Sorry. I missed the jump when I skimmed the dates. Thanks for correcting me. ?I guess I don't understand why the episode number matters so much. As a generalization episode 8 is the crossover and 9 the MSF. 2017 might just be the exception to the rule.

LOT's 7th episode was the crossover last year while everyone else's was 8th because of it being broadcast on Thursday with Thanksgiving being the issue. LOT's MSF was #8. They could do the same with Arrow. None of the other shows took a one week break last fall.

Anyone remember Arrow 5.04? It was sold by the writer as a really big Oliver/Diggle relationship episode. There was very little Diggle in the episode. It was about breaking Diggle out of jail because Oliver couldn't lose him. Same thing could happen with Alex/Kara. Something happens with Alex in 1. Kara talks not stop about it in 2 & 3 to other characters (or it's her motivation).It works itself out and everything is resolved in 4. Whatever their thing is (I quit watching mid S2) could be part of all 4 shows without Alex being in all 4 except for Previously On.

She's probably been told no spoilers anything. Also, even though she tagged the Arrow account isn't she primarily talking to her followers? In which case the bunker might be a surprise to them even if it's not to those of us who watch the show regularly.

EBR went from 10.2% to 9.9% while I was voting so I don't see the point in continuing.

Generally speaking I liked S5, including 5A, but for me the finale was more a "Now might be a good time to walk away" moment than a "Oh my gosh. Who survives?" moment. It might be different if Oliver was one of my top 3 favorites but he's not. Right now the main reason to tune in (for me) is the switch to Thursday. As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing else on Thursday nights that interests me.

Oops. I was just making an observation not trying to imply anything one way or the other.

I'm aware that the main characters are alive, although Thea's status is uncertain. I find it interesting (not really) that for S6 - which is a new beginning for Oliver- the confirmed characters to the general audience are Green Arrow, Black Canary, Deathstroke, and Black Siren.

I thought Stephen got angry phone calls about revealing Slade Wilson would be in S6. They planned to announce it at SDCC.

I thought MG said Vigilante was for someone other than Oliver.

Before he brought Sara into it he said they talk about it across the Arrowverse. He pretty much said no to Arrow. The time traveler (Sara) would be most difficult one to have a reason to be there. Supergirl could show up with no difficulty.

Episode is "Reversal". Does Felicity propose? Or does she save Oliver from harm?

Since it's a direct quote tease, just for fun I'm going with multiple kisses for multiple characters. Oliver & Felicity Diggle & Lyla Dinah & Quentin or Rene (present day) IIRC, SA said something like "Not tonight, but soon..." Reminder: I'm wrong 99% of the time.

Well then since she CAN'T call it Smoak Tech, and the reason why will be obvious, I guess joint venture it is.

In the comics, Mr. Terrific (Michael Holt) also had a company -Cyberwear - later rebranded as Holt Holdings which he sold to Wayne Tech. They maybe merging 2 stories into 1.

Smoak Technologies is a real company name. Maybe they can't use the name going forward.

So is this going to be a replay of S3 with Curtis Holt playing the role of brilliant inventor and Felicity handles the business end of things with a technical assist now and then? These writers aren't very original. Sorry, my disappointment is showing. I get the in story reasons but I still don't like it.

In the comments Matt said he was 99%+ sure it wasn't so I'm guessing Holt is in there somewhere.

After EBR was spouting all that nonsense at SDCC about her contract calling for all her scenes to be with EK I won't be shocked if Holt is in the name. I hate the idea though. I think instead of building technology she should work in cyber security. She can write programs that could protect people/companies from hackers like Helix or Felicity Smoak. :-)

Boo! ??

Yay for Rory returning in 6.05.

I hate the idea (because I hate Barry) but I think a Barry & Iris wedding makes the most sense for a big life event bringing everyone together. Barry & Cisco are the only characters who have interacted with the Supergirl CAST. I would expect this to be the Big CW Wedding of the Arrowverse because it is comic cannon.

If the season starts Oct 12 and the only break for Arrow is US Thanksgiving doesn't that make the crossover episode 6.07?

Might be fun if it's Dorian Chase who turns out to be Vigilante and is played by Josh Segarra. :-)

According to pursuit23's twitter feed Willa came in to shoot a couple of hospital scenes and hasn't been seen since. Coma? I wonder if she's on limited episode count again. Sorry, can't link on mobile.
