I'm happy for Katrina that she's starting to score more leading roles, but it saddens me that the Flarrowverse producers continue to underrate her. Nyssa would be a wonderful addition to LOT and I will never understand why they seemingly never considered the idea of transfering her to that show. 

I think part of it is if you added Nyssa, you would have TWO nonpowered females.  And Legends likes it's powered people.  AND has never been balanced with its female vs male cast.

I think it's also partly because if they added Nyssa, the fans would expect them to pair Nyssa and Sara up, and I'm not sure they're interested in doing that. 

No that would limit Sara's ability to Kirk it through out time. Not to mention more importantly for the writers, limit Nyssa's ability to be LL's new BFF (when she was alive) and make jokes about Oliver being her husband. That said she could have had her on that show for more than one FB scene, Ra's spent more time with Sara on LOT. But good on KL for getting a leading role. If wonder if it's more likely Nyssa will be a casualty now?

Executive-produced by rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, the show explores a world of gangs made up of police officers. Game of Thrones vet Sean Bean stars as hard-charging cop Tom Hammond, who used to be the ruthless leader of a prominent gang of those who are sworn to protect and serve.

Law — whose TV credits also include CBS’ cancelled Training Day and Spartacus: War of the Damned — will play tomboy police officer Karen Beach, the sole female in the Ravens cop gang. Karen gets involved in a forbidden affair with a member of a rival group.

The ensemble also includes True Blood‘s Ryan Kwanten, Lincoln Heights‘ Cory Hardrict and The Magicians‘ Arlen Escarpeta.

The Oath is slated to premiere on the streaming network in 2018.

Remember KC's movie, Wolves at the Door? I recently came across this review of that movie (warning: spoilers - and the review is negative)...

My first clue about the quality of the film set in 1969 would have been KC's character wearing that very 2017 cold shoulder dress.

Channel flipping this afternoon, I came across Anna Hopkins (Samantha) playing one of the evil stepsisters in a Cinderella/As You Like It update called After The Ball.  Starring Portia Doubleday with supporting actors Chris Noth, Colin Mockrie and Laurel Holly.

Better than the usual fare, partly due to a script by Jason Sherman (ReGenesis, Bloodletting and Other Miraculous Cures) but also because it's a tribute to Ann Silverstone, who owned The Little Shop, a well-known vintage shop in Montreal from her daughter, the CEO of Le Chateau who provided the clothes.

Who is Celina Jade? How the Hong Kong actress became China’s box-office queen
BY VIVIAN CHEN    8 AUG 2017
http://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/news-trends/article/2105919/who-celina-jade-and-how-hong-kong-actress-became-chinas

Quote

Celina Jade has been making the headlines this week. The Hong Kong actress’ latest work, Wolf Warrior 2, just became China’s biggest ever box-office hit.

After 12 days of screening, the film grossed a whopping 3.4 billion yuan (HK$4 billion) on the mainland by the end of Monday, dethroning Stephen Chow’s fantasy film The Mermaid (2016) as the biggest mainland box-office hit.
*  *  *
“It’s an incredible project because even though it’s a Chinese-invested movie, we’ve got Hollywood quality action and production,” says Jade, citing the film’s action director Sam Hargrave of Captain America-saga fame. “It’s a totally different kind of configuration from the past.”
*  *  *
Prior to Wolf Warrior sequel, she’s best known for her role in The CW’s superhero TV series titled Arrow. She has been working with Wolf Warrior 2 co-star Wu Jing since 2008. They both starred in the action flick Legendary Assassin.
*  *  *
After being on Arrow’s permanent cast for three years (2013-2016), Jade, who is also a singer, wants to focus on films this year. She will be starring in Jesse Johnson’s crime thriller Triple Threat.

“Again although it’s a Hollywood movie, it features three Asian lead actors,” Jade says. “It’s a really fun action movie. You’d really be rooting for the underdogs in this film.”

Even though more film projects are coming her way, Jade says she won’t necessarily turn down TV offers.

“It really comes down to the stories and the characters,” she says. “I’m not really interested in playing decorative Asian roles.”

I guess we won't be seeing Anarky back on Arrow any time soon...

Supernatural: Alexander Calvert upped to series regular for season 13
Samantha Highfill   August 9, 2017

Quote

EW can exclusively reveal that Alexander Calvert, who appeared briefly in the season 12 finale, will be a series regular for the show’s upcoming thirteenth season, in which he’ll reprise his role as Jack (better known as Lucifer’s son). But don’t expect Jack to be a younger version of Lucifer — he might be half angel, but he’s also half human.
*  *  *
As for Calvert, fans might recognize him from his stint playing Anarky on Arrow or, even more recently, as Nick in the 2016 film Edge of Seventeen....

I've started watching Timeless and I swear, it's like Moira Queen has been resurrected. It's only episode 2 

Spoiler

and already ST's character is revealed to have been lying to her about her parentage her whole life.

Does she get even more Moira-like as the show gets on? I'm getting Arrow vibes as is, what with the main trio, a shady organisation drawing strings to who knows what purpose, and a woman getting erased from existance because of time travelling shenanigans. Only here it matters a whole lot, as it rightfully should. #foreverbitter

She disappears for most of the series, I believe.  But there is a very Moira-twist in the season finale.

Brian Markinson aka Adam Hunt was in Salvation last night playing either the President or the Secretary of Defense.  I couldn't quite make out which.

I am shockingly enjoying Madison McLaughlin on the second season of Major Crimes.  She plays a normal teenage girl and has limited screentime.  Maybe that's the way to do it..

  • Love 1

In season 2 she played a classmate of Rusty's named Kris who was working on projects with him and developed a crush on him not knowing that he's gay.  She was in five episodes.

At one point Kris invites Rusty to a family dinner where he is honest about why he's under police protection and Kris' parents react badly, making Sharon angry and giving her to opportunity to give the mother one of those awesome Sharon Raydor putdowns.

I feel like I remember reading somewhere that she will have a larger role in s2. While not a huge presence in s1, I'll take her in any quantity they are willing to give. I find the actress to be very compelling. Count me in the #foreverbitter group that we lost her from Arrow!
