lemotomato June 4, 2015 Share June 4, 2015 I picked "The Fallen" too, but I would have also gone with the season finale, just because the reviewer predicted in the comments section that it'll win the "worst episode" poll. Link to comment

lemotomato June 4, 2015 Share June 4, 2015 (edited) I can't decide between "Midnight City" ,"Canaries", "Nanda Parbat", or "This Is Your Sword" for worst. This season was the first one to have multiple episodes that I actually hated and would never ever want on my TV again, not even as background noise. Edited June 4, 2015 by lemotomato Link to comment

FurryFury June 4, 2015 Share June 4, 2015 This was a weird read. I haven't seen the majority of the shows mentioned, but who would choose Andy over Ron in Parks & Rec? Ron Swanson is a goddamn meme! 1 Link to comment
lemotomato June 4, 2015 Share June 4, 2015 The article is about bit roles that turned into regulars, and Ron was a main character from the start. Although it's nice to hear MG say that Felicity "going away was never an option", I do wish the media would stop perpetuating the idea that fan response was what expanded her role. It's kind of obvious that keeping her around was a decision by the show runners, who realized that she was the missing piece to Oliver's team. And I'm pretty sure the fact that she had chemistry with the main star of the show helped her case more than anything viewers had to say. 10 Link to comment
FurryFury June 4, 2015 Share June 4, 2015 (edited) Ah, thanks. I kinda though Chris Pratt was a regular in s1 of Parks, but I don't remember it as well, it was pretty bad overall. Although it's nice to hear MG say that Felicity "going away was never an option", I do wish the media would stop perpetuating the idea that fan response was what expanded her role. It's kind of obvious that keeping her around was a decision by the show runners, who realized that she was the missing piece to Oliver's team. And I'm pretty sure the fact that she had chemistry with the main star of the show helped her case more than anything viewers had to say. Felicity's expanded role was definitely not the result of fan opinion, but the whole Olicity focus was determined only by that, imho. As for chemistry, well, she did have more with SA than KC, obviously, but I really can't say it was absolutely explosive or anything. I'd say it was about on the same level as SA/CL, which is middling. I think it was more of the character of Felicity the viewers responded to, I've always maintained she was male nerds' dream girl and a perfect self-insert for female viewers (and I'm not saying this is bad, I totally identified with her at times). Edited June 4, 2015 by FurryFury Link to comment
SmallScreenDiva June 4, 2015 Share June 4, 2015 Chemistry is in the eyes of the beholder, I guess, because the moment I saw that scene in 1x03, I perked up and took notice. I don't think I immediately recognized what I was seeing, but I definitely felt the spark between Oliver and Felicity and was intrigued. And that spark turned brighter and brighter with each ep, for me. I felt there was friendly chemistry between SA/CL but no heat there (another reason I thought the lunge was odd). 12 Link to comment

quarks June 4, 2015 Share June 4, 2015 (edited) This was a weird read. I haven't seen the majority of the shows mentioned, but who would choose Andy over Ron in Parks & Rec? Ron Swanson is a goddamn meme! In terms of the show, sure - Ron Swanson's the reason I watched. In terms of acting careers, they were both fairly unknown prior to Parks and Recreation, but Nick Offerman was hired as a regular right from the start, while Chris Pratt was hired as a guest. During and since the show, Offerman continued to work in comedy; Pratt went on to become a major A-list film star. I mean no disrespect to any of Offerman's 2015 films, but none of them are expected to do as well in the box office as Jurassic World. (Now watch the dinosaurs flop at the box office and one of the Offerman films be the number one 2015 box office hit, even beating Star Wars, just to prove me wrong here.) To bring this back on topic, I kinda had to vote for "The Climb" over "The Fallen." Edited June 4, 2015 by quarks Link to comment

I'm a little surprised that Thea got nominated over Tatsu, but then again, they picked Malcom as the biggest male badass, so there's no accounting for taste. I picked "Other" and put in Felicity just because they hate her on the show. http://www.opinionstage.com/sets/2156552/ (Direct link to the poll because the page has an embedded video that autoplays, plus is poorly designed) I was literally about to post on this. I would have been inclined to vote Thea or Tatsu, but the fact that they left off Felicity made me vote Other with a write for her. Current standings: Other at 79%, Nyssa at 14, Thea at 5, and Laurel at 3. It reminds me of the Comic poll that added Felicity later. She is currently leading at 9000+ with the Arrow following a distance second at 4000+. And the TeenChoice nominations with Emily leading the SciFiTVActress tweets at 515k and Olicity finishing at 6th with 921k tweets (For comparison: Destial/Klaine were ahead of them in the 950k to 1mil and the top three were Klaroline/Steroline/Delena - all over a million. Below them was Emma/Hook with 431k). Olicity fans are tweeting about PR for them and setting up hiatus projects and including the EPs. After The Fallen and all the negativity towards Olicity and Felicity seemed to multiply, I think it was DancingNancy who said that Olicity was a networks dream. A positive outcome fuels a negative backlash which in turn energizes a positive response and it keeps circling creating more and more buzz (I hope I'm phrasing this correctly). I think that is what is happening right now. I'm seeing a lot of people on twitter and tumblr trying to 'get out the vote' and make a lot of noise.

