City of San Francisco put on this big thing for a Make a Wish kid that had him acting as Batman to save the city from an evildoer. It was pretty awesome.

MAGE CURES PLOT

Aside from casting ridiculously good looking people in shows, the CW also seems to have a knack for finding people who are hilarious, gigantic dorks that are amazing to their fans.

Say what you will about Supernatural, but Misha Collins is an awesome dude, and I think Stephen Amell is just continuing that fine tradition.

I went to look into volunteer opportunities with make-a-wish which I have done before and the site was basically down. They had a placeholder with a donate button and a thank you to everyone that made the day so special.

Great to have the little video and others.

The fact that they used the costumes from the Adam West series makes it even better (even if it was perhaps because of copyright issues).

I only just found out about this show and binged through it. Its really rather strange how fast the plot moves compared to drat near every other show. I expected the notebook and the undertaking to be like 5 seasons of plot. Its seriously like watching some other show in fast forward.

With Felicity/Oliver I was disappointed she didn't move the pullup bars in his office when he made her be his secretary. I know I'd mind sitting in an office all day a lot less if there was a shirtless Stephen Amell to ogle.

Love the cast decided to just do this for the heck of it. It's awesome. Very few times do shows get a cast that is awesome like that. Someone pointed it out from somewhere I can't remember though, but is Katie Cassidy one of the few cast members that just has never been in a candid photo with the rest of the cast or anything? I swear I have seen nearly every combination of Amell + some other cast member instagram filter selfie but not her.

Just another reason Laurel is the worst.

~edit~ to actually add content to this post, how long will Sara's backstory last? I assumed she would be done since she's leaving the city, but she still seems like a pretty key part of the ship plot.

Seems like she could remain a recurring storyline even into next season, depending on how they handle the League of Assassins.

I think she'll be "killed" off pretty soon from the boat, and I'm not sure how they'd handle the League of Assassins backstory if she isn't part of the present-day story anymore, since no characters in present-day would be part of that, presumably.

I guess she has to come back at some point and die or something, so that Laurel takes over though. So maybe there will be some League of Assassins stuff at that point.

To be fair, I imagine it's not fun to be an actor and essentially have fan reaction push you out of the of the primary love interest role to be replaced with someone who was supposed to be a one off character (i.e. Felicity). One would imagine it would be hard to be really excited about a show when so many fans despise your role in it.

Especially when that's pretty much exactly what happened to her on Supernatural.

I'm re-watching 1 x 02 on Netflix. China White and a few henchmen try to assassinate Laurel at her apartment while Oliver's there and Diggle intercepts. So I don't remember if they've ever directly interacted on camera but they've had scenes together.

Hahaha "Olicity is Pain".

It was beautiful, that last minute of ranting.

edit: Them getting together story-wise would be such a bad idea. She would always play second fiddle in the relationship and I'd think she'd lose some of her potential developing identity.

If I'm reading that correctly, lower is better, making Ollie the third most popular character. It's also completely wrong in a few major ways (for example, Diggle being unpopular is outrageous.)

It also seems to be actors, not characters, and as such it really shouldn't be a surprise that the purported female lead is the most popular 'actor' (quotes not nearly large enough).

How the making GBS threads poo poo is Diggle so unpopular? And Goddamn them for disregarding Quentin LAnce like that.

Oh, it's overall 'actor popularity' throughout IMDB, not a showing specifically for the characters in Arrow. That's a misleading little chart.

Also, who the heck is Lyla Michaels?

Ah, yeah, you're right. Hm. That means it's probably not the best indication of actual popularity within the show (as obvious as that is for other reasons.)
