I think we've had this discussion every year.

People want the crossovers on blu-ray and Warner doesn't want money.

I'd rather see Curtis- he healed Felicity's total paraplegia and after being months in a wheelchair she just got up and walked away. Sweet.

Looks like Hoechlyn but some are saying it's Gerard Christopher from the 1980s "Adventures Of Superboy" TV show.

Think about how actual comics work with these events. Even with the main story there’s all these side story tie-ins, and I think the episode will mostly be like that, until maybe the final moments when BL is recruited. But regardless it looks like much of the episode is going to be more about Crisis than about the ASA, Marcovia, etc.
They changed the name of the episode from The Book of Resistance: Chapter Four: Third Stone From the Sun to The Book of Resistance: Chapter Four: Earth Crisis.

Looking at the preview though, it just seems like their plot will go on while the sky is red. I bailed on this show though, so no clue where they are storywise.

Stephen Amell says he won't guest star on any Arrowverse show in the future: 'I'm done'

Makes sense. On the Rosenbaum podcast he was obviously done. As I recall he only came back for the last season due to the money. Plus, having watched the last season, it was a complete waste. None of the material really played a role in the crossover. Or at least in my option, it wasn’t content that needed to be shown and couldn’t have been done through 5 minutes of exposition.

Content is irrelevent though. I'm sure WB & CW made $$$$ bringing it back another year.

Well that isn't really a surprise. Amell has wanted out a while due to the shitty writing.

Heck this season I've already dropped Legends of Tomorrow, Batwoman, and Supergirl. While Arrow ended.

So only Arrowverse I'm still watching is Black Lightning and The Flash; and there are times when I've contemplated dropping The Flash.

Not a shock. Virtually all the major leads on these CW shows made in Canada burn out from the grind of doing it. Unless you are fully committed to relocating your entire life up to Vancouver, you just don't get enough time off to enjoy yourself.

Well, Amell is Canadian, but I think he lives in Los Angeles.

I think he’s tired of the grind of 14 hour shoot days and working out in the gym on a regular basis. Arrow required him to be in top physical shape. And shooting 22 to 23 episodes over 8 to 9 months with a very short break is probably a grind for a lead actor. He may sound a little spiteful, but he did this job for 8 years and I think he really wanted to move on.

Yet his next show is about wrestlers, so go figure...

I have no problem with him making a clean cut but he comes off abrasive in his post Arrow interviews. That’s completely different than what I have seen in the last seven years. I understood the podcast, he was exhausted but he’s dropped any diplomatic approach.

We only watch the Flash but we still haven't been hooked back in since the crossover. I don't think we're near dropping it, but even my kids mentioned that the writing has taken a dive compared to earlier seasons.

Welling said something similar in his interview with Rosenbaum. That was his biggest regret during his time on Smallville.

Doing an 8 to 10 episode cable series with no action sequences is a much much lighter load than what he did with Arrow, which filmed 23 episodes over most of it's run.

Wrestling also seems to be a real passion for Amell. I think he wouldn't mind becoming a WWE superstar.

What are you even talking about? Amell has never directed. Ramsey directed 2 episodes of Arrow and probably has a good relationship with the producers and crew.

Appearances.

I suppose directing the episode is one way to guarantee you're in it.

Melissa Benoist has leaked it she's no longer willing to play the character after Supergirl ends. I didn't think she'd be up for it, she has an outside shot at having a productive acting career after the show ends.
