GHScorpiosRule February 6, 2018 Share February 6, 2018 So, I went back to rewatch the first couple of seasons; then I did the crossover on Arrow's Season Three ("Brave and the Bold") and Flash's Season One ("Arrow v. Flash") and here's what I come away with: Quentin loses his shit/mind over a dead daughter. Until Sara returned alive, he was going crazy over Sara, and everything was Sara, Sara, Sara, much to Laurel's dismay. And when she was killed and resurrected, but just rage, he still saw her as his Sara. Now, it's Laurel, Laurel, Laurel! Sure, Black Siren ISN'T Laurel, but I see the parallels. Another thing: I loved Barry the Scientist. All that time traveling dumbed him down. Yes, yes, I know I've reopened that keg by mentioning the TT. But he was ADORBS his first season. And finally: Oliver, Diggle and Felicity don't NEED the NOOBS. I MISS ROY. It's too bad real life issues caused Colton to leave the show. But he was FUCKING MORE likeable, competent and was assimilated so seamlessly. And someone on this show must have been fans of STARZ'S Spartacus. Because we had recast Spartacus, Katrina Law, Dude who played the Captain Boomerang, Manu Bennett, skinny Amanda Waller (who ironically was a recast and played Bennett's love/wife on Spartacus). I wonder why they didn't try to get Lucy Lawless! 7 Link to comment

tv echo February 6, 2018 Share February 6, 2018 (edited) This week on DC TV (the title of this video is misleading with respect to Arrow)... #DCTV: Black Lightning’s Life in Danger, Supergirl Fights New Worldkiller, Team Arrow Reunites Published on Feb 5, 2018, by DC -- DC's Hector Navarro: "And later this week, on Thursday night, on an all new Arrow, Cayden James, played by Michael Emerson, who's one of my favorite actors of all time - I love Michael Emerson - learns a secret about the Green Arrow that pushes him over the edge, into launching an attack on Oliver Queen himself and everybody whom he holds dear. Oliver must decide, is he going to be able to do this alone, or does he need to call on the help of his old team mates? Meanwhile, William is asking for more of Oliver's time... And Oliver Queen, dealing with Cayden James, might have to contend with the fact that he is trying to reason with a man who can no longer be reasoned with. And that's happening on Arrow Thursday night." Edited February 6, 2018 by tv echo Link to comment
tv echo February 6, 2018 Share February 6, 2018 (edited) THERE ARE TOO MANY DC COMICS TV SHOWS BY JESSE SCHEEDEN 5 FEB 2018http://www.ign.com/articles/2018/02/05/there-are-too-many-dc-comics-tv-shows Quote Following the Arrowverse alone has become a full-time commitment. Assuming you lump the Greg Berlanti-produced Black Lightning in with the other shows (despite the fact that, for now, it's not connected to the other shows' continuity), that's five hour-long DC series airing every single week. That's asking fans to devote a significant chunk of their weekly TV viewing habits to one superhero universe. And too often it feels like the Arrowverse has suffered from growing so massive in scale. Both The Flash and Arrow are trapped in what many would argue are their worst seasons to date. Of these shows, only Legends of Tomorrow has maintained a relatively consistent level of quality from year to year. At some point, you have to ask if the Arrowverse isn't guilty of prioritizing quantity over quality. * * * This dilemma is really becoming apparent with the recent announcement of Metropolis, another series exclusive to the DC streaming app. Metropolis is basically the Superman franchise's answer to Gotham, exploring Lois Lane and Lex Luthor's respective struggles in the city before the arrival of Superman. Why DC would even want to replicate the Gotham formula is unclear. Gotham may draw respectable ratings for Fox, but it's also been critically savaged in the past and mocked for its handling of many of Batman's iconic villains. Often, the show seems hellbent on cramming as many Batman elements as possible into a pre-Batman setting, and I fear Metropolis will suffer from that same lack of storytelling discipline. Not to mention that Gotham at least has its young version of Bruce Wayne to fall back on. Presumably, young Clark Kent won't be a part of Metropolis. Even if Metropolis avoids the storytelling missteps of Gotham, it's still going to be a live-action Superman series struggling to co-exist alongside two other, completely unrelated Superman series - Supergirl and Krypton. Is there really that much demand for new Superman content? Not only will fans have three different Superman shows vying for their attention, all three are shows that will feature little to nothing of Superman himself. It's painful enough watching Supergirl constantly jump through hoops to justify keeping Superman off-screen and uninvolved in his cousin's adventures. At least viewers can still look forward to the occasional appearance by Tyler Hoechlin's Superman. Neither Krypton nor Metropolis can even rely on that much. * * * Another concern is that DC and WB have often taken a very heavy-handed approach when it comes to allowing multiple incarnations of the same character to exist in live-action form. There's a reason Smallville was never allowed to use iconic characters like Batman, Wonder Woman or Barry Allen's Flash. Arrow was forced to quietly kill off Amanda Waller and the Suicide Squad a couple seasons back. Now the series has been barred from using Deathstroke, in order to make way for the character's DC movie debut. Who's to say these same sorts of problems won't crop up for these Superman shows? Will Metropolis ensure that we never see Lois Lane and Lex Luthor on Supergirl? Will Brainiac become off limits for Supergirl and Metropolis once he appears on Krypton? It's all too easy to imagine a scenario where Superman's supporting cast becomes divided up among the three shows, to the inevitable detriment of all.

