TSR’s Week of Iconic Ships
Jul 26, 2018 by Team TSR
http://theseriesregulars.com/tsrs-week-of-iconic-ships/

Quote

We’ve noticed that you guys tend to get very passionate when it comes to your favorite ships. We do too. And we think shipping is a beautiful thing — it’s worth celebrating. So today we are announcing our first ever official Week of Ships!

Here’s how this works:

• Below is a list (in random order) of 100 ships nominated by our writers. Whether they are controversial, groundbreaking, or just plain old soulmates, someone on our team deemed each of these 100 couples iconic enough to nominate.
• We need you guys to narrow this list down to only 7 — one for each day of our ship week. You can vote for up to 7 ships, but keep in mind that we won’t do two days devoted to the same show. So if Shadowhunters‘ Malec gets the most votes and Shadowhunters’ Clace comes in second, only Malec will get a day. This is because we are hoping to celebrate lots of different TV fandoms during the Week of Ships. Did we miss the most iconic ship of all? Don’t worry, there’s a write-in option! Type it in and let us know how badly we messed up (but be nice!)
• If your ship wins, you aren’t done after voting — we want to celebrate YOU, along with the couple you love. The TSR staff will be writing articles and tweeting about the ship, but we want to hear from you, too. Any fan of a winning ship is encouraged to submit guest articles about why their ship is so iconic. We will also be highlighting fan art! But we will get more into that once the winners have been announced.

Update: At 5 PM EST on Friday, July 27th, the poll was reset to zero and new measures were implemented to prevent cheating. Thank you for your patience!

Poll ends Friday, August 3rd at 10 AM EST

LMAO that “Lauricity” and Laurel and Tommy were options from Arrow, but not Laurel and Oliver. Also, Lauricity? What? Show me five people who have shipped Laurel and Felicity. 

[BkWurm1]

And they combined the Lois and Clark ship form both Smallville and Lois&Clark, The New Adventures of Superman, totally different shows and characters.  One I loved and one i hated.  Who does that?

Yeah, that made me side eye this new group. If you don't want to include Laurel and Oliver then just don't include them, don't make shit up just to add more couples from the show, LOL!

I ran into a Laurel/Felicity fic once!!!! I didn't read it but it definately exists. Hehe so there's your one person!

Looking at the pictures on the header of their twitter account I don't expect this supposed "entertainment site" to be Olicity fans friends. There's a pic of WA Malec and Clexa, three fandoms who always seem to have an imagined axe to grind with our fandom.

They did write that "how we fell in love" with Olicity feature (posted in the News thread) so they seem to be Olicity friendly-adjacent, LOL! Unless they're just looking for clicks, which even Olicity unfriendly sites do. I saw the link shared everywhere on Twitter but I didn't think it was a well-written piece TBH.

Best TV Superhero Moments of 2018

Quote

“I AM THE GREEN ARROW” — ARROW
...
For six years, Oliver Queen kept his other life hidden from the rest of the world. Even his family and closest friends took a while to learn the truth. Still, Oliver struggled against impossible odds — including the public scrutiny of the Mayor’s office — to keep his identity secret. That all ended after Oliver struck a deal with FBI Agent Watson to rid Star City of Ricardo Diaz, a man who had nearly the entire city in his pocket.

Once Diaz’s organization was destroyed, and Diaz had fled, Oliver kept his end of the bargain, staring into a camera and stating unequivocally, “I am the Green Arrow.” It was a powerful and life-changing moment for a man who relied on secrecy and deception nearly as much as his arsenal of arrows.

It's strange that GATV hasn't posted any more voting categories in its GATV Awards competition since July 5 - they posted 5 categories from late May to early July (best episode, worst episode, best actor, best actress, fave writer) and then stopped; maybe they're still recovering from SDCC...

TSR’s Week of Ships: Announcing Our 7 Featured Relationships
Aug 03, 2018  by Team TSR
http://theseriesregulars.com/tsrs-week-of-ships-announcing-our-7-featured-relationships/

Quote

The top seven ships with the most votes were:
Clexa (Clarke & Lexa, The 100)
Malec (Magnus & Alec, Shadowhunters)
AvaLance (Ava & Sara, Legends of Tomorrow)
SuperCorp (Kara/Supergirl & Lena Luthor, Supergirl)
Peraltiago (Jake Peralta & Amy Santiago, Brooklyn Nine-Nine)
Delena (Damon & Elena, The Vampire Diaries)
WayHaught (Waverly & Nicole, Wynonna Earp)

Edited August 4, 2018 by tv echo

[statsgirl]

Of the top seven ships, five were same sex?  Yeah, there's no bias at all.

(To explain, I think a good same sex ship is equal to a good heterosexual ship. But I don't think AvaLance was well written this season and SuperCorp doesn't even exist except in the minds of the fans.)l

[Mary0360]

Yeah as I said before based on their twitter profile I'm going to assume even if Olicity won by a million votes they still wouldn't have chosen Olicity.

