Fangirly squee about Arrow

[x_erikah_x]

I don't know how coherent I can be right now since I've just watched Arrow's latest episode, but I have to write down something or I will explode

I absolutely forgot
I NEED to check it out ON DEMAND today
Thanks for reminding me

[x_erikah_x]

Oh, please do. It's a great episode!

[black_raven135]

Digs: *You forget, I'm the one with the grenade launcher"

ROFL
This was one of the best yet

[x_erikah_x]

LMAO! I loved that one! Oh, Diggs, you're awesome!!

One of my favourites from this season :D For all the reasons you just said.

And for the first time, I actually LIKED Laurel. I hope this sort of kick to her character continues.

All the Tommy love! All the Felicity love! I ship her with Ollie so hard!

Thea continues to be awesome.

As evil as Barrowman is, I can't but love his every scene XD

And BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!

Btw, my 'I liked it' on twitter was deliberate not to put your hopes up high. I usually find it never lives up if I hear such things :)

[x_erikah_x]

All the love for this ep!!! I'm loving everyone. Really. Hard. Bad guys, good guys... lots and lots of love.

Laurel is supposed to be like that but so far she has never really stepped up to the way the character is like. I hope they keep doing her kick-ass as she should be. It is making me happy.

I'm shipping Felicity with Oliver so hard too! And that is really NOT like me!

JB always attracts all the hearts no matter how good or evil his character is. He just shines everywhere he goes.

Hahaha. Evil comment. It worked so well!

[sangate]

Maybe they've learnt something in the mini-hiatus. She really needs to get more character to her. This showed a bit of that and I really liked it.

On a perhaps stupid sidenote: I like Laurel's clothes. There is such a fuss going on in fandom about the women of comic books and their portrayal that I DO like the producers not putting her forward in clothes showing a lot of cleavage and legs and pining for the hero. I just needed to say that XD

OH GOOD YOU TOO?! Excellent :D

He does shine, doesn't he? :D And his enthusiasm about it just oozes off the screen :D

Haha good! :D

[x_erikah_x]

I noticed Laurel's clothes too. From the way that Black Canary dresses in the comics, she really dresses up well in the series.

I truly like *everything* with this show. All the cast, the premise, the whole kit and caboodle. I just don't see a weak link...well, okay the intro bit is getting old because we know the story so the intro saying the same thing every week...I'd love something better for intro credits. But the show itself...just phenomenal. One of the best new shows to come out in recent years, hands down. And I'm with you on the 'SQUEEE' factor on the upcoming episode.

[x_erikah_x]

It's perfect, isn't it! When you think about the number of actors and characters and to make it so well balanced is so hard! And I'm with you in the intro bit. They change the scenes a bit in each ep, but it *is* getting old.

[castalie]

I'm sorry if it feels like I'm stalking your journal but I'm so smitten with Arrow atm that I need to track down ALL THE SQUEE about it and when I saw you'd written a review, I had to come back. So hi!

Your review amuses me because I just posted mine and there are many similarities lol

The Diggle-Ollie parts were the best; it's so obvious that they respect and like each other, I can't get enough of their scenes together, really ♥

[x_erikah_x]

I so need all the Arrow squee I can find. Mind if I friend you? 'Cause I just did, lol.

[castalie]

Lol Not at all, quite the opposite, in fact. I'll go and friend you back! Like you, I need all the Arrow squee I can find!

Arrow fans assemble!

The casting director...

Let's see:
-John Barrowman
-Ben Browder
-Seth Gabel
-Alex Kingston

This is awesome. I kind of feel like I should send her (or him?) some fanmail telling them that they're the best casting director ever. Now I'm kind of considering actually doing it, because I know from friends who work in the industry that people who aren't actors, directors, or writers don't get much fanmail and genuinely appreciate it.

[x_erikah_x]

You know what? I think fans should totally do that! This casting director deserves to be hunt down, found and sent all the kudos.

[aim2misbhave]

So the casting director's name is David Rapaport, and there are two addresses:

The CW network headquarters in Burbank:
[show/actor name here]
c/o The CW Network
3300 W. Olive Ave.
Burbank, CA 91502
USA

Or the production offices in Vancouver, until April 2013:
OLIVER QUEEN FILMS
3500 Cornett Road-Bldg X
Vancouver, B.C., V5M 2H5
Canada

I'd personally suggest sending it to the CW headquarters, because casting directors tend not to hang around on-site production offices, and the people at the CW office are definitely going to be used to handling fan mail addressed to them. I'd just suggest putting something like "Casting Director - Arrow" on the envelope so the mailroom interns know where to direct it :-)

I verified the Vancouver address through some film industry stuff I have access to, and I've driven by the Burbank location so much I don't even need a GPS any more. Any other addresses posted online were mix-ups and go to another show's or network's offices.

[x_erikah_x]

That's awesome! Maybe we should post it to the comm so more people can send kudos!
