So Felicity gets the C story, Talia the B, and Tina the A.

Thanks.

Is it safe to assume the Reddit guy is canadagraphs?

Not until late March so about 6 or so episodes away.

Has Dinah - Quentin's ex, mother of Sara & Laurel - ever been referred to in show as a Drake? I'm wondering if Tina is going to be either a relative of Dinah Drake or named Dinah Drake and goes by Tina. Boland could also be a married name. This will probably appease some who rejected Sara because she didn't have the name. She appears to be a metahuman with a sonic cry. She's the best fighter ever. MG did say she would have deep comic roots. Are there any other Black Canary's besides DD & DLL? If she is a Drake, maybe she and Quentin fall for each other and have a daughter DLL in honor of the original Black Canary :-)

I think Thea and Lance could be gone this year. Don't contracts become more expensive each year? Budgets probably get cut again next year. WB/DC wants masks. If Thea goes maybe she gets written out by connecting with Roy. They could even do that without bringing Colton back.

Next season.

Do they actually go rock climbing or is that a jab at people who read blind items? Their relationship is on the rocks, sharp jagged rocks. (paraphrasing) SA admitted once he googles himself to see what people are saying about him but not to him. There were also some tweets that the blind was posted to his FB page but disappeared quickly. I'm not trying to start anything. LOL! I've just found this week highly entertaining. Keep it up. As for all the training he's doing, there are rumors that a celebrity American Ninja Warrior will be happening. No official confirmation. I actually don't watch many of his videos anymore but I've seen 2 small clips in the last 2 weeks focusing on grip strength which is vital for that competition. His fan base has always wanted him to go on the show. My guess is he could do a one-shot appearance but not a multi-week competition (from a time perspective).

BS was speaking on behalf of the because comics* and/or L/O shippers. Felicity was speaking on behalf of the show and/or F/O shippers. Felicity got to deliver the knockout punch. I did find the comment that maybe Felicity wasn't tall enough quite humorous. I know some love the height difference but I wondered if there had been disparaging remarks about her height by those who hate F & F/O. If you look at it that way I can see a BS/O/F triangle. *The people who use that reasoning not necessarily comics readers.

They are just whatever is filming when the photographer is on set. Sometimes it means something. Most times it means nothing.

Yeah. I wasn't sure if she was talking a specific episode or the rest of the season when she mentioned him going down a slightly different path but mainly helping the team. I just know his family's legacy was portrayed as saving lives.

I thought maybe they would have him follow in the footsteps of his father and his grandfather and have him join whichever branch of the military. This would allow him to save lives with his rags. He's not really doing that in Star City. Not sure how a trip to Russia plays into that. Narratively he's been there for Felicity's story. She's now going to have new cohorts so I think he's done. Maybe another "being true to who I am" scenario?

Another option might be Felicity for Rory if something happens to him in 5.12. Didn't see the flag. I do now. SA was sprawled on the ice yesterday in dark clothing so I assumed it was the Arrow suit.

I think present day. I thought SA was in Arrow costume here yesterday.

There was some spec that maybe it was Artemis. We are supposed to find out what happens to her at some point.

Have we had any villains this year, present day, besides Tobias Church and Prometheus?

I don't know if it's the only reason but I think Oliver not being solely focused on getting Prometheus will be part of it.

Maybe she's just going from place to place causing widespread destruction without caring if people die. If she is looking for someone Oliver & Co have the resources (Felicity) to help find them which might be why she joins up so quickly. I'm going to stop now. My reasoning is starting to make the casting call feel real.

Sorry. I meant his success as in a redemption arc. Neither Felicity nor Diggle need to be redeemed. They just need to be reminded of who they are. He wanted/tried to help both Helena and Sara "find another way." He didn't. Last night he wanted to help BS. As Felicity pointed out if he could redeem her he could be redeemed. It actually just struck me when I was reading one of the WM's interviews how much the Oliver/Tina connection sounded like his connections to both Helena and Sara. Doesn't mean story will play out the same way.

So is Tina going to be Oliver's "success" story in "showing another way"? Helena was a failure. Sara wasn't a success for him either. (She returned to the LOA at the end of S2).

I assumed he bought it himself. Needed somewhere good to shoot his Facebook live stuff. I guess it could be a paid perk.

It sounds like Diggle & Rory's stories get wrapped up in 5.12. SA mentioned that they are paralleling An Oliver lie with Felicity around 5.15. He's kept out of the loop but others know. Unless I misunderstood-I know a lot think he finds out then-I think the lie happens then and is revealed somehow in 5.20. Felicity gets flagged in 5.11. She's in Russia in 5.12. She probably isn't in 5.13 much (flashbacks are Rene's) which seems to make 5.14 the earliest she could actually do something. This could lead to a confrontation which could lead to some understanding between them.

Glad I'm not the only one who wondered this, if only for a moment.

Entry did have a blind from between S2 & S3 that said KC was trying to get EBR killed off and Oliver a new love interest. 2 seasons too soon? Just kidding but I can't say it didn't cross my mind earlier this season.

He did a FB video where he mentioned parenting rage over a kid being sick at school and others not being informed. Mavi had a cough for about 6 weeks. Turns out to be whooping cough. After all the talk about a sick child the wife posts pictures and a video of karaoke and drinking. Next pictures are posted about football and plenty of drinks were on the table. Mavi is with the nanny at the zoo. SA has always tried to control the narrative as a loving dad who doesn't get to spend much time with his child because she lives away from him. She's sick and with the nanny. He & his wife are partying. People put him on a pedestal. Some have now quit looking through rose colored glasses. Btw, he is not posting the pics and videos. His wife and her friends are. It contradicts his Facebook image. So he went from politics to all this.
