Sunshine

Felicity has no POV at all. Did they forget she was shot or what?!

Oliver shut up!

Curtis is MG's mouthpiece? LOL

He was calling Quentin Hoss last week.

Chase was shot.

Last thing Oliver said before the shooting began was that he isn't comfortable covering up the circumstances of the death of Detective Malone.

Oliver is getting serious about Susan. I vomit.

Hard to judge without seeing the scene but this is what I would think. They can argue in circles and it go no where and accomplish nothing. This is not the show to be tackling this debate especially if it's business as usual in the next episode.

Guns for crime fighting vs ak47s for personal use? The idea of reasonable gun control? (I'm not arguing either side just thinking how they might go about it.) I'm sure they think of their heroes as crime fighters. Wild Dog is the loose canon in the bunch, a little too trigger happy. Luckily he can't hit the side of a barn. My guess is Starling City ends up with some sort of gun control laws.

I think it's the type he uses plus he doesn't appear to have any other real skills. He's the guns a blazing type. Have we seen him in a fight?

Yeah. I guess I have WM's words about genuine feelings in my head as well as both emotional and physical danger. So I am expecting her to confront him but keep his secret. Once it's out there something will happen to her. Her investigation could still lead to cops going after GA. She's not the bad guy though because she doesn't mean for it to happen. Oliver is proven right to trust her. SA keeps saying wait and see when people tell him Oliver's a moron so I expect him to be right.

Vigilante could attack Mayor Queen in 5.15 if he decides he's part of the problem depending on the stance taken in 5.13.

I guess they need a reason to write Thea out for a couple of episodes and this is it. I think they are going to tell us Oliver isn't stupid because she's not going to use her info against him because genuine feelings. <eyeroll>

Willa is in 14 episodes. She was in 1-9. She is in 13 & based on EBR's tweets 14. She doesn't appear to have shot anything since then so she will have 3 to go - my guess would be they happen once JB is back. Dicey is the word that jumped out at me. Then my thoughts went to the shot up limo but I think that's in 15. According to GATV Thea makes her feelings known regarding Reportiver and they are similar to twitter's in 5.13. This could estrange her from Oliver. How does that make the situation dicey though? Does she leave the mayor's office for the unknown or does something bad happen to her? I have questions. I need answers. :-)

From screenertv.com Now that she's back though, things for Thea are about to get very dicey. "She's headed in a direction that's very similar to where her mother was before she was killed in Season 2," executive producer Wendy Mericle teases. "We're taking her to a place where she's been dealing with all of these issues, the same way Oliver has, with the bloodlust and the other elements of her past. This season's going to find her in a similar place, but for very different reasons." What does this word salad even mean?

Did he keep the picture of doom after Laurel died? He gave it to her in the 4.18 flashback and then she showed it to him in 4.18 present day. Did he put it in his pocket to remember her by again? LOL! 4.19 is the one episode I have never rewatched so I don't remember what happened to it from there.

I guess this is why there is tension in the bunker.

Being in 14, does that equal 14 actual appearances or credited in 14?

I think IF Rory came back it might be a one or two episode thing and then gone. I was just surprised they had him say he'd be back. Might mean nothing. In the comics they seem to love big team ups. @BkWurm1 might be right and he comes back for Felicity's story as Rory only. I wonder if Vigilante is gone sooner rather than later simply because of the description for 5.15 unless (assuming it's Chase) he's a redemption story for Oliver too. I would be fine with a Diggle and Oliver pull her back scenario too. EPs said Curtis, Diggle, and Oliver all try to reach her. Ultimately it's going to have to be her decision though similar to Diggle's in 5.12 IMO. I'm just curious as to how and why that comes about. What does it lead to - just a better understanding of Oliver or something else?

Artemis is back and Madison is tweeting about loving Juliana. The show is repeating story lines with different characters. IF Artemis is being redeemed does Dinah take her under her wing like Sarah did Sin? Rory said in his final scene with Felicity that he would be back. It might just be one of those things one says, but I wonder if he might come back somewhere in 5.21-5.23 with his rags operational ready for the Big take down. Since this season's theme is legacyf he might make a reappearance. The only GA comics I read were the Nu52 when Felicity was in it. It culminated in a huge team up to take down the Big Bad. So far Felicity's legacy is Havenrock. IIRC, she/we are going to find out she had some role in establishing Helix later in 5B. Are they going to turn it around somehow so it's an organization for good or have the EPs decided she should only leave behind dubious things? She was a force for good in S1-S4 and helped multiple superheroes. I just find it interesting/odd that she's having "her island" in a year where the theme is legacy. What they are doing with her now seems similar to her backstory in the Nu52.

On IMDb, Doris Chase is listed as being in both 5.13 and 5.15. There is a young girl, Zoe, who is listed in 5.13. Maybe Adrian's wife and child are there and the daughter dies? If Green Arrow doesn't show up during the attack, Chase might sick the police on GA. When we first met Chase he thought the guys in masks were the bad guys. Susan inadvertantly reveals a OQ/GA connection so he targets OQ in 5.15? They said Diggle would be growing closer to Adrian. Does going after Vigilante (assuming he is Chase) qualify? :-) If Chase is Vigilante does this mean his story is over in 15 or 16? He's a regular is why I am curious. As Segarra goes out (15 or 16) Barrowman comes in (17)?

Do we know who shoots up the mayor's office in 5.13? Is it Vigilante or some random shooter?

Sorry. It was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the photos. The good news is I'm wrong 99.99% of the time. I also can hear EBR saying in an interview something about having to grow apart before they can grow together.

So, if the limo is getting shot up in 5.15 is Snuzzan in the vehicle? Are we paralleling 4.09/4.10 somehow only this time Oliver is at the hospital for her in 5.15 or 5.16?

I think the secret is coming out in 5.15. Just because Oliver knows doesn't mean she stops. She might. I just took "mourning Billy" to mean she's still involved with Helix in 5.20. What can I say mourning Billy is only acceptable to me if it's code for something else. :-)