tv echo February 6, 2018 Share February 6, 2018 (edited) Networks Bet Big on Female-Driven Pilots, but How Many Will Make It to Series? By Joe Otterson and Daniel Holloway February 6, 2018http://variety.com/2018/tv/news/networks-female-driven-pilots-1202687730/ Quote Pilot season is in full swing, with networks having ordered dozens of trial episodes in recent weeks. Only a fraction of those shot will be picked up to series in time for upfront presentations. But a look at the pilots ordered through Feb. 2 indicates that when networks make their pitches to advertisers in May, many will be touting new programs that feature women in front of and behind the camera. Of the 66 broadcast pilots ordered thus far, 27 hail from female writer-executive producers, and 32 have female lead or co-lead characters. * * * Multiple TV literary agents who spoke with Variety said that broadcast networks are taking steps to increase female representation this pilot season, particularly on dramas series and in the director’s chair. One agent noted that minority directors are also being sought. The CW has the greatest female representation so far, with seven of nine pilots hailing from writer-exec producers who are women and eight of nine featuring female leads or co-leads. When network president Mark Pedowitz arrived in 2012, he made a point of courting long-absent male viewers with superhero action series such as “Arrow” and “Flash.” But the current crop of pilots reflects a recent push begun with soaps such as “Riverdale” and “Dynasty” to again bolster female viewership. * * * Schulman cautions that the proof of whether Time’s Up is impacting programming strategy will be revealed not in pilots ordered but in how many go to series. “Maybe women will get a better-than-average number of at-bats in terms of pilots,” she said. “But what gets on the schedule is the endgame.” Edited February 6, 2018 by tv echo Link to comment

I wouldn't call either Flash or Arrow their worst seasons this year, and I'd even argue that this season of LoT isn't as strong as last season (still enjoyable, yes, but the villain work this season has kind of been sloppy so far imo and I guess I'm just feeling off from the kind of lackluster imo first two episodes of the season). Even if you say LoT retains its quality (which is weird to say "year to "year" since that includes the definitely not quality s1), it's kind of hypocritical to be all "there are too many shows!! But the show that very much depended on being a spinoff of the other shows is the best one, ok" 2 Link to comment
Sakura12 February 6, 2018 Share February 6, 2018 I'd consider this season's Flash being the worst, last season was dour, but not near as stupid as this season. I stopped watching Arrow after season 2 so I can't comment on that. I'd go with LoT getting better year to year. The villains this season on LoT are not as interesting but I've enjoyed more episodes this season than last season. 2 Link to comment

Well personally, it just throws me out of the show a bit to think that Superman's just sitting out all these world-ending crises, especially now that we've met him. "Eh, sorry, my calendar's full this week." And especially when Kara's been so publicly taken out of commission.

