She's in David Fincher's new Netflix series that looks to be amazing.

If they can double Neal McDonough for fight scenes they can double Kirk Acevedo.

It would also be a good jumpstart on a band of brothers reunion.

Her aunt and Murdoch divorced in 1999.

Robert Murdoch died and was raised as a lich since then so he would have shed his mortal attachments and memories of her.

Just in the middle of season 3. Why Waller is even alive in the present timeline, given the poo poo she pulled on Queen, is truly beyond me.

--edit: Oh god, Shado's alive? I can't wait to see the conclusion of that, given he didn't defuse Slade with that factoid.

Brandon Routh is also great on Chuck, the NBC spy series from a few years back. He basically plays a James Bond boy scout who goes off the deep end. Routh is so good at playing smug.

If Captain Marvel/Shazam wasn't such a naming and rights cluster gently caress, I'd say Routh could do a pretty good Big Red Cheese.

I don't think there is any rights/naming cluster gently caress at all -- there's an announced Shazam movie coming in 2019. Well, no naming issues other than not being able to print "Captain Marvel" in a comic book title

I actually liked that guy because he was a normal villain caught up in one of Dahrk's hilariously insane schemes.

I caught up with Season 5 a couple of weeks ago and I'd be happy if the only casualties from the island are Felicity and Curtis.
I found myself itching to skip most scenes where Felicity had a key role (so little was I interested), and I doubt I so much as smiled at anything Mr Fantastic said all season, plus his 'hilarious' misunderstanding of time-and-place-to-speak actually slowed down countless scenes throughout the season. For a season that was generally very good and built tension effectively through plotting, the number of times we had to wait at the end of a scene for Mr Fantastic to say something 'humorously incongruous' before we could move on is mind-boggling.

I remember somebody asking a while ago if they ever showed what happened to Darhk's daughter after the bunker.

Unlikely to affect Arrow because of timelines, but it's been announced they're bringing in Courtney Ford (Routh's wife) to play her as an adult on Legends.

Having caught up with last season of Flash and Legends, I decided to dive into Arrow before going on to Supergirl.

The writing gets *worse* after season 2? Dude cant go an episode without making out with someone or pledging love for someone else. It's like middle school up in here.

I hear that was the best part, yeah. I dipped out when it was clear they ditched Jimmy because white CW fans can't handle black love interests after what happened to Candice Patton.

And then I hear that they brought in Ms Martian with Sharon Leal who is GORGEOUS and instead of doing anything regarding intersectionality and giving her poo poo to do because "Feminist show!" they changed her character and tried to get her and Green Dad together. Because again, black people have date to each other, even if that person was originally supposed to be her (fake iirc?) uncle. It would even have been an opportunity to see him father someone else and maybe the girls can get jealous and they could've added more layers to all of their relationships and ugh

Ms. Martian is a white Martian. The niece thing is because then they can have some dumb "you lied to us" drama when it gets revealed, instead of J'onn taking the 15 seconds to explain to his trusted friends that he can vouch for her.

I don't know what the show did, I didn't watch it.

Edit: IMDb lists 7 appearances, so not a regular role.

Oh please dont tell me she got hatemail from flyover state failures.

Though I do wish she was a better realized character. Her role in season 3 was 'The Girlfriend/Schrodinger's Fridging' which was sadly better than the second and part of the first season.
