statsgirl October 25, 2017 Share October 25, 2017 If Joe doesn't want any more children, get a vasectomy. Just sayin'. 2 hours ago, quarks said: The writer/producer doubling seems to be another budget/cost saving thing - they have the writers working with the production/set/scheduling people to get a sense of what actually can be in the episode. AK was talking about a season one episode where their set guys looked at the script and said, well, we can't do that, but maybe we could do this. There's multiple reasons for this. One, the writers weren't responsible for the big thing that triggered the drop in the live numbers for season four: the Oliver/Felicity breakup. They just wrote the dialogue. (Badly, in my opinion, but that's a separate topic.) From my armchair quarterback position, I think having the writers double as producers may be a good thing for them too. It can give them a sense of what's possible and what's not. Often creativity comes out of trying to work around restrictions. That said, I'm not sure the writers haven't a greater responsibility in the drop in numbers because of the break-up. Breaking up Oliver and Felicity would have been unpopular in Olicity quarters but I think how it was done was the real killer for the general fan. 7 hours ago, BkWurm1 said: Wally left after no one noticed he was gone all episode and when Cecile suggested Joe sell the house, only Barry got consulted about losing his childhood home. Sorry Iris. But was anyone surprised? Barry's Special Snowflake status really gets in the way of making this a better-written show because it stagnates the show and also makes people behave in ridiculous ways that they excuse Because Barry. (I'm still angry about Barry repeatedly lying to Patty because of what it says about Barry.) When they move on to giving some autonomy to the other characters, such as Cisco's romance or even Iris taking greater leadership in the team, the show becomes more interesting. 4 hours ago, Miss Dee said: It made me realize that for all we laugh at how entertainly stupid the show is, the Legends writers really are pretty adroit for the most part with how they inject humour and goofiness into the show. Yes. We laugh at The Flash but we laugh with LoT. And spreading out the storylines over eight characters gives them a lot more to work with. 4 Link to comment

As the Kingpin crime lord, the Emmy nominee was the main villain in Season 1 of the Netflix series and made an imprisoned appearance in last year’s Season 2. The ex-Law & Order actor hinted to fans recently that official word on his Daredevil return was in the cards with a banner photo of the Fisk character up on his Twitter page In Addition to D’Onofrio’s return, Erik Oleson will be taking over as showrunner as things gear up on the New York City set of the Charlie Cox-led series. Marvel and Netflix haven’t announced a launch date for Daredevil‘s Season 3 — nor for Jessica Jones or Luke Cage’s second seasons for that matter. * * *Oleson, most recently an executive producer and writer on Amazon’s The Man in the High Castle, more than made his superhero bones from spending a season and more as a co-EP on the CW’s Arrow.

Don’t expect this one to stick around much longer. * * *LOSER (NEW SHOW): Valour Confession: The CW is my favourite network and I will pretty much watch anything they air, whether it’s their superhero franchises or their female-forward dramedies like Jane the Virgin and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. But even I couldn’t pretend to be interested in their new military drama – and apparently, I wasn’t alone. The series debut came in last place on the night of its premiere in the key 18-49 demo. Even for The CW (the network which cares the least about ratings), that’s gotta hurt. * * *WINNER (RETURNING SHOW): Riverdale The second season of the teen soap Riverdale managed to achieve the impossible: the ratings nearly doubled year over year – even though it moved timeslots and had no lead-in. It even outperformed new episodes of CW mainstays like Arrow and Supernatural, and it grew its teen audience by a whopping 400%. Perhaps the end of Pretty Little Liars left younger viewers looking for a new sexy, mystery-filled soap. We’re also guessing that the first season being available on Netflix over the summer meant audiences could binge and catch up before the second season began. * * *LOSER (RETURNING SHOW): Comic Book Superheroes Is superhero fatigue finally setting in? Supergirl’s premiere tied with its series low, while The Flash had its lowest rated season premiere to date. Despite their viewership drops, we don’t expect these two super-powered protectors to hang up their capes anytime soon since they are on a network that doesn’t worry too much about ratings. The same may not be true for Fox’s Gotham, which hit an all-time ratings low this season. Link to comment