Making Kara weak has nothing to do with Superman not being there. That's on the writers of Supergirl. Plus if this was a Superman show we'd never hear where is Supergirl? how come she's not helping out her cousin? No one would even think about her because he's SuperMan. When I was watching Supergirl, I never cared about where Superman was, this was not his show. I know he's the big name but none of these other character will be able to stand out if they are always depending on major character to save them. I don't need them to tell me where he is either, Kara lives in National City, Clark lives in Metropolis, he has his own city to take care off and lets Kara deal with hers. If she fails that's on her just like if he fails it's on him. They don't need to be together all the time. They have the same powers they should be able to do things on their own. 4 Link to comment

That's perfectly fine if they're dealing with stuff that just affects the city, but when they're dealing with massive world-affecting/destroying stuff, it's hard to understand why it's not all hands on deck. And when Kara gets taken out of commission, it'd be nice to have a mention that he'd at least checked on her/tried to help. That's why I said that it'd be better if Superman wasn't even in the picture at all. But once you do introduce the character, it's hard to just ignore that Kara isn't the only Kryptonian on the planet. Quote Plus if this was a Superman show we'd never hear where is Supergirl? how come she's not helping out her cousin? No one would even think about her because he's SuperMan. Actually, if Supergirl existed in a Superman show, I would absolutely wonder where she was and why she didn't show up to help out in massive world-ending crises, or if Clark got his ass kicked on national TV.

tennisgurl February 6, 2018 Share February 6, 2018 4 hours ago, tv echo said: THERE ARE TOO MANY DC COMICS TV SHOWS I find this to be a bit unfair. Really, with the exceptions of the crossovers and a few quick references, you can watch most of the shows independent of each other, and can follow things pretty easily by checking Wikipedia or something if something gets referenced. I also wouldn't call this the worst season of Arrow or Flash, not by a long shot. They are both very flawed (especially Arrow and its awful NTA gang) but not quite abysmal. LoT is weird in that the overall plot is less interesting than last season, but I like many of the individual episodes better. But I agree that LoT is the most consistently high quality of all the shows. Critics were endlessly gushing about the Arrowverse during Crisis on Earth X for the most part (especially saying how it was better than the DCEU) but now, its too much? Crossovers like that couldn't happen without multiple shows and tons of super characters. As for the "why doesn't Superman show up?" question, yeah it is pretty ridiculous that Clark hasn't stopped by with the whole Reign thing, or they haven't just said he went off world or something, but its kind of just a part of the comic book genre. In comics, there are so many villains and threats popping up every other day, and so many heroes fighting them, and so many costumes and scientists and cops and magical creatures and aliens and all kinds of stuff running around, that people tend to stick to their area or their niche, unless its a BIG event or something. Its hard to have a superhero universe with some new world destroying villain showing up every Thursday and call in everyone to help. So, I just deal with that as being a necessary hole in the genre, especially one like the Arrowverse that hasn't been around for as long as the comics, or even the MCU. 3 Link to comment
Primal Slayer February 7, 2018 Share February 7, 2018 Not that many people question where is Barry or the Legends when something go down on Arrow. Why? Because we get to see where week to week lives and know that they are fighting their own fights. It's harder when you have a big established character like Supes who doesnt have his own show to go "well Superman is fighitng blahblahblah" this week so of course he isn't in Supergirl. But thats why you just make an off handed comment. As far as that DC article goes...there being to many DC shows isn't harming Flash/Arrow. Flash/Arrow are harming themselves by telling half-assed storylines. 1 Link to comment
statsgirl February 7, 2018 Share February 7, 2018 The problem is that they just couldn't resist having Superman appear on Supergirl, and once you open that door, it stays open. They don't even try to shut it by saying he's off world or something like that. Did people say "there are too many CSI shows on air"? Or too many Law & Order? Last season with Chicago Justice there were five show linked but I don't remember people complaining other than when the shows were bad. Gotham and Lucifer aren't even linked into the Arowverse. I don't think much of Jesse Schedeen's writing and this article hasn't made me change my opinion. 7 Link to comment

