TV Overmind staff picks for best tv villain this past season...

Our Selections for This Year’s Best TV Villains 
Araceli Aviles  June 21, 2017

Quote

Nick Hogan – Adrian Chase/Prometheus (Arrow)
Probably the easiest choice I’ve made yet is to pick Adrian Chase/Prometheus from Arrow. Josh Segarra’s phenomenal portrayal of a friend turned foe still has fans reeling weeks after the fact. Prometheus was always one step ahead of Team Arrow, making it nearly impossible to predict what happened next. The final confrontation with Prometheus led to a lot of character fates being left up in the air, and even required a reunion with Slade Wilson to “defeat” him. Arrow will be writhing in the aftermath of Prometheus’ time on the show for a good long while after his departure from the show, and I would be hard pressed to come up with a better villain dating back several seasons.

Blaise Hopkins – Prometheus (Arrow)
Prometheus was one of my favorite television villains ever, and I don’t even know who else compares to the character for this year. Prometheus completely took things to a new level for villains in Arrow this season and is right up there with Slade (if not better) for who has tormented Oliver and his friends more. The guy is ruthless and calculated which made him the ultimate baddie.

Tiffany Chang – Adrian Chase (Arrow)
I swear he could be the next Damien Darhk. Well, minus the Darth Vader-ish powers, of course. The guy is manipulative and cunning, which is why he’s always ten steps ahead of Oliver. I mean, Oliver had thought that Chase was one of the good guys and he didn’t even know that there was a double agent in the midst until it was too late. On top of that, he bought the whole scared girl act from the double-crosser after being kidnapped by Chase. Looks like someone is losing their touch!

Jasef Wisener – Captain Howdy/Pazuzu (The Exorcist)
Araceli Aviles – Diana Dubois (Empire)
Nick Hogan – Adrian Chase/Prometheus (Arrow)
Blaise Hopkins – Prometheus (Arrow)
Tiffany Chang – Adrian Chase (Arrow)
Chris King – Lenny (Legion)

As much as the 100th episode annoyed me, it was an alien induced dream though. If they are going to use that to argue that it means Laurel was the love of Oliver' life, it also means that Diggle's dream life is to be holed up in the Bunker with Felicity to be their own little vigilante team, no Lyla, no kids. While it's kinda adorable to think he might love Felicity that much and makes my inner Delicity squee, I seriously doubt that was Diggle's dream life! 

Same goes with Ray. Even I avid Raylicity shipper that I am don't use the 100 episode as proof that Felicity was the love of Ray's life (hehe I've got another ep for that).

Not even an Alien induced dream. In the Legends crossover Ep Oliver calls it alien brain washing. And underneath the surface of the whole Ep built up relationship was the fact that the life the 100th was trying to sell Oliver was artificial happiness. Or, not trying to sound to much like Jbuffy, a red pill from the Matrix. Oliver could take the Aliens red pill and go on living a blissful life of ignorance that's ultimately a lie or choose the real thing and all the pain that comes along with that but also true real happiness and personal fulfilment.

 

By the time Oliver sees Felicitys name on that building and realises it's out of place he basically begins to reject that life, including Laurel, and from then on goes chasing his real life which is Diggle, Felicity and the Green Arrow and artificial Laurel becomes left behind. The scenes they do end up having is more about providing Oliver and the memory of Laurel closure by having Oliver give her the goodbye and apology she was probably due and not the everybody says "I love you" to Laurel while Oliver just stands there silent goodbye he gave the real Laurel with their very real messy past. 

But to @strikera0 point of the 100th inviting Lauriver fans to think they still have skin in the game, I think to ship Oliver and Laurel you would have to basically only relate to them on a very shallow surface level way, like the artificial relationship the 100th shows where everything is about ignoring the real problems and differences and disrespect between Oliver and Laurel as a romantic couple and just focusing on the shallow factors like how cute they are getting out of a shower together (also ignoring that theyre basically role playing Olicitys past together.)

TV Overmind staff picks for tv character they're most proud of from this past season...

