Didn't her dad say something like that to him in the Pilot when they were at the party he threw for Oliver? :lol:

Yep he did..


I caught that like he's a player and not able to have one decent relationship only one woman after another per night.. Like that.. Nothing serious..

Exactly. It was just an out of line remark, a joke in bad taste, nothing more than that.

Most people don't even remember that happened, because it was just a joke. And as such, it's never going to be clarified because it doesn't need to, it was just and only a joke in bad taste. And it has to be taken for what it is. If people make a big deal out of a joke, it's their problem, not the writers'! Not to mention, even if it wasn't a joke (and it was a joke) the fact he says that and Tommy has never been convicted for it means that CLEARLY Lauren's dad is wrong. Does anyone seriously think that Lauren would so much as consider dating a man who date-raped someone? Come on.

Laurel's dad always talks sarcastically and is always way out of line when he speaks with Oliver and Tommy (and Oliver's family). The writers have done their job, they've made it VERY clear how Laurel's dad behaves when around them, thus anything he says is sarcastic and out of line, unless made serious by other circumstances (which was most definitely NOT the case when that line was uttered in the pilot, it was abundantly clear it was just an out of line remark). This is the only place where I've read people that even brought it up, without considering it was just a joke? Plus, it's not the writers' job to make people "root properly". :shrug: Everyone can pick whatever side they prefer, but that doesn't change how they're going to tell their story. There's nothing to clarify there, the context was very clear. The preface to the sentence was a very sarcastically uttered "Oh, Mr Merlyn, imagine my SHOCK at finding you here. Did you roofie anyone special tonight?" He was very clearly being way out of line and sarcastic. (and by the way the comment in no way makes any implication about the past, but about what's going on there and Laurel's dad opinion of Tommy. It clearly is just and only that.)

I took it as nothing serious but I can understand why people would read into it. We haven't been given much information on Tommy so I don't think there's anything unusual about people querying it. Also, there's nothing funny about date rape so even if Lance's wrong (and I think he's judging Tommy harshly given his dislike for Ollie) I doubt the writers put that into the script as a joke.

We have no way of knowing what was meant by his comment until a writer or character clears it. Based on what we've seen of Tommy it doesn't seem his style. He doesn't strike me as that bad.

That is your opinion, I respect what you're saying and see where you're coming from but it's not a fact so please don't state it as one. Let the writers and Tommy do that for us :)

So I really missed Tommy this week... :(

Yeah he wasn't on :(

I hope this will never hapen again :nod:

agree,
I think its too early to really know what the characters are capable of doing or not doing, all of them really, even the "good ones." This is one show were almost eveyone is sort of in the grey area and I just don't know what to think.

If the hero of the story is capable of murders then who knows what other skeletons others characters are hiding...:shrug: As of now Tommy is an innocent man unless some tangible evidence says otherwise.

This says he was in all 10. I hate how unreliable IMDB is

There is a CW vid of him colin donell start now

not available outside of the US

Aw man, I missed him tonight.

I hope he's not going to be one of those characters with little development who disappears every three or four episodes.

I totaly agree.. He's too cool..

I did like the part in between the episode where we got to see Colin play guitar and sing.

I just hope the show doesn't wrote in a random scene of him singing :lol:. The CW always does that with their musical stars.

Yes I loved that!! Didn't know he could sing!

I'd love to hear him sing.. :nod:

I think he should sing to Thea.. :lol: make her fall in love with him that way.. :lmao: That would probably get me to fall in love with him.. :lol: I love a man that can sing
