I was able to identify the Arrow, Flash, Supernatural and TVD guys. I feel like I should be ashamed of this.
Only got 7. Masculinity saved.

I got 10. There were a few names from the CW I didn't recognize.

Beta is such a douchebro term. Tommy and Eddie are totally better men than Oliver and Eddie.

Eddie is better than Eddie?
These threads revel in those kind of stuff. To be fair, the whole S1 Arrow was focused on how amazing Oliver is as a man, a fighter, a warrior, a brother, a lover, a plummer, a businessman, a son, a sun, an everything.
Of course you get alpha/beta stuff when the show encourages it...

So apparently Arrow may have had bigger plans for Harley Quinn that were nixed by higher-ups.

sounds about right.
I was at the panel in question and... well, this is some tremendous journalism. Outstanding.

I meant the article in question. Your journalism would give Iris West pause.

Don't be suck a tease and elaborate please

Willa didn't volunteer the information, she was asked at an irreverent panel who she'd like to see on the show from the DC universe. She launched into the Harley comment as an answer, which is being treated as a genuine bit of news by the media for some odd reason. This was the panel where twenty people thought Rila was genuinely called Tatsu and Katana, and no one seemed aware that Arrow had finished airing on Sky One given the 'boos' and 'SPOILERS' yells whenever anyone mentioned stuff that happened in the S3 finale.
I mean it was a really entertaining panel, but really... MCM London is not exactly the place for blockbuster announcements or genuine news. It's the place where people get drunk on the grass and cheer as a shirtless guy dares people to give him an F5.

yeah but they get ran over which is the problem. That's why the phrase Alpha and Beta exist in the first place. What's all that good if your can't impose it when its needed. There are flaws in both.

What?
Yeah I thought that was weird. They could've easily said that Maseo jacked some lazarus pit water to save him. I thought we'd find out later in the season that was indeed what happened but nope it didn't happen that way.
It occurred to me today, doesn't bringing back Sara for Legends completely invalidate this whole season?
I don't mean actually erase it from the canon. But Sara's death was the trigger for everything that happens in S3, it's what upends the relationships between Oliver, Thea, Laurel, Lance and Malcolm, and it's what drives the Ra's/League plot to include Ollie at all. And now the reason for all of that is undone? Just seems like a really cheap, shitty way to manufacture unnecessary drama.

No. The fight quickly became about protecting Thea and getting revenge on Ra's for the cliff fight. Sara's death wasn't really a big plotline post mid-season finale. Yes it's the catalyst for the season but bringing her back doesn't change what happens post ep9.
She had a thing for Tommy and failed getting him like a beta beaver.
Ra's doesn't care about Sara at all, Malcolm uses that to blackmail Oliver but it is not like it was necessary.

Yeah. They even had the "soul returning to body" sound effect when he woke up. It was a wasted opportunity. You could have shown him having side effects of Lazarus Pit, which would make Thea being put there more dramatic.

Nah, he'd be better as a Marvel villain
Not sure he'd work on a CW budget.

Who is that anyway?
That's Stephen Amell, the man who plays Oliver Queen in the US TV-series "Arrow", you may have heard of it.
That is one of those vampire shows right? This is that werewolf spin-off from The Vampire Diaries, right?
Not really sure, but it's set in the same shared-universe as Glee and Spartacus.
He's asking about the KISS descendent.

No Felicity around, it's already over!
That's because Felicity is hooking up with Star Dust! And needs Oliver to remember to just let those you love into one's heart. After which, she'll leave Star Dust (taking the WWE company with her) and she'll get back with Ollie as they drive to TNA Wrestling.
That's ok, I heard he's already doing fine hooking up with some reporter chick from channel six. No need to ruin things by getting back with Ollie.

I hope they develop a feud with Steven Amell.

Maybe? I don't really know the storyline.
He's his brother.
Stardust isn't a billionaire superhero though.

They can build the feud with Amell by having them do a salmon ladder competition for Felicity's heart.
