Those fan girls are ridiculous, for sure. Dean and Castiel are just total bros, nothing more.
I miss Jo :/
Owen/Alex? Aw, hell no. It's building back up to Alex/Shaun.

I got it:
Alex's junkie relapse will lead to Shaun getting blown up and her falling into Owen's arms.
Boom.

Yeah, sometimes I'm embarrassed to watch Supernatural due to how the female viewers influence the show. But I thought Cassidy was let go only because of budget reasons?
But yes, Jo getting put on a bus because of the crazy female fans was annoying. On the bright side, they probably helped rid us of Bela, who was just the absolute worst.
But anyway, staying on topic, super excited for the mid season finale and to see the new character brought on board (I assume in the spring).

Color me confused.
That's probably part of the reason but I was in the midst of fandom back then and the reactions to her character were just vile. There were constant demands to kill her character, claiming that another actress would have done better in the role. Then of course, they cast Cortese in Cassidy's place, and the fans got even angrier especially when they found out about her new relationship with Sam.
I'm really convinced now that Bela was awful mostly thanks to the writing and directing choice because Lauren Cohan shows some serious acting chops as Maggie Greene in "The Walking Dead" this season. I don't think Supernatural writers knew what they wanted to do with Bela and just made up the characterization as they went along.
In some ways the producer of "Supernatural" are to blame for coddling the fans and resorting to their demands instead of writing the story the way they want it to be written. As a result, we now end up with a show that is recycling the same problem for the Winchester over and over again. Because the fans refuse to see either character to move on in a direction that does not involve each other.
Anyway, back onto this show, I hope the writers have a plan for some kind of an arc for the series. At this point, the story is a bit all over the place with no cohesive direction as to where it's heading. I mean, they can only go on for so long with those notebook names.
I thought Cassidy was perfect as Ruby, honestly. Especially after Cortese took over, made me miss Cassidy that much more. Cortese did nothing in the role.
And I had no qualms at all with the actress, I had qualms with Bela herself. She was truly the worst character on the show imo. And agreed on that last point.
But who will play the dead cat?

Wow.
Well, I guess he's not returning to Teen Wolf.
So this means we're getting the junkie sidekick after all?

It will be interesting to see what they do with the Roy Harper character in this universe.

They're gonna make me feel even more ashamed.
And I'll cheer even harder when they tag-team kills.
I'm more worried about the love interest part. The last thing this show needs is more romance angst.

Well, it is on the CW.
Thea looked like she wanted to jump Ollie's bones a few episodes ago. Will she have that kinda chemistry with Harper? Tune in to find out!
Tonight's episode was a significant improvement over last week's. Some great action, decent character scenes (although Laurel remains very stiff) and a bunch of things left hanging for us to stew over while the show takes a break for a month.
The score in this show doesn't tend to be terribly notable but the cue in the end drove the scenes home. Good stuff.

cat population about to go down in Starling city.
they have it online at the official website.
Damn, Ollie got his ass kicked. I cringed when he landed on those broken arrows in his back.
And I'll say this again. They missed a good opportunity with the IT girl when they made Ollie this super technical badass (who apparently can't use Bing search) who can make explosive arrows and chain arrows and hack shit and make a super untraceable phone. She should have been brought in early and done this kind of stuff for him. Ollie would be the brute, Diggs the backup, and hot IT girl the tech wiz.
I loved how corny it was. Barrowman seemed like he was holding in the biggest grin when he took off the mask.

Gotta agree. But eventually she'll either die or be on his side anyways.
Was it? Let me Bing it and check.
That made me laugh pretty hard. I usually don't notice product placement but this was about as subtle as a brick.
Yea, he oversold it. Good episode, but why did he compare the ending to the Dexter season 4 finale shocker?

Good episode, all the characters got some nice development. Find your groove Arrow.
yeah i was not expecting that. i hope they show what kind of training Mr. Merlyn went through to be that good cause he was dominating Ollie.
whoever said Smoak not being apart of Team Arrow was a mistake was really on point too. i want to see more of her.
but oh well.
it might come back around at some point.
As usual, I have to try and overlook the fact that the police somehow magically can't surround a building or set up a perimeter of any sort allowing anyone through on the other side to do as they please, or in this case, letting a man rescue the vigilante they've wanted for ages.
I love this show for what it is and it's growing on me more and more, but that shit always makes me laugh.
And why do I see more chemistry between Thea and Oliver than Laurel and Oliver? That's not saying much though since there's not much at all between the latter.

Cause you ain't blind. It's so obvious they wanna jump each other's bones the second the camera's not rolling.
Borrowman playing a bad guy is fantastic, he looks like he enjoys every scene he can be menacing and threatening.
It would be so easy to turn that scene into incest porn parody.
We saw Thea in a bra and it was good.

Great episode. The Dark Archer as a villain is awesome. So brutal. And the duel was just so much fun to watch.
Also..dat Batman Begin reference when calling Dig for help
Good. I wasn't the only one saying their head "Alfred!!!"

Thea has to be Ollie's sidekick, dying to see her in that red get up.
That could be part of it. haha.
The chemistry between siblings on shows does take a hit at times I believe. It would make sense for those type of characters to be really close if the relationship overall is good and a rivalry isn't trying to be played up. The actors should be able to get that across. Far to often the quest for chemistry is focused on the romance in a show when the family relationship should be just as important. It's a big part of why the early seasons of Smallville were so good (Kent family and the Luthors). Why Supernatural works so well and has been on for so long.