I fully recognize all the cringeworthy stuff with Dibny and it was very cringeworthy and how lame a resolution they came up with to free Barry but I still can't help enjoying Katee Sackhoff's horrid accent and silly character and I loved seeing the Scottish doc from Stargate Atlantis (Ralph's friend) and I'm pretty sure Wolf was played by a guy that did a memorable episode of Firefly so that was fun and I really like Becky Sharp and enjoyed Barry using his brains to break out. And Ralph morphing into other characters meant less Ralph to deal with. I had also thought the new Devoe was pretty, but an awful actor so I much prefer Becky playing Devoe (and since she's not dead, she might still be in there and thus might have a chance of being saved by the end of this thing too) At least the actress is animated and interesting to watch. (I'd prefer old Devoe most but that's not an option) I'm also finding what's going on with Devoe's wife interesting. So yeah, the Flash kept me amused when I fully expected to hate it. 2 Link to comment

catrox14 February 7, 2018 Share February 7, 2018 1 hour ago, BkWurm1 said: I weirdly went a different way and think it is one of my preferred episodes of the season. I fully recognize all the cringeworthy stuff with Dibny and it was very cringeworthy and how lame a resolution they came up with to free Barry but I still can't help enjoying Katee Sackhoff's horrid accent and silly character and I loved seeing the Scottish doc from Stargate Atlantis (Ralph's friend) and I'm pretty sure Wolf was played by a guy that did a memorable episode of Firefly so that was fun and I really like Becky Sharp and enjoyed Barry using his brains to break out. And Ralph morphing into other characters meant less Ralph to deal with. I had also thought the new Devoe was pretty, but an awful actor so I much prefer Becky playing Devoe (and since she's not dead, she might still be in there and thus might have a chance of being saved by the end of this thing too) At least the actress is animated and interesting to watch. (I'd prefer old Devoe most but that's not an option) I'm also finding what's going on with Devoe's wife interesting. So yeah, the Flash kept me amused when I fully expected to hate it. I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be a comedic episode or a dramedy and neither was good IMO. The entire prison break thing annoyed me to no end and I think Barry in prison was just stupid all along. I thought the resolution with Dibny pretending to be Devoe was absurd. n a city with meta humans who can become anyone shouldn't the judge have at least demanded some kind of DNA test from Devoe before releasing Barry so quickly? I should probably just stop watching the show because I haven't liked Barry for a long time. I don't really like the Flash's stories that much either. 2 Link to comment
catrox14 February 7, 2018 Share February 7, 2018 Just now, catrox14 said: I had also thought the new Devoe was pretty, but an awful actor I was also annoyed with how they wasted Kendrick. He was great on SPN. His character on SPN was really good and it showed Kendrick's range. I hope this means he shows back up on SPN. IMO Devoe is a boring one note character and I thought Knderick was playing Devoe just as one note as the original actor so for me he nailed that part LOL. 1 Link to comment
catrox14 February 7, 2018 Share February 7, 2018 Also, just because Devoe showed up alive after being stabbed, wouldn't Barry still be on the hook for attempted murder? Would he have to go back on trial? I'm not following how that all worked. I mean it's stupid and I shouldn't expect realistic legal things but someone needs to explain to me how the judge could just be like "OK BARRY IS FREE TO GO!". What am I missing here? LOL 1 Link to comment
lemotomato February 7, 2018 Share February 7, 2018 (edited) Wouldn't they have done an autopsy on DeVoe's dead body to determine cause and time of death? Does all that evidence disappear just because someone that looks like him shows up? How does the justice system on this show work?? Edited February 7, 2018 by lemotomato 2 Link to comment

Not sure where that falls on the diversity scale but at least it's not totally white bread. It might as well be. Representation matters and how many green or blue people (or talking trees or raccoons) do you know? Link to comment

BUT for ME, he will always be the AWESOME ADA Paul Robinette from original recipe (first three seasons) Law & Order. But then Dickless Wolf turned him into POD!Paul when Brooks reprised his role and returned as a defense attorney. But that's a rant I've already vented about in the appropriate show thread. 5 hours ago, lemotomato said: Wouldn't they have done an autopsy on DeVoe's dead body to determine cause and time of death?

All the CW hero shows (can't speak for Black Lightening as they've yet to show courtroom procedures), SUCK at how lawyers work, how courts work, how the LAW is supposed to work.

Seriously. I hated what they did to Robinette on his return appearances. Very good actor though, sorry I missed him, had no idea he was on Flash last night.

Primal Slayer February 7, 2018 Share February 7, 2018 Tv always takes liberties with whatever career they portray for the most part, even How To Get Away with Murder doesn't do accurate portrayals from what I've heard so I don't think it is just a CW thing but they just like to have their go-to careers for characters 1 Link to comment
