanksgiving is November 24, 2016; if I had to guess, I'm with Morrigan in assuming that Flash will air an original episode and Arrow will air a repeat that week, since the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving is traditionally a very low TV viewership night across networks.

What would probably make the most sense would be for Flash to run a repeat on November 8th, and then catch up on November 22, but...we are talking the CW here, so perhaps we shouldn't expect sense. 

[Sakura12]

All CW shows in Chicago were preempted for any debates or any breaking news stories because it was on a Chicago channel.  We shouldn't have an issue this season since they pushed the CW to a channel no one really watched before.

SA's facebook video from yesterday (Sep. 20)...

Edited September 23, 2016 by tv echo

[lemotomato]

I'm a bit amused and maybe a tad concerned, that every time SA mentions the 100th episode he says some perfunctory thing and then quickly changes the subject. 

"100th episode coming up, that's exciting. But let's talk about Code 8!"

Edited September 21, 2016 by lemotomato

New poster?

[bethy]

If this season is actually about Oliver's legacy AND NOT LAUREL'S, I will be so happy.

I think the poster is cool looking.

I appreciate him keeping my expectations for the 100th low.

[BkWurm1]

Didn't MG suggest that while the 100th would serve the crossover that the episode after it would be more of what we'd want from a 100th?

Pretty much. They're playing the 100th adjacent episode (509 = 101) will be the true 100th episode.

If you have an Instagram account, you can win a signed polaroid from EBR's NKD Magazine photo shoot.

Ok. Huh. Is that going to be directed by James Bamford too (she asked with trepidation)? Because I wasn't impressed by last season's efforts.

[bijoux]

Nice.

SA's at Edmonton Expo. I was a bit thrown when I saw this photo. My reaction was very much why does he look that good in the suit? And then I realized it was the original one. Sigh. I miss you and hope you're treated with respect by the SCPD.

brought back the original suit.... I would forgive them for so much or at least let them play more freely with their new shiny toys without my semi-perma eye roll.

Losing that suit was the 3rd devastating loss after Moira & Tommy.

[bijoux]

@kismet, I think it's just an old shot. Likely from the boring arsonist firefighter episode. I don't remember its title, but I do know it was 110 because of how disappointing it was after 109 when things were finally firing from all cylinders.

[kismet]

@bijoux thanks! I do think its just an old shot. I'm just putting it out in the universe that it would be wonderful to get back the old suit. It would be a welcome and beloved result of whatever shenanigans they have planned for s5. Let's put it this way hearing that there would be
