You'd be surprised.
Josh Holloway's voice is actually WAY MORE KENTUCKY than his performing voice.
I just looked up his wiki.
Theater kid.
First big role was a gay love interest.
Butches his voice up ridiculously, going from just south of Courtney Act to somewhere in the Ben McKenzie range.
Translation: He's a way better actor than I thought he was.
Yeah, but that's just an accent. This is like "I gotta go home from college and talk to my Mormon parents" levels of alteration.

I mean by all means the interaction you had, a photo would be welcomed probably. It's just really if all you're in for is a photo... what's the point?
Imagine if you bumped into him again, at least he will likely remember you better if you had a real conversation before. And even if not at least you had something more substantial than a picture where maybe only one party is really in it.

I will say this though, he made an effort to talk to everyone. Like, I know that's kind of the point of these signing sessions, but he went out of his way to answer questions and was just really welcoming and friendly. Which is weird because Bellamy is such a douche, but that's acting.
Super chill guy, kind of a shame Bellamy got shafted so hard this season.
Edit: Oh so I was like "I'm not sure how they can save everything when it's all about to explode and radioactive and whatever" and he was all "Yeah I know, but Jason's crazy so we'll see." I laughed and he laughed, and I went "lol I know"
Nice, that does sound like it was an entertaining experience. Did you happen to catch any of his micro expressions when the bellarker was chatting to him?
Eliza is going to be at Oz Comic con in Melbourne next week over here. Thought about going but still quite a trip from Brisbane, hope her or ADC come to Brisbane at some point, would've flown to Melbourne though if it was both of them.

He totally poker faced it, ran his hand threw his hair though and stuttered a bit. Totally played it cool for the most part, got flustered at the art she had him sign. Seemed kinda uncomfortable and played it off. He kept looking at me and smiling though when he was talking to her, so I just kind of smiled and nodded.
I think it was more the fact that she was just like "I LOVE BELLARKE" and in his face about it as opposed to any personal feelings he may have, though. But he did hint they weren't gonna try Bellarke.

He's such a cool dude. Said his favorite Van Gogh painting was "Wheatfield with Crows".

So I know I'm way late on this. Just watching the two part finale now. But if next season's OT isn't titled "Doing the Right Thing Can Kiss My Ass" then there's something terribly wrong.

It's "Death By Clarke".
There should be a fake perfume ad in the OT.

Either that or I was thinking a header of Clarke smiling in a graveyard

So awesome to see Lexa return in the finale. What a bummer about her character. Really thought her character was amazing here. And Alycia is way better here than her dull character on FTWD.

You're telling me
Another scathing season 3 review, agree on all points except that I will probably be back to hate watch season 4, and my glimmer of delusional hope of course. Good read though if only for those like myself that want to get even a small sense of validation for their feeling on season 3.

Some quotes I thought were good points:
I absolutely loved the trope breaking approach with Finns storyline, and to see it again but in the normal terrible way as summed up in this quote was one of my main grievances:

The review makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside
The issue is that they had Bellamy actively participate, rather than enable.
Doesn't excuse him in my eyes.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
Wow, marathoned the 3 seasons recently on Netflix for the first time recently and just finished Season 3 and this show is an uneven mess. Season 1 was rough, but got to be pretty decent, Season 2 was actually really good, but Season 3 (despite looking really nice due to the increased budget I assume) is a disaster.
Super pissed @ Lexa getting killed off, and in such a pathetic way too. What a waste of a great character. I read that the actress couldn't be available much, so why not just write her off the season and bring her back sporadically here and there? To make matters worse, they go and kill off my OTHER favorite character Lincoln, for no reason at all (except to maybe give Octavia yet another reason to walk around scowling since that's all she does?) A MESS. Can Jasper just die already? Why do all the best characters have to go.
OMG don't even get me started on Bellamy participating in off screen genocide. Unlike Finn, Trashamy just gets to walk away, consequence free?!?
Whew and then there's the ALIE storyline. I did not expect this to be the main threat of Season 3. It started off so well too with the threat of the Ice Nation (which was resolved in just a few episodes when it seemed like it was going to be a season long arc). I love me some sci-fi, but this half baked story arc was not handled well to say the least.