2018 GreenArrowTV Awards: Pick The Best Director From Arrow Season 6!
August 2, 2018 Craig Byrne 
http://www.greenarrowtv.com/2018-greenarrowtv-awards-pick-the-best-director-from-arrow-season-6/

I picked the director of Reversal over other perhaps better episodes because he at least knew to film all those kisses head on and in full glory without fancy fades or "artistic" cutaways.  He knew what the money shots were.

USD POLL : What is your favorite Season 1 episode of Arrow?

https://www.spoilertv.com/2018/08/usd-poll-what-is-your-favorite-season-1.html

[BkWurm1]

I went with 1-3 (because Felicity shows up) then 1-15 because Dodger was so fun and teamy (almost picked 1-14 because it's when Felicity was brought in but there was too much I didn't love in the flashbacks)  and 1-23 because Felicity is awesome in it and Tommy broke my heart.

GATV - Pick Your least favorite character.  http://www.greenarrowtv.com/2018-greenarrowtv-awards-pick-your-least-favorite-character-from-arrow-season-6/

This is the hardest category for me, because I hate more than half the characters on the show. Ultimately, I went with Diaz, but I feel sad that there were so many options for me to choose from.

[kes0704]

Least favourite character should have been a multiple response poll so you can pick 1st least favourite, 2nd least favourite, etc. 

This may be the first time that I haven’t automatically assigned my vote to any version of Laurel Lance because there were so many other valid options.

I still ended up choosing Dinah because all versions of BC irritate me greatly.

[Guest]

Impossible category seeing as I hate all of NTA and Diaz and I don't care about BS but I went with Dinah because she sucks and took over too much, IMO.

[Chaser]

NTA should have been it's own selection.

[tv echo]

If a lot of votes are split among NTA/Diaz (4 people), while the Olicity haters all vote for Felicity, I think it's possible that she might "win" this category.

Edited August 14, 2018 by tv echo

[apinknightmare]

I voted for my least favorite 3-D printed drug trafficker in the world, DDDragon, whose whole "arc" was honestly the worst thing I've ever sat through on this show, and that's saying a lot. 

Felicity may very well win with people like this voting for her. She really should've just let that nuke hit the more populated town so more people would die, I guess! 

[way2interested]

I didn't know that Felicity single-handily killed all of those people and was part of the Earth-X Nazi group. 

[Guest]

Yeah, I could see Felicity winning purely because the vote seems to be split between Rene/Dinah/Curtis/Dragon. I've also seen some say they're voting for Watson, weirdly enough. Felicity haters are so weirdly obsessed with her, I could see them mass voting. I'm sure some WA fans will vote for her too because...petty. You have to laugh really.

At this point, I would've been fine with Felicity directing a nuke towards WA's wedding. Can she send one towards Central City this season?

[insomniadreams88]

What bothers me is the same people using Havenrock as a reason to vote her least favorite character would probably say, “she should’ve diverted the nuke to a less populated city” if she’d done nothing as a reason to vote for her. 

[Chaser]

I waffled around but ultimately had to pick Diaz. 

BS, NTA and Lance all pissed me off but Diaz was straight up embarrassing.

Does this person realize neither of those things happened in S6 or are even true? WA reception was on Supergirl, double wedding on LoT. 

I honestly don’t know who to vote for. Hated NTA. Diaz was a joke as a villain. I blame BS’ existence for the crazy Lance we got this season.

I'm expecting her to win both the favorite and least favorite character again.  The worst character is just too split among the Olicitiy fandom to push back against the ones that would pick Felicity.  

Edited August 14, 2018 by BkWurm1

Interesting - I thought the results would be a lot closer if not in the oppposite direction, given that the fan who tweeted this poll is a comics guy (his twitter tagline reads: "Dean Asquith. DC Comics. Geek. Green Arrow Mega Fan. #GreenArrow #Arrow #Arrowverse")...

The Olicity fandom always finds their little polls though!

I remember the straw polls fondly! Got to a point where it became a hobby to find them and vote just for amusement.

I'll give this to Dean. He seems gracious about the results.

Agreed. Judging from what I've seen stalking twitter the Olicity fandom is very divided over who they thought was the worst between NTA Diaz and BS.  I actually think Diaz and NTA will get more votes then Siren.

[Mellowyellow]

Totally think NTA will get more votes than Siren. People seem indifferent to Siren most of the time (myself included). Curtis I want stabbed until he bleeds out! Same with the rest of NTA!

Yep. Laurel actually had a personality and aspects of her character that made her worth loving or hating. Siren has no discernible personality and her motivation is whatever that week's episode requires of her. You could remove her from the show tomorrow and it wouldn't make any difference to the narrative or any of the other characters. She's too irrelevant to be a least favorite character, IMO.

[tv echo]

Oliver & Felicity are among the couples listed in "Category #3: Favorite New TV Couple" (currently in 3rd place with 15% of vote), and Oliver & Laurel are among the couples listed in "Category #2: TV Couple You Most Wish Could Have Gotten a Happy Ending" (currently tied for 11th place with 1% of vote)...

Or rather there's a new name for an old tournament, as Girl on Top is no more. That means that Wynonna Earp's Melanie Scrofano  will reign as the final Girl on Top as a new star becomes E!
