Velocity23 April 27, 2019 Share April 27, 2019 I honestly feel the fact that they changed the name of the con for London, ditched their old website speaks of the fact that their event is kind of sketchy. People also didnt get their money get for past canceled cons. Also both Barrowman and Amell stop doing the con in around 2018. Which i always found weird because since the beginning they were always the first ones listed. 1 Link to comment

Mary0360 April 28, 2019 Share April 28, 2019 On twitter people were saying that the reason Colton cancelled was because con organiser wouldn’t or didn’t pay for his plane tickets or hotel. Which my question is- why couldn’t Colton pay for that himself? Especially since they take home tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars from those events. Which brings me to the conclusion that there’s nothing sketchy or shady behind this, but simply it being about money. The con not wanting to pay money that the talent is owed or feels they are owed and the talent wanting more money then the con organisers are willing or able to give. Which is why Stephen is able to book a con for the same city and dates as a con he cancelled without feeling any guilt about fans who are going to lose out money from dodgy con business practices (which were probably in place when Stephen was involved financially in the con and happy to attend).

The con not wanting to pay money that the talent is owed or feels they are owed and the talent wanting more money then the con organisers are willing or able to give. If the con had agreed to foot the bill for his travel expenses and they didn't abide by their contract, then there's everything sketchy and shady about it, no matter how much Colton could afford to pay for himself. If they bailed on paying the travel fees (and their tweet about it does indicate that it was something along these lines), then Colton has no reason to believe that they wouldn't break other terms of the contract as it suits them. And if the con isn't able to abide by their contractual terms because they've mismanaged their cash flow, it isn't on any of the con guests to extend themselves financially to help them out of a jam of their own creation. They're running a business, not a charity - and if they can't run that business then they should shut it down (which it seems like they are in the process of doing, if the info in this tweet is any indication). Quote Which is why Stephen is able to book a con for the same city and dates as a con he cancelled without feeling any guilt about fans who are going to lose out money from dodgy con business practices (which were probably in place when Stephen was involved financially in the con and happy to attend). Stephen can be a dickhead on social media, but he doesn't have any kind of history whatsoever that indicates he's happy screwing his fans over. His behavior has always indicated the opposite. And I can't say what went on behind the scenes when Stephen was still involved with the company, but it seems as if they've cut ties now and I don't blame anyone for hopping off of a sinking ship. 10 Link to comment
olicityfan25 April 28, 2019 Share April 28, 2019 I don't know why you wouldn't just pay for the ticket yourself (even if the con wouldn't/forgot to pay your plane ticket.) You would get your money back plus even more just sitting there doodling your name for a bunch of fans. 1 Link to comment

I dont think its an issue of being able to afford it. But that the con didnt follow through with what they agreed on. My question is did they even secure him a room?

tv echo May 1, 2019 Share May 1, 2019 (edited) Adrian Paul's May 19th 'Sword Experience' event will feature a re-enactment of Arrow's fight scene between Oliver Queen and Ra's al Ghul... Lakeland Florida – Sun N Fun: An Arrow Experience May 19 @ 9:30 am - 2:30 pm $52.50 – $362.25 https://swordxp.com/event/lakeland-florida-on-may-19th/ Quote After Adrian’s recently recurring character as Dante, in the CW series Arrow, we thought it would be fun to highlight a sword fight from the show’s successful seven season run. In the series, a code of honor in League of Assassins’ Law, entitles Oliver Queen a trial by combat to face the deadly assassin Ra’s al Ghul, atop an icy mountain. The fight begins with Ra’s dodging each attack with his hands behind his back and soon disarming Oliver, taking one of his blades to fight against him. The fight could have taken place anywhere, given that Arrow films in many locations, including warehouses, deserted street and airports. So on May 19 with vintage airplanes as a backdrop, you will get the chance to re-enact a fight that Adrian could well have performed, having been at one point considered for the role of Ra’s al Ghul. The location is the amazing Sun ‘N Fun vintage airplane hangar, just minutes from Lakeland, Florida and easily accessible from Tampa and Orlando. During your five-hour experience, you will be taken through the fight, using the sword experience attack and defense numbering system. It will be as if you’re rehearsing for your appearance on the set of Arrow. Any experience level is welcome, whether you’re wielding a sword for the first time or returning to hone your skills. ....

Featherhat May 2, 2019 Share May 2, 2019 I'm sure Matt Nable was a lot cheaper but if there's one villain you don't want to skimp on it's Ra's, especially with Liam Neeson being so recent in people's memory.

tv echo May 6, 2019 Share May 6, 2019 (edited) #ThrowBackMonday - I came across these old E! interviews with SA, KC and DR, which were done the day after Season 1's finale aired (so May 16, 2013) - interesting... E! Interviewer: "Felicity and Oliver. Such a huge fanbase. What can you tell me? Do you want it to happen? Will it happen?" SA: "I want us to keep working together. I want people to keep enjoying it." E! Interviewer: "What are you hoping for Season 2?" KC: "Hopefully, my character, she is - she's an attorney who obviously has gone through a lot, as you saw last night. She lost her boyfriend, so there will certainly be some heartbreak. Um, she also is becoming stronger and she's very driven, very independent, but she's starting to stand up for what she believes in and maybe not always go through justice. And hopefully Season 2, um, she's sort of going to be evolving into the Black Canary." E! Interviewer: "Now you're part of a pretty powerful love triangle, because a lot of fans really want you to be with Oliver, and then a lot of the fans really love Oliver with Felicity. So what's your take on that? And what are you hoping happens romantically?" KC: "Um, I just think it causes - it just causes more juice and drama, which everybody loves."E! Interviewer: "Good television."KC: "Exactly. Very good television. You know, I think Laurel and Oliver have been together - have, have - they're like star-crossed lovers. It makes me think of Joey and Pacey from Dawson's Creek, or Romeo and Juliet. You know, I feel like, at the end of the day, they should be, but it's always that 'will-they, won't they' that, you know, the audience - you want to watch that. You want to see the, you know, we want them to be together, but then there's always going to be something. So hopefully, at some point, they will end up together, but I have a feeling it's going to be a very long road." E! Interviewer: "What are you hoping for in S2? And have you heard anything about where it might be headed?" DR: "Yes, I have. And the writers - the writers have really amped the ante in Season 2. I mean, they just give the actors glimpses of what they have planned. And it's just - it's just crazy. I mean, They don't sit on their laurels. Just go higher and higher and higher. So you never know. They keep us guessing." Edited May 6, 2019 by tv echo 2 Link to comment