Im not sure why Lincoln died, tbh. American Gods doesn't air until 2018 so he wouldn't have been filming, right? And it's not a cable show, so there probably won't be more than 10 eps a season. He should've been available. Was there something between Jason and Ricky? I remember the latter did a bunch of shit talking on Twitter but I think that was right in the middle of season 3. Hm.
No. Shows don't normally get extra budget.
The public shittalking started around the time he signed on American Gods and knew he had something else. But I still wonder if he would have bothered if Jason didn't kill Lincoln.
It's also not a matter of just "being available" though. When you sign a contract to be a primary cast member on most shows you are locked into that show. That's why Jason/CW had to negotiate with AMC to get Alycia for as many episodes as they got, it was up to AMC to allow it and for how long.

Oh he's leaving for another show too just like the Lexa actress?
I mean, if all the best actors/actresses are running from The 100 as fast as their legs can take them, maybe I should too. Really hoping Season 4 can get back to Season 2 quality (though I doubt it with all the Nightblood/microchip nonsense that's part of the lore now).
Plus wtf happened with Raven's boyfriend, the mechanic or engineer or whatever that she got together with @ end of Season 2? LOL he legit just disappeared as soon as Season 3 started with no explanation.
?
Season 1 looked incredibly cheap and basic, I was shocked how amateur the whole thing looked, I almost gave up after a few episodes. As soon as Season 2 starts, there's a massive improvement in the sets, and even the cinematography. The show looked like a high budget show starting with Season 2, I'm guessing they had a budget increase as the show became popular?
1) It's not that they are "running" away it's that they are getting on to much larger shows as a starring role which is better for their career then a part time character on The CW that doesn't get a lot of viewers.
2) I'm pretty sure he said some pretty sexiest or racist stuff IRL and they punted him. I could be wrong there, but I'm pretty sure that's what happened.
Wick was indeed a huge racist.
The 100 has been nominated for the Teen Choice Awards 2016: Choice TV Chemistry:
That is pretty much experience, the fact they had to build less sets and more episodes to play around with. But I would be very amazed if they got more budget per episode. There are very few shows that get budget increases. As for an increase because of their popularity, even Arrow got its budget cut after the first season. You even see it a bit on the cast cuts that the 100 made.

Gross, I'd say cw paid for it to start planting the seeds for season 4, but that supernatural one just shows they have no clue.
Javi Grillo-Marxuachof the season 3 writer and 2nd in command; writer of episode 307, was on the FandomRising panel at ATXFestival today. Answered some questions, this one in particular:
Transcribed on LChat.
I would say I am looking forward to a Xena reboot, but no way it gets made when pilots can be "too female" and also with all the drama around the dead lesbian trope at the moment seems unlikely that NBC will want to dive head first into a Queer female lead show.

wait are you serious lmao
He pretty much confirmed a while ago that xena and Gabrielle would be out and proud.
Yeah which is awesome, correct me if I'm wrong as of last update nothing is confirmed right? As he has to deliver a script before they lock into ordering a pilot. Unfortunately I think NBC is going to pass on this after everything recently. Pessimistic certainly, but most likely

It's a Xena reboot, they'd be fools to let it die.
Believe in the power of lesbians.

Bellamy and Clarke have had like a handful of one-on-one scenes this season and about 90% of them are them being legit pissed off at the other.

The Straight Conspiracy is real
Eliza Taylor at OzComicCon today in Melbourne, some quotes:
She entirely knows her fanbase, even mentioned she didn't want to talk about bellarke in response to one question as to not upset the majority of the crowd. So of course there is a degree of pandering, but she really comes off as sensitive to the issues and genuine in her care. She's a sweetheart.
Edit: more on the ily
"Was the I love you in the original script?"
Eliza: "It wasn't in the original script but I said it. It just kind of felt right. We luckily get to adlib a lot and I just threw it in there because you know the love of my life was about to sacrifice herself for me. Nothing too crazy. But yeah I did ADR it afterwards. Jason didn't think about putting it in because there was no I love you back. But I'm glad at least one of us got to say it. Is all I can say."

I would take a stray bullet for Eliza Taylor
Read the transcript for that ATX panel, a lot of it really came off as be happy with what your getting, and if your not grateful maybe the networks will stop having LGBT characters. Which is frankly disgusting, reaction to panel is overwhelmingly negative Twitter Reactions
Now for what Eliza thinks was Clarke's biggest development in season 3 to cheer me up: Video

I'll get over Lexa's death before I get over this disaster of an outfit. Henley and blazer? Clarke, why.
If shows can be rejected for being too female, I wouldn't be amazed if there are executives looking at the situation and thinking it would be better for them to skip such negativity. Executives are risk averse.

Even if her bra were to suddenly vanish mid-scene, nothing justifies this.
Probably the one awful outfit in the show. Motherfucking post-apocalyptic world and they have damn good clothes all around.