JJ928 October 26, 2017 Share October 26, 2017 I've never been the biggest Legends fan, it was just too much for me. I don't know if it's that the world is a mess, me needing something light, but I decided to give it a chance this season. I heard Vixen was getting focus, and they were bringing in Zari, two things that interested me and I'm surprised to say I have really enjoyed it. I didn't like the eps I saw last season, with the exception of the xover, but this season has been somewhat ridiculously charming? I will admit that I am surprised with myself & just how much I enjoyed those last 3 eps. Flash was also a show I dropped. Last year I would DVR and ff everything to only watch Iris scenes lol. I hated the Savitar story and them showing Iris being killed over and over, but I've enjoyed these last few eps. Granted, I still hate Barry, can't stand Caitlin, Cisco I like but he also gets on my nerves, and Wally is just there. However, all the Iris stuff has made it worth it to me. I've really enjoyed her and her material this season, so while it's still on DVR (because I watch Lethal Weapon live), I'm not ff as much. 8 Link to comment

It wasn't always great but it ended up being consistently fun and finally had some Flarrowverse writers who knew how to write for an ensemble and mix and match characters every week. Even the LOD had an episode where they argued over the mission and then learned the value of teamwork and honesty. :) And they did the greatest thing of all, made me happy that Malcolm Merlyn was still alive to chew scenery. The first two episodes of this season were slightly meh, especially ep 2 IMHO but ep 3 has more than made up for it and Ep 4 with Teeny Ray looks fun. I will laugh if they use the same street for Ray's childhood home as they did for Olicity's domesticity in same location in S4.

tv echo October 27, 2017 Share October 27, 2017 (edited) Discussed latest episodes of LoT, Arrow, Flash, Supergirl and Gotham (Arrow section is quoted in Starling City Times thread)... DC TV Watch: Meet 'Legends of Tomorrow's' Newest Team Member OCTOBER 27, 2017 8:00am PT by Sydney Bucksbaumhttp://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/dc-tv-watch-legends-tomorrow-tala-ashe-interview-1052182 Quote A surprising connection | But one person she'll bond with is Amaya (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) because they both possess mystical totems that grant them powers. “It’s still a bit of a mystery, but I know that the totems are what’s bringing them together and what links them to Kuasa, who is also a totem-bearer,” Ashe said. “The connection between the totem-bearers does come to a larger part of the season at a certain point.” Executive producers Marc Guggenheim and Phil Klemmer revealed that Zari's totem comes directly from the Zambesi totem storyline explored in CW Seed's animated series Vixen season two. "Not that it's required viewing, but if you wanted a sense as to where we're headed, Vixen season two is what I would check out," Guggenheim teased. That arc introduced the fire totem, and it's clear Zari currently possesses an air totem which allows her to fly. Meanwhile, villain Kuasa is able to dissolve into and weaponize water, so she's using some kind of water totem. Klemmer revealed that an earth totem along with a "mystery totem" will later be introduced this season. Much-needed female bonding | What's most exciting about Zari's addition to the team is the opportunity it brings for some badass female empowerment storylines between her, Amaya and Sara (Caity Lotz). “Since the beginning of the show we recognized that there was not a lot of estrogen on the bridge of the Waverider,” Guggenheim said. “We really, really wanted to bring on another female character.” Ashe is proud that in most episodes, they're passing the Bechdel test and promised some exciting scenes with all three ladies are coming in future episodes. That ending explained | It was the stinger scene at the end of the episode, however, that delivered the biggest shock of the night as it revealed Ray's (Brandon Routh) past that looked more than a little familiar as a flashback showed him as a young boy riding his bike away from a group of bullies only to find a friendly extraterrestrial being in the woods. Next week's episode will continue that storyline and reveal what happened in Ray's past to make him who he is today. "We're doing an episode where it's a send up to the Amblin films of the '80s, very Stranger Things," Guggenheim teased. "It's a story as Ray Palmer as a young boy befriends an alien, kind of like Elliot in ET, the twist being the alien he befriends is a baby Dominator. Chaos ensues. It's crazy. You don't even know." Added Klemmer, "There's a dance number. Someone has sex with – well, not fully, but somebody [tries] with a space alien. And it's going to be on Halloween, which is perfect."