TV Characters We’re Most Proud Of in the Past Year 
Araceli Aviles  June 22, 2017
http://www.tvovermind.com/review/tvovermind-end-of-year-roundtables-characters-were-most-proud-of

Quote

Blaise Hopkins – Oliver Queen (Arrow)
Arrow was the most improved show of the year for me, which is why Oliver is the character I’m the most proud of. While Stephen Amell’s acting has never been the problem, the writers just seemed to finally have Arrow back to normal and reigning supreme as the top superhero on television. The character finally feels like he has his head on straight again and has been aces this season. The show pushed the main character to the absolute brink and had Oliver hold on strong to his morals and everything he believes in and stands for. It was a blast to watch and displayed how strong the character truly is.
*  *  *
Chris King – Oliver Queen (Arrow)
The first four seasons of Arrow chronicled Oliver Queen’s struggles with darkness and his shift towards the light, but Season 5 of the CW superhero drama fully dug into the Green Arrow’s real demons, as the villainous Adrian Chase forced Oliver to confront the monster inside of the man, the one truth that he had never wanted to admit. After Oliver spoke his deepest, darkest secret aloud (that he enjoyed killing people—he murdered because he liked it not because he thought it would protect the city) and confided in those he loved and trusted (specifically Felicity and Diggle), he was finally able to shed his former skin and become the truest and best version of himself. This evolution wasn’t an easy one for Oliver; in fact, it’s certainly the most difficult and challenging process we’ve seen him go through so far on Arrow. But the results so far have been outstanding, as Oliver has become a healthier and more human person and has fostered more fulfilling relationships with his friends and family, and as a major Arrow fan, it was so immensely satisfying watching Oliver’s transformation this season, as he learned to trust himself enough to fully love the most important people in his life (including Ms. Felicity Smoak). Here’s hoping this new and improved Oliver sticks around when Arrow returns for Season 6 this fall.

Jasef Wisener – Jessica Day (New Girl)
Araceli Aviles – Sheldon Cooper (The Big Bang Theory)
Nick Hogan – Crowley (Supernatural)
Blaise Hopkins – Oliver Queen (Arrow)
Tiffany Chang – Dr. Linda Martin (Lucifer)
Chris King – Oliver Queen (Arrow)

Unpopular opinion I'm guessing but I'm glad I'm not the only one who hasnt decided Oliver is public enemy number one because of a lapse in dating judgement or because he wants to love and be present for his son, and not let him die at the hands of a pyscopath. I too thought by the end of the season he showed a lot more growth then he has since mid season 4. I'm just hoping the writers actually let him keep the growth he achieved and the lessons he learned and not rinse and repeat next season. That'd be nice for a change.

If I watched only the last 5 episodes of Arrow, then yeah I'd be proud of Oliver, too. But there was too much stupidity and extra baggage from last year for me to see him at the end of this season and say, yeah, he's improved or grown up. Plus, there's always the danger the writers will regress him to suit whatever plot they came up with for next season.

I'm pretty sure neither Keanu Reeves or Stephan Amell is going to win against Gord Downie.  Not only is Downie a fantastic musician and song writer (Tragically Hip), he's an advocate for Natives and wrote The Shining Path, he just got the Order of Canada and he's got terminal brain cancer.

Some of those earlier match-ups are funny -- Chris Hadfield (real astronaut) vs William Shatner (fake space traveller), Tatiana Maslany vs Christopher Plummer, Alex Trebek vs Drake,  Sandra Oh vs P.K.Subban and cruelly Ryan Gosling winning over Rachel McAdams 2 to 1.

Is the Tragically Hip not known in the US?  They're huge in Canada.

I haven't heard of them before.  I looked at their wiki page and didn't recognize any singles either but that doesn't mean others wouldn't.

Other than a few people, like SA and EK, the Arrow cast doesn't really do much on social media.  And I guess with the divisions we don't deserve best fandom.

You should check out The Secret Path because it's an important part of Canadian history, as horribly shameful as it is.

