nine-gear crow posted:TV shows and genre shows in particular coming to an end on their own terms are exceedingly rare, so good on Amell for calling the shot early and having the clout and gumption to stick with the call rather than get lured into doing basically a zombie show that kept going for like a decade past when it should have ended ala Supernatural. I get the feeling Amell gets a good sense of the limits of the show too. Like, at this point he might feel they are spinning their wheels and if they are, let's just end with a bang. Plus, he can still come back to Flash and Legends (or Black Lighting?) if he wants a paycheck.

Either everyone travels to the future or the future crew travels to the past. Gotta lock down Katherine McNamara as a CW lifer.

That chip thing really got me. You know, I was saying in the Flash thread about how Agents of Shield is really smart, that characters won't hesitate to take people down, but Arrow is really doubling down on the CW shows constant "I can't stop you, i need to redeem you!" thing with Emiko. Okay, so she is the Leader of the 9th Circle (seriously guys, way to use your grade 11 english skills) and she blew up the Queens Gambit. But Ollie is just gonna try to talk her down every time he's got her in his sights. Shoot her in the leg and slap the cuffs on her. twistedmentat fucked around with this message at 06:38 on Apr 1, 2019 |

twistedmentat posted:That chip thing really got me. I'll give the Emiko stuff points for being a family drama issue. With Ricardo Diaz the whole team decided for two seasons they were going to kill literally everyone but the main villain while he kept Scooby-Doo-Runawaying from every encounter as a frustrated hero stood there and helplessly grimaced with their useless weapons at whatever swinging door, long hallway, street or football field he slowly trotted away through, down or on. At least this season they are making it more comical as Dante just jumps off a balcony flinging knives that don't do anything before he magically teleports away. If the guy just no longer exists they look less stupid since they can't wistfully watch him slowly hobble away from the 32nd time they had him captured/helpless. It's even dumber on Flash since Barry can run faster than the speed of light and literally freeze time and experience hours within a few seconds but regular dudes just keep running down stairwells and escaping. The show is so good it doesn't even matter. Arrow isn't that good.

Holy poo poo, Emiko sucks. Retconning it so she killed Robert Queen is stupid as hell and I'm glad this show is ending.

yeah, so now she is responsible the green arrow, whose entire gimmick she lifted, even though she was more capable than Ollie and has been at this for longer?

I'm Emiiko, an over my head lone vigilante almost getting killed while trying to figure out, track down, and kill the person responsible for my mother's death. I'm also Emiiko, head of an all powerful shadowy bad guy group with near unlimited resources.

On the plus side, it's nice to see that Adrian Paul is aging like fine wine.

She's responsible in that it was done on her behalf but she didn't set it up. Although it definitely feels like there's a scene missing to explain how she went from joining the Ninth Circle to being in charge.

How do we know she didn't set it up?? She had the plans to the boat man! THE PLANS.

Please, she nuked a small city once Edit: come to think of it, that one alone probably gives her a body count higher than all the characters on all the shows combined. Except Barry Allen who has eradicated entire timelines. Edit 2: when accounting for vandal savage, do we count all the times he’s been killed and regenerated, or just he gets got by the time idiots? Was that a single death or three? HUGE SPACEKABLOOIE fucked around with this message at 10:31 on Apr 16, 2019 |

Maybe that first year but Katie Cassiday's in killer shape as well. I follow her on social media and a huge part of her presence is fitness.

Her instagram posts are awesome. I follow the entire cast on Instagram and it's worth it., Tala posts videos where she sings fairly frequently.