tv echo October 27, 2017 Share October 27, 2017 (edited) Kyle and Natalie talked about this week's episodes of Supergirl, Flash, LoT and Arrow (Kyle also raved about Thor: Ragnorak)... Superhero Insider: New and returning faces step up on CW's super series NATALIE ABRAMS OCTOBER 27, 2017 http://ew.com/tv/2017/10/27/superhero-insider-arrow-flash-supergirl-legends-tomorrow/ -- Kyle saw a screening of Thor: Ragnorak last night and said; "You guys - and I am very comfortable in declaring this - my favorite of the MCU movies. It's so good. It's incredibly - I mean, it's incredibly funny... but also some of the action beats are some of the best stuff they've done... It looks amazing. I haven't had this much fun at a comic book movie since probably the first Guardians of the Galaxy. It is on that level of utter cinematic joy... I wholeheartedly endorse it." He also teased that there are "a series of cameos in the first, like, ten or twenty minutes of the movie that are all spectacular." Edited October 27, 2017 by tv echo 2 Link to comment
tv echo October 27, 2017 Share October 27, 2017 (edited) I was very surprised by some of this writer's picks for "Good" and "Bad," especially since this article is published at CBR (f/k/a ComicBookResources) - needless to say, I agree with some picks but disagree with other picks... 8 Horribly Cast Arrowverse Roles (And 7 They Actually Got Right) Oct. 26, 2017 by Shaun Stacyhttps://www.cbr.com/bad-and-good-arrowverse-castings/ Quote 14. GOOD: STEPHEN AMELL AS OLIVER QUEEN/GREEN ARROW . . . A seasoned actor who has had roles in edgy shows like Queer as Folk and Hung, Stephen Amell was relatively unknown when he was first cast as Oliver Queen/Green Arrow. However, he soon won fans over with his earnest portrayal of the haunted hero of Star City who struggles for redemption while keeping his city safe. While the storylines haven’t always been able to allow this actor to shine, it is Amell’s performance that is one of the main reasons people still watch the show after five seasons. * * *10. GOOD: EMILY BETT RICKARDS AS FELICITY SMOAK . . . Emily Bett Rickards was cast as Felicity Smoak in what was only meant to be a one-episode guest star stint in season one, but following positive reaction from her co-stars, Warner Brothers and viewers, she was upgraded to a series regular in season two and has been an integral part of Team Arrow ever since. Not bad for a girl who starred in a Nickelback video. * * *7. BAD: KATIE CASSIDY AS BLACK CANARY . . . Considered a modern-day scream queen after turns in Black Christmas and A Nightmare on Elm Street, Katie Cassidy had her breakthrough in television when she was cast as Arrow‘s Laurel Lance in 2012. While she did fine playing Laurel as an attorney, it was when she took up the mantle of her dead sister’s superhero identity, Black Canary, when the real problem started. The look of the new Black Canary was off-putting and Cassidy seem to be uncomfortable in the role, which showed. * * *5. BAD: GRANT GUSTIN AS THE FLASH . . . Unlike John Wesley Shipp, the actor who played the Flash in the 1990 series, Grant Gustin completely misses the mark of being a lighthearted speedster who is trying to learn how to use his powers to help people. Gustin’s performance has been all over the place, from being overly naive to the cockier, more self-centered Flash as of late. Gustin could take some cues from Shipp’s performance by adding more depth to his character. * * *3. BAD: JOSH SEGARRA AS PROMETHEUS . . . Josh Segarra has been acting for more than a decade, so when it came to light who Prometheus was on Arrow, we were hoping for just a bit more of a performance than what was delivered. As Adrian Chase he worked alongside Oliver Queen for the first half of the season, then it just went downhill from there. Chucking pretty much any link to the source material, this Prometheus seems meant to be The Joker to Green Arrow’s Batman, leaving most of their interactions feeling forced. 15. BAD: DANIELLE PANABAKER AS KILLER FROST 14. GOOD: STEPHEN AMELL AS OLIVER QUEEN/GREEN ARROW 13. BAD: CHRIS WOOD AS MON-EL 12. GOOD: CAITY LOTZ AS SARA LANCE/WHITE CANARY 11. BAD: CANDICE PATTON AS IRIS WEST 10. GOOD: EMILY BETT RICKARDS AS FELICITY SMOAK 9. BAD: MEHCAD BROOKS AS JAMES OLSEN 8. GOOD: VICTOR GARBER AS MARTIN STEIN 7. BAD: KATIE CASSIDY AS BLACK CANARY 6. GOOD: CALISTA FLOCKHART AS CAT GRANT 5. BAD: GRANT GUSTIN AS THE FLASH 4. GOOD: JOHN BARROWMAN AS MALCOLM MERLYN 3. BAD: JOSH SEGARRA AS PROMETHEUS 2. GOOD: MELISSA BENOIST AS KARA ZOR-EL/SUPERGIRL 1. BAD: CIARA RENEE AS HAWKGIRL Edited October 27, 2017 by tv echo 1 Link to comment

TwistedandBored October 28, 2017 Share October 28, 2017 Just now, apinknightmare said: I thought @Primal Slayer meant someone more famous and this made me laugh. LMAO! I read it wrong. I was thinking of why they didn't go with someone who is a little bulkier if they were gonna go with a less known actor and thought she meant the same. 1 Link to comment
