Excited for Scandal but can't wait for the other announcements (looking forward to SHIELD the most).
ReplyDeleteoh that time of year already..
ReplyDeleteYay, four shows I watch! The Flash/Arrow panel is going to be epic and all kinds of fun. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteHappy for The Flash & Arrow.Great shows!
ReplyDeleteI have caught up on both now! Love them!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear if "The Originals" will be attending.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad u gave Arrow a chance.
ReplyDeleteI loved it and stephen amell!!!! He is so hot. I do not know how to feel about that mid season cliffhanger though
ReplyDeleteSupernatural, pretty please.
ReplyDeleteI also had mixed feelings about the ending.But as we all know what's going to happen to oliver now,it isn't much of cliffhanger IMO.
ReplyDeleteI hope TVD and TO is also included in the upcoming list!
ReplyDeleteI know but then why did they do that?! I liked it more when Oliver was really focused and now he will not be focused. We shall see
ReplyDeleteAs the showrunners said in a recent interview, what happened at the end sets up many things, biggest being it gives a reason for Laurel to suit up as Black Canary, and gives the other members of team Arrow a chance to shine in their own story arcs.
ReplyDeleteIt will also give them a chance to introduce some new concepts to the show, namely the Lazarus Pits, as it seems pretty evident to most that this is how Oliver will be 'Resurrected".
I think its refreshing that the show is willing to go this route and take a chance now to hopefully introduce bigger and better storylines in the future (here's hoping Laurels arc works out as I'd love to find a reason to remotley like her character).
And Paley is a respectable thing. For Arrow and The Flash to appear....that is saying something about the two shows.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see them again at Paley for sure.
ReplyDeleteAlong with mass popularity,they are also garnering critic's attention too!
ReplyDeletelolol to the last part of your comment...haha i know she gets a lot of flack for crying all the time but kudos to Katie Cassidy for not completely jumping off a cliff after the way her character was handled in season 2....really looking forward to her being the badass I know she can be as the Black Canary
ReplyDeleteIs this where the renews/cancellations start?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to watch it'll be awesome! And I know they'll have a TVD and TO, so I'm not worried.
ReplyDeletei hope so
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised and happy for Scandal! It will be amazing :)
ReplyDeleteI doubt it. They went last year, most people don't think they'll go again this year.
ReplyDeleteArrow and The Flash yay can't wait :)
ReplyDeleteWe shall see.
ReplyDeleteWhen is The Vampire Diaries?
