They've only recently gotten together. Ironically, Richonne (Rick and Michonne) is also a non-comic canon, show-only pairing that happened because the actors had good chemistry and they've enjoyed a lot of fan support. I don't hear a lot of complaints about them "not honoring comic canon" or accusations of fan service though.

 

Considering Rick and Andrea are in together in the comics and Andrea is long dead and was butchered to death, there is nothing to complain about. And last I remember, Michonne isn't in a relationship at this time in the comics either with her former lover also biting the dust both in comics and the show. So there is no comic canon to honor with their pairing. 

LOL.

I didn't even know this was going on. Where have I been? Haha. I like Rick/Michonne a lot but I'll have to vote Olicity this time. Sorry Richonne!

Congrats to Olicity although I admit I was voting for Richonne. Mostly because I just love them and love how IMO organic that relationship progressed...not unlike Olicity

Scott Gimple was smart enough to see what they had with Danai and Andy. Like the Arrow PTB saw it with EBR and SA. Good for both shows.

Olicity is now up against Clexa in the Final 4 Round - polls close in this round on Wednesday, April 27 at 5 p.m. PT...

A Call To Action As Chaiken, Berlanti Honored at Inaugural Alliance of Women Directors Awards

It was as much a suffragette rally as it was an awards ceremony, with speaker after speaker at the inaugural Alliance of Women Directors awards calling on everyone in Hollywood to play their part in bringing equality to women in the industry’s workplace.
*  *  *
Producer Greg Berlanti, who’s currently got half-a-dozen TV shows on the air, including Supergirl, The Flash and Blindspot, was one of the other honorees calling for the industry to make a change. “As I started running show,” he told the audience assembled at the Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills, “it was just a natural thing for me to want to hire as many women as I could. And so through the years, in writers’ rooms and edit bays, most of the staffs I put together were made of equal parts women and men. And then you would look at the directors list and they always seemed like they were from a different era – like something out of Mad Men. It was all white dudes…This seemed very odd to me. But you would hear the same Catch 22 refrain – a network and a studio had to have worked with a person to hire them. Well, if women were getting less opportunities, how were they ever supposed to get the opportunities that would get them approved?”

This year, he said, “after three years of commitment to growing our numbers and our lists, our most veteran action show – Arrow – will have 50% of their episodes directed by either diverse or female directors – with our other series not far behind. I have no doubt that many of these directors will then have the material they need to convince film studios they’re the right women to be directing the tentpole films the studios are making these days. Obviously, we haven’t done enough yet; I haven’t done enough yet; this needs to keep happening until it’s no longer a conversation – it’s just a way of life.”

“I would advise every director or producer with experience,” he said, “to pick one or two younger female directors to vouch for and mentor – call producers like me, call executives; make a recommendation and let’s keep the lists growing. We owe it to our mothers and sisters, and women who influenced us, to create an equal workplace in Hollywood. We owe it to our audiences and we owe it to ourselves. It will make all of us better.”

As expected, Oliver and Felicity didn't make it to the last round of E Online's TV's top couple. It's pretty great that it's two gay couples at the finish line, though. I don't know if there's the official result somewhere. I'm guessing they ended in the 40-45% range.

Seems odd that they used a manip for Olicity while everyone else got screencaps.

At least the manip was a pretty hot picture of them both... perhaps Eonline should have found a screencap, but at least they found a good pic ~they have chosen some pretty ugly/awkward pics for Arrow characters in previous contests. Also it really made me miss that length of hair on both of them. Those haircuts are really great on them. I do not like FS's mid-length now, it needs to be a little longer. I prefer s2 length, but I know that will likely never happen again unless EBR wants it and she seems to prefer long bobs over long hair. Also I think they believe the shorter hair makes her look older.

There was no way Clexa was not making it to the finals, Olicity never had a shot. There was far too much drama surrounding Clexa for Eonline to not monopolize on it. Plus, I think Eonline makes it so couples cannot be repeat winners. Olicity was probably going to lose either way, at least we made it to the final 4 and will probably have been defeated by the eventual champion.

50 Best Drama TV Shows on Netflix: Arrow moves up
 by Patrick Schmidt 1 day ago

Superhero shows and movies are definitely the “it” genre right now and Netflix has definitely taken advantage of the incredible interest from viewers in that area.
*  *  *
But outside of those Netflix Original shows, the CW has been ahead of the curve when it comes to superhero shows like Arrow, which is in its fourth season, three of which are currently available on Netflix.

I admit, I was late to the party when it comes to Arrow and didn’t begin watching the show until it had been around for two full seasons. Boy, was that a big regret because I didn’t realize what I was missing by not catching on until two years later.

This show is great and could go down as the best show in the CW’s history by the time the show wraps up, and that’s why it’s moving up in this week’s ranking of the 50 best drama TV shows.

40. Arrow
*  *  *
Arrow was a smash hit when it debuted in 2012 to the highest ratings the CW had seen in years. Based on the DC Comics’ Green Arrow, Oliver Queen (Amell) is the billionaire playboy who was assumed dead for five years after the yacht he and his father were sailing on sinks. Queen loses his father but manages to survive on a deserted island where he learned of his father’s mysterious business dealings and how corrupt he was.

After five years, Queen returns home but as a changed man who dons a green hood and is set on vengeance with only a bow and arrows. The pilot episode gives us an origin story and from there we get the best TV show based on a comic book we’ve had this millennium.

The Green Arrow may not be as popular as some of the other DC Comics but the show delivers with intense action and should make fans of the comic pleased with their adaptation.

The nominación for EBR is LEAD performance by a female in a dramatc series. So she was the lead female in that episode for them, wasn't it?

No. It means EBR qualifies for the Leos as "lead", because she's a Canadian citizen that's been in at least 50% of the all the Arrow episodes.

Felicity has fallen to 2nd place, behind The Flash.

That does seem like an unusually jump. Honestly, I hate captchas but I think they make for a little fairer contest. I also find a lot of these online polls are too easy to hack or robobot.

I get devotion to a character, but honestly I don't understand the need to cheat or devote hours voting. The only way there is that big of a gain in 24hrs is either some overly devoted fans or bots. Either way if it helps people sleep better than I say let it be.

They gained about 6k+ in the last 24 hours. LOL That doesn't seem legit at all. 

But meh. This is the only poll BC will ever win and it doesn't matter anymore :p *shrugs*

Actually BC jumped 11000 votes since yesterday, nearly tripling her vote count.  So clearly this poll allows multiple votes from one person (which I was already suspecting yesterday when the figures for Barry and Felicity increased quite rapidly) and is therefore essentially worthless.  Pity, I thought it was one of those that gave a true reflection of things by only letting people vote once.  Polls where you can vote multiple times are just a reflection of the fanbases' dedication, not a true reflection of actual popularity.

And, of course, Felicity and Felicity fans are being blamed for the dodgy BC numbers, because everything is always Felicity's fault these days.
