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

Is she liking those again?

I don't think so...? I'm not 100% sure though.

I do have a sinking suspicion that the fact that she's been mum about Arrow after she shot her episodes - that 510 is NOT going to be a good one for LL/BS. It really does seem like she's moved on and not clinging to a show that really doesn't give a damn about her character. If that's the case, good for her.

I have the same thoughts.

Maybe Black Siren gets killed off? 

ETA: And good on the Olicity fandom for trending.

Echo posted this on Instagram as part of his DC Comics takeover:

dccomicsWest Coast, your turn in 40! And I couldn't do this takeover without throwing a shot out to all the #olicity fans out there. They've always been great to me! -@echokells #Arrow #DCWeek

I don't get the hands pose (is that supposed to be 10 x 10 for 100?), although my first thought was "Where are you rings?"

I just saw that the Twitter trend was only made up today. Not bad.

That particular one yes but, I had many people in my DMs who orchestrated an Olicity4Ever trend for a while and was changed because the 4 wouldn't have been able to trend. But yeah, if it weren't for the bigger accounts getting into it I think we still would've trended just lower.

It feels like a show of power, a casual flexing of muscles, hey if you want this, give us something to tweet about, lol.

It was a show of power, IMO. I don't think people were really interested in trending anything for Arrow, especially after Guggenheim's snit the other night. But something must have jolted them this morning because I started seeing the trend info getting spread around. And a lot of accounts I haven't seen in a while joined in (mine got hijacked, with permission).

Oh my god Manu stop. Seriously. I loved Slade but now I'm wishing he never ever comes back.

About the  credits: I thought Katie got the  same contract Barrowman did, but he got the 'Special appearance by' like Neal McDonough while she got credited among the Special Guest stars - though there must be something there, because the order was Grant, her, Susanna, and then the others listed alphabetically.

Is there some beef there with Manu and Arrow? Does seem strange that the show hasn't gone back to Slade, considering he's still alive in-universe. Then again with the new Batman movie, they'd probably just have to kill him off. 

MG has mentioned before that the didn't like the way the show treated his character (I think it was about his return in the 3rd season where he fought with Thea). He's been salty every since.

You know, I've realized that as much as I may not like Curtis like I did last season, I do love EK on social media and maybe for that alone, I want him to hang around as long as possible. 

he's a gem...the writers need to do better by him cause I don't want to lose Echo.

Guggs is at it again. Man, even when they put Olicity back together this dude is gonna be so petty and shortchange them, isn't he?

This dude will never learn, will he? Somebody take his social media accounts away! Stat. 

ETA: also LOL @ Manu Bennett. What a lovely gentleman.

So, basically the shipper 'folks' cannot accept that everyone watches for different reasons? Which one could reply to by saying that not everyone watches for comic canon. But that is probably not the accept interpretation.

What I don't understand is why they cannot phrase it nicely? 'Even though everyone watches for different things, we all should appreciate that the show has highlights for everyone' - or something along those lines. It always sounds friendly but it really is just accusing people of not being able to get over it.

I mean, what are they trying to achieve? I remember MG actively pandering to those nasty shippers to buy his book.... I guess if there is something in it, they can fall back onto these idiots. Other people would be happy that they have such a 'passionate' (his words) fanbase that creates the buzz. Maybe people would be not so on their case if they weren't constantly dismissed as some sort of crazy people. Many probably don't want the super happy ending right away. They just want a story they recognize and root for. In whatever small portions that may be. At least that is the feeling I get. But they get nothing and get talked about in a dismissive manner over and over again. That is why they are as mad or as disappointed as they are. At least, that is what I believe.

Marc has clearly figured out that marginalizing and attacking shippers ups social media buzz and engagement among the shippers, and so will probably keep doing it.

Manu is such a weirdo.

Ding ding ding! MG is the epitome of a shit stirrer! 

Manu Bennett is such an odd individual. Charming, really. Like dude is so butt hurt over a storyline he can't let go years later. Wtf. But since his career is going so well I understand him being petty.

Oh, wait. 

LOLOLOL 

ETA: I don't quite understand how SA keep following him on SM  when the guy is continuously pissing on his show. Boggles my mind.

I don't see how that's useful though? I mean, maybe yesterday because shippers were basically goaded into trending for Olicity, but most of the angry responses he gets after saying something dumb don't include tagging the show, or even include the name of the show, and it seems to discourage people from tuning in instead of inciting them to hate-watch. I'm just not sure that engagement makes any difference to Arrow's social media stats - again with yesterday's trend being an outlier. Those Neilsen Twitter rankings that get posted only seem to count tweets with the show title included, so I'm not sure using Olicity to trend helps the show stats either.