calliope1975 June 5, 2015 Share June 5, 2015 I wrote in Felicity as well, pretty much just because she was left off the poll. Nyssa's probably who should get my vote; Laurel - no. I'll probably call Thea a badass next year, but I was irritated this year that she never questioned running off with Malcolm and then didn't tell her brother to step off while she kicked MM out of her house. I have high hopes for her next year, though. 5 Link to comment
quarks June 5, 2015 Share June 5, 2015 Unless for some reason they could only list four options, I'm genuinely puzzled at the lack of Tatsu - not snarking, genuinely puzzled, since she had more fight sequence scenes than any other woman on Arrow this season, including Laurel and Nyssa. Granted, most of those were in the flashbacks which I think many of us would like to forget, but her sword fight in "Draw Back Your Bow" was one of the few reasons to rewatch that episode, that bar scene in "Uprising" was well done, and although I wish it had been edited into the episode a little differently, the truck stunt in the flashbacks for "The Fallen" was one of Arrow's biggest stunts of the season. And of course she had the major, beautifully choreographed fight with her husband in "This Is Your Sword," plus various other action sequences. I would also have added Lyla to this poll. 16 Link to comment
olicityfan25 June 5, 2015 Share June 5, 2015 They definitely can make the poll have more options. They just listed who they love which is favouritism and that's just stupid. Link to comment

That's what I said, and that's exactly what I'm seeing. The voting, the O/F related Twitter hashtags, the larger volume of fics and gif posts, it's all multiplying. And I saw Suzanne Gomez replying to fans about a photoshoot? So there you go, whatever negative backlash that energized the fanbase made the network pay even more attention to Felicity, and Oliver/Felicity. 4 Link to comment
statsgirl June 5, 2015 Author Share June 5, 2015 How do you know you didn't set up a poll properly? When 89% of the vote goes to the "other" category. (If the networks are interested in how Laurel stacks up, she's currently running at 1%.) I couldn't find a place to write a comment but I tweeted Why are do they have only costumes for the women when they didn't have for the men. (Diggle was there, right?) I added that while I love Nyssa (and I agree with quarks Tatsu should have been there but she lost points with me for going into a monastery), Felicity and Lyla are the biggest badasses on the show now that Moira is dead. Because really, I would have voted on Moira vs Ra's any day. 5 Link to comment
TrueMyth June 5, 2015 Share June 5, 2015 I wrote in Tatsu because I do tend to expect some fighting chops from my "badasses." HBIC would totally be Felicity for me. I do think Felicity and Lyla should both be on that poll. But, come on... except for possibly Nyssa, Tatsu could take anyone on that poll. Laurel's hilarious attack on Malcolm this season should disqualify her, but I see the voters are already doing that. 1 Link to comment
quarks June 5, 2015 Share June 5, 2015 Now I want to see a Nyssa/Tatsu fight. Oh, sure, I can't for the moment think of a good reason for one, but you know, this show. 4 Link to comment

So there you go, whatever negative backlash that energized the fanbase made the network pay even more attention to Felicity, and Oliver/Felicity. It's increasing like you said, Oliciters have always been very "loud" on twitter and other places,and we like to keep the buzz going for hiatus. Some people have been tweeting SG about Arrow promotion or the lack of it, before the show wen't on hiatus, this was the only time we got a positive response maybe because the tweets wore send to the CW too. Regardless, i'm positive that we're getting a Olicity photoshoot from the CW Also we've been tweeting mags and media to get interviews and photoshoots, Larry King might be happening, that's nice. There's always a lot going on, and we're always trying different things on twitter, getting more promotion for Arrow is one of them, and of course create a lot of buzz for the show. We did good with the TCA,those wore some impressive numbers, i hope we get some nominations. Link to comment

lemotomato June 7, 2015 Share June 7, 2015 I have a feeling that the votes are going to be pretty split, given how the season was. I voted for "Canaries", mostly because the awful lampshading the writers did of everyone's criticisms of Laurel's BC arc, and then them basically saying that they don't give a shit by having all the characters inexplicably gave her the vigilante stamp of approval anyway. 7 Link to comment
kismet June 7, 2015 Share June 7, 2015 I voted Midnight City. At least Canaries had CL back in it. And frankly everything she said, was what the audience had said so I felt it made it marginally better to eek out a spot just above the bottom. Link to comment
statsgirl June 7, 2015 Author Share June 7, 2015 I voted for Canaries, because having Sara say "why did I need to die for this?" and then ignoring it, was thumbing their noses at all the justified criticism of the act. And because there are just no words for how awful it was to have Felicity tell Laurel that she has a light in her that Sara didn't. No words. 11 Link to comment
FurryFury June 7, 2015 Share June 7, 2015 I haven't seen season 3 of Arrow but voted for Canaries just because of the "light inside" stuff because it's incredibly rude and upsetting for me as a fan of Sara. 5 Link to comment

kismet June 8, 2015 Share June 8, 2015 I love Arrow, but I think it has a shelf life with the current cast, as sad as that may be. There are only so many stories you can tell with the same people. Unless they start to come up with some more interesting & season spanning villains I'm not sure I can see it lasting beyond 6-8 seasons. I can see it completing the 6 year journey of how we got to the OQ we met in the pilot and perhaps 1-2 seasons of him being just Green Arrow. But then I think the show will need a major overhaul or it will become too procedural based. Realistically how many times can SC really face annihilation in May? But I could be pleasantly surprised should the writers increase the longevity of their creativity. Link to comment

Flash is a new show with lots of buzz and praise, targeted towards the younger crowd. Why only have a supporting character represent them while trying to promote two shows that are past their prime? Because Oncers are a huge fandom, myself included. A few months ago during the couple poll they completely dominated us for their Captain Swan ship. And I think it's also because the once fandom gets very, very aggressive when they feel their being ignored and overlooked. The teen choice awards doesn't really deserve, need or want all the crap that the fandom can deliver. I haven't looked into it, but I'm sure right now they are already Swan Queen and Evil Regals freaking out over Lana Parilla's omission. Link to comment
