I hope they aren't trying to have Dinah have more screentime then Felicity.

After Felicity got 25+ minutes in 604? She also filmed Flash 405 and Arrow 605 at the same time.

Wow Kirk is kind of an asshole

[LeighAn]

As I mentioned in the Spoiler thread.... what is violence against women when the dude bros think your awesome sauce 

[apinknightmare]

That's what I get for trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, haha. His wife is even liking the get-rid-of-Felicity comments, yikes.

[Mellowyellow]

OMG What a jackass! After everything that has happened this week too. 

I'm surprised CW isn't stamping this shit out after their disastrous PR this week.

[Guest]

Welp. I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt too but yikes. He's just an asshole by the sounds of it, suffering with an acute case of ego-itis. 

[insomniadreams88]

I don't even know what to say to that. How can he think that's okay? Especially considering what's going on BTS? 

Well, Reddit's going to love him. Guess those are the fans he wants. 

[Mellowyellow]

I don't get the feeling it's just ego. IMO decent people don't go around acting like that. If it walks and quacks like a duck...

Is she? On Twitter? I  just looked and I dont see any anti Felicity liking on her likes.

She liked a comment saying "all you have to do is "Reverse-Flash" Felicity." Which to be fair she might not know what that means if she doesn't watch the show.

Yes, and yes. It was just one I saw that was included in a screenshot someone posted on reddit. I just looked - it's still in her likes (although to be fair to her it talks about "Reverse-Flashing" Felicity and unless she's an avid watcher of Arrow and The Flash, she probably wouldn't know what that means). 

[Guest]

I actually don't care if he likes anti-Felicity tweets tbh. The neck snapping one was over the line and says a lot about the grossness we have in this fandom but I'm not even surprised anymore. But that response was just...nasty and arrogant and just unnecessary, IMO.

Oh ok, looks like I didn't scroll down enough.

[LeighAn]

Micheal Emerson isn't so fragile and insecure that he needs to like dude bro tweets about violence against female characters to feel like a competent actor/villian- just saying. 

[Primal Slayer]

Before seeing that his wife liked the Reverse Flash tweet I didn't anything that big with him liking the tweet he liked since he could've just been liking it since his character is so badass but it is suspicious for them both to be liking tweets referencing Felicity. 

[Chaser]

I'm so disappointed. I'm a Fringe fan and was excited when he was cast. This sucks.

[insomniadreams88]

The thing is, he didn't have to like that tweet. I'm sure there are plenty of tweets praising his character/looking forward to him appearing that he could like instead. That's what bothers me. How did part of him not go, "hmm, maybe I shouldn't like this tweet"?

... And his likes aren't getting any better. 

[apinknightmare]

I don't care if he watches and personally dislikes Felicity, but I'm glad Emily isn't on Twitter very much and doesn't seem like the type would would care, but can you imagine how awful it would be if she saw all those likes and still had to work with him? Yuck. 

[Primal Slayer]

I think he is in full troll mode now and as a celeb, it just isnt a good look.

[Guest]

Going by what he's liking now, he just doesn't like Felicity which, okay. Each to their own. But he sounds like a dick. That one response said all I needed to know about him as a person tbh. Bye!

Maybe he's a method actor?  So since his character is bad, he's also trying to play the part as well?

I think that could be why he was liking tweets that encouraged his character to kill characters but now he is being clueless about why people are upset. It's a good time for him to learn that cheering the violent deaths of even fictional women is not cool.  

Edited November 16, 2017 by BkWurm1

[statsgirl]

If he's doing a method actor thing, shouldn't he have liked a tweet about killing Oliver too?

Well, they definitely want to give her more screen time because they're trying to sell BC. I'm not sure she'll have more screen time than Felicity but it's definitely noticeable that this has become "Arrow with a side of BC 3.0" show.

As for Acevedo, man, I've enjoyed in the past. But that was arrogant and dickish AF. But he fits right in with the likes of Guggenheim and Manu.

[ladylaw99]

Colour me not surprise. Another male actor that just doesn't get it. Desperate much.

[Mellowyellow]

How is BC 3.0 being received by the general public? 

[Mrs. de Winter]

Well, he seems perfectly awful and clueless.  Guess I can avoid the Christmas rush and start hating him now. 

Please ME don't let me down too.

Because of one episode? Felicity will be prominently featured in eps 7-9 and probably after the break as well.

