I would love to see this being the was it goes..... However they said the DMB would be handled with maturity too.....so I don't trust that this will be handled much better.

It depends on how its played..... TBH one might argue, the fact that FS took a stance of moral high ground against Oliver, called off not just their wedding but also their relationship because he lied by omission to protect his son, rather makes her decision to lie by omission worse because of how she reacted over his lie by omission especially since her lie affects not just him but all of the Arrow team.

So what do we know for sure about tomorrow night then? I think I forgot after all the extreme speculating.

Should we be getting any spoilers today? Since it's the day before arrow? Not so subtle topic change.....

I think, right now, since we have so little to go on with Dinah Drake so far; that mostly we are projecting our worst fears. I think over the next few eps we will have a better idea or her, and where Olicity will stand post skeevy reporter.

Too many Dinah's.....its so confusing... It's the Canary Panel! What could possibly go wrong...

Weird I didn't see it, and it kept coming up on my phone in my reply box..... oh well .... don't care

In my mind a revolving cast not only makes sense, but actually honors the comics better. From my understanding a lot of these characters, even BC, was prone to a lot of coming and going. Also, wasn't the whole point of the noobs was so Oliver had help and didn't need to be out every night? So wouldn't it make sense that the team rotateed and had people that took nights off, or people that had solid smaller missions for intel? It seems awfully stupid for them to ALL be out on the street at the same time so much....... Dont know why that never posted earlier yesterday.....but whatever..... As to FS being killed off..... nope I think even tptb know a great deal of their draw if from stringing the Olicity ship along....However, I could see her being kidnapped at the end of s5 and Oliver thinking she's dead..... so he tries to move on again with Dinah only to find out she's alive and he needs to save her..... I actually expected them to do that at the end of s3 or 4.... as their Olicity cockblock tactic.

I mostly found it useless because there was no spoilers, and because she even said its still too early to see how things will go with her character.

Did Thea know, I thought they intentionally kept her in the dark to get a real reaction from her. Also for all we know HT is working with Prometheus or Susan....or he just meant to use it as a way to break to Oliver that Felicity was seeing Malone, so he should go have a one night stand with the reporter to get over it.

http://culturess.com/2017/02/19/exclusive-interview-arrows-newest-black-canary-juliana-harkavy/ Just gonna leave this useless interview here. To be clear, I find it useless because it contains no spoilers and she said that its too soon to really tell what direction her character will take.

I've been reading the comments anyway..... Why cant I buy them before it airs on TV like I could Downton Abby?

Getting Zoe back would also be a good way to show that Oliver has made a good impact on people. Rene got sober because he wanted to help him, and threw helping Oliver he was able to heal and get to a place that allows him to be a good father again. Maybe Thea leaves to meet with daddy dearest, to tell him ' I still hate you for all eternity, and I want you to die a death of a thousand fiery suns. But it's Wednesday so could you fix my problem with Ollie...' and then she asks him for dirt on Susan

I think the only woman they have ever done a sucessful job writing was Felicity, but now they made her an inconsistent hypocritical mess to the story as well. I loved FS til bmd stuff, for me it all went down hill from there for her.

Just remember that they can and will go back to the drawing board and rewrite a script while they are filming. They have done it, remember? Felicity was only supposed to be in 103, but they had to write her into 104 while filming.... MG said they are usually filming one, prepping the next ep, and still writing the one after that. So most likely, given they are about to start filming 519 on Tuesday, they are finishing 520 and starting 521. If push come to shove, that is more than enough time for them fix some mistakes before any of these eps air. Its not not that they can't, or it would be too costly because at some cons I've been too, SA said its common to go back film some things for most eps so I imagine reshoots are worked into budget( how much would it cost to reshoot a scene on a set they use most days anyway?) The question is whether or not their hands are forced to do so whether they want to or not.

My guess would be that 514 is Dinah is the A story, and maybe felicity and Helix will be the b story assuming the team sans Oliver finds out before Oliver this rate....like DR said... i still think therw is validity in what DR said, they are usually told before interviews what they are and are not allowed to say.... I think either the reporter got the ep wrong or possibly DR forgot what was about to air given they are filming way ahead of us.... even SA admits to forgetting what ep is airing a lot.

Unless they only mean that she will be acting all devious and cunning in hopes to find out what Susan is up to.... Her best decision would be to enlist Felicitys help ....the only way I could see Oliver and Thea breaking away from each other is if whatever she does puts the lives of people they care about in danger, or causes Susan to change targets and go after someone Oliver cares about instead. Or if Thea's investigations prompts Prometheus to kill Susan. Even if he knew Susan was horrible at that point he would not appreciate learning Theas actions got her killed.

Maybe Oliver called Susan Felicity when their in bed? .......oh wait....they said its not like Isobel....

Maybe she approaches Oliver, post breakup, with some variation of 'I know you're the GA and I love you and will keep your secret. I can even help you get intel." so Oliver informs that he is back with Felicity (assuming they repeat the Raylicity ending, and lets be honest they love repeating themselves) and Felicity does all that for him, and he tells her to stay away. So now she is mad, not only is she being rebuffed, but her help is rejected, and she is being told that she is being replaced with his ex-fiancé who apparently has been in on his secret all along....working with him all this time that as far she and the public could see, they've had very little contact.... Well.....Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, so she switches gears, and decided to take Felicity down instead. if anything....if I had more time....I could write a compelling new Fanfic...that would be FAR BETTER than the show right now...

Maybe the 'disbanding' is a temporary thing, like 'Hey, everyone is breathing down our necks. John, why don't you take the wife and kid on vacation. Thea, you talked about going on a spa retreat, so go. WD, needs to go see his kid. Curtis, go find your hubby and see you next week. The wife(Felicity) and I are gonna head to an unknown location so we can get reacquainted. Ok good? Alright...and BREAK!"

Team arrow is falling apart.... must April you you know what we need? We need a good info leak... we usually get a few a season....we need a leak.... like LL funeral leak...

Maybe it's a trap.... they let Prometheus think he has won?

Food for thought..... Anatoly said he was coming to the states.... would he be of the mind set to go after Felicity for pretending to be bratva? Make Oliver choose to do another favor to protect her, or he has to step in to save her?
