Chaser June 15, 2016 Share June 15, 2016 That makes it so much worse. Lol This is the episode they deemed worthy. Link to comment
apinknightmare June 15, 2016 Share June 15, 2016 Anyone know how the acting nominees are submitted? Does the show pick who goes on the ballot, or do the actors? No one from Arrow is on there (last year SA, EBR, and KC were - maybe others too). Grant Gustin isn't up for consideration, but JLM, CP, and DP are. Link to comment
dtissagirl June 15, 2016 Share June 15, 2016 It can be either the studio, or the actors' own management. Anyway, Arrow's in the ballot in only 4 categories:1. Outstanding Costumes For A Contemporary Series, Limited Series Or Movie episode: Legends Of Yesterday2. Outstanding Stunt Coordination For A Drama Series, Limited Series Or Movie 3. Outstanding Writing For A Drama Series episode: Canary Cry4. Outstanding Drama Series Link to comment
looptab June 15, 2016 Share June 15, 2016 (edited) Outstanding isn't really an adjective I would ever dream to put next to Canary Cry, haha. Who knows, maybe they got confused and actually meant to submit Monument Point. :P Edited June 15, 2016 by looptab Link to comment
dtissagirl June 15, 2016 Share June 15, 2016 Either the CW or CBS put every. single. actor. on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Jane the Virgin on the performing ballot. 13 CEG + 10 JtV actors. That's where all the nominating money went. Link to comment

kismet June 15, 2016 Share June 15, 2016 The irony that a lot of people find it the worst episode and the TPTB submitted it for outstanding writing is just hilarious. I feel like they put it in for nomination because it was written by Beth Schwartz & Wendy Mericle. They are playing the female and showrunner card for more attention. I also think they really have no idea that outside of the writer's room bubble Canary Cry was just not that well written or executed episode. Not sure which episode I would have nominated for writing in s4, but I know for sure Canary Cry would never even be on the short list. 2 Link to comment

Still if you only have the ability or money to throw at one episode you're gonna give it to certain people because on the really off chance it does get far, the names will become known. Politically you don't give that honor to a newer writer, very few things are actually chosen on merit. Both WM & BS have put in their dues which is a consideration when choosing who gets chosen, when you don't have the ability to nominate a lot of episodes. Link to comment

Malcolm Merlyn, Arrow * * * Malcolm failed both of his children. His son Tommy died in Malcolm's attempt to destroy the Glades as vengeance for the murder of his wife, while he forced his daughter Thea, the product of an affair with Moira Queen, to murder her friend Sara Lance in order to spark trouble. From Arrow to The Affair: This Year’s Awards for Worst TV Dads Araceli Aviles June 19, 2016http://www.tvovermind.com/the-cw/arrow/years-awards-worst-tv-dads Quote Malcom Merlyn-Arrow The Dark Archer has had his good and bad moments, but it’s fair to say that he did more harm than good for daughter Thea this year. He knew Thea was constantly on the edge of insanity after her experience in the Lazarus Pit. Instead of figuring a way out of the violence for her, Malcolm only fed her primal need to kill, and just continued to give lousy advice thereafter. Then he chose being the leader of the League of Assassins over Thea’s life, kidnapped her to ‘save’ her when the world was under threat of nuclear attack, and was partly responsible for the death of her best friend Laurel. Yes he ultimately saved her life a bunch of times, but Thea herself has said that every time he does so in a way which makes her ashamed to be related to him. No matter how much Malcolm tries, fatherhood just hasn’t been his forte. Edited June 20, 2016 by tv echo Link to comment

Update: This was on the page of the poll: Quote Due to an overwhelming amount of write-ins, we are adding “Felicity Smoak” as a choice below. Please note this was not a GATV editorial decision but instead respecting the will of the fans. (Also, we aren’t 100% sure that write-ins have an IP limit the way votes do, so this is a way to ensure that the suggestions are legit.) My comment above stand now more than ever.

Midnight Lullaby June 23, 2016 Share June 23, 2016 Basically some people were so full of hate to put Felicity as an option and he happily went with it. The saddest part is that we all know the actress who plays Felicity got hate, so much that the network worried about it, and the guy from the site met and interviewed her. How do you face her when you knowingly endorse vicious hate towards her character that unfortunately translates in vicious hate towards her? Link to comment
lemotomato June 23, 2016 Share June 23, 2016 He added Laurel into the Villain poll to prove he's unbiased and "respects" all write-in options. Way to miss the point, asshole. 3 Link to comment

kismet June 23, 2016 Share June 23, 2016 I think my plan is just to ignore the poll at this point. It doesn't deserve any attention. I'm just curious what their bogus rationale for her inclusion on the list. I know I shouldn't be looking for reason in stupidity, but there has to be something they use. Breaking OQs heart? Nope he did that on his own. Havenrock? Tragic but DDs doing, her involvement saved lives, sadly not enough but sometimes there is collateral damage to war. Olicity? Even if you hate it, that's on the writers not the characters. Killing LL? Again that's on the writers. And even if you wanted an in story character to blame, they made it pretty clear that it was because of QLs involvement with DD. 1 Link to comment

looptab June 23, 2016 Share June 23, 2016 (edited) There's been another update Quote We woke up this morning to hundreds of requests to add Felicity as a villain for Season 4. We respected those write-ins and added her. Then, others complained that Laurel should be added too. So we did. Suddenly that translated to “GATV is sexist toward the women of the show,” which is false, insulting, ridiculous and accusatory, and to dodge that bullet we’re just going to remove both of them from the poll. Sorry, it’s drama we did not want to deal with. People justified why Felicity and/or Laurel would classify as villains, but I don’t want GreenArrowTV to be associated with false accusations of sexism, so they’re going away. If you really don’t like Felicity or Laurel, there’s a Least Favorite Character poll where you can do your thing. Our apologies to anyone who was offended by the additions. He deleted all the comments too. The best part is that he had stated that if he added Laurel as a villain, her fans wouldn't complain. Bwhahahahah. Edited June 23, 2016 by looptab 1 Link to comment