To be fair, she's had more screen time than Felicity in 601-603. And now 605. So it's not just one episode. But hopefully Felicity will be featured more in 607-609 so it might even out.

My first thought was he's a method actor. But now I'm not so sure. It's really not a good look and he's digging himself deeper. Yikes. At least reddit will be happy. Bless them.

[BkWurm1]

I wouldn't be surprised if right now Felicity and DInah are close to the same in screen time, but I would be very surprised if she (Felicity) didn't pull significantly ahead in the future.  Dinah seems to be getting the Mad Dog treatment where Rene was in EVERYTHING in the first half of the show.

I would have thought so.  Right now, the dude is super defensive.  Maybe in a day or two he'll get a clue.  Right now he's claiming he can't be such a terrible guy, he has a daughter you know.

Dinah has yet to surpass Oliver compared to Felicity greatly surpassing him in 6x04. And I doubt Dinah will be featured that much in the crossover where Felicity will definitely make up any missed time she had in 6x01-6x03/6x05 plus she was in The Flash. I dont think there is anything to be worried about.

Well Slade blew past Oliver in 605 as well.  Oddly, no one has been complaining about Slade and Son or the ongoing saga of Dinah's Dilemmas over on the anti-Felicity locations.  So I really don't think Felicity's screen time compared to Oliver's is the main driving force behind those complaints, lol.  To some, one minute on air is too much.

And unless he comes back again, he will probably come in last when everything is said and done in regards to screentime. I think Dinah will definitely be getting 3rd or 4th, I'd be surprised if she manages to usurp Felicity.

6x02 Dinah had more but they were virtually even and the order for 6x03 was OTA in 1-2-3. It wouldn't surprise me if they were even in acreentime or Felicity was actually ahead. 

[quarks]

Even without counting her Flash crossover, Felicity's ahead of Dinah so far this season.  And I think it's a safe bet that Felicity will be a pretty big part of the crossovers - probably not as big as Oliver, Kara, Barry, or Cisco, but big.  Dinah will presumably have a much smaller role - it's even possible that she'll only be in the Arrow part of the crossover.

Oliver, Felicity and Diggle will make out the top 3 when all is said and done. Dinah will probably come in fourth. Rene/Curtis is going to be a coin-toss, but I wouldn't be surprised if Curtis ultimately comes out on top because he's so deeply entwined with Felicity's storyline.

The thing that makes KA's twitter spree all the more idiotic is that he's egging on one group of fans and pissing off another about something that's not going to happen anyway. The show is not going to kill another female character, period.

Felicity is #2, with Diggle #3. BTW I'd bet good money that will be the season total order (as it has been since S3)

Not to mention, Felicity is an integral part of the show and he's a disposable guest star. His strategy is baffling, but whatever. Hope he enjoys the attention while it lasts.

[Guest]

I just checked and it seems he's liking every single tweet now so I'm gonna go with he's just enjoying the attention, whatever it is.

I'm getting flashbacks to RG last year.  There is a fortune to be made giving social media lessons to dude bros.

I enjoyed him on 12 Monkeys, too, and kind of peeked at his Twitter account, but it seemed pretty angry all the time to me and then

Spoiler

when he got killed off of 12 Monkeys (though of course who knows with that show), and I didn't see the rest of the case say anything about it on social media, I kind of wondered if he wasn't a nice person in real life.

 *shrug*

[apinknightmare]

Now he’s replying to tweets that are like fandom drama’s greatest hits, and I have immense secondhand embarrassment. I can’t imagine coming onto a show and getting that deep into it LOL. Yikes, and now his wife is calling people crazy. What a ride.

The top part is what I mean. She might have had an episode to herself so far but Dinah seems to be everywhere is what I'm getting at. It's just annoying for someone I find dull. 

[LeighAn]

I'm grossed out by both this tweet and the fact that he liked it:

 

Thats like those girls who tweet stuff like "I wouldn't mind being raped by Ed Westwick". 

 

ETA:

Also so apparently he was fired from the fringe. That completely (does not) shock me.

This "I wouldn't mind if X mudered" me thing is apparently a millennial meme, I have heard this in context with female actresses as well, I also think it's super creepy and not funny whatsoever. 

[EmilyBettFan]

Disgusting that they are letting that thing get close to the female cast.

Technically, sounds like he got laid off, but instead of acting professionally, he went to social media and blew it out of proportion. Looks like his penchant to speak without thinking goes way back.