Quote

Chanie {Wenjack} was a young boy who died on October 22, 1966, walking the railroad tracks, trying to escape from the Cecilia Jeffrey Indian Residential School to walk home. Chanie’s home was 400 miles away. He didn’t know that. He didn’t know where it was, nor know how to find it, but, like so many kids - more than anyone will be able to imagine - he tried. I never knew Chanie, the child his teachers misnamed Charlie, but I will always love him.

Proceeds from the sale of Secret Path will go to The Gord Downie Secret Path Fund for Truth and Reconciliation via The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation at The University of Manitoba.

Gord Downie wrote an album (it won a couple of Junos last year), then got together with Jeff Lemire (of New 52 and X-Men fame) to produce a graphic novel which was made into a film last year.

Even if you're not into their music, Downie is important for this. Keanu Reeves is a movie actor.

The Best TV Shows of 2017, So Far…
Chris Tilly  •  June 29, 2017
http://fandom.wikia.com/articles/the-best-tv-shows-of-2017-so-far

Quote

It’s been a vintage year for TV, and with the end of June marking the half-way point, FANDOM editors and fan contributors have picked their favourites. So the following are the best TV shows of 2017, so far…
*  *  *
Arrow - Mike Delaney (Community Development Associate)
.  .  .
I’ve loved Arrow from the beginning, but even I admit that it began to stagnate a little in previous seasons. Saying that, I always felt that even at its worst, Arrow was still better than a lot of shows. Season 5 only reinforces my belief.

The season-long Prometheus arc was well constructed, successfully pulling in elements from the show’s history but also managing to be extremely personal in focus. The flashbacks were once more a relevant part of the show, and my favourite supporting character, Anatoly Knyazev, returned. Arrow’s real strength this season is the ensemble cast. Arrow has always been at its best when the show uses supporting characters as effectively as they use Oliver Queen.

Season 5 proved to be a blistering return to form, and reminded me why Arrow redefined superhero television shows.

Legion – Lawrence Yee (Editor-in-Chief)
Twin Peaks - Drew Deitsch (Entertainment Editor)
Arrow - Mike Delaney (Community Development Associate)
The Good Fight - Zuleika B (FANDOM Contributor)
Line of Duty - Chris Tilly (Managing Editor)
Fortitude - Kim Taylor-Foster (Entertainment Editor)
The Keepers - Samantha Loveridge (Gaming Editor)
The Expanse - R.W.V. Mitchell (FANDOM Contributor)

They should definitely win Best Couple. I was voting not that long before it closed, and they were close to 40%. The next couple (I think it was Alex and Maggie from Supergirl) was at about 15%.

Tough list to chose from.  Susan may have been a bust and Billy a footnote happily forgotten, but there were an awful lot of actors and characters that I loved seeing again.  There's all the old favs, the return of Anatoly and Dinah grew on me.  But like I commented on the poll page, the only one I actively miss is Rory.  So yep, he got my vote.

And yet it's not Oliver or Prometheus pictured. I started tweeting about it and then I realized the lesson a very good friend keeps trying to hammer at me: Apathy Don't give characters and actors you don't like buzz. So, after this, I'm going to try extremely hard not to talk, tweet about that actress or character anymore.

Wow, eonline has TONS of The 100 fans! They dominated that whole competition. I'm happy to see Arrow get a few wins, especially an Olicity win! Even better, second place went to one of my other favorite TV couples, Kala and Wolfgang from Sense8*! I'm happy that Arrow got props for the things they got right.

*I feel the need to plug Sense8 to my fellow TV fans, now that we campaigned to get an ending to the show, which was tragically cancelled after a HUGE cliffhanger at the end of its most recent season. If you don't mind nudity, its a super awesome Netflix show with much fight choreography and ship possibilities! Its also a quick binge at 2 seasons, and now we get a movie to wrap things up!

Yeah, I noticed that as well.  I don't think I'd have heard of them before (though I might have still voted in them in the last couple years - there have been a LOT of polls and contests)  Still, I'm really enjoying the attention stuff I like is getting.
