Stephen did Aisha Tyler's podcast It's pretty interesting, and I'd certainly urge people to listen to the final segment at least. A little sad that they didn't talk wine, considering Aisha's plugging her own upcoming booze production project in the intro, but still.

I'd have guessed the proposed Supergirl show at CBS (they part-own the CW, so they could still crossover), but I feel like they'd have said so if it was. The Wonder Woman show the CW was developing a couple of years back, maybe?

Aphrodite posted:Isn't the other show Hourman? The Hourman pitch sounded like it was explicitly avoiding the more comic-book superhero elements, which hasn't been Kreisberg, Guggenheim and Berlanti's MO. Hell, remember that Kreisberg had a run writing the real-deal Green Arrow comic BEFORE the show was even really pitched. (And is co-writing it currently) dreffen posted:Brandon Routh Returns? The movie? No. Routh is actually really good in it, though. The problem is it's trying to have it's cake and eat it, by being a more modern story tacked on to a bunch of very VERY Silver Age elements. Lex Luthor as a self describing 'criminal mastermind' obsessed with pulling cons and real estate scams via ridiculous plotting, in the same movie where he stabs Superman with a Kryptonite shiv? Superman as a deadbeat dad stalking Lois with superpowers, while giving gee-whiz advice to plane passengers? I'm not sure the more modern meldrama stuff would've worked even without the goofy parts, but at least the tone would've been consistent.

He played it to the hilt, no doubt, I just wish we'd gotten evil tech magnate Lex, with Spacey basically doing his Frank Underwood-style performance. Hell, Underwood basically IS a supervillain.

eriktown posted:I bet this means that we're going to see a lot of Sarah in the flashback scenes. She'll probably show up from time to time, but Ollie thought she died on the island until she showed up in the city last season, remember? So she'll need to show up in other flashbacks (Amell has said that they're branching out and some episodes will have flashbacks follow the other characters, like Felicity)

If, after her completely innocent sister had left the area, someone had shown up and put several arrows in her followed by "You have failed this city" that would have been about what was supposed to happen to someone who kills people for money in Starling City. Speaking of... HE SAID IT!!!

Klungar posted:It was supposed to be super low budget: that wasn't the actual police, it was just Ollie's handler pretending to be the police. I think the issue is more that they couldn't pay a couple of dudes to also dress up as cops? Because shouldn't Tommy get taken to a station or something for a statement at least? And that final "John... I don't wanna die down here..."

Also, neat little bit of cross-media synchronicity: The current story in the regular (ie: not TV tie-in) Green Arrow comic has Dig and Ollie having to track down Mia Dearden, the comics' version of Thea. I mean, it's not shocking, considering it's being written by one of the showrunners, but still.

I think it's unlikely because getting her back to the place where she's willing to even kill Malcolm seems to be a turning point in the next episode, going by the preview. Unless there's a poo poo-ton of Thea flashback in the episode.

They could have written him out at the end of the second season under the pretense of "dude bailed to Bludhaven, oh well." And say 'oh, btw dont take another job in case we need u l8r d00d, thx'? If you fire a guy, he's gonna get another part, and if you decide you have an idea for him later, whoops, he's on the new Glee or whatever.

Drifter posted:I had such a huge crush on Kristin Kreuk. She actually never got better at acting. See, Kreuk is beautiful, but she is a charisma vacuum, to the point that I don't think she's capable of 'sexy'. Which makes all these attempts at making her a star-crossed forbidden lover ring utterly false. And her lack of acting talent means she fails at anything else she's given in scripts.

I love goons. A character makes a decision that's clearly meant to be dumb, and all that gets said on is "That's dumb writing!". As a few folks stated, Laurel didn't want to arrest the guy, she wanted to make him PAY. She didn't get to vent that anger on Komodo, so she's sublimating it (much like Sara did) into payback on men that hurt women. I doubt she would even have called the cops if she had beaten him up. Whereas Ollie would've shot him with a bola arrow, punched him in the dick and then called Lance on the Arrowphone. Which I just realised is a smartphone equivalent of the red phone in Batman '66.

One thing this episode gives to the overall series is the idea of a super-hacker using an impractical, SFX laden avatar if they need to make a public statement. I could see them use that as a stepping stone to Felicity creating her own version.
